It's not "completely" silly at all. For "normal" users, it's true that they may never need to do this. It's also a largely "safe" assumption that your site's visitors will have JavaScript en

I really liked Merb, and stuck by it for some time. Rails 3 was supposed to be Merb 2. It wasn't really, but Merb was still lost to the "merge".

Thanks for the de-demotivation.

I'd be OK with that.

This is depressingly similar to what I was aiming for when I recently began work on: https://github.com/lean-framework/lean (I feel like this happens to me a lot.) Rails controllers are hard to test because actions are

I feel that the moon bases analogy is incredibly unfair. Bitcoin's utility has already been demonstrated, and, through that, the utility of decentralized digital currency in general. The remaining question isn't so much the long-t

He's probably referring to marijuana, and there's numerous studies that would both support and contradict that notion. Anything consumed in excess can be harmful in the short-term and long-term, including food, water, or oxygen.

A few months ago, I had a brief exchange over Twitter with an artist from perhaps my favorite band: https://twitter.com/edwarddroste/status/343418176454926337 "Maybe they're trying to catch your latest t

Life is a gamble. Hide in the house or accept that you might fall off the bike and scrape your knees once in a while.

Mining isn't free. You will need to purchase hardware if you want to mine in a capacity that's actually profitable. If those coins depreciate, then all that mining is for naught, same as if you had bought them with cash. If you want to get

Nevertheless, being unable to maintain focus on activities that are not enjoyable/easy is a diagnostic criteria for inattentive ADHD. Whatever the case, categorizing these symptoms into a disorder is rather inconsequential to the fact that

I do my best work when I take stimulant medication. I simply do not get as much done without it, and even then I find it can be ineffective. With programming I often lose track of what I'm doing and end up off task without even realizing it

This and the seeing the Twitter logo done in CSS is inspiring. I seek to create my own images using CSS3.

I don't even really look at my feed. There's way too much going on in it for me to really keep track. I basically "watch" repos to bookmark them. "This might be useful in a project at some point; let me make sure I can find it later." C

Here's my anecdote: 1. I dumped view helpers for decorators (namely, the Draper gem). I got rid of complex logic in my view templates. Most of the logic I need in my views is transformed object properties. I need a date to appear as mm/d

What even constitutes as a "small" or "large" application? My current Padrino project is around 2000 LOC, excluding tests. As it has grown more complex, I've broken off larger parts of its functionality into smaller apps within the same pr

I use Padrino exclusively now; it does everything I need while also being lightweight, fast, and modular. Since I haven't played with Rails since 3 was in beta, I'm genuinely curious: from a purely technical standpoint, for what types of pr
