I've now heard from two other people with the same experience: UI pushed a database upgrade, price was suddenly $50, support gave no help getting back to previous normal. Thank you for your email address, but no. The support ticket was

Does anyone have screenshots of the database upgrade that the Heroku CLI is pushing? It gave me some technical-sounding warnings about needing to update my database, sounding a lot like the infrequent app stack updates (from Bamboo to Cedar

Thanks, I'm really glad to hear a non-rubyist liked it. You put your finger on a really hard balancing act: the more Rails and Ruby specific it is, the more I can offer really practical steps for how to improve the Rails apps I spend a

After I gave the talk, an audience member came and thanked me for giving such a nice Haskell talk. I said "shhhhhh!"

I didn't talk about MVVM in this talk, pretty much all of my examples were about decomposing the M. That said, I'd love to hear what Fowler thinks of it, too.

Yep. I've also seen a few people using the same strategy I do of user+sitename.com@example.com so they can recognize when email addresses get abused and trivially filter them. For what it's worth, I have cleaned up enough servers

[author here] Because I'm also sending a lot more info on things I had to cut from the talk for time (eg. samples of test code). I haven't finished or polished the stuff that I knew early I had to cut, so it's coming out as I

Wow. Not in a good way. Sorry to cut ahead in the story, but Agent Mark Force is under indictment for abusing his position to commit theft and fraud. It is ridiculous to think of a long-term officer talking to the police without a lawyer. T

(blog author here, very surprised to see my old post show up) Yeah, I think of all of these as value objects, and DDD was also a large part of my inspiration for this series of posts. This code eventually rolled into a RailsConf 2015 talk:

Justin Searls' recent talk "The Social Coding Contract" has a nice take on why expectations get so out-of-sync: http://blog.testdouble.com/posts/2014-12-02-the-social-codin... Nobody is "the bad guy

I won't dispute any of the article's technical points, and I once used attached signatures for similar reasons. But I will point out that attached signatures are unusable because you get never-ending replies from people asking wha

Rich ran the Chicago PHP Users Group for something like a decade, getting a lot of people into web coding or writing better code. He's a generous, kind person who could really use a little generosity himself.

This sounds like a reimplementation of virtual machines at the os layer instead of hardware layer.

Huh. I started with the video and closed the site. Didn't realize until I saw your comment that this wasn't a dudebro stalker thing like Girls Around Me. I don't get it. The rest of the site is trying to be respectable.... which just comes

View event bindings. I'm often debugging pages I've never seen before and the only way I've found to know what's bound to what is to grep the js for live/bind/click/etc. or replace the event library (usually jQuery) with one where I've inse

"I don't want to get a $100 dedicated server, because in the first month, I might have...zero income." What is the cost of your time for 2-3 months of development? Is it over $100? "Zero income" is your big risk, not whether you can code th

"Sorry?" It is wonderful. People make great things and run their businesses on Excel. It has its faults and people are not programmers, but it makes an incredible percentage of businesses run.

Does anyone have a copy of the CVEs that's not on Google Groups? Something in the js or cookie-handling is broken for me and the page includes no text.

I think it can't deal with the traffic it's getting. I saw a couple of hits to my server and the page's progress bar moved a little, but it's been stalled for quite a while now.

It seems to me that one of the major drivers of hostility to NICS is the fear that the government having a complete and accurate listing of gun purchases will enable a future fascistic government to neuter resistance by confiscating guns. S

Does anyone have a copy of the source to theinfo.org or any of this previous versions? I have a complete archive of the mailing lists. I'd like to make sure it doesn't disappear, it and other things Aaron did inspired things I made.

Where did you make the argument? I see you making the claim, but there's nothing arguing it, no evidence. There's just the vague thought experiment about extracting signal from noise. To point it out another way: humans can't be intelligent
