Because I don't make that much money. Because I enjoy working. Because, with 3 kids at home, work is a lot less work than being home. The most exhausting week this entire year was the vacation we took to the beach.

I hear you. I never had any "real" issues with RVM other than I probably never really learned how to use it, so it kept tripping me up. (I'm not very good at this stuff..) I was setting up a new computer a few months ago and decided to giv

I've used them both and found rbenv's Just Works factor to be higher for me, personally. There's definitely enough people out there using both tools that neither can be said to be the one that "everybody is already using".

That was my point, thank you. My point was more that I don't know how you can call someone poor who can't afford to buy the album or the book or the movie, but can somehow afford the device that they can play it on. That doesn't sound like

With all respect, a) I don't think that truly poor people have the means to be spending their time "consuming media". That definitely falls at least close to "first world problem". b) Despite the RIAA, which is an organization that deserve

Now I'm curious, does Twitter use the British spelling of the word over there?

I think it's probably my fault. Github seems to go down every time I start poking around in someone else's projects.

Fair enough. That's not what I took from the comment though.

No, I want to down vote comments that only serve to project a vague superiority vibe and don't add anything to the conversation.

I'll ask again, Hacker News. I've been on this site for three years. I've derived an incredible amount of knowledge from just being here and reading. Lately though, I'm enjoying it a lot less. I'm not sure if my tolerance for snarky, dipshi

Personally, I've been doing Drupal for a few years now and found the knowledge and skills to be a lot harder-won than the knowledge and skills that I've picked up with Rails in the last few months. The knowledge and skills that I've picked

I don't expect journalistic excellence from Gizmodo, but is it too much to ask to have at least one other person just proofread the thing? "How does this guy who got in on the ground floor of Apple only to turn on them years later?" I'm pre

Did you know that LinkedIn is a publicly traded company, and therefore their financials are pretty easily available all over the internet? https://www.google.com/search?q=NYSE%3ALNKD

'Scuse my tangent from your tangent, but this whole subtle [sic] thing seems like the clubhouse for the cool kids. I don't like the cool kids. That's why I'm here amongst my uncool peers reading and discussing pointedly uncool topics.

Thank god. Crafting HTML email is a thankless job IMO, and Googling for tips/help/pointers/bugfixes always makes me feel like Wall-E trying to sort through mountains of marketing spam for some actual technical help.

It's boilerplate. It's sensible to assume that sites might use GA, and their snippet is more optimized than the stock one Google gives you, IIRC. It's not difficult to delete.

Hey, way to go! I remember that letter on the NYC Ruby list. I find music and computers to be so parallel in so many ways. The whole "scrubbing toilets" thing is what they told all of us recording students we'd have to be doing to get an i

I'm not a security expert, but yes. Hashing is, by definition, a one way process. If it is meant to be encrypted and decrypted it's, well, encryption...

As a native Atlantan who was 18 during the 1996 games, I recall tickets being absolutely easy to get (many for below face value) pretty much anywhere you went in the Olympic village area. If you don't care which event you get into, the eas

Am I to understand that the reason this bill was blocked was because Obama was for it, thus the Republicans' only move was to block it from coming up for a vote? What kind of bassackwards country am I living in??

I'd have guessed it would've been at least twice that many. I recently opened up an account for the sole purpose of being able to get into their API docs and haven't been back since. Am I a fake user?
