I have switched to rbenv myself, but that "magic" makes RVM a potentially better choice for a beginner. * No need to install a second thing (ruby-build) to install rubies. * No need to do manual things like running "rbenv rehash". * More ch

That hurts to read. I enjoyed Deus Ex - a lot - but the narrative there is the stuff of cheap sci-fi paperbacks. It's just that such a narrative is more enjoyable when you get to actually walk around the world it's portraying.

For better or worse, the Ruby web community is so centered around one specific framework that people tend to just say Rails instead of Ruby. The post isn't comparing PHP with no frameworks versus Rails. Indeed, the author's conclusion is th

To me, the biggest Bitbucket UI issue isn't the lack of some of Github's snazziness, but the simple lack of visual cues to separate elements on the page. See: https://bitbucket.org/ellislab/codeigniter-reactor/ Every major block element o

For me and where I work, GitHub's repo restrictions are the one and only cause of us self-hosting a Git server instead of using them. We have around a hundred small, low-traffic repos. Let's put it this way: * on GitHub, thanks to our repo

The post suggests the name DeviceReady, not DeviceBridge. Though as a commenter pointed out, the deviceready.com domain is already taken.

I think I am going to have to give Arch a try. One thing that has kept me on Ubuntu family distros is font rendering. Ubuntu's patches for freetype, cairo, xft, etc are quite simply requirements for me for a desktop Linux. Some distros have

Comparing Reddit to USENET is probably one of the most insightful descriptions of Reddit I've seen anyone make. It is indeed a big loosely-related collection of communities, from which users choose a la carte their areas of participation. T

One of the reasons I like Dokuwiki and use it for my team is the fact that it stores everything in .txt files. You get to use wiki formatting and the features that wikis give you that text files don't (linking between related pages, etc), b

You mean the one platform besides iOS that actually does have a foothold in the market? Android is now 20% of the tablet market, while the BB Playbook is nowhere and the HP TouchPad can't even stay alive for two months.

I don't think that's the case, but there definitely isn't a market for tablets that fail to compete on features or price. The brilliance of what Apple has done with their mobile products is hard to overstate. They put all this effort into

But is "hacker" really analogous to "genius"? I mean, we have a bunch of annual hacker conferences. If "hacker" isn't something you can call yourself, who is going to all of these things?

It's sad that many of the people who say the word "hacker" means all these positive and inclusive things are often the same people who lambast someone for actually using the word that way to refer to themselves. Make up your minds. Is it th

You're only thinking of cars, and only comparing car use. You're neglecting things like the fact that plenty of people who might be car commuters in the US would statistically be public transit users in Germany. So, fuel cost pressures that

In my wife's experience as a teacher, it's not the teacher who is incentivized to push students through, or even the one doing the pushing. If the parent wants the student to advance to the next grade, the system says that they advance, oft

It's just extremely frustrating to not be a Github customer because the pricing model is completely unworkable. The little company I work at would love to host our repos on Github and pay for a plan appropriate for our level of use. But acc
