using object.format is perfectly ok regarding the rest. using headers might be more pure, but its not the biggest issue. the biggest issue with the rest-wanna-be interfaces is their use of object ids instead of object uris. so that I have t

I don't think there is much insanity here. GoDaddy is the kind of up/cross-sell and I'm sure they are highly profitable.

we've been offering "prototype in a week" for years at http://astrails.com/ Didn't get much demand for it. Its rare a customer will agree to the minimal enough feature-set for it to be viable.

I don't understand all the fuss about personalized ads. really. If Im going to see any ads I prefer them to be more relevant to me, not less. And if I do see something interesting and click I don't mind someone getting paying for it.

Yeah, right. Remove all the whitespace. While you at it also make fonts smaller so that you can cram more data into the same space. Some people actually like interfaces to be aesthetically pleasing. And whitespace is one of those things tha

Short answer - yes. But it's more complicated. You are not supposed to do programmng all day long, but ifbyou don't feel a need to expand beyond what you do at work its one of the following: 1) you work is so great and diversified that you

Rails never WAS "for beginners". That was never the focus and intent. The point of Rails is to make developers productive, not to make newbies feel at home. Yes, you could just ignore all the "magic" and treat it like a black box, and you s

too bad it doesn't help if you are doing any kind of server side css processing. sass, less, or even just combining css into a single file.

20K price tag is perfectly reasonable to develop a first public beta version of a web application (not too simple, not too complicated). Web application is much much more then a basic rails scaffold with devise and paperclip. For most of th

there is no much sense indeed to use node right now as a complete backend solution. There are much better ways to push out html and do db queries ;) This being said, there are lots of use cases where node shines. In short - anything related

Right. I also think we need surgery for the rest of us. I’ll be honest about my education. I studied CS, so the most biology I took was in the last grade at school and I haven't studied any anatomy. but I know to use table knife, scissors a

As far as I know you can use identical name for a different market. The question is how narrow can you define the market. Is it 'anything related to computers and networks', or we can say its 'voip' vs 'online music and documents and ...'.

if you make pirating harder you will undeniably get some of the would be pirates buying instead. and of course you can measure it easily on you sales. but. they say the conversion is 1000 pirates vs. one sale. Which only convinces me that i

I don't care much about /jobs/123 vs /job/123 my biggest problem with the default crud routes is create/update url mapping. if create fails, it will usually re-render edit, but now you have it over non-edit url. create actually shares url w

There are lots of cases when it was documented for piracy to bring positive change. This guys problem? Patience ;) Come on. The game was mass pirated like yesturday? Does he really expect the positive loop back to kick in that fast? People

i find it a little sad that the core people find it appropriate to ignore needs of a framework that brought the language from the obscurity it "enjoyed" for years to the front lines where it is now.

establishing a truth and proving it 'without a reasonable doubt' are different things. if you personally saw a murder you don't need no trial to know who is the killer. trial is to convince everybody else. In this case, trial might be requi

rubygems just needs to start "playing" with bundler. When a gem has an executable in it rubygems creates a stub capable of running actual code from any gem version by using magic parameter: foo 1.2.3 bar baz will run foo from gem version 1.

completely missing the point. map reduce didn't come to replace databases. it takes on tasks that databases are incapable of doing. google's search operation would be impossible to serve sanely with rdbms.

I dont think languages differ most in prospects for success after you've reached functionally-complete-and-relatively-bug-free stage. The biggest difference is how do you get to this stage. For a medium-to-big sized web application it wou
