FWIW domain_info doesn't appear to be on rubygems.org.

In some cases, definitely. However, I rarely find myself missing most of the features that you don't get.

Glad you published this Giles. I really think you hit the nail on the head in your criticism of rails, and not necessarily ruby. I think some of the framework decisions in the 3.0 release were kind "abstraction for abstraction's sake" moves

Fan-fricking-tastic. Thank you for writing this. This should be syndicated in the Times, WSJ, and every local newspaper in the country -- maybe then people would get it. Great piece.

Excellent synthesis Andrew, thanks for summarizing this. From my perspective, you really nailed it with the third and fourth points -- fans, communities and evangelists. It was truly amazing to see how excited people got about Zaarly and ho

I'm one of the first engineers to join Zaarly, I've been with the company since pre-launch (late April). I can tell you from analyzing the traffic statistics myself that these traffic bumps are extremely short-term. Tweets from celebrities

We were actually surprised at the lack of results relative to more traditional media and PR coverage. Getting celebrity tweets helps to get a few users, but it won't get you close to 100k in a few months if you don't do the other things rig

I haven't read the article, but I think I can surmise the correct answer from reading the title: No.

Are you willing to reveal your and your company's identity once you're completely off of Mongo?

Some transparency would be appreciated. - Who are you? Your HN acct was created 14 hours ago, and it's name is extremely specific to this particular post -- "nomoremongo". Nothing wrong with it, just a little peculiar considering the subjec

> But when your application is in production you need migrations even with a "schema-less" db! I disagree. The most frequent use-case I come across is adding columns / fields to a table / collection, and not needing to ALTER TABLE and r

I disagree that this is a "bad sign". This is one of the great things about open source software -- the creator of a library isn't, nor does he/she have to be for the library to be useful, the sole "expert" in that library. Your post proves

1. Read code on github. 2. Write lots of code. 3. Repeat steps 1 & 2. Happy coding!

“most engineers are capable of writing bug-free code. it’s just that they don’t have an incentive to do so at most companies. when there’s a QA department, it’s easy to just throw it over to them to find the errors.” Bull. Shit. This one

No, it won't update the version numbers in your Gemfile. But to be clear, let's assume you have the following in your Gemfile: gem "rails", "3.0.0" gem "formtastic", ">=1.0.0" Running bundle update (with no arguments) won't

Just to clarify, you can always run bundle update for a specific gem, instead of for every gem in the Gemfile (this is the behavior if you run the command without any arguments). Recent versions of bundler (>=1.0) are pretty good about
