You're missing the point, and you make it seem like everyone should be an expert in everything. Not everybody that uses a computer understands the thick stack of technologies at play. It may seem simple to you, but that's you .

I've never built a Rails app, so perhaps there's something simple that I'm missing (I'm mostly a C# guy), but how would I use Skylight to monitor my on-premise application? The pricing makes it seems like a hosted servi

You don't need expertise in a particular profession to come to the conclusion that someone is being smug, rude, etc. If I saw someone on the street being disrespectful, is it unfair for me to come to that conclusion because I don&#x27

I'm surprised at how polarized the usage percentages are. Near 50% are using between 1-5 times a month and a touch over 20% are using 26-31 times per month (daily). It sounds like people are either using casually or they throw all th

Sorry, but how does being a random shareholder imply that business is being conducted in the most efficient manner? Just because a company had an IPO doesn't mean it will make the most sensible decisions. I'm not saying Twitter i

I'm by no means a typography expert, in fact I don't particularly care about typography all that much. I like the new font, but there's some characters (e.g. "o") that just seem like they have an extra pixel or two

His mention of the glowing hockey puck made me realize that I haven't seen a glowing puck for awhile. Granted, it may be that I haven't watched hockey as much as I did when I was a kid, but I certainly didn't see it last yea

"And I have made the that mistake. Friends and family member I have tried to show/teach programming." I'm just curious, knowing what you know now, how would you go about trying to show someone how to program? I may hav

The colors speak for themselves. ;) It is amazing how long that is. My only experience with a belt was working at Walgreens on warehouse truck days. Even our 60 foot belt continually had product falling off of it. I wonder what kind of
