US people in general eat a lot of processed, canned and frozen food. Even in the areas where fresh foods are available. I see even many immigrants who don't do it in their home countries do it when they come here. I do think vegetables

Everyone is suggesting VM's but I found them far too much of a pain. Homebrew has been able to install all databases and other dependencies for me.

I had the best success with Jruby for Rails 2 apps. Makes moving between windows and linux pretty easy.

A watch and power bars wrapped in a PVC pipe. Not related to his case, but that is just hilarious. I mean if you wanted to simulate a time bomb, is there really a better way? Well you would want metal instead of PVC, but still.

While I do not know him personally, he was involved with an institution that I have some association with. It is not well known but he has a spiritual side as well. This is a book made from conversations on spirituality. http://b

I had high hopes for the original series, but couldn't watch a single one past 2-3 episodes, including Alpha House (which had the great pilot with Stephen Colbert). They just didn't have the writing quality for me. They were like

I am also completely spoiled by Mac's now. I don't know how I could go back, especially the trackpad.

They said they "saved" 7.6k which was equivalent to 4 months rent so I think it is $1.9k.

That is a bit over Rs. 80k per month. That is decent money in India. You can kind of understand the scale if you see that their entire remodeling job cost $14k. In western countries it would be 5x that at least. Their rent on 2k sqft is app

Even independent evaluators go by price history.

The pre-Islamo-Judaic-Christian world was more open to such transgender people in Asia. It was not anything that people concerned themselves with. I hope they can integrate themselves in mainstream occupations. I think things have come ful

There is no confusion if you read it as it is stated. They are referring to banks investigating Ripple, not Bitcoin. So no, the article is not confusing the two. Bitcoin technology (blockchain) is completely different from Ripple (consensus

It seems like quite a challenge to integrate their software with sellers. But if they do succeed, Amazon will not be able to compete on those terms. On the other hand I wonder if it can justify the $50 price tag. Amazon takes $100 for prime

Mortgage brokers have told me the FHA is no longer worth it. You can get a conventional loan with 5% down, FHA loans require 3% down but their mortgage insurance premiums are currently too high.

I think Ripple still has the better concept with consensus to verify transactions instead of proof of work.

To your first question, Rails tried to enforce some constraints at the application level, but it was lacking. I worked in a large production system and for extra safeguards their were DB level foreign key constraints. They are kind of a pai

Do you do databinding? I like KnockoutJS too, but to me it is purely limited to making a page more interactive, not much with back-end integration.
