This is why you vendor gems, and the current accepted practice of not vendoring gems is dead wrong. I've been chastised before in rails irc for this. I strongly believe the source of all depndencies possible should be in your repository.

Really, how much could this site be worth? If I got this type of work from someone I'd probably tell them no thanks and stop returning their emails as well.

The clear answer is probably appreciated however the implication that reimplementing something needs to be "justified" is absurd, even setting aside the fact that the syntax you use is representative of the arbitrary, inconsistent, and gene

Sanity does not mean following the rules or being normal, and the concept is not antihacker. Loss of sanity is generally a miserable sad state where the ability to judge reality to either one's own or other's satisfaction is compromised. Do

Seems like a great idea though I wonder if there must be some trials that are flawed and would mischaracterize a drug either negatively or positively. Otoh, if some studies could be excluded based on major flaws, of course this would be a m

There is a difference between being abrasive and openly declaring unlawful intent. While the latter is not (always) illegal, it is a legitimate factor for prosecutorial discretion and sentencing.

So he committed a crime and wrote words that characterize the intent behind crime in such a way as to increase prosecutorial interest and sentencing. Now you are saying he was just joking around when he said those things? Perhaps it's true,

If you end up with an app that is marketable and users will respect, the 8 weeks is probably worth it. Besides, it's a skill that keeps giving. Now he cans spend the next week both writing and designing his next app instead of getting stuck

I'm not sure how any developer survives in China without a VPN, so this is probably one of the least vulnerable groups. On the other hand, any deployment strategies that depend on github are going to be hosed. I no longer live in China. Int

I got one wrong. I attribute that not to my genius but to having seen the excellent documentary "Helvetica". Turns out that's an excellent home date movie.

Civil forfeiture laws are the scariest government threat to American freedoms and rights. Unfortunately they have been upheld by the Supreme Court. And oddly, the freedom touting Republicans have traditionally supported these laws as they a

Seems like a rather easily detectable bot, playing 800 tables a day and playing predictably. I thought all poker sites banned such bots. Is that just a lie?

For someone who has written dozens of applications and has already experienced such pain, why would they head straight back into it instead of starting with the best tools?

Because hedge funds will bid up a stock that no one else is allowed to buy? I thought they like to make money. Markets are often undervalued due to restrictions on buyers. The bull case for the stock is that AAPL will make itself the buyer

Significant demand in a large cap stock mostly comes from large institutional investors. Large institutional investors are finite, and those investors must limit how much any stock represents in their portfolio. Regardless of what your text

You could also make an argument that a large stock like Apple gets out of line with fundamentals because it represents such a large portion of pretty much every institutional portfolio that could own the stock, so movements are often due to

> Stocks the size of Apple are never "extremely" under/over priced. Size has nothing to do with whether a stock is over or underpriced. Apple could rather conservatively be valued at $600 or even $700 per share. I'd say that's an extrem

I suspect this type of information is pushed to manipulate the market and provide flip opportunities for hedge funds. Apple is down 5%. Imagine if you knew on Friday this story was going to be published. Given Apple's forward looking cash p

This activist was working to change laws, so that's a circular argument.

Per $ of GDP and per capita GDP, China is far worse. That's a far more important forward looking measure.

You over-estimate people's appetite for change. Dropping DST is feasible and I agree with it. Converting to global UTC - not going to happen unless there is a compelling reason for your average folks, 99% of whom need to consider time zones

I appreciate your optimism. You do know not everyone in the world is interested in, let alone willing to make such changes? I'd guess less than 1% would be. The cost would be in the hundreds of billions. Meanwhile, try getting just the US t

The mandate is to respond. 25,000 people signing a petition doesn't mandate action. With a response it is acknowledged that you have been heard, likely by people very high up in the administration. That's about all you can hope for for such

A more nontrivial amount of time would likely be wasted changing the time system of 7 billion people and every computer system. I think learning to include time zones in emails to people in different time zones might be an easier solution.

This is so absurd. While you may disagree with the punishment sought and the law, the government is enforcing the law, as written at the time the crime was committed. They guy actively broke many laws over a long period of time. The governm

I'm sure banks do use transactions, just not in a distributed system. It's hardly possible to use transactions when multiple entities are involved and you wouldn't want to anyway because you want a record of the failure, and that money actu
