This is exactly what my girlfriend was looking for. She's done a degree in surgery in Mandarin. This would be perfect for her to acquaint her knowledge of the body in english / latin terms. Thanks Stanford.

Yes but if the repository is cloned with a lock file, when you bundle install, the lock file is then updated with your new gem versions if you have not specified a specific gem version number.

by beilabs 15y ago
Yes, that's correct. Personally I always assign the working version numbers to the Gemfile. What happens in say a years time when you're meant to come back and maintain the site? New versions could mean a drastically broken system and you

Have an up-vote for being from Cavan! Languages should be always acquired wherever possible. On my travels I've picked up Irish, French, Chinese and attempting to learn Nepalese to placate the in-laws for my future wedding speech.

In 2005 a friend brought me a USB thumbdrive he had just bought for a few hundred RMB. It had apparently 10GB on it. He couldn't figure out why his files were not opening after saving them to the drive. The entire space on the drive was ab

Lived in a ghost estate in Dalian, China for about 2 years. Could have loud music and parties and was never really bothered by anyone. Moved to Beijing, real estate in 2007 was at a premium. Its even more so now since the Olympic games.

Surely this is possible, just use the offline DB and some funky Javascript.

I once worked in a Chinese software company on the mainland and often maintained code written by Chinese developers. I'm Irish and didn't appreciate their comments in Chinese, they didn't appreciate my comments in Irish. Once that was under

Shocking to hear about this from Hacker News. I'm an Irish citizen living in Oz, with a startup (www.dealpinch.com), and this is the first I've heard about it. One thing strike me straight away. The only reason I would accept equity would

Why not get her to set up a niche Deal of the Day website specializing in adventure tourism in your area? She knows the industry, group buying is hot and it could be easily run by a single person.

Prostitution is 100% legal here in Australia so long as a number of rules are followed. No soliciting near churches / residential areas. It's safe, the workers are protected by law, they declare and pay their taxes. The brothels pay their

This was my Irish education: 1 degree, 1 postgrad + 1 MSc later. 7 years of university. Total university fees: Roughly 5000 euros. What would be the equivalent in the United States?

@DublinClontarf, yeah, I used to use TOR hosted on a private slice, but thats also insecure. I'd use a paid VPN to buy pass it these days. Btw, I used to live in Clontarf for quite a while..

Agreed. We abandoned an Omniture integration recently after about 10 months into it. Far too expensive, a crap load of extra javascript in the code and a terrible user interface.
