My frame of reference is that most academic technical presentations are bad, just like most software produced during university research is bad to the point of being impossible to run anywhere else. You may feel that the information in a si

And I'd claim that an SSH key isn't one of them. There is only one platform (UNIX-based web applications with application servers) that actually benefits from them, and plenty that don't (Android, iOS, Mac desktop, Win32, this week's .NET d

In the areas it makes sense, nobody has the political will to say "this new dedicated high-speed right-of-way is going in your backyard whether you like it or not."

Magnetic credit card readers are cheap; look at how much Square charges. The fraud prevention mechanism for magnetic cards is mostly reactive and doesn't require "passphrases" or "cryptographically signing," which is a big usability win. Si

Rails doesn't bundle sqlite3, just lists it as a default dependency for new projects.

My projects have been the same way; I spend less time writing "function" and more time making stuff happen.

Got a source for that? I'm always fascinated at how Apple teams seem to work on several projects serially instead of forever working on the next version of some product.

We actually do know what each one was built for. Rails was originally used to make Basecamp. The closer in functionality your app is to the apps the core team builds, the better Rails fits. Django was originally a CMS for a news site, so it
