Too bad it's those anarchists/traitors/dissidents/hippies/[label] trying to make their socialist/anrarchist/communist/[derogatory adjective] opinions into facts. See what I did there? A Senator or any

It actually isn't built on Rails but I'm in the middle of a rewrite which is using Rails. Thanks for the compliment!

Agreed. I find posts like these disingenuous. What do learn from this list? I think we all know that SQL injection is a serious problem and a very common mistake already. What this list seems to do is just serve as a high horse we can all g

The short answer is do it right now with whatever tools youve got and learn what you need to learn to get a Rails app up and running. Your OS doesn't matter so much when you're first starting out. It'll matter later on when y

If you're upset about Tsarnev then you either didn't read that article or get the point. The photo they used was a real one, it wasn't doctored, the point of which was to ask the question of how this seemingly intelligent, no

What a crock. I get that some of this may be tongue in cheek but I really despise this attitude. There's this sort of weird pseudo-religious belief that by virtue of being involved in a startup you're somehow doing the world some

It's so frustrating to see the vast majority of comments here take this seriously. Thank you for having the guts to call it like it is.

I'm on iOS and I used a bunch of the GA apps and they all sucked or asked you to pay which I'm not opposed to but its not worth it for me. Maybe things in iOS land have gotten better since I last tried one.

I've used Piwik for years and it is incredibly simple to use and set up but this post makes it much more complex than it needs to be. In all honesty, it's just as simple as setting up Wordpress. Drop the Piwik folder on a server s

That's not relevant here. The point is that in doing harm to the US government while attaining a higher level of truth one may inadvertently create more problems for its citizens than the original act itself causes. In the marriage ana

The fact that the US doesn't recognize Snowden as a whistleblower doesn't prove persecution or anything at all. He broke the law. He and others may not like it or agree and they don't have to but its still clear he broke the

I'm talking about our identities here. I do some charity work on the board of a non profit. When I give talks and attend events with others in that particular field I am an advocate for a cause like everyone else there, not a developer

That could also have to do with location. I'm in Chicago so I have to admit you're right and that market is hot. I think the trouble there is breaking into it. Toward the end of my run as a full time freelancer I tried to get into

I can relate so much. This is so true. Three years ago I was in a position where the only way to get into the business was freelancing. I quit my job at a place that I'm so embarrassed to have worked for I won't mention it (it was

He's not even vaguely pro-NSA. He's pro-openness. The fact that this is the top comment is sad and its a testament to knee-jerk reactions in echo chambers around the world. There's a difference between the government as an en

Okay, it's obvious I don't know much about how pharma companies work but that's not the point. Let me put it another way: Lets do something that greatly benefits me, marginally benefits you, and wrap it up in good will and fu

Agreed. Are we just believing everything Snowden says without proof here and are we believing that any site that posts a Snowden interview is actually posting a legit interview? That's not to say someone really believed they were talki

This comes off as having been written in a bubble. What I hear is someone arguing for their own self interest while using the Middle Class to gin up support. Who wouldn't want to help the middle class? I'm sure the middle class co

Why do we see all OS makers as the enemy? I don't think they're trying all that hard to destroy privacy. What I see happening is that the average person doesn't care about their privacy to begin with. So OS makers give the pe

Why is it so terrible that Amazon know your shopping habits? Honest question. I've heard of cases where Amazon knew a woman was pregnant before her family and such things but I can't think of anything that would apply to most peop

No longer freedom respecting? I disagree. Its no longer hardcore hacker respecting but it's still free. Canonical has been walking this fine line between being a serious Linux distro and an OS that has the potential for average people

Not everyone is a pro. A lot of Bootstrap users are still learning the front end. Beyond that, I'm pretty advanced with LESS, SASS, and CSS and the first time I looked at Boostrap's LESS files I got overwhelmed. There's just

You're kind of implying that being advertised to means you automatically end up buying more than you want it need. I think that can be true but not necessarily. I see tons of advertisements but buy very rarely. For example, I see tons

Or seem? That's very polite (and smart) of you to say. I'll be the dumb one that comes out and says they are pedantic. Period. We have some great ones and a lot of "I'm smarter than this guy, look at me, [commence pedant

I think that's a difficult question for most people but I can honestly say yes. Sometimes its hard to tell what exactly motivated you to buy a certain thing. My first car was a Volkswagen Jetta. The advertisements made me aware of the

I don't want to live in an ad-free, review-only world myself. Advertising and reviews serve two different purposes. The one gets the word out about a product or service and lets the creator point out why their audience would like it. A

It really doesn't help that Snowden himself keeps asking for attention. He broke the story, gave away the docs, and still checks in every week so we all don't forget about him. I still think his leak was at least in part motivated

Ghost was a good idea but seems to be dead. Last post I can find is from last year. It's design inspired my own service however which was a nice silver lining.

It's even more relevant now with all the front end JavaScript frameworks that so many web apps rely on these days. In an age where web sites are now web apps that rely almost totally on JavaScript to function removing this option excep
