   MySQL will silently truncate it without throwing an error however. And even when you know about it, you'll still get bitten occasionally and SERIOUSLY kick yourself when you realise the error. Postgres is better for the little things, but w

   It's pretty sweet (no pun intended) being able to choose sweets in such an awesome fashion; and then they get delivered and you get to enjoy the sweets as well. Repeat customer, love it. :-)

   As I said on twitter, someone finally managed to write a more pointless and retarded abstraction than HAML. Bravo, for all the _wrong_ reasons.

   Woohoo. Lowering the barrier of entry to testing stuff ftw!

   Administrating servers over IPv6 without having to put a public IPv4 address on the server is pretty damn awesome.

   Thanks for fixing. Didn't think you would've done anything with it, but I prefer to boycott apps that ask for more than they need just in case. :-)

   Didn't vote because it asks for permission to update my profile info and repository's as well as reading my public data. Can't see why it would need anything but read-access to my github profile.

   I bought this purely to support him for being brave enough to release it DRM-free. Currently watching it and trying not to snort my drink over my laptop due to laughing too much. Excellent way to discover a new comic I'd say.

    Always interesting to see how someone else solves a problem, and reaches into the ruby stdlib for a couple of tools as well.

    Hey, It's not aimed so much about having an online profile for yourself with constraints, but to inspire others and be inspired yourself. Three about me looks neat though, interesting to see how creative people can be when constrained in de

    Interesting suggestion! Definitely something I'd love personally as well, it's firmly on the todo list. Thanks! :-)

    Hi Natan, Good ideas thanks. Geographic location would definitely be interesting, I'll put it on the todo list. And I've tweaked the wording of the friends panel if it's empty. Knew we'd overlook something! Thanks again.

    Hi Alex, We've not added the ability to search by "do" yet, but if you view someone's profile and click on their "do" activity it'll list all other users with that "do" entered. I'll stick the searching on the todo list. :-) Thanks for the

    A-bloody-men. I read the post and mostly went "What?". If you're calling local variables the same as methods in the same scope then you're just asked for trouble. Mostly because when you come back and read it 3 months later it's harder to p

    Wonder what they're going to announce in the iPhone 5. Better battery life and perhaps a better GPS is all I really want over my iPhone 4.

    As of rails 3 (was sort of true in 2 as well) you really don't need a database. I've written two rails 3 apps recently that have no database, they're effectively a thin graphical client for a couple of JSON APIs. Works well, just don't requ

    (I'm the author of it) If you mean the point of writing it, I saw a couple of people tweeting about how to find it out by searching the source of https://github.com/account whilst logged in and wondered if I could automate it. A chance to

    Nice intro piece. Especially liked the breakdown of data structures in redis, comparing them to Ruby.

    Seems a pity to make developers bloat their app size by including the macruby framework over and over in each one. Users suffer in the end—takes up more disk space.
