I don't understand how this argument keeps coming up. If you use rails, schema changes and migrations are DEAD EASY and I am not even a professional developer. What time exactly are you saving ??

People really need to stop ragging on the Ember team... "Too hard to learn", "I'm abandoning it for now", etc. etc. etc. These guys are making a (potentially) awesome framework in the spirit of open source, for you, for free. If you want t

Are there any open source alternatives (I'm thinking Ruby/Rails/Sinatra) where I could throw up my own RSS read/sync server onto Heroku or something?

If I am deploying an application with "deploy" (i.e. non-priviliged), it is ok to also run Unicorn as deploy? Or should it be run as nobody or www-data ?

I have been using Slate since that last post came out on HN (a few months ago?) and am absolutely loving it. Combined with binding your caps lock key to "hyper", I have a whole suite of customized keyboard shortcuts that are super useful! A

There is nothing wrong with Bootstrapping subsequent projects using your last one. I just believe that there is so little value prop in this (if you are even moderately competent using Google) that I have a hard time seeing it succeed at $1

I posted a comment on their blog about this, not sure if it went through though (old IE version here at work...) I think they WAY overstate the difficulty of setting up a Google Group. I just did it in 2-3 steps.... All of the "setting

Lately I've been wondering if I'm going to learn one of these technologies, why I wouldn't stick with Derby.js . They are using the NPM, and so are way more in touch with teh general Node community. Meteor is doing their own thing, which o
