As someone who has used and enjoyed Heroku off-and-on since 2010, I was rattled by the phrasing of the announcement. Reading comments about people's challenges and displeasures with Heroku over the years, they have almost never resonat

I remember learning about this in high school, but grew up in a part of a large city that only really developed after the 1940's, I didn't think much of it. However, the name was catchy so I had it stashed in my memory somewhere.

Can't seem to access this. It flashes some text briefly then gives me an 418 TEAPOT response. I wonder if it's because I'm on Linux? EDIT: Begrudgingly checked Chrome, and it loads. I guess it doesn't like Firefox?

There used to be a competent theme for the Cinnamon DE that replicated Windows 7 fairly well from the "boomerang project" group. May still exist, but it's been a while since I've used it or checked on whether it's b

That's a fair point. That's why I'm interested to know what is at the core of AlphaSite's complaint. One challenge, as I see it, is that there are three kinds of Ruby projects that need to take different approaches to th
