This seems like a silly beef to have with a revolutionary product that still is in beta. You know it's developed by an American company, right? It's not crazy for them to have the first language supported to be the language the people from

As a progressive younger person who has been swimming in internet culture for 15 years now, I find my attitude, wants, needs, and desires are almost completely left out of pop culture. The news rarely people with my point of view on it. The

As a PHP programmer the inconsistency of the string functions is not only bothersome, it's embarrassing. This seems like an interesting fix for that.

I don't think people understand how much this matters. If you were an evil genius and wanted to destroy Earth's antibiotics, there would almost be no better way than to mass feed it to animals that can have diseases jump to humans. It's the

This has everything to do with regulating bit coins and the exchanges. No bank in the US would ever dare run a stock rails site, I would bet they would be rightfully sued. On top of that, funds in a bank are insured to a point so if some

So a major distribution being used all around the world should stop being criticized because it's "fine for your laptop"? That seems astonishingly myopic.

It is scientifically proven that REM sleep helps solve problems. I'm not saying the other things don't play a part, but if you are giving a problem and you get REM sleep you do statistically better on it afterwards then people who had the s

It really is fantastic. There is a beauty in the objectivity of that video. Images of incredible dedication and passion right next to images of war and destruction. A perfect view of what it is to be human. We are an amazing species. So cap

No, the least you could do is make snarky comments about the people who are actually trying to do something. This isn't about 'signing up' for a website. This is about trying to mobilize a group of people that often times is not that involv

What's important is that you've found a way to feel morally superior and do nothing about the problems we face today. A true internet warrior.

Thank you for taking the time to write this. You have sufficiently peaked my interest. My next personal project will be done in Ruby.

Sorry to respond twice to your post, but I realized this was a great opportunity to learn something. Given my basic example in my post, what language would you recommend I try to accomplish this task? I like to stay away from frameworks so

I in no way meant to suggest that any criticism of PHP should be considered 'ivory tower'. I thought I was clear in my opinion that PHP is not perfect. I disagree that writing PHP code is 'painful'. It's perfectly fine for countless develop

That was one point in favor of PHP, and it was a small one. I'm competent enough to set up any environment if the project required it. However, some hosting companies won't even let you do that. A client might have purchased a small package

I've played around with Python and Ruby (more specifically rails), nothing serious though. I enjoy trying new things, but never found them worth delving into for my purposes. I 100% admit this a reflection on me and not those languages. I h

I have no idea. I can't stand the attitudes in this country towards nuclear. I'm a vegan, ultra-left, hippy and I think the left has it's head so far up it's ass when it comes to nuclear power. I have no idea why they are so against it as a

I don't think it's as deliberately evil as that. It's probably more along the lines of someone one thinking, "Do I cut my own salary or drop a fire fighter? Hmmm... My house hasn't caught on fire yet!"
