Grit doesn't use the "core code" of Git. GitHub found that using Git itself was too slow, so they wrote a parallel implementation of it in Ruby.

I've got a question about Noir. Is it necessary for me to write HTML with Clojure, or can I separate it and write plain HTML somehow? Writing HTML in the middle of my Clojure code doesn't appeal to me coming from a MVC background...

We have an Apple TV, but it's not connected to the house's speaker system. Airfoil is nice because I can hook an old iOS device up to the main receiver for the house and send music to it through iTunes, Spotify, etc.

I can't wait to see self-driving cars that come out of other companies (as the article briefly mentioned at the end). This is a complex system that Google and its computer scientists are well suited to build. Not so much the same story at G

Wow, looks very nice. I didn't see anything about this on the page, but is it still geared towards PHP/static/etc sites with normal non-rewritten URLs? It didn't seem to work very nicely with fancy rewritten URLs when I tried it last (for e

It's one thing to be scared of the deep inner-workings of OpenSSH (which truly can be scary). It's another thing to be "scared" of ssh-keygen, especially considering it's something that most competent developers will use when managing serve

This seems like it would be beyond the scope of the project (to provide a simple rich text editor.) It should be very easy to add some sort of inline commenting/review system in your own application.

This is a fantastic rich text editor, easily one of the best I've seen. If I remember correctly, 37signals uses it in the note writing feature of the new Basecamp.

No, this is not necessary to build a production-ready Rails site. If you want to send your files through a CDN, then you'll need to perform this configuration (which is still easier than writing the logic yourself.)

Did you just decide to not read the part where he said "Not that you would"? He was making a point, not actually suggesting that they use Dropbox before it was invented to make backups of their multi million dollar movie production.

Ask HN: What are your thoughts on wikis?

Of course, it's trivial to write request methods that bypass the rack middleware in Rails.

According to this answer from a Twitter employee, they still use Rails: http://www.quora.com/Does-Twitter-still-use-Ruby-on-Rails/an... Besides that: GitHub, Basecamp, Groupon, Shopify, LivingSocial, YellowPages.com (unless they've change

I've had the same experience with emailing about the education discount. Has anyone heard back yet?

This is fantastic. It might solve the issue of low quality apps on Facebook, and it's awesome to see that they're using their knowledge on who their users are in developer analytics - that's something Apple can't provide.

See, I actually like that. Here in the US, I'm annoyed when I have change because it's essentially of no use to me. Furthermore, if I can't find something like a tip jar nearby, I'm stuck with it. When I'm in Canada, I don't mind having cha

Do you think there's demand for a "corporate wiki"? I've been toying with the idea of that on the side for months, but I'm unsure of the demand for it. It seems like wikis are something that people don't enjoy using and don't have a need fo

All of these points are subjective, why are you trying to argue against them?..

This project is really interesting to me, but my biggest issue is the code completion issue. I can deal with writing UI code manually, but Cocoa's APIs are complicated and I find it difficult to remember the method names, argument names, et

I'm fairly sure that section is talking about compiled code, structure of the app, the archive, etc, considering it says "compiled ahead-of-time, never interpreted, and you access the entire set of iOS public APIs." the previous paragraph.

Plus the cost of a server than can run Java applications that like memory, but yeah.

Because they have no control over its user interface, they don't control the app market, and they don't have control over whether or not the tablet uses Google services or not. Like it or not, Google is a for-profit corporation. For them, A

I'd say that Rails made it much more quick to get started with web development than Java and Python did at the time, maybe. Certainly, I could do the same things with PHP as I could with the new hotness that was Rails, but I did it much mor

I'm not sure if you fully understand the subject matter in question. EventMachine powers Thin, which is one of the most popular app servers in the wild. It's extremely easy to hook into EventMachine in Rails, and I encourage you to give it

by cmelbye 15y ago
What I don't understand is that Ruby already has the purported benefits that node.js provides. If you're doing networking stuff, we've got EventMachine for doing event-driven architecture, and that's a heavily proven library in production

I sincerely hope that this is a troll comment. I suppose it's subjective, but I don't consider "ssh-keygen -t rsa" to be scary, and I would've thought that most developers would've already have OpenSSH installed (which is the only dependenc

If we stopped frequenting all businesses that make political decisions we disagree with, we'd have no businesses left. That's sort of the reality of it. I still shop at Target despite donations to a republican candidate for governor in Minn
