Right you are; I did that and was able to see a bunch of stuff I'd not want to share over the web. :) Sheesh. Ruby runs over 3000, if you're not running the ruby server on 3000 there's not going to be anything listening. Facepalm.

I had the same question as we do mostly PHP; I'm guessing it just uses Ruby as the host software. I installed the Gem and was able to acquire a URL but kept getting an error: An error has occurred: {"stack":"Error: socket hang up\n at So

This pilot uses it right now; well, technically I use an app called ForeFlight that's a bit more mature than the app in the OP however it's the same exact concept. It's wonderful; I still keep paper charts as backups but never use them anym

That's symptomatic of being a fresh college grad (which this gal is...she's only four years out of school). You're still under the influence of being told you're smart because you got an A in whatever class. Take somebody like me, who's be

From TFA: "What does it mean to be educated?" Observing the dialogues over the last few weeks it seems that the participants all define being "educated" differently. But they are not establishing their perspective before stating their case

Ain't it though? They're referencing the stereotypical programmer behavior with such breathless wonder. Of course it probably wasn't stereotypical back then, but I was an 8 year old hacker who worshipped Steve Jobs when that was filmed so.

Yeah...I got to the baby voice and the phone and shut it off. It's a little pedo-creepy.

Good 'ol Turbo Pascal. I wrote an encrypt/decrypt program in TP and a friend of mine and I used to pass encoded messages back and forth on 3.5" floppy disks. To the subject at hand...I think it's a question of motivation. "Easy" was never

Thanks. Our language on the matter is very specific, and we are very explicit about that policy both in the contract paperwork and in our verbal communications. Even so, I'd say 3 of 5 clients try to pull the "we haven't been paid yet, we

Sure...I guess when I hear "time bomb" I think of something that wipes source code or data. Something that alters the bits and bytes. That's the thing that will cause you a world of hurt. What you're talking about is of course totally le

"Also, I'm surprised no one has mentioned a controversial practice I know that others have used: time bombs in the software. It goes something like this: Here is your working version which we will make permanent when you're paid in full." I

My small firm has never had cash flow problems and we've never had a client successfully avoid payment. (EDIT: We've had cash flow problems in the beginning due to being a startup, but never from non-payment). There are a few things that we

What am I missing? I don't understand why this college vs uncollege horse race is generating such furor. We're engineers not because it pays well (which thankfully it does) but...because we just _had_ to be. I was born to be an engineer and

Yup. Facebook is people I used to know, Twitter is people I'd like to.

I've been involved in the restaurant business in almost every aspect, from barback/bartender/waiter to manager to owner/investor in high volume bars, fine-dining, burger joints, food trucks, and pizza parlors. There's a pretty solid delta b

The problem is that Zaarly doesn't actually have to be liable. Lawsuits cost defendants a ton of money and there are plenty of hungry PI attorneys out there that will litigate in hopes of contingency fees.

I have access to a couple of sites that get > 1 million visits a month...one hospital system site and one suite of home decor magazine sites. Fairly 'normal' user demographics. For both sites, Bing and Yahoo are at around 8% each. Go

Not remotely serious. To be quite candid I forgot that there are languages that use the equal sign as both equality and assignment depending upon context. VB I think does that.

Fifteen, wasn't it? 1996 was the "reprinted from" date. The net was really just breaking public at that point. If I time traveled back to visit 1996-me, I don't think I could even explain what 2011-me did for a living because the technol

It's silly to us hackers that the paywall can be defeated with Firebug/CSS/JS, etc... But does that mean that the NYT has failed in their mission to monetize their content? I'm not sure it does. I still have conversations with lots of fo

No, it doesn't, market forces are devaluing the design industry. Designers, especially web designers, are working in a highly saturated market. Even in the rural area where I live, I constantly meet designers who want to be in the running

Thank you. All I could come up with was "Hot For Teacher," which doesn't make for much of a business model.

I've been involved with several projects that did this. The motivation wasn't to sound hip and cool, but rather to find a domain name that some squatting piece of trash wasn't asking eleventy million dollars for.

That may be, but it's the rare equity negotiation I enter into where the party with "the idea" understands that they're not going to get majority ownership.
