I saw that you also posted this review of your own app (Gaia GPS, $2.99), claiming that you hadn't tried one of the features: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewConten... andrewljohnson: * * * * * (five stars) "The new

I went ahead and posted this comment on the blog post. It'd be great to be able to at least have a sandbox to build a library for communicating with the API to test out libraries and clients under development. Without something like that,

It looks like the "Try a new browser" options are set based on browsers that are available for your OS. Since IE and Chrome aren't available for Mac (Chrome for Mac's not officially ready), those aren't shown to Mac users.

Datamapper ( http://www.datamapper.org ) is a great alternative as well. It's not as full-featured as ActiveRecord, but then it's also not nearly as heavy!

Several companies in Portland are teaming up to offer exactly this. Comcast has a new plan for $49 that offers a 12mb/2mb cable internet connection along with 4G/WiMAX across the Portland metro area. If you tack on another $20, you get acc

It's a shame, but Metro-Fi in Portland, Oregon was a spectacular failure. I'd suggest that efforts to deploy metro wifi networks focused on the wrong technology at the wrong time. The project was a partnership between the City and a privat

I guess I'd suggest dropping the "movement" rhetoric unless you are truly promoting non-relational databases as the be-all end-all solution for object persistence for all applications and use cases. Most advocates of technologies like Tokyo

It's about experimenting and having fun, not making money. Better to state it up front than to go in with dreams of making millions in a month :-).

Perhaps, but not if you're trying to push out an update to existing frustrated users. Also, I've got a feeling that once Apple saw what happened Thing Would Not Go Well. Just kind of a sad story all around, I guess.

It took me a few hours to sort this all out on my own on Friday, but now that something like an "official" guide for Ruby developers has been released, I'm glad to find that I ended up choosing the preferred path! After recompiling Ruby 1.9

It's really cool that you've poured so much of your time, research, and development into building out this framework. Congratulations on bringing it so far - I can't imagine this being an easy feat. I have to say, though - I really couldn'

I like the idea of a real baseline grid, but... "Safari 3, Google Chrome, Firefox 3, Opera 9 and Internet Explorer 8 all work correctly with some minor differences." Seems like cross-browser compatibility (including Firefox 2, IE7, and he

Really wish this site would bill itself as "Web Development Q&A" instead of "Web Design." Of the three pages of questions currently on the site, none of them would be better described as "design" than "frontend development." It's time w

Don't worry - it looks like there's an educational/non-profit discount of 40%. So generous! If only my work were valued at 50¢/word...

Charles and the team are doing a fantastic job bringing Ruby to new platforms and enabling the language to flourish in Java-centric organizations. It's hard to underestimate the significance of their effort in enabling Ruby applications to

Oh definitely - sorry, I didn't mean to be flippant or to suggest that dropping indexes on everything were some sort of magic scaling powder. I once worked on an app a client brought in from an outside company that had slapped indexes on e

If there are Rails developers who work with applications of any size at all and are not familiar with indexes, the problem isn't scaling - it's lack of knowledge of one's application's stack. The mentality that one's app should magically
