So you have data that one day might go into an RDMS but the next day might go into file store? Do you constantly migrate old data between the two stores? What is the use case for this? Not being snarky, I'm genuinely curious. We use mo

Yes, exactly. We use request specs to test regular HTTP requests to regular pages or our API. And then we use feature tests with Capybara and PhantomJS to load the app, click through it, and make it loads as it would in a customer's br

Is swapping out the database layer so common you really need a complicated abstraction like the Repository model he mentioned? We've been running an app for 3 years and have never dropped ActiveRecord or Postgres.

I echo his sentiment. Integration testing, especially when you have a JS frontend, makes much more sense. I never saw the point of controller tests and making sure a controller assigns variable @widgets with [widget] and all that nonsense.

What are the SEO implications of this? I tried looking at their site (since they built it with their tech) and at the FAQ but couldnt find an answer. Is the content pulled via AJAX after page load? Or is it pulled server-side on the initial

Much better memory usage and (for us at least) better concurrency. We could only run 4 unicorn workers on a single dyno. But with Puma we run 16 threads with ease.

For cab service, Uber rides are serviced by already existing metro cab companies. The Uber cabs in here in Chicago were already licensed cabs, but now they can get dispatched via Uber. How is that any different from say, a cab company decid

Very interesting concept! How do food & restuarant laws apply in Europe? I know here in the US, restaurants need regular inspections by the local board of health. And restaurant is defined as "a facility that prepares and sells food dir

Is this anonymous copy-and-paste medium how people start to deal with their problems now? What happened to just talking to people or making tough decisions? I've seen more of these posts in the last year than I have in my entire time on HN.

the second image uses the word "exile" several times. Exile is typically associated with being cast out from one's group. The _why saga was before my time as a Rubyist but I always thought he vanished, i.e. left on his own accord. Was there

You can also specify a meta robots tag inside the page HTML. If you want to block a lot of pages, your best bet would be to add it to your master layout or template. You get the same effect of blocking on robots.txt but without exposing a l

I wasn't looking to answer any questions with regard to ethics. For your situation, I would want to know if you went on to purchase other X-Files episodes (or other works starring the cast members from X-Files). This would tell us whether o

I wish it were possible to have some sort of multi-channel funnel view of people who pirate content. Did they pirate a song and then proceed to buy the album? Did they pirate a the first movie of a series and then later legally purchase the

Off-topic but what are you using to serve up images on your site like that? Is it a custom script or an OSS solution?

Personally, I have no problem with profanity. I swear when I'm with friends and occasionally during meetings with my immediate team at work. It does help people relate to you and makes for a more casual atmosphere. However, in the context o

I question the accuracy of these numbers. Hitwise, Quantcast, Comscore, etc, all use sample data and extrapolate their numbers based on these figures. Often the data is gathered using toolbars that are installed as part of another software

How is PageTrawler or "content auditing" different from regular crawling of a website? I ran a website through and the output was basically the same as any off-the-shelf web crawler.
