I think the community is just nervous, but I'm willing to give it a shot (as a sub 1000 karma-er). I do feel the heaviness of the new comment system though; and I understand the uneasiness of those commenting--kind of like swapping fil

I didn't begin to appreciate java until I had to write a 10k line application for one of my classes last semester. Sure, it probably could have been written in half that with a more modern language, but there's just something abou

As a student, this is exactly what I think when a potential employer asks, "What language would you like to be interviewed in?" I love the power that each language brings to the table. I'm fluent in the language I'm usin

Kind of. I've actually found that bundling my apps for heroku actually make them easier to move onto different platforms. The fact that I can run foreman start and have my dev environment running locally is extremely useful to our te

I'm sorry I didn't specify. I know how to check my usage, but my "next bill estimate" is only 11 cents. My total ends up somewhere between $1-3.

I signed up for the Azure trial program a while back, and I found the interface quite nice. About a week later I received a call from the Azure sales team asking if I would like to provision another MS SQL server -- I guess they looked into

I consider SoundCloud to be more like Vimeo than youtube. Always about the creator and viewer. Remember, SoundCloud, like Vimeo, has paid plans.

Not to take away from the story, because it's downright awful, but in Ukraine, most phones use pay as you go burner sims. That's what I used when I went there. I picked a sim card up for $1. My point is that fortunately, most of t

The whole time I was reading this I couldn't help think of all the "ported x to 30 lines of javascript" headlines. By that I mean, just because it can be done in a language, doesn't mean it's the best fit. I think h

Sorry, the word I should say is "experiments". I know it's not a good test case, you're right 100%. The lesson I was leaning toward was to always playing with software in new ways because you'll often find bugs wher

I feel the whole thing is extremely paradoxical that as the government is making examples out of hackers, they're rewarding their own. I'm not trying to raise the conspiracy flag or show off my tin foil hat, I just hope to see a r

Off topic kind of: It's a shame that the headlines immediately after Snowden's initial press release turned from, "The government is spying on you" to "Snowden is evading!" By this I mean, It was unfortunate to

You're right, you didn't. But, would you use rails again for your next project? The tone of your comment sounds like you'd like nothing to do with it next time around. I didn't mean for my comment to come off as snobby,

I don't know about you, but when I decide to do a project, I'll often use a new technology that I'll struggle with, because I want to learn and grow as a developer. Giving up because something is hard is a poor excuse. Period

Does anyone, or can anyone fill in some information on mediums stack? How they've managed to scale so well, etc? They've done an amazing, and I'd love to pattern after them.
