   I agree with the Manifesto. I've been using Rails professionally for 6+ years and the magic still causes some confusion. The Rails ecosystem provides so much out of the box and so many answered questions on Stack Overflow and Google

   It requires authentication so not broken but still a poor example.

   As I understand it yes, but I think the "Micheal Jackson problem" is a better name.

   Most (all?) don't have POP3/IMAP for incoming mail (they use webhooks for your web app) so you could send email through these but not easily receive it.

   I thought so too. I also thought it so too so I created this: https://github.com/gshaw/security-checklist

   Reminds of an early version of Visual Basic. Not saying that in a bad way either. For the original release VB enabled a huge number of GUI applications to be built quickly.

   Oh my that cover brings back childhood memories. It seeded my desire to program computers that is still with me 30 years later. (C64 for years till I saved enough for a used A1000).

    Been using this app for months and love it. Really nice to have a native GUI for Postgres.

    If all the steps are made available in the paper to reproduce the experiment I would consider it science. Just because people don't replicate the study because of other factors like time or money shouldn't take away from the firs

    Easy to stay away from when the server has been done for the last couple of hours.

    Here is an example of what it does to an issue. It wasn't immediately obvious from the README. https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/105

    Remote connections via SSH is the killer feature for PGCommander. Still nice to see another good looking app in this field.

    You can go a long way with using simple Ruby objects to break up logic and separate out logic from models. If developers are writing 1500 line models and the lead developer isn't doing anything about it a adding new abstract concepts

    I would be inclined to pick up passengers knowing they are sharing the cost of the benefit all the passengers are receiving.

    Thanks for the compliment. This is just the 1.0 MVP release. I've got a number of ideas on the roadmap. My intention was to build a birding app for the casual birder. Birds Eye covers the hard core birder market, I wanted something m

    It isn't open source but it will remain free. There is a similar Android app called Birds Around Me [1] that is very similar. I have no plans to implement on other devices. This is just a hobby. Ironically found after I built most

    Thanks! It's not open source at this time. I'm running it as a bit of an experiment and as a way to give back to all the people that have contributed in many ways (data, pictures, recordings, libraries) etc... I had the initial v

    BirdsEye has a dedicated database so it can provide more accurate distributions but its limited to North America (there are other regions). BirdsEye is also a paid product. If you are serious about birding it's worth checking out but p

    I wonder though that because the people that would feel the most discomfort would be out of sight, out of mind we still wouldn't learn our lesson. That said, maybe the technology created to sustain a colony on Mars could be used to cle

    It might be simple or maybe it's OCD but I sure wish there was a way to reorder table columns in the table schema without having rebuild the columns.

    I wish Threes! was this easy. Fun but too easy (beat it second time). This is a good thing for me so I won't waste more time on it :) Thanks for making it though, was a fun distraction.

    <3 Please make that happen! If I never have to deal with the PayPal API again I would be very happy.

    Tried v2 and didn't like it and actually got a refund from MAS for it. They are so good at marketing but Acorn is a better product.
