How are you defining intelligence? And how would you measure variance of intelligence across cockroaches in a way that is relevant to a way that you measure intelligence across humans?

Google is not a privacy company. How can they show you context relevant ads if they can't read your email? So this will probably never happen within Google for political reasons. But even for technical reasons, it's probably a w

You aren't buying a bike for $85/year, you are paying for a service. It's like the difference between buying a server and paying Amazon to do it for you. If you are discerning enough to buy a decent bike on (e.g.) craigslist

The first step of scaling an app is not to make sure you have a server with at least 43GB of RAM. If we say a typical Rails process is 150MB, then consider several hundred of them... 150MB * 300 = 43GB So, while your point is valid, in

This seems to be but a first step - it's currently limited only to calls of the form `Article.find(id)` and `Article.find_by_xxx(value)`. e.g. `Article.where(xxx: value)` or `Article.where(xxx: value).last(3)` will not benefit from thi

Thanks, really happy to see this is the officially recommend approach. I've been doing it, but got some uncomfortable knee-jerk reactions from other developers, e.g. "But you should NEVER serve static assets directly!!!".

This doesn't strike me as an effective demographic to "full on censor" in this way. Generally speaking, people interested in hacker conferences know how to proxy around a net nanny. Could this be a botched poor-mans wiretap?:

I think that scenario is pretty unlikely for large exchanges. If someone gave me a copy of a private key, corresponding to some bitcoins, I wouldn't consider it payment, as they still have the private key as well (meaning they could st

I don't think that's disingenuous. It's safe to assume that anyone who hopes to leverage websockets will not be using a blocking application architecture. We can also assume people are running this software on multiprocessing

Your post makes me feel like you're missing the point of BDD. The point of BDD isn't to "stop breaking the code". I think "coders" value "code" too much. The point of BDD is to build understanding of

You're right in that they are largely the same action, but consider this case: An Owner is deleted without setting the pets.owner_id to NULL. So now there's a row in Pets with an owner_id referring to an Owner that doesn't exist. These two
