She makes a point of saying in point three that she's taking a critical look at what she intends to write, and makes sure there's good content in the scene, or she scraps/reworks the scene. Admittedly that doesn't say anything about the qua

Oh, it's not about _our_ preferences, it's about figuring out what time other people are talking about when there's an event happening with a live stream, and the stream says "We're back tomorrow at 9am CET." Never mind that if you've got a

I think the appropriate translation would be: Python - take your __init__+1 method class and just make it a function Ruby - take your initalize+1 method class and just make it a static method (and maybe make that class a module instead)

This sounds like it's supposed to be for hiring, but a quick search for Toronto had 7 of the top 10 as not hireable (according to their profile). Bug? Missing feature of MVP? Missing filter option?

If you're not going to be actively developing it, or sharing it with anyone, why on earth would you want it up on github anyway? Their value-add is collaboration, as a sole developer on a personal project I can't think of anything useful th

I imagine that all BTC available for trade at MtGox are in a MtGox-owned wallet. All trades are just done in their database, and a transaction only hits the bitcoin network when a user wants to withdraw BTC out of the market.

Don't even need that. BTC has been growing in "value" significantly over the past month or so. If they just wait a month between receiving bitcoins for payment and redeeming them for cash or whatever, that'll likely be a reasonable return o

Yeah, I understand that the visuals are what gets the masses to jump on it - especially since that's basically all you have to base your opinion on in the app store. That they went almost 2/3 of the development time before plugging the game

Is there more to the app than a sudoku rehash, a Rush Hour rehash, Sokoban, and a sliding tile game? I mean, those are all reasonably nice puzzles and should be easily worth a $1 download just as is, but that seems like a crazy amount of ac

No, that's the long and short of it. Of course, you can't share multiple apps behind one domain, so if the one dyno isn't keeping you you'll need to scale up and pay for it. OTOH, if you don't need to worry about any extra latency (maybe?)

Polluting the namespace like metawhere does is a significant problem. We use datamapper on our app, and were looking at doing some of our analytics on mongo at one point, but since both mongomapper and datamapper both define 'helper' method

While I'm sure the "content provider" would disagree, in many cases it's perfectly legal to make a copy of their content - the laws in place only prevent redistribution for a certain time period. Personally, I'd be ecstatic if there was som

I would argue, both. Pick up a project you find interesting to drive the directions of your learning, and supplement it with book-learning as you go. For instance, if you wanted to do some game programming for iOS/Android, pick up books tha

I've been perfectly happy in my little corner of the developer landscape (mostly Rails, plus random experiments) with Homebrew. I've had friends of mine complain loudly after ~5 minutes when they find missing "essential" packages, though.

When we're specifically talking about how fast your typical GUI app can render toolbars and such, and the app in question sits idle waiting on user input 99% of the time, then that's a wonderful tradeoff. If you're doing number crunching or
