   I think this is a bit of an overreaction given that Rails has always been a "batteries included" framework. The fact that Rails allows for socket-like behaviour now is not a tipping point, but simply a nice little feature that may prove use

   And if you want to get really fancy, there's Github Pages -- http://pages.github.com/ . So, you get all of the benefits of the repo approach, but your pages can be all sexy and stylish.

   I like it. A VERY MINOR piece of feedback: the font is ugly as sin. I don't know why, but it kept distracting. It feels... off balance.

   Homebrew doesn't handle software that updates itself. It's an opinionated piece of software. UPDATE: More on this here http://blog.izs.me/post/3295261330/on-npm-and-homebrew

   If you don't like Quicksilver, Alfred is really good too ( http://www.alfredapp.com/ ). Sublime Text 2 is pretty great ( http://www.sublimetext.com/2 ).

    There are a few comments in this post that touch on the flaws of this API. Here's the gist: 1. HTTP methods are improperly used. The documentation states "All API calls should be sent as a GET HTTP request". GET is used to retrieve resource

    Another alternative to Pathogen is Vundle ( https://github.com/gmarik/vundle ). I've been using this one for a while and really enjoy it.

    Though not written in Python, I'm a fan of Jekyll ( https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll ). You write your entries in Markdown, it converts them to HTML, sets up links and embedded content, and then publishes them to your server via Git to be

    I really wish the author didn't use such an inciteful title for his section on meetings. The title offers another catch phrase to avoid meetings. I'd much rather have seen Zach focus more on his actual point: holding short, focused, and tin

    I'm using this on a project right now and am finding a lot of successes derived from its use. We tried to build our JSON in the model using the traditional #to_json/#as_json approach in Rails, but found this was falling on its face when our

    I was really hoping for a bit more meat in this article. Perhaps some discussion on their caching strategy, or how they're building their JSON (i.e. traditional model-based #to_json approach, or something along the lines of Rabl).

    The key differentiating factor is that the iCloud heralds an era wherein all of your data is decentralized, all of the time, and that this is the default for all users, on all Apple devices, all of the time.

    I'm actually a little confused by this. Isn't one of the major benefits of Scala, Clojure, JRuby, et al, that it is hosted on the JVM?

    I want to believe that serious devs, OSS or otherwise, would be thinking about something along the lines of semantic versioning ( http://semver.org/ ) as they bump version numbers. Additionally, marketing likes to see the major number chang

    I've done this on a project I worked on recently, so I'll take a moment to explain why I think this is a valid, and safer strategy than the alternative. In said project we had a number of modifications to libraries to support some additiona
