I'm pretty sure ActiveJob is just a standardized interface to delayed job, resque, sidekiq etc. If you ever wanted to upgrade form delayed job, this could come in handy for you.

I love thinking up intricate software design patterns as much as the next guy. They'll cater not only to the current requirements for my project, but also to all possible future eventualities. It'll allow me to, by simply changing

I recently played this game at an indie games festival in Berlin. I'm embarrassed to admit, I didn't realize that the time only moves when I move. It was difficult, but I still managed to beat all levels. I'm curious to see w

OT question: What's the editor you use in your intro video? Looks like it's running inside tmux AND has a cool Go mode with auto complete?

I like this approach a lot. If this works in IE, I'm basically sold. I do have a few questions that went unanswered, though: - What's the performance impact, both in terms of initial page load and in terms of tracking stuff. - How

One afternoon at Ikea and 40 bucks will buy you a nice standing desk. I know it's become a cliche, but if you really do sit 80 hours a week, it may be worth the initial inconvenience. If you're interested I'll send you links

Essentially allowing all devs to use the source code and hosting it on github is brilliant. I imagine bug fixes and other improvements will be shared much more quickly and openly amongst developers. I'm not even sure if this happened a

At that point, I wonder what the benefit of using rails is? Rails shines most when you do things as intended. Even though I wouldn't have designed rails the way it is (remote forms and .js.erb views anyone?), it works really well for a

If you care about typesetting and legibility, you sometimes really do need  . It prevents the browser from inserting a line break between two words that belong together, like February 26th or Louis XIV. IIRC nbsp

I agree with you that citizenship should not protect you from the consequences of your actions. Even so, I don't understand how a targeted drone strike in Yemen is an acceptable choice for the USG, regardless of who is killed. Would it

Wait a minute, didn't we meet at Punspace a few months ago? Hope all is well and glad you're okay. Thanks for writing this post! I finally took a moment to enable FileVault :) Best of luck on your travels!

Friendly locals are usually able to get a sim card for you without any delay. I got my first one from a rickshaw driver (I actually bought his active sim card and phone) for a $10 more than it would have cost. A guesthouse owner did the sam

something is {a: 1, b: 2}: called something base {:a=>1, :b=>2} something is now nil: nil In the end something is nil (instead of {a:1, b:2}) for me on ruby 1.9.3p194 and 2.0.0-p247. Does anyone know why this happens?

In Germany, the NFL website doesn't allow you to watch all games for free. You have to purchase the NFL game pass, which is around $200 per season IIRC (there's multiple packages), which is the same you'd pay in the US.

You can just look at the source (Ctrl+Alt+U in Chrome). It's an HTML document with a single script tag in it.

True. But this isn't useful unless you know which code C to do the test on (in the OP's original example C would be the code of the login program). The only way to tell if a compiler will put a backdoor into certain programs is to

Yes, you can charge people without the address field. You still need the CVV code for fraud protection. I read somewhere that credit card companies charge lower rates if the address is provided as well. If that's the case, it seems lik

All else being equal, I'd still rather hire the person that doesn't panic. I think it's entirely fair to subject a potential hire, especially for an important position, to a certain amount of stress. Most people I know, mysel

There is no way that YC now considers 10% weekly revenue growth low. That's 142x a year. I'm pretty sure any investor would be happy with that kind of traction, especially if the company has their unit economics figured out, like
