I'm also mostly a Rails dev in my day job but have been exploring Clojure on my own. I've found myself writing out functions in Clojure first before porting them to Ruby. I'm very pleased with the quality of the Ruby code I&#

Exactly. I've seen multiple companies that have their developer ads filled with words like "rockstar" and "ninja" while their other postings (accountants, salespeople, whatever) sound like proper adult jobs. Doesn

It we start naming and shaming the coder for each flaw instead of working on fixing the process that allowed it to sneak through, we'll see a chilling effect on open source software. There's a reason we have tests and code revie

If we order now, will we still have ours shipped with the first batch? Or is it back logged? I'm excited about this. I love eating food but I really hate making it. If this proves adequate I can definitely see myself having this 5-6 da

I've got news for you pal: science has made it possible to conceive without a "male-female sexual partnership" for a while now.

The only reason not to finish college is if the opportunity cost is too high because you have something else going on. You can get by in this field without a degree, of course, but you will always be frustrated trying to get past HR. I have

In short: yes. I actually disagree with the idea that it's easier or better to start simple. As I've gotten more experience, I like simple frameworks better, but as someone starting out, I had no idea what to do with them. You d

I didn't read that as the author actually claiming to have some understanding of what it was like to be assaulted, but rather that he gained an understanding of how people often blame women for their own assaults.

It's hard for people to move away from their kids. In many if not most of these cases, you'll find that that's a major reason why people don't move.

I have mixed feelings about that. On the one hand, shopping in a physical store location is mostly a terrible experience these days and I greatly prefer to shop online. But on the other, these big box stores have long been the providers o

It seems to me that working retail has gotten a lot worse since the recession. I worked retail after high school before deciding to go to college, and then worked the same job on summers home from school. What was interesting was that betwe

I bought it. I don't like the way it looks in iPad, with the column on the right side that's cut off. I also feel like I should be able to swipe to view it, instead of just pressing the arrow at the bottom. But, otherwise, I like

The importance of designing the rescue plan was not simply wishful thinking, but to prevent future disasters. After Columbia, a rescue mission was planned alongside each shuttle launch in case this happened again (it didn't).

How does Umano make its money? Do they charge for the app or play ads? Sell data? I've always felt it questionable ethical territory to take somebody else's work, slap ads on it, and pocket the money. "Aggregators" have

If you really want to help people, find a charity to donate to via Givewell. It won't feel as warm and fuzzy as volunteering, but in most cases that's the best way you can actually help people in need.

Does it need to be a "majority"? There are applications being written now, in Ruby, that are intended to still be maintained 20 years from now. Will the "new hot language" be something other than Ruby in 20 years? Well,
