   I'm moving on until I see a link to some open-source code. With a test suite.

   Prohibition also created a significant amount of violence... which has all but mysteriously disappeared. Eliminate the illegality and you eliminate the incentive for "hits" to prevent jail time or extortion.

   If drugs were legal, there would be no need to kill anyone for fear of being revealed or extorted. Prohibition also created a significant amount of violence... which has all but mysteriously disappeared. I wonder why. Did people magically b

   More consenting adults being arrested for consenting. More taxpayer dollars being spent on imprisonment and enforcement than less expensive treatment, not to mention the opportunity cost of lost profits from taxation. When are we going to r

   It seems to me that the conversation out there is looking more and more like the nerds (tech folks) vs. the jocks (FBI) all over again. When will you learn that the nerds win in the end, jocks? :)

   Never heard of this game. Probably because I was playing Spectre VR on a Mac ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectre_(video_game) ) around that time, which this is a total unabashed knockoff of. Can't Microsoft NOT c

   I looked at the source and saw that you basically built a way to declare a method which asserts a contract at runtime. I like the idea of an object or collection of objects having a generic interface that can be mapped to all sorts of thing

    Obvious looks great. Can't wait to try it on a project actually. Do you know anyone who's used it out in the wild to build cool stuff?

    Also of note: the unknown Keith Haring drawings in some kind of color version of MacPaint (I want to say it was probably PixelPaint as I'm pretty sure MacPaint was only monochrome...) https://twitter.com/mennerich/

    Thanks. I knew it was a pretty big risk at the time but I spent about 2 weeks obsessed with it and doing my homework. Pored over the source code, forums, docs, concepts etc. (it probably helped that I'm a programmer). By the time I was

    I think this was only a poor example because the method under test was a "director" style method (not sure what the name of it would actually be) that simply forwards a bunch of messages/commands to other objects and doesn&#x

    Bought 2 FPGA miner rigs from BFL. One of their first customers to take that risk. Cost about 30 grand. Liquidated 2 of my 6 underperforming retirement funds to pay for it as I was unemployed at the time (yes I am a little crazy and obvious

    I really think all languages should have "assert" and "assert_equal" methods right out of the box, built-in. Not that they're not hard to write yourself of course.

    If you write your tests first (TDD), your "complex business object setup" (aka state setup) invariably gets simpler. The more complex your code, the more coupling there is, the more sources of bugs there are potentially... and the

    How about method(:methodname) returning the actual method object instead of a newly instantiated wrapper class containing the method metadata?

    Autoload is fundamentally broken because it makes your app state nondeterministic by making state loading and logic interdependent. I work on a large Ruby software project and we've had to move away from any autoload except for very sp
