The author makes mention of using a UI to connect to their db. If i was in a position over there i can see myself writing a script to clear out the tables i wanted. This reduces errors, but not the risk.

Exactly what you said. Rigor is truly the right word to use here. Cancelling your db backups is basically asking for a disaster. I'm not sure i have ever been at job that didnt require a db backup for some reason at some time.

This is only sad for 3 reasons: 1) Somebody spent the time, effort and likely funding to do an aggregate study of a craigslist Missed Encounters board. 2) This foolishly unrepresentative sample of the american populace is being referred to

I feel like this would be a shortsighted move. It is my experience that coding takes a certain manner of thinking. This thought process (structured, boolean and logical [formal logic]) does not come naturally to many (most?) people. In high

How about when you want the majority of your attributes whitelisted? I understand the urge to whitelist, but lets be reasonable here. If i have a table with 20 columns, 19 of which i want accessible (lets exclude a private UK). I also expec

My old company used HAML exclusively for all of our RoR view code. In most general cases it makes the coding faster. THere are of course some wonky edge cases in HAML vs code style best practices. For instance: try making an html element wi

Anything that is self-described as an "abstraction markup language" and must be compiled into the language it abstracts is really a pre-processor. Regardless of intended use cases, i cant think of a better definition.

i would guess floor real estate constraints. Why do in 2 racks what you can do cost effectively in 1?

Appendix I & II are frighting in their casual use of major headings. Looks an awful lot like the fabled "tier-ed internet". Heck, one of the diagrams even categorizes IP traffic in 4 levels: Gold, Silver, Bronze, P2P. I'm not an owner o

Awesome article. I would argue this goes for practices as well. Automated Testing vs TDD and the like.

The comments on this article border on shameful. Props to crocodoc for building this. The demo is really good, and there is a lot of impressive attention to detail: try pulling a page up while a page is already flipped. Screw the misplaced

This is a very interesting read. As someone who has been part of a flipped raft in a class 4 rapid, I had similar contemplations. Regardless of the actual danger I was in, the experience is eye opening, memorable, and puts life into harsh p

I didn't realize you could have more than 1 seed round of investments... I thought a seed round, by definition, was the initial round, and rounds after that were label differently. Was this simply a continuation of sendhub's initial funding

Nifty and all, but there is a lot to be said for picking the right tool for a job. Unfortunately, ~600 lines of css seems a bit excessive to achieve this effect.

I had the same, but dismissing the error seemed to let it work just fine. Hard to see given the minimal contrast between the "X" and the modal header
