I've been using GitHub since 08 and I still think it's refreshing to continually run into developers that have recently discovered the distributed (hell, rejuvenated!) approach to collaborative software development. Welcome.

For fun, I dove into this recently. The only strong opinion I have is for Rails projects to ship with Cucumber as means for acceptance testing. Here are a few good Rails projects which satisfy that. * The Rails Dev Directory: http://github

They should have waited till the end of the year to make this call. I bet there are a bunch of users who were waiting till October to buy a phone at the discounted rate. That's 24 months after the original G1 was released, which is when th

I haven't read the remarks, but I think it's possible for people with a lot more experience than I do to make that sort of assessment and be spot on. It helped me . One day, with any luck, I'll be able to look back and make the same remark

Powerpoint isn't the problem. It's a symptom. The real problem is communicating effectively with ideas/pictures. There are two books which have made me better at this: 1. The back of the napkin [ http://www.thebackofthenapkin.com/ ] 2. Slid

I'm certain you would gain an appreciation for this if you knew exactly how tricky hyphenation detection is.

Lovely! I actually did something similar.. Last year, I started looking at algorithms to count syllables. It turns out that hyphenation and syllable detection have a lot in common. Anyway, long story short: one of the approaches I use on Ha

The real magic behind this gem is another one called Parsley, which is an astounding library for screen scraping. http://github.com/fizx/parsley/tree/master They've even built an entire app on top of the library: http://parselets.com/

It is worth noting that the performance of Ruby varies even between the various implementations available for production use. So, if I had to attribute 'slowness', I'd say it's because of the implementation (compiler/interpreter) instead of

Human travel. You know those moving walkways (Trav O lators?) that they have in airports to speed up travelers? I'd place those everywhere. Want to go to the grocery store? Walk there in 5 minutes. Living in LA and need to visit SF for the

Tom, did you know there are extra filters you can use to search Github.com? Try "tlrobinson package:github.com lang:javascript"

I'd (probably) consider building and searching an index of ASTs ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_syntax_tree ). Not only would it allow searching with regexp, but it could allow more sophisticated search queries like "Search all my R

Thanks for compiling that list. I didn't know about SoftLayer. I noticed the list mentions Justin.tv hosts itself. Aren't they built on Amazon EC2 and S3?

To me, easily the most compelling feature is multiple environment management. I am constantly bitten by this, say, whenever I want to run multiple Ruby/Rails apps on the same machine. Experiencing "can't activate foo (= 2.0, runtime), alrea

You can also use Google Apps for your Domain to send emails. I even wrote a Rails plugin for doing just that: http://github.com/openrain/action_mailer_tls There may be an outgoing limit, but I've personally never encountered it.

This is the second post I've read claiming that Perl is better tested than Ruby. Why is this a topic of discussion? Is someone from the Ruby community running around saying otherwise?
