The way we have it set up in capistrano, git is used as the distribution mechanism. It offers a lot of flexibility in that you can deploy a tag or a revision hash or whatever without having to worry about consistencies between users'

And of course NEVER put your config in version-control ;) I'm not sure I'd make that blanket statement. Version control seems like a great place for configuration. It allows you to centrally manage configuration details and pr

I'd be surprised if Atlassian inserted that phrase out of malice. I've been told by lawyers more than once that "it's necessary to prevent someone from suing you for doing exactly what they asked you to do". (displ

I hooked one up to the intercom/door unlock system at the office. Most electronics with physical pushbuttons can be disassembled and wired in with a relay for control by the Pi. As usual, be very careful if you're disassembling something u

What if you got around it by instead just registering a domain and pointing it to the heroku api's IP? I'm not sure if heroku's api would be ok with the mismatched Host header, but it would be less moving parts.

That reminds me of DonorsChoose, which connects elementary teachers with people looking to donate. It's unfortunate that many states don't properly fund things like school supplies, but it's a great service nonetheless.

You can do the same in just ruby: pie_chart @pixel.hits.group_by{|u| u.referrer }.each_with_object({}) {|(k,v), h| h[k] = v.size }

I find the argument compelling, but why do you suppose so many large companies send templates with lots of images? They have easy access to A/B testing, and I imagine if they saw better results with the text-heavy emails they would all swi

If you license under MIT but restrict who can use the software, it's not really MIT. MIT explicitly states that you may use the software "without restriction". The GPL is even more stringent in that it doesn't allow you to further restrict

Your solution works totally fine, but it also involves using an entire computer to run the thing, which may or may not be overkill depending on whether or not you already have a computer that can be dedicated to it. Personally, I prefer th

This seems like a really great use for raspberry pi. I recently finished a project involving a pi + a relay to activate a door buzzer, written in javascript. It was surprisingly simple and straightforward. Besides turning on lights, the c

Use the tracking pixel and hold the connection open. When the user goes to the next email, the connection will close and you'll have the length of time they viewed it.

I agree with both sentences, but don't see the connection between the two. Are you arguing for how the law currently works, or how you would like it to work? Currently, there is no such thing as a journalism license in the US.

The top-level comment is proposing using journalism as a defense against prosecution, not trying to secure press passes to go into the farms and film. A press pass is not a license. Of the court cases I remember, most used a number of fact

It's really, really easy to see "data leak", see an email address, and assume that this is really bad. On the other hand, if you actually look at what these pages are, they're Checkout pages, not Transaction pages. Coinbase sellers generat

If you had to compromise, what about enabling the buttons on hover? You'd still have people accidentally enabling them, but fewer than if they were auto-enabled.

But it adds operational overhead, as now you need to set up a second hosting provider, manage another environment, etc. An internally-hosted status page isn't very useful when your datacenter goes down. This is the perfect thing to pay som

We've been using errplane for a couple of weeks in our node.js app and it has worked out really well. The node.js agent has a more intuitive API than newrelic's beta agent, and the error reporting works great.

Have you considered releasing VM images? I've thought about it for open source projects that have a bunch of dependencies, but haven't actually tried it. On the other hand, you may end up with people running the app that have no way to main

Thanks for the book recommendation. Is that the one by Iljitsch van Beijnum? Other than the added complexity, can you share any details about the cost? It seems like theoretically some managed hosting providers could offer this assuming t

I'm not a lawyer, but it seems that the consensus here is that LV isn't allowed to assert that they own the rights, and therefore may be perjuring themselves.

No, in a DMCA notice you state under penalty of perjury that you are the rights holder for the content you want removed, not your own content.
