Apparently a more informative name for a good idea would be bad, because IT males can be prone to persecution complexes over simple questions. Hell, we IT folks are defensive enough when questioned about bugs that we are responsible for, mu

So, we have enough issues with improving women's place in STE. It's not like we need to invent new ways to keep technology male. I've helped different women with less experience in commandline stuff and linux/unix in gen

Wow, House Democrats might do something useful? Or put up a fight for something, even if it's President Obama's Republican nonsense? Wake me up, I must be dreaming.

If this product isn't a joke, then yeah. I don't see how it's not. Is "hi mom/dad" being disrupted by innovative technology?

No kidding. Sorry Nest, but programmable based-on-your-schedule thermostats have been around for a long time. Can't do it with your smartphone, but it's really not hard to use the settings. Coffee? Buy beans when you're runni

That's not what the parent comment is saying. I share her/his view that this is pretty lame, and I don't mind being dismissive about it. Adding more dongles to a problem doesn't fix it. Are the people who would be best s

Maybe you should do that research yourself before you spout off about how marijuana legalization in Colorado will drastically affect the racial ratios of imprisoned inmates here.

Are you for real? The world values the lyrics/songs, and are searching for them. There is a system in place to compensate artists, and "OMG DISRUPTION PIGGYBACK" is getting really tired. Commenting on established artworks wit

Thanks for the work, looks exciting! In addition to taking the pressure off of the rails team/community a bit, now you don't have to postpone til the next great feature can be included. I'm sure that devs knowing that what is

If a project owner updates prod to a new beta of a point release right during the holiday season, that's entirely their fault, not the rails team who delivered something fun for people to mess around with.

I can't speak to the exact legal background, but this article explains the process well: http://dui.drivinglaws.org/resources/dui-refusal-blood-breat... From what I've heard in any other state I've lived

You're right, if we could do it properly. The sad thing is that we're not starting from a first principle that animal welfare is even something to care about. Ignoring the fact that they're all slaughtered, these animals live

A hastily thrown together blog post really doesn't count as a scoop. As much as the author is patting his back over this story that the ESTABLISHMENT TECH PRESS doesn't want you to know.

how is this better "tech press"? only one intrepid reporter was brave enough to create a barely 6 paragraph article long on opinion but short on facts. yes, everyone who didn't throw up a blog post within an hour must believe

Pretty much. Once you get past having kids, eating animals, driving cars, or even riding a bike 24/7 you're pretty much using more energy than some bitcoin miner.

It's worth a shot if they fit your use case. Once you get past the ninja-speak of choosing size and database, it's really simple. For rake/rails apps at least, you just run `heroku run 'command'` and you're don

It's hard work to determine the answer. The author seems to think it's an obvious life lesson. So it's easy for him to understand, and probably enjoyable to write. Maybe boring to keep clicking on the 'bold html' bu

Yeah, at the start of the article I was already in disagreement after the equating of "grinding it out", "boring work", and "working hard". Sounds a little too self-justifying. I'm in my 30s but quit the s

Unfortunately the US gov could not care less. I'd be inclined to say "well if you left, then fine", but with the dual taxation and the inability of Congress to pay their bills (it is not just Democrat money, by a long shot)..
