From a performance point of view: test and measure! Find the worst bottleneck, and reduce it. Rinse and repeat. NewRelic is a great tool to help you do this. Common performance problems to look out for in Rails are: * Missing database index

As a comparison, I'd like to know the breakdown of hours of actual work for those who go in to the office every day.

I couldn't agree more. The cost (time, money, etc) of setting up their own website and processing their own transactions is obviously prohibitive, as most nonprofits don't accept online donations. Lots of nonprofits also know exactly what p

Powerful tools require a good understanding of them to get the most out of them. The best powerful tools don't require an in-depth understanding of them to get started (think git, rails or Linux). But mastering them over time will make yo

I'm really excited by the new things that are being tried for desktop OSes. They really haven't changed much since I started using computers. I wonder how long it will take for touch become mainstream in the laptop market.

Unless you're a great writer, keep things short and snappy. It's really hard to hold a reader's attention.

Thanks for the info - I was always under the impression SQLite was hella slow. You learn something new every day!

In my experience, online ads don't work that well for small professional services businesses. As always, YMMV. The best leads are always referrals. After finishing a job, make sure your client knows that you're looking for more work. If you

That's the point of my post. There are subtle differences between SQLite and MySQL/Postgres. You should use the same database in dev, test and production.

by nfm 15y ago
Thanks for your thoughts. I'd argue that SQLite isn't appropriate for production because of its slow speed and highly granular concurrency[1]. I'm all for keeping SQLite as the default database for development - it lowers the barrier for en

You could transpose the word in some way. So maybe move each letter two keys to the right - 'p' becomes ']', 'a' is 'd' and so on. They you end up with ']di]dl' instead of 'paypal', which is a bit more obscure. It might not work so well if

Some good thoughts here. Perhaps it would be better to have a more obscure suffix for Tier 1 passwords. Otherwise, if a password is compromised, a motivated attacker wouldn't have much trouble guessing your other Tier 1 passwords. "wheatgra
