I'd absolutely love to see ruby in Light Table, how are plans looking for this? If there was a kickstarter for adding ruby I'd pony up in a flash. I realise manpower is probably going to be the main issue though...

Yeah, they don't look great with a ragged right edge. With justified text the structure would be far clearer.

I've tried a couple of these but I always find I have too many special case layouts for them to be useful. What I really want is something with a grid like divvy where I can then adjust the size and position of a window on the grid using ke

The rails delegate helper really helps with this, just declare which methods you want forward, optionally with a prefix. Sometimes a different name is more descriptive but this covers a large portion of the cases. class Foo < Acti

The open-closed principle involves creating classes that _never_ change in the future. If you want to extend their behaviour you should subclass them. This makes some sense in a codebase with no tests, the risk of change becomes too high. B

I work remotely but also have space in a shared office about 10 minutes walk from my house. There's some great benefits to this setup, if I want some social contact I head down to the office and if I want to really focus for the day I can s

I've been exploring different logging options recently, papertrail, loggly, logevents and now splunk. Papertrail was definitely winning for simplicity but I felt the first three really fell short when trying to filter the returned informati

Easily fixed though, just disable javascript for nytimes.com.

It strikes me that excel appeals to people for exactly the same reasons that lighttable appeals to developers. You put numbers and equations in and instantly see the results. If you need to do something complicated you can build it up, one

This looks like an interesting project, I'll be checking it out for sure. I realise it's early days but I want to encourage you to take a look at the excellent docs that sinatra provides in http://www.sinatrarb.com/intro . One of the recur

One of the great things about a fleet like this would be that you could change your car depending on where you were going and what you were doing. For example you take a 1-seater to get around a city but if you go a longer drive you take a

There really isn't much difference between using a bootstrapper class or a spring xml file, they're still both configuration files and should be equally convenient to maintain. One of the advantages spring gives you in your scenario is mult

Seems like they could offer both. If they watch the traffic they could approve the most popular games but still allow people to use games immediately if they want to.

I mean, if the content is cached in a CDN the bandwidth is going to be negligible.

Hmm, at the default zoom level when the page loads the flyouts from either side partially cover the page. What I was looking for was a zoom option in the View menu that zoomed the page to fit exactly between the two flyouts when they're ope

Having just seen the subtlepatterns bookmarklet it would be awesome if you had a subtlepatterns available in your background picker.

Zoom to fit would be very much appreciated on my 15inch laptop screen.

That's pretty sweet. Being able to give it a css selector though, now that would rock!

Cue swapping of personal email addresses... Most people can't be available on their phone all the time, meetings etc. A large part of email's popularity is that you can communicate with people without having to both be available at the same

In languages that don't interpret indentation what is the advantage of using spaces? If you use tabs everyone can choose their preferred level of indentation. If you use spaces what's the advantage?

After a snowboarding accident I was left with a knee that I couldn't run on. I saw physios for 2 years and saw no improvement. 2 months of osteopathy(twice a week) and yoga(3 classes + 20 minutes at home on the other days per week) and I wa

Hey, just been playing with it, looks very interesting. This looks like a good start, I think there's a long way to go with it but it's definitely headed in the right direction. Here's some feedback: 1) Maybe start with the design page, I w

I think the feature set that would be relevant to a designer is pretty stable. Things like new selectors/elements are pretty irrelevant to a designer, they just make it easier to code up a design.

I do like balsamiq, it's a great tool for roughing out a design, but I don't see how it addresses any of the points I made. Dynamic layout - as far as I can tell balsamiq uses an entirely static layout, unless I'm missing something. Viewpor

We need new design tools... Designers currently choose between photoshop and illustrator. Neither was created for the job of web design and it shows. Yes, I know you could mock it up in html/css but let's be honest, that is not a great medi

There's been a lot of rails bugs coming up lately, why are so many being found at this particular point in time? Who's finding them and what's spurred their interest?
