I looked at a while ago, the thin requirement is arbitrary and you can use unicorn from a fork iirc. In the end - it just seemed a little too painful to get working with, but is something I am interested in playing with again now that I&#x2

Having used their Linux offerings in 2012 - the only thing that I can say is whilst Azure does provide good performance for the price. You lose out on stability, sanity and on choice. I know the cloud is supposed to be a place where the ser

In no particular order: 1. Transactions are not implemented in most of the "eccentric" solutions 2. SQL solutions are more battle tested. 3. The relational model fits most solutions quite well Where the relational model doesn't fit or trans

This is something you should be able to do with Arel (with join_sources) or through the use of to_sql as a note - you shouldn't use includes and joins, includes hammers joins. Simplest tidy up though is a scope for the join, something like

Except - if you look at the linked repo, there is no mention of bcrypt at all - https://github.com/jasonroelofs/raidit/blob/master/Gemfile.l... Infact, the whole persistence mechanism is rather mystifying - an in memory store? What if I a

what kind of crazy country do you come from where < 60% literacy rate is acceptable? Also, Urdu is the national language of Pakistan - so I would expect everyone to be able to write their name in that language.

This looks pretty good - it's always painful installing packages from source (RVM included in that) mainly as a time + another thing I have to maintain thing. I'm not that familiar with Debian package management but would it be much work to

The one example that I've found of a good site that does really good average ratings is steepster, it picks teas that you have previously rated and indicates the rating you gave to them. This way the users rating is much better and will giv

So you don't do the formatting by hand, you configure your editor of choice to do the work for you, assuming it is smart enough. If you have a group of people that use the same editor they can share this information through a developer wiki

I fail to see a better alternative unfortunately. The only way that you can stop this is by having multiple maintainers for a project so that projects don't just die if the main maintainer is hit by a bus. And yes, this crappy, albeit well

You can most certainly use matviews http://tech.jonathangardner.net/wiki/PostgreSQL/Materialized... it's not part of pg - but, it is something that you can write yourself due to the awesomeness of plpgsql.

For a CEO, it's impressive how much in touch he is with MongoDB, its functionality and what it is capable of. You should see him talk, he really knows what he is on about.
