I was wondering about the legal ramifications of living in an RV. I know that San Francisco doesn't allow it and occasionally cracks down on it, primarily because we have such a large homeless population that often camp in RVs. I suspect th

The last small app I wrote in Rails, http://glunote.com , I switched from the standard Prototype/Scriptaculous libraries to JQuery, just to give it a spin. Took about 5 minutes to install the JQuery plugin (JRails) and tweek a few things t

When I was learning Ruby an exercise I'd put myself through was to solve a problem as best I could - that might have involved using a while loop for example. Then I'd iterate over the problem, Rubyifying it as much as I could. Sometimes I'd

As a Ruby programmer I just can't live without Rubular. It's saved my ass countless times.

Sorry, this isn't really good feedback, but I think others have covered most of the points. I loved some of the match ups, like the one between The Professional and The Littlest Mermaid. I couldn't decide.

A situation I've run into occasionally is that I don't do it right the first time, either I don't ask the right questions first time (something you often don't know until you've asked them) or I ask the wrong audience. I did it here on HN a

Could you take this idea and use it to boost perceptions of a skill that you're not good at by introducing yourself with some other, completely unrelated skill that you are good at. Say for example I want to get a job programming Erlang. No

I used to buy all of them but these days I usually go .com, .net and .org. I'll also do any spellings that I think are useful. For example, I have a Twitter app that uses a bot under the username glu. I was originally going to call the app

You're not alone, major bummer this morning :( Screw it, I'm going to start my own Startup School... with hookers and blackjack! Actually forget the Startup School.

Actually I've done this with a number of sites before and that scenario rarely happens. Non technical people almost never delete their cookies (at least from what I've seen). The way I've tackled it before is let them do X first (select the

The ability to pick your celebrities once you register was not obvious and something that I thought the site needed. I'd make sure this was front and center as an incentive to register. Having said that, why make people register to select t

I didn't mind the layout as much as some people here, but I think that having a list version wouldn't be bad. Would it be possible to allow the user to choose? As for the idea - great! I already found a few points of interest and that's jus

Initially I wasn't concerned about this because it was only me and I thought about not opening it up because of this limit, but I also thought that it'd be solvable, somehow. We could make a case for an exception, but that doesn't guarantee

I played around with that for a while, but there are some costs associated with SMS and I'm funding this completely out of pocket at the moment, and probably will be for the foreseeable future. I feel that since Twitter is very accessible o

You're right, I'll change the language to reflect this. Thanks for the feedback.

Actually I've been thinking about something like this but didn't want to implement it if no one wanted it - now that I know someone would think it's useful I'll do it. One question though - how would you prefer to get notified? Would retwee
