I have the impression that that compass is a bit too sensative. In theory that should be a good thing, but in reality is just results in being less useable because you never know if the direction it's pointing to is the one you want to

iPhone has a computer in it, but it is not a general purpose computer. Why is this concept so hard to get? There are tons of things that have CPUs and billions of lines of code to run them, but they are not personal computers.

Please, tell me more about that routing logic built-in in PHP. How does your HTTP parsing deal with Accept:? Does it populate $_PATCH and $_DELETE too? You are aware, that ERB is not the part of Rails and comes as standard library with Ruby

First, Rails is not intended for toy-app. You can build it but RoR is production ready apps. So the stack you get reflect that. Also, you can drop like half of those gems if you do not need them. And finaly, if you are going to do any non-t

I was intrigued by the name—"ratas" means "wheel" in Lithuanian, but the author appeears to be from Switzerland and neither first nor last names are even remotely Lithuanian. Even more intriguing then…

Wow, this is first time I see someone claiming that chip is inferior to magnetic stripe on card. I don't even remember when I had to use magstripe… But I do remember cashiers swiping cards repeatedly and then putting them into the plas
