The digital download is a license though. They can stipulate that the person with the code bought it with the DVD. Though practically I can’t see how they can enforce it.

I don’t see how Disney can arbitrarily put a word on the box that limits your ability to do something with it. What is they put “not for use as a coaster” and you resell the disc as a coaster? Can they sue you for that?

If I pay taxes on my income earned in USD, then exchange it for Euros. If the Euros had a better exchange rate to dollars later, would I have to declare a capital gain if I exchange back for USD? What if instead of exchanging I just spent t

Didn’t know, can you elaborate on that?

You don’t disclose assets to the IRS, only income. If you disclose your income and pay tax on it then convert it to BTC today you aren’t obliged to disclose it. In theory after you sell it you’d have a capital gain to disclose.

Is this why I can’t sign out of Google on my phone? I never sign into Google and never sign into their apps. After I began using a Google Home I began noticing Google maps is automatically signing me in.

I think IBM actually has something like this for their mainframes right?

I might have missed it but is there a particular advantage Rust has over C in this specific use case? Performance, ease of interoperability, etc. or is it preference for Rust over C?

I immediately thought that from the title. “The little boat flipped over.” https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/552a53c2-894a-4b79-bcf1-e9eadfb...

Rails is still the king of batteries included. There are some nice frameworks for rest services in JavaScript but tend toward microservices and components. The landscape in all the upstart languages lack a batteries included monolith builde

Agree, Rails 3 absorbing merbisms introduced flexibility to the existing conventions making it easy to stray from the opinionated stuff. Rails 3 was still Rails but definitely made it easier to get yourself into trouble. And definitely chan

Yeah I think it certainly helps that I have Rails experience coming back to it and easily picking back up. However learning it at 0.14.3 vs 5.1.4 doesn’t really make a difference. There’s no inherent advantage in the version you started on.

by rubyfan 9y ago
No, I skipped 3 and 4 and didn’t keep up. Jumping back in was easy. The essentials haven’t really changed so jumping in at 0.14.5 or 5.0.1 shouldn’t really matter.

I was an early Rails adopter, somewhere around 0.x and used it every day through 2.3. Somewhere just before 3.0 I stopped using it daily. I recently came back to 5.0 for a few applications and was pleasantly surprised that I was proficient

Great analysis. I would love to see some of this normalized to other variables like income, education, occupation, etc. That way you could get at any bias without any doubt cast by other factors.

He’s pretty honest about that in the article, anyone can do it; he wants them to; and he’s spending his personal time trying to convince others to. The reinvestment is for something better than a juiced up valuation. He’s likely parlaying h

His high salary was $150k. You can still make millions without taking it out in the form of a salary. If he owns the company and the value of his equity increases into the millions, then he’s making millions. It sounded like he was reinvest

Nice, looks well thought out. Yeah the runtime thing is a disadvantage over type systems for sure. It might be possible with a NillablObject to do some kind of sanity checks at Rails initialization time. Also some other safety nets could he

The example from the blog post is a classic error we've all made. There seems to be an obvious opportunity for Rails do something creative about that. I like the String? sugar and believe there is probably some opportunity in Rails to

Looks like a mashup of Ruby, JavaScript and tiny bit of Python.

If you are the CEO you should not take on the task. It’s great to be able to talk the talk but you need to sell your business. Focus on selling. You probably need a great technical partner to help drive your intellectual property developmen

Title should be changed to be less clickbait-y. Perhaps: Some guy’s defective Google Home recorded everything and they had extraordinary customer support and fixed it.

It will work just fine with angular or react. I have seen nothing comparable in the era of JavaScript frameworks.

Yup even super simple sites built with Wix are a huge download. You can’t read the HTML easily either to figure out why it’s so horrible.

I meant recent sales leading up to the sequel’s release. I’m curious if the sequel had people like me revisiting the original.
