While Rhodes is now under the MIT license, I don't think this includes the RhoSync server, which runs ( http://rhomobile.com/products/rhosync/ ) $10,000 for 100 users. I'd love to hear from someone more in the know to understand whether a R

I honestly can't imagine why folks continue to use MySQL over PostreSQL. All technical benefits of PostgreSQL aside, I can't help but wonder if it really comes down to something silly, like MySQL being much easier to pronounce properly. For

Agreed. Although I don't personally consume anything but beer and the occasional scotch, I've always viewed drugs, and psychedelics in particular, as mechanisms used to hack the most interesting computer...our brain.

That'd be fine, provided I could port my existing number to their service, get a replacement number from my provider, and then buy a handset that would make calls from my number appear as though they come from the ported number (as you can

I wish one of these companies would solve the problem of using these services on your home phone. I have service from Time Warner, but can't forward to Google Voice or Twilio because TW doesn't offer conditional call forwarding. So instead

If you look at the results in the link I posted, you'll see that Play ends up being 6 times the speed of Rails. I know about JRuby and have used it much, but that sort of speed improvement can't be ignored, especially considering how close

Play is indeed awesome...and extremely fast when compared to Rails. See discussion here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1380732

Agreed. I've heard (yet have no evidence) that Lovd was a particularly bad example of Rails code. I haven't reviewed it personally though, so ymmv.

LBP is the most creative game I've seen yet on the PS3 (or any platform so far). They give you a seemingly endless set of tools with which to create new levels, and I've found that the user-created levels are where we spend most of our time

Personally, I've found it's very expressive and easy to follow, although I'm using Java play. And having reliable autocomplete and ctrl+click navigation is something I really missed in Rails, but have in Play.

You're absolutely correct. Sorry. Here it is, updated properly: Test Pong: | Rails Webrick | Rails Mongrel | Rails Thin | Rails JRuby (glassfish) | Snap | Play! | | 153.9 | 90.7 | 33.3

It supports Scala well, but the API (on the Scala side) is a bit of a moving target. However, I really encourage all of you to give the Java side of play a shot. It's really unlike any Java framework I've ever worked with, and I've been doi

I did my own testing, but I didn't publish them because I left Haskell completely unoptimized and didn't really have the time to try to optimize it. I also added play ( http://www.playframework.org ) into the mix, because I admire the frame

If you want a java-based framework coupled with Rails' productivity, go through the play framework's screencast and documentation ( http://www.playframework.org/documentation/1.0.2.1/home ). It's the only java framework I've found that exci

It worked in the past, but at some point stopped. I made use of it quite often, but only noticed last week it had stopped. I uninstalled/reinstalled, but no dice. Appears a few others are having it as well ( http://code.google.com/p/chromiu

Yet for me, the developer console still won't show Ajax requests for inspection. This is on 64-bit Ubuntu Lucid. Anyone else have this problem?

Um...shouldn't it also be: script/server -e production Running in development mode severely hampers Rails' performance.

Agreed...I'm surprised Rails is SOOOO far behind everyone else.

How is Python deliberately and comically crippled? I'm honestly curious.

Look like...Windows? Really? Have you even looked at a screenshot ? Ubuntu looks nothing like Windows. If they're mimicking anything, it's OS X.

Because of open classes and code generation in general, it's very difficult to track down to the exact line of code where a feature is introduced, or changed. Add to this that code tends to be decorated in a very non-traditional way; it is

In general, I agree with you. However, Rails' influence on other platforms has yielded some great projects. My current favorite is play ( http://www.playframework.org ). It's almost a one-to-one feature port of Rails to Java, but actually m

The challenge with getting those old gems up to snuff is the challenge with Ruby itself. Unless you have a great set of test cases, refactoring is a REALLY BIG PAIN...often with a cost close to 10-20% of original development in my experienc

How's your experience with vserver? I use openvz. It's ok...the technology works, but the docs are less than desirable. I'd switch to vserver if I could maintain the same experience.

That's interesting, but it perplexes me as well. I have an iPad/Wifi, and I believe that means it has no GPS. However, Google Maps is able to pinpoint my location almost perfectly, despite the closest mapped street view being more than a mi

Bah...there are many things you "should" learn while not being necessarily motivated to do so. By persevering and mastering them, you'll often reap great rewards. We shy away from challenging, intimidating tasks on a psychological level by
