When you select your "timezone" in a web application, you usually get a list of offsets instead. If you live in a town which falls in an offset but the timezone isn't consistent, then your time will not be correct at certain

Devney mentions that she is focusing only on IANA timezones. See a list here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones America/Detroit is a valid IANA timezone. Eastern is not. Edit: Etzos has p

I can take my best shot here. This is how I would see it at least: These politicians probably know nothing about the software they are receiving. 300k for a static site? Good deal! By making the sites open source, it allows groups that woul

Their end code must now be open source. Taxpayers can review the code they produce and raise a stink.

Winspy++ offered the ability to look at the content of password fields in native applications IIRC. It's been a few years since I've done anything on Windows.

Is message passing that you're referring to different than the Ruby concept of messages? Objects respond to messages in Ruby, and it is encouraged to think of it that way rather than calling functions.

Serious question, how is business from ATL -> Vienna almost 5k? I don't understand this at all, especially given the fact that Atlanta is closer to Vienna. In general, I'm always perplexed at the costs of flights, so was surpri

I'm not an expert in this field, but we recently did a security audit. The auditors get access to the code in order to evaluate it for vulnerabilities. In our ruby application, they also check gems that we are using (through open sourc

Do you ever worry that, in the case of failure or some other event, your revocation list could be lost and allow old hacked sessions to be used? Is there a way around this? I like the idea of a revocation list, but this seems to be a pretty

I think the URL is not right. I noticed the same thing.

Can confirm. I work in Atlanta and most people I know don't deal with traffic. Maybe a little but not crazy. There are lots of places to live on public transit and lots of companies hiring on those lines.

The word that comes to mind here is amazing. A shift to electric vehicles would surely have a measurable impact on vehicular death. I've seen several of these wrecked Teslas and it seems death always escapes the equation, at least in t

Best example I can think of is going out to eat with 10 and picking up the bill to expense, you will probably want to include that on expense due to amount. Same thing for uber with multiple co workers. That would warrant a non negligible t

I mused on similar things after getting a very small project shipped. It is based on my experience with Node, Ruby, and Node as of 4 years ago (when I first learned it). https://medium.com/@yoooodaaaa/reflections-on-n

At the risk of looking simpleton, I tend to get sucked into a story and then I don't focus on the exact writing style. Thus, I found this interesting. The exception is horribly bad grammar and misspellings. I can handle one or two inst

My argument (currently) is that money can buy a housing location next to your office. Completely removing a commute is a pretty big happiness booster.

The interesting thing that stood out to me is seeing a product built by Twilio (even if it is open source and probably needs work to be fully business ready). I remember seeing before that Twilio explicitly won't build business product

All of my coworkers have endorsed me for Wordpress for this same reason (to mess with me and potentially get Wordpress recruiter spam)

A lot of these links are broken. For example, http://www.getaccept.com/%E2%80%9C Luckily, it's easy to parse this out but it's a bit jarring.

Less dependencies is definitely better, but that doesn't mean "write the code because we can't install it via npm. A developer could come along, find this library, and hard-copy it into their source repo. The tested source co

is there any data to back up most voters not being exposed to the media agenda? It seems a bit like "not I not anyone" when i might speculate "not I but everyone"

Yes, but it seems that everyone thinks that this is the "Parse Server" being released. It's not, it's just an open source compatible API. It's important because a lot of the powerful features of Parse aren't in

by sb8244 11y ago
One thing that I haven't noticed in the comments is that the released server is parse API compatible . It is not the parse server, and so you aren't guaranteed the same things you are guaranteed from the real parse service.

Rails is an awesome framework to develop in. For me, however, it is less about Rails and more about the community. Take for instance the popular Ruby job processing system, Sidekiq. It integrates very easily into Rails and makes that whole

How does this translate to SaaS where you might have paying customers on the line if you fail? Is runway supposed to be longer, or does it just not matter to them if it goes belly up?

I've noticed better learning in industry vs class. My guess is because of a smaller set of things to learn (best practices of employer) and 8-10 hours a day of repetition

Good point. Too good to be true referring to only dealing with the App Store once.
