This article is, quite simply, false. DSLR cameras have much superior sensors to consumer end cameras, including smart phones. The sensor makes an enormous difference in the photo; much moreso than the lens. Heck, I would be a 5D Mk III for

It's not that it "doesn't belong in Thing", but rather, it can be performed by another entity. These are the same fundamental "responsibility" questions we struggle with in designing OO systems every day. When you have two or more entities

There are certain ... linguistic... reasons why Base appears in class names. It's important to understand the subtlety. In certain languages, especially those with packages or namespaces, you'll likely have a namespace Foo::Bar::Widgets whe

Here let me help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex-positive_movement -- "sex-positive" is a term describing a movement meant to embrace rather than repress sexuality. The play on words of "sex-negative" refers to the opposite of sex-posit

My only real concern with this essay is that the OP bothered to refactor out the duplication, but didn't bother to refactor his internal refactoring when it got too complicated, instead claiming: "look, now it got messy", threw up his arms,

This timeline of events is inaccurate. _why's name was called out on a mailing list prior to the Slate article publication-- and prior to his vanishing. Please don't rewrite history in favor by pretending "he grew tired of the persona". He

Open an issue for IAM roles in the GitHub issue tracker ( http://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js/issues ). It seems like we want this, so opening an issue will give us all a better way to track the feature.

Method swizzling and refinements are basically the same thing. The real difference isn't in the features, it's in the fact that Ruby is a dynamic language, and Obj-C is only dynamically typed . You can swizzle all you want in a statically

Nobody is slinging mud for taking the site down temporarily. At least, without knowing the details of the attack, I don't think anyone is suggesting that there should have been zero downtime. The mud is being slung by those who don't appr

"You mess with my customers"? So, pastie.org was asking for it by hosting a free-form data pasting site? Again, this is you acting like pastie.org is the one at fault and is responsible for a bunch of idiots deciding to saturate the line. I

The issue isn't unplugging, I don't think anybody here thinks that it is unreasonable if they were to do this. The issue is that they kept the site unplugged for good because a single DDoS attack. My analysis based on the official response

> So assuming that pirate copy = a lost sale is a ridiculous argument. This seems like a ridiculous counter-argument to me. You are basically trying to say that because a pirated copy is not exactly equal to one lost sale, then it

The unfortunate reality about writing your own new Bundler is that you'll inevitably end up rewriting Bundler. Isolate is basically just a mini-Bundler with a different (arguably simpler) storage location, but the storage location is really

Is autorequire even a real problem? You can quite easily put your gems in a separate group if you want to manually require them. Installing is another issue, that is opt-out, but I don't see the install process as the real bottleneck.

Yea, why hate on people who take advantage of and mislead uninformed newcomers to the Rails community by selling them existing free software that is trivial to set up, all the while passing it off as their own? Maybe because some people bel

The only thing wrong with C-11 as it stands currently are the digital lock provisions. Everything else in the bill is rather liberal, and, frankly, some of the provisions are outright good for Canadians (limits on fines, ISP liability exe

There are two data sets, one from newrelic and one from gemstats.org. So, in short, no, it's not. It is, however, biased to the Rails community and web-apps in general, but this was mentioned. If you know a way to get a sampling of non-Rail

First off, they are asking for your Gemfile , not your .gem. There is a big difference here. There is no source code in a Gemfile. Secondly, they clearly state why this is an indication of popularity-- they are getting real world usage sta

Pre-processed here likely means what you think it means. DRY is not really a concept meant to be applied to method definitions (IMO), but rather method bodies-- of course there are many ways to abuse the interpretation of DRY as well. As fa

Well, you're right about that distinction-- but from your comment "only on Tuesdays" I understood you were talking about behaviour modification some time after "load time". Also keep in mind the first paper cited in the article (profile-gui

One of the points in the article is that this kind of behaviour modification is not done that often. Yea, it happens... but not as much as you'd think.
