Your comment and the one higher in this chain makes it sound like a hard problem when it's only a problem for the United States and no other (1st world) country. I don't really understand how that's possible.

I just want to caveat this as it is not a Ruby construct, it's part of Ruby web servers. Because they are long-living Ruby processes they are only loading files once (I suppose it's similar to compiling). This means it runs all gl

I had to implement something similar to this a few years ago. I scoured the ToS to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong by removing the GUI. IIRC it was totally fine as long as you still link to the youtube video. As for ads -- I do

It's not really 112 pages. It looks like it's struck-through until the end of page 65. And it's in 16pt font. The toughest part is getting through the legalese.

That "Track Downloads" feature seems highly unethical.

That's interesting. Not sure I agree -- being into computers as a kid is what got me into programming. But there's probably more than one way to do it.

Definitely agree with you. as much as I hate inheritance... never using it seems like a big leap.

Agreed. And more importantly, (2) is waaaaaay easier to fix than the problem you outlined in your preamble.

I wish I could read the article but it got the hug of death, so I'm basing this on your comment: I agree with you -- that's why I think clean code is less important than clear boundaries. All that messy code for matrix multiplicat

I've read about the military technique the article outlines before, and it didn't work for me at all. On the other hand, letting my mind come up with some crazy dream has worked wonders for getting me to sleep -- so, it's val

It's pretty easy to hit 4 cups. Large cups of coffee are 20 fl oz which are ~570ml. So 2 larges in one day, which I have from time to time, will get you there. I can't really explain why I hated it with complete accuracy -- I thin

Counter-point: I once quit coffee altogether, weening myself off with tea at first. After about 3 months of total caffeine "sobriety" I hated it. I found I enjoyed myself more and was more productive with some caffeine rather than

I feel like you're building a strawman of people who would take this study as proof that nature being more effective than nurture. No one commented on such an argument here or within the article. The only allusion the article makes to

Are you sure this isn't purely a perceived decline? Microsoft's stock is the highest it's ever been and they made a profit of $52B in their last fiscal year.

This comment is kind of ironic, isn't it? OP asked whether he has to use a framework (albeit a seemingly-complicated one) and you suggest another framework for him to use. Not saying you're wrong, or anything. I just found it kind
