To chime in from the employers perspective, we've found it hard to find full-stack web developers in NYC with more than a years' experience in a dynamic language (we use ruby, but are happy to train people on the specific stack).

While it looks like a tablet interface, I use gnome 3 on the desktop with two 4k monitors and it works great. (I mention 4k, because while I'd love to use a tiling manager I haven't found good support for UI scaling outside gnome

I run gnome on Ubuntu because of how bad it was in Unity, but that's also not perfect. On a two-monitor (both 4k) desktop where I'm not plugging in or unplugging screens, waking from sleep will commonly only bring up one screen, o

Postico looks really clean but I can't get it to do autocomplete. I like aqua data studio a lot on windows, which does things like "select x from table as tbl_alias where tbl_alias<ctrl-space>" autocompleting against ju

The github thread itself is a nice example of a vibrant open source community. They're thinking about whether the project can be a good entry point for others into OSS, considering adopting outside libraries rather than re-writing it t

Another awesome tool if you're using emacs is wgrep mode. You get the results of `grep` in a buffer, can edit it like any other text in emacs, and then save writes back to all the original files. Really cool. Emacs macros are wonderful

Postgres text search is really useful, but dedicated search servers still win when you need to start showing faceted results and more tuning of the scoring.

I do this too. We basically use Jenkins as "cron that the non-engineering team can read with a web gui, auto-archiving of files, configurable email notifications". It's ugly but it gets the job done.

If you haven't done it, I highly recommend trying to write a quine without looking at any answers. I wrote maybe the most gross one possible ( http://scpike.com/2013/10/19/a-ruby-quine.html ) but it was st

Wow, on my desktop with 16GB of cheap, 4 year old ram and a Samsung SSD I bought this year, I'm getting 30x faster io on the ramdisk. Clever solution.

To get back to the point of the article, is 130MM rows past the point where you should start reaching for "big data" tools? I recently did an ad-hoc analysis of a 50MM row, 3GB dataset and saw similar performance to the OP with a

If you haven't tried it, check out the csvkit tools: https://csvkit.readthedocs.org/en/0.9.1/ . `csvlook` and `csvcut` are awesome. I'm also a huge fan of Ruby's `csv` package in the standard library

I actually did this. Our main app is a rails app with MRI, which has worked well but comes with a bunch of opts complexity (even with heroku / AWS you're still setting up background workers, caching, queues, etc). We built an inte

I'm a happy user of ActiveRecord::Migration, so I'd love to read that comparison. What do you keep telling the rubyists :)?

Wow, this menu is so useful! I got annoyed when they removed the links to the different apps and just assumed this 9 dot thing was a part of their new account switcher design and never tried clicking on it.

I've used https://github.com/thuss/standalone-migrations with success before. It's the rails migration system as a standalone gem.

The trickiness will come in handling authentication for all the nested resources (e.g., user X can only see public photos for user Y, and can't update them) and generating efficient queries to a relational datastore. Coming up with a c

Wow, this is a really great talk for anyone using rails. Ernie Miller manages to dissect a few gnarly parts of ActiveRecord while keeping it positive and constructive.

Agreed, but it's worth trying to do well. You get a lot of information out of how someone handles programming live vs. what you get in a homework assignment.

This is a tricky problem. Here are some things I've found helpful on the other side of the table: - Pick a real world task (e.g. text munging). - Suggest in advance that they bring a laptop with their preferred work environment. Allow

I tried Pentaho, but our ETL tasks are being written by engineers (at least right now), and it seemed much clunkier than just writing ruby scripts. Is it worth it in the long run?
