If you end up switching to Route 53, Namecheap support can give you a Zone file ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_file ) to upload into Route 53. They're not exactly the same format; here's a GIST of the scri

Thanks, just tried it out. This is almost there - it doesn't seem to handle copy/pasting multiple rows from excel into the grid.

Looking forward to trying it out! I've got the evaluation version of Intellij IDE and it doesn't handle copy/paste across multiple cells.

I'm still on the hunt for an OSX PostgreSQL client with a table editor as awesome as aqua data studio's [0] (their java client doesn't work great on mac). With ADS you can edit the results of any query as if it was a spreadsh

I think it's great when doing adhoc analysis that only you are ever going to look at, though maybe I just need a better IDE. Another neat / silly trick is to add a truthy condition at the beginning of a where: select * fr

The CanCan ruby authorization library does a neat bit of metaprogramming. It offers a function "load_resource" which you put at the top of your controller. The function uses the name of the controller class and the name of the cur

I'd love to read a blog post about your experience writing that, and to see the code!

I definitely wasn't trying to say this project would be better served by a "real" CMS, just that I'd like to see how someone would put one together. I've heard the idea of your second paragraph repeated in a bunch o

This is really awesome, thanks for building it. I was just working on a toy clojurescript project yesterday and while clojuredocs is very useful it's sad it hasn't been updated in forever. I've found examples to be incredibly

Thanks! I agree that just building something is a great way to get familiar with this stuff. I'm not looking for someone to say "this is how you build SOA" (which is probably why I found the rails book lacking) but rather &qu

What do people recommend for learning about SOA / microservices? I liked Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture and Enterprise integration patterns, but didn't have a great experience with the SOA design with Rails book -

These don't need to be night shifts. Back when I worked in bigco, we had very competent ops teams around the world - we'd even send developers abroad for 3-12 month periods to train with them and share information. Smaller compani

The worst part of multiple google accounts is a bug (feature?) in the account switcher widget. The flow is a two page thing where you first pick the account you want to switch to and then enter your password on the next page. For some reaso

So much that I wrote this: http://scpike.com/uniqify/ (I know you can do filter => unique only => copy somewhere) but it's stupidly slow.

Non-termination makes perfect sense, but would you mind sharing a layman explanation of what you mean by the effects of partiality?

Wow, this explains so much. I had to download the coffeescript compiler last night to fix a bug in a library I'm using and hit this error running npm install. I didn't even think to consider that npm itself was broken. I guess it&

You want to do rails development on a nix system, which basically means Linux or Mac. Developing on Windows will be frustrating: some gems won't work (especially ones that call C code written for a nix environment), everything will run

I don't think you can just pass '(i) to palindrome? here - doesn't the number need to be converted to a list of digits first? I got #t for everything using your code. I took some code off SO and it bumped up the runtime substantially: #
