I'm about a third of the way through writing exactly that, covering deployment (capistrano) and basic server provisioning (chef), specifically for Rails apps. If you (or anyone) is interested my email/ twitters in my profile. Aimi

Perfect, many thanks.

Absolutely, I've also done some proof of concepts like that but for production use the "in browser" experience didn't really cut it for my uses.

For me the exciting bit is being able to access devices from them. E.g. I've been waiting for this for a while because you can write an app which communicates directly with an Arduino or any other serial device. This means that a lot o

Slightly off topic but can anyone recommend a good book on algebra to get back up to speed before attempting to read these?

Not a lawyer so don't count this as advice but as far as I know, there's no requirement under can-spam to provide an opt out link, just that you make it clear they can opt out (e.g. by replying). [1][2] That's a big differenc

I built such a system with an Arduino a while ago using the bluetooth shield (a huge energy hog). They key was adding some basic "sleep when inactive" routines, it wasn't that creative, if I remember rightly it was about ten

I don't think they create an account for you, they just compute a score based on your activity on social media accounts you already have. So if you have a twitter account, they can generate a score for the twitter user using publicly a

This post from flurry [1] suggests that a big chunk of revenue is going to a small proportion of very successful developers (there was a HN post about which companies they were but I can't find it now). That said it also suggests that

Indeed, and had the permission been on the extension itself rather than a dependency and there been explanation of why it requires the permission when other rest clients dont, I'd probably have given it a go. I'd be really interested to hea

Looks really interesting but shame it's dependant on https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/websecurify/emclbd... which requires "access to your data on all websites"

REST does look interesting. Tried to give it a go but it's dependant on also installing the "Websecurify" extension ( https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/websecurify/emclbd... ). Websecurify looks interesting in itself but requires "a

Also worth considering Postman ( https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/postman-rest-clien... ) I particularly like that it allows you to save groups of requests into "Collections" so you can have quick access to all the main API calls f

I'd agree with you on the slider not being a good use of space. But I'd argue that it does get some other things right which a lot of uk government sites fail on. In particular the simple presentation of the primary services people access w

I'd also stress that not having a written constitution is totally different to not having a constitution. More accurately the UK doesn't have a codified (single reference document) constitution but does have strong constitutional case law.

Potentially not even the pricing, just how it's presented. It's almost impossible to do any sort of quick comparison/ understand what the key differences between each plan at the moment.
