Really? Can you cite a source for this rather absurd claim?

This looks to be a summary of a summary of the study linked at the end. For a more instructive look at the survey, check out http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/145/next-tech-five-steps... .

I agree, good company, good people, but this is total link spam. There is not real content, nothing to discuss, nothing. It's probably nothing but votes from people who work there too, which is sad.

I'll agree with your latter point, he does seem a bit sensational in his claim that the device will be physically useless in less than 24 months. But I disagree with your first argument. You're correct that he omits that they have removed D

You have to go a step farther, if you agree that the model is flawed, don't buy the device, and tell others why you've made that decision. Which is exactly what Corey is proposing (and doing). We won't see groundswell against this kind of t

In fact, Apple's fear of the customer (which leads to their love of DRM) runs so deep that they avoid any built-in peripherals that might allow side-loading of content and applications. The only hardware interface to the device is complete

His point is the exact opposite of what you're saying. He's alluding to the fact that Apple's application review process has as much, or more, to do with your success than whether your users love the app or not. If Apple decides to reject

I've met Noah on at least one occasion. He's a very nice, and very bright guy. But he is a completely accidental entrepreneur, so I'm not surprised at all that he struggled in an interview like this. In fact, this might be the first big

Define an anonymous function that takes no arguments, and execute it without assigning it to a variable. It's often used in javascript to keep things out of the global scope.

I don't have such a simple example handy, but it's not drastically different from your setup except I subclass an Application class, which subclasses Sinatra::Base. I'm loading about 10 subclasses, not 3. I don't have the numbers handy bu

The issue is with subclass style applications. If you use multiple sublcass apps mounted at different URLs via Rack you incur the full overhead of the framework for each subclass instance. It's not a bug, it's just the way it's designed.

Well that gives you some of the extensions, but it doesn't give you a lot of things on the 'view' end of the equation. You're handling your forms yourself, you're handling URL generation yourself, etc. Of course those are the things that

I think the hope is that the broader Android scripting and JRuby communities will step up to help. There is already a project[0] that allows bridged access to a lot of Android APIs via Python, and Lua. Getting JRuby to this level wouldn't

Sinatra is great. I've been working with it for the last eight or nine months on various projects and I'm extremely glad about that choice. But I wouldn't call it "hyper fast" in any sense. From a raw performance perspective, it's faster

I've been pondering what about this whole mess it is that keeps mentally poking me. And the problem I have is the blatant hypocrisy of Arrington et al in the handling of this story. The first post he made about this attempted to make the c

I think one of the most exciting points here is that they were able to get one of the most popular Rails applications running on JRuby without too much apparent hassle. Hopefully we'll hear a bit more from them about this process and how

So why even use it? If you're on linux grab Gedit or Kate, on OSX just use the built in textpad, and on windows, you've obviously got Notepad.

I'm a big fan of the ForwardAgent option. It allows you to, based on destination, pass your SSH key forward and have it used as the private key on the destination server as well. This allows me to ssh into a remote server, but keep my key

PHP doesn't get mentioned, because it isn't interesting. I've done a lot of PHP work, and still do. But there's not a lot of NEW going on in the PHP world. Their latest earth shattering move is namespaces. The only interesting thing abo

I think it goes just a bit further than this, but not a lot. He tried to play off of the "rock star" persona that surrounds the Rails community in an over the top and humorous way. He failed, miserably. Those he was satirizing thought it

I've seen it go both ways. In some cases people come to rely on this person's intervention, but in others it's seen as a badge of failure to have to call in the "firefighter". I think it all comes down to how management handles the situat

The type of person who consistently pulls off these sorts of tasks, is someone I call "the firefighter". Every good organization has one, the person you call when all hope is nearly lost. The one who always manages to salvage the failing

I'm not the parent but I'll reply anyway. I have very few issues with Ruby as a language, in general it let's me get from thought to working code quicker than any other language I've used. Honestly the largest issues I've run into with Rub

I agree. I'm soon to be in the market for exactly this kind of service, and seeing email and twitter don't come for free, was an immediate turn off. If I were to use this service (or one like it) I'd be forced to implement email and twitt

But this falls flat once you remove the assumption that a user only accesses the internet from a single ISP. So what happens when I decide to make that purchase on my lunch break at work? Or from the free wifi at the coffee shop? There wa

I'm not the poster but the last time I looked into Cake it's internal code was just an utter mess. A lot of the mess is from it's continued support of PHP4 and PHP5 which have a lot of incompatibilities in their object models. I haven't us

Really? While I agree that a lot of frameworks are a bit on the heavy side I wouldn't advocate against using one. Frameworks do have something to offer that stock PHP doesn't, structure. I can't imagine going back to doing PHP without so

Importing to me seems like an odd workflow though. Bookmark with delicious, import to markitforlater, read from there, links expire (or not depending on what you do), but are still hanging out in delicious. Again, the only net-positive wor
