You're more likely to get downmodded because your first premise is provably false. I'm sorry you ran into unprofessional people in the Ruby community, and you're perfectly within your rights to use whatever technology best suits you and you

Well, you should prefer acupuncture. It's a much more effective placebo.

You still couldn't chop audio nearly this easily, or move it around visually like you can in Ableton. Most of the manipulations were probably done in the sampler, so they all had to be done by ear, and sequenced out using MIDI. I think the

Simplicity and purity of idea maybe? I make Drum and Bass, and it seems that the whole genre has gone through a period in the last seven years whereby the opportunities afforded by sequencers and plugins have led to music which was often te

Usually if you're conducting surveillance, you don't want other people to know that you know their position. Something tells me that getting access to this type of information would... lessen.. its strategic use. But hey, this means I can s

P4merge is pretty awesome for merging.

As long as you have the "here's why," I think the "here's how to fix it" can be deferred- either to someone with domain expertise, or until you've had time to think of a better solution.

Just out of curiosity, which third-party system did you use originally?

I wrote the billing system for onehub.com, and we had to deal with each issue mentioned in this article. ActiveSupport makes some of the date problems melt away, but we ended up implementing pro-rated upgrades and downgrades, free trials, a

Yes, it would certainly be nice if the problem was solved from both sides.

I'm dubious that any campaign of this sort could be anything other than marginally effective. The real holdouts that I'm worried about aren't staying with IE6 out of ignorance, it's a matter of financial necessity. Internal and business-spe

That could be, and I certainly did a double-take when I saw this his blog is called "Steamboats are ruining everything." Still, at first blush, any winking and/or nodding was lost on me, and I usually pick up on that kind of stuff.

I much prefer William Safire's treatment linked from that bibliography: http://www.nytimes.com/1997/07/20/magazine/jammedtogether-na... Safire seems to treat the whole thing with a sense of playfulness and levity, as if he realizes that t

Yes, I suppose they should... this one didn't though. The thermostat must have malfunctioned too.

As a former Mac Genius, this is no surprise. I've seen Power Mac G4 towers so inundated with cigarette smoke that the cooling fans completely siezed and the processor basically melted. The video card looked like a shrinky dink. Not to menti

I've dealt with this quite a bit, and you're right- it's difficult to deal with the conceptual impedance mismatch between the concept of a time, and its discrete meaning in persistent storage. I wrote a blog post about a month ago that talk

Yes, perhaps you are. First, watch the video: http://vimeo.com/6238577 Second, realize that this was developed from start to finish in 48 hours, by some not untalented people... they seem to have put a lot of thought into it, and the deta

I had this idea months ago... but I have a job. I still call dibs on it.

It works! Thanks... and again, great job :)

GitX is awesome... but for some reason it won't open one copy of my (particularly large) repository. It works on a fresh clone though so it's probably my fault.

I'm willing to bet that the cost and effort of upgrading a stereo have a lot to do with it too.

Absolutely. This, along with DRY, allow you to write in just as much complexity/flexibility as is appropriate at that moment. I think the corollary to this is that you need to become adept at recognizing when additional abstractions and/or

Yes, I suppose that would have worked as well, and would've been more in the spirit of the first attempt at a solution, but it wouldn't have been very general, and it certainly wouldn't have worked for all models in the application (without
