I generally program on the Linux platform and use Ruby, Java, a bit of Perl and occasionally C++. In one previous job however, I did Windows development in C#. Whenever I tell people that C# is a seriously awesome language they look at me l

I will second pretty much everything you just said. I have renter's and auto insurance, checking, savings and a credit card all through USAA and they are fantastic. Many banks are just beginning to catch up with their technology and no

Masters of Doom is a fantastic read, I had the kindle edition and had to track down a hardback copy after reading it. I wanted it on my shelf. The author has a new novel out titled Jacked which I believe tells the story of Rockstar games bu

For all of the people in this thread saying "some of these aren't that bad" you seriously need to get some perspective. Come visit what's disparagingly called "flyover country." I live in the St Louis area and pay $450/month for my apartmen

I think you would find that there are a subset of people, myself included, that don't find that notion so insane. If you accept the idea that the purpose of the 2nd Amendment is to allow the citizenry to overthrow their government then havi

It is sad that the sort of bigoted opinions you're espousing here are what us firearms enthusiasts have to endure. It has nothing to do with machismo, nothing to do with Obama, and nothing to do with birther garbage. The right to bear arms

Very cool! Its great to see this progressing at such a fast rate, and I'm glad I got the chance to be a part of the Kickstarter. Are there any plans for Ruby support? I know Python was first as it was the stretch goal, but Ruby has been men

+1 For forklift. The tabs and multipane remotes are killer features. It also feels lighter weight than a complete finder replacement like TotalFinder.

What you've described is the internal policy at the company I work for, and its a total nightmare. You don't get new versions of software until you upgrade your entire OS, a non-zero amount of developer time is spent re-packaging things tha

I can confidently say that I would not want to live in this man's world. Making things illegal because they are harmful? Ridiculous on its face.

Looks like they tack on shipping when you check out. It was very reasonable for me though < $4.00

As a dedicated untappd user (500 unique beers, way more checkins), what does beerquest offer over untappd? It looks beautiful; clearly a very well put together app, but is there a compelling reason to switch? Either way, great work!

What sorting of pricing/space requirements are you planning on offering? I run a boxee server with several NAS devices on my home network and it works great - but it would be nice to watch something at my girlfriend's place without loading

While I agree with your similar standard of living statement, I'm not sure that I could name a country that is "substantially more free" with a comparable standard of living. We may have differing definitions of free, but things like relati

To me it all depends on other factors. If you're programming in a Windows environment then I'd pick ASP.NET MVC using C#. I've worked with it before and while I'm a Mac/Linux guy by trade, I found C# to largely be a pleasant language to wor

I'm aware of the distinction - but in this case - to me at least - the cost and the value are the same. The value of streaming songs is exceptionally minimal when they are easily acquired for free via other means. The only value add in my m

I disagree on it being priced too low. I realize that in some sense, they have to play to cards they are dealt by the labels - but 10 bucks a month is far too much for streaming music. If Netflix can stream unlimited HD video for 8 bucks a

This is awesome - I've often thought about building something like this myself. Have you considered writing a little about your implementation? Background jobs and web scraping? An API?

FWIW - it has been reconsidered in Ruby - all values are truthy except nil and false.

The sigils make variable interpolation easier only in the most generic case "interpolate $me". Anything more sophisticated requires a temporary variable.
