I love companies like this! With tests and bureaucracy they are able to give me a clear signal that I shouldn't work for them, as my work will be mired in paperwork, false metrics and needless hoops to jump through.

I think that's the point though right? Its an arms race with a nearly perfectly efficient market that will (in the future) not be a get-rich-quick scheme for miners. If there's profit to be made easily, the some people will react

Clearly, its a problem a free market will efficiently fix and prices will stay low. </sarcasm>

Aside from money (which is pretty motivating), I don't understand why the gas companies simply continue to deny that there is contamination and that there are negative outcomes to the environment for doing this (let's put it this

And I don't understand Wordpress as a CMS. It's frankly a terrible one as well. Poor internationalization support, doesn't meet government accessibility requirements, its non-structure makes maintenance and teamwork almost im

Then all you should need at most is a single query to a single table- which could be loaded asynchronously via Ajax for swift loading time and less load on the server (no slow view renders) and that response could be cached with Nginx&#x2

I really don't understand Wordpress as a blog platform sometimes. Why so many database queries? Why even have database queries at all- aside from perhaps comments? Static pages make significantly more sense for almost all blog setups (

I haven't used Rails 4.0 much yet, but I know that I really dislike the default HTML generated with the Rails 3.2 scaffolding generators. The markup is kinda ugly, too verbose and the use of form_for just bothers me. I always use simpl

I concur that something needs to happen on queues/background jobs. Right now I've always gotta go setup Resque/Redis to make basic background stuff happen and keep the app snappy. Its not a huge pain, but it seems best-practi

This is true- but at least for Heroku deployment I always find myself digging around for the "unicorn-killer" stuff. But perhaps that's Heroku specific.

I agree a LOT with the dotenv-rails suggestion. Not having it in there by default sets up users to put variables in their initializers, and then check them into Git.

One thing that I think could help out a bit would be to show key commands as they are pressed as well. I'd love to use this to show my students software development things (using vim or emacs for editor), but showing them the keypresse

Please do get in touch via the website. We're super flexible on chapters running themselves largely as they'd like (quite similar to Barcamp), but we'd like to officially have you in the loop to be able to provide you with re

Sorry to hear about that- and I encourage you to reapply (even with the same ideas again!). Sometimes it isn't that your idea wasn't awesome, but that there were just a lot of other awesome ideas coming in that month. - David Fish

I agree with you- basing a startup on one of these platforms is incredibly risky (on top of the standard high risk that all startups have). I myself have written a TON of code for Twitter, for example, that is no longer useful due to ever-i

My girlfriend and I (who each have Fitbits) have joked around several times about the potential for Fitbit to be able to track sex. And now, someone's doing just that.

Maybe not, but I can code 10x better on Adderall. If I had this in high school, I'd have gone to MIT.

But that doesn't seem to be tuition stuff. Room & Board is a separate set of fees, and most sports programs more than pay for themselves.

Tuition has skyrocketed, but have universities changed that much? They act like they never have enough money, but yet... they have more than ever. What are the offering now for their 10x increase in tuition in 30 years?

Honestly, because most people have to. I'm just getting to the point that I can probably work just half or so and sustain myself just fine. This is awesome, but I realize I'm overflowing with privilege. For most, this isn't a

One thing I've always appreciated in concept about American law is the idea that sometimes- we just say that the law enforcement can't do something because we (should) hold ourselves to a higher standard. Found out about somethi

I remember like ~10 years ago on Slashdot some people overclocking to 7-8ghz. Of course this was on single core chips, but we've really pretty much completely stalled on the mhz progression haven't we?

I'm not up on my history as much as I should be, but I think some of the influence there conceptually is from the "right to overthrow the government", and the idea that many of the new governments at the time were only lastin

Interestingly enough though, that 'right to bear arms' actually gives zero protection from the government as theorized- even if the gov't is acting in a corrupt manner. If this guy was in Texas holed up with a small armory, t
