A very helpful tactic I've learned recently is to not focus on not having any thoughts but instead - realize they're going to be inevitable, and when they pop up, acknowledge that it's a thought, a feeling or, an emotion -

I store a `login_count` in my User model. When searching for a user I `find_by_user_and_login_count`. The token they have has their current login_count in the claims. If I want to logout server side, I just update this value (Can be a rando

It'd be more realistic as well! As space is a vacuum we don't need to apply aerodynamics to the ships and they can be any which design!

What's your opinion on investing in your new graduates immediately rather than letting them get some "real world" experience?

I agree. A lot of times I'm just perusing HN for a few minutes as a break; I'm not looking for heavy reading. Setting up the content like this gives me a quick little chuckle in-between paragraphs and I move to the next. Rather th

Everyone is an emotional being; whether they show it to the world regularly or not. I'm normally a very stoic, "serious", sometimes up-tight and irritable person. I know I've turned off many people from the way I interac

This is done all the time . Even on the smaller scale with middle/upper-middle class families; they have LLCs or some other legal avenue that owns their car, their suburban home(s), etc. It's not just the rich people who do this

It's a good idea when you're working with small changes. If I'm working on fixing some bug, it should probably be in one-commit and done. But sometimes you're working on a bunch of "testing123" "save where

Created something in-house very similar for a job a few years ago; We could accept a ticket, it would create a feature branch, update the ticket and comment on it that it was being worked on, then when we submit, it would update the ticket

While I haven't moved into production yet; nothing broke when I migrated my Rails 4.2 application - just had to tweak the few things to new conventions.

Rails has really stepped up their game after Rails 3; really nailing down the API and conventions. Upgrades are much easier now (Moved from Rails 4.2 to Rails 5 in an short afternoon). Just definitely keep up with the minor releases; but th

Oh, I completely agree! I have probably 5 separate TrueCrypt volumes in my Google Drive. That said, that's only maybe 15GB of my storage, and around 80GB is unencrypted. It's all about what level of convenience you're willing

This is the same with Github, Dropbox, Google, Apple, Bitbucket, Any email provider... Shall I go on? You always have a risk when you're storing your data at a 3rd party. Yes, some are new and have less reputation, others are old and

Why wouldn't it? Have an automated email sent ~8-11am in the morning their time, personalize it with their name, ask for their thoughts. They either reply or don't - either way, automation made sure you didn't waste any time.

Simple is beautiful for budgeting. Every month I use their "goals" as budgets (Rent, recurring costs, motorcycle, day-to-day, insurance, etc.) and I set aside all the money I'm going to spend in each category for the month -

TDD, for me, is great at the very start. I get the nice high-level bits done, they're clean, and they get things working perfectly from the start. But then I want to start moving fast, trying new things, I don't know exactly how I

I've been living in Bali for the past year; the past couple months I've had multiple friends come down with Dengue - It's not fun!

While awesome that they have API support already; that's only half of it as you don't get access to the private key. Still incredibly exciting and a great feature for Amazon solutions!

When visiting Singapore I noticed something similar in a lot of areas (No where near all - but noticeable) where a lot of residential buildings would have the first floor as shops, markets, etc. It made it very community centric which was n

Absolutely not; there are a myriad of reasons to prefer tarballs over Git: - Offline use - Permission restrictions (Internal git networks) - True-persistent versioning (Can always delete and update a tag), no external tools needed to downlo

While I disagree with the authors sentiment as a whole; this issue could be solved by using a shallow clone.

Well if all gov't websites transition to this - at least they'll all look outdated but still in sync with each other. Not to mention responsive, and still good looking.

Seems great so far! I've been living in Indonesia and Reddit has been blocked - normally I have to pop on my VPN to waste time, now I can do it at my leisure! I should probably uninstall this.

This isn't new. At all. And they even say so in the article - what a terrible title. This has always been the fastest and best way to kick when underwater when appropriate for the stroke (In this case - anything but breaststroke, and

It should be a combination, really. You want to have your "Gold system image" available and this is most certainly what you should be deploying from; however your configuration management - whether it's Chef, Puppet, whatever

Not to mention a surprisingly large amount of people don't know what Reddit Enhancement Suite is - so they're going directly to the Imgur page when viewing.
