I believe that some cargo ships have space for a very, very small number of paying passengers. I've read articles about this in the past, but have nothing to hand right now on how you can do this. Not a core source of revenue, but poss

This tool would be great for building an A/B testing framework around for various UI color/text/layout testing. You can isolate the testing from the regular code, and provide a set of overrides for a particular test that dep

I think the Heroku Rails 4 buildpack does this automatically. And Rails 4 and Ruby 2.0 build assets faster anyway.

I agree with Starr about having your own Gem repository available for the code you want to deploy to your servers. However, I don't think this solves the initial problem, and that is that you have to develop a trust with the people wri

I would absolutely use Rails for new projects, specifically because these issues are being surfaced and fixed. A framework or system with only 10 users will never have the depth of security and bug fixing coverage that a larger, well used s

Active Admin is getting there in a branch, but I do like to have rubygems.org gems for production apps. I've just started using the Turkee gem, and this needs the mass-assignment gem with Rails 4 to work correctly. Since I'm new

The first form generates a method at startup time that can be pre-configured to do all the work necessary. The second form has to perform a pattern match with the controller and action names to work out which method to call, and then call t

Find a good PHP bcrypt library and you'll be ahead of 90% of web sites with your password security. bcrypt is the current Rails best practice password hashing solution. Stripe is good, as you'll never see credit card numbers, so you'll hav

If you are using Ruby on Rails, you can buy a base application with a whole bunch of best practices built in, including many payment systems. This will save you much more time than the cost of the kit. Check out http://railskits.com/saas/

The problem with an upload is that you rely on someone to re-upload when they change their Gems. Changing the locked Gems means a re-check is needed, as they might have switched to bad versions. Making this automatic is the key part - if y

Doh! I just got the landing page setup, and the signup configured, but never pushed it out. Try it now. Thanks

On exactly this subject, I'm in the process of building a SaaS app that will alert you of security vulnerabilities in Gems in your Rails and other Ruby apps. Sign up at my landing page to here more when I'm closer to launch http://www.ruby

I think you may be overvaluing what you have here. For a loan, under a year, my first thought is a percentage - maybe 5-10%. If you purchased equity, then you'd be looking at getting a multiple of your money back - but not necessarily on yo

If anyone tells you that they can get you a stable 6-8% per year over the next 12 to 15 years, you should run away immediately. Interest rates all go down as stability goes up. Typically, buying government bonds gives the best stability, b

Interestingly, I find that a lot of the questions on Stack Overflow are from such noobs that I'd have to spend time explaining how to program before getting to their actual question. This disuades me from participating, as it's hard to fin

Also plan on doing this more than once, and analyze your performance to ensure you get better. One thing that programmers forget is that, at some point, you weren't good at programming, but over time, you learned and now you are pretty good

And this is why shoe computers are banned in casinos! Google Glass will make this hack so simple, the casino's will have to ban them from being anywhere close to a roulette table to reduce team cheating possibilities.

I've been meaning to write something like this for the last few months. Rails apps on Heroku need a number of non-default configurations to work well, and this is one of them. Thanks for this - I'll add it to a project this weekend and prob

I first purchased groceries online in the UK in 1987 - using Prestel and a 1200/75 modem. I'd guess that the French Minitel service had this available even earlier.

I used to be a big fan of Unfuddle, and I still have an account there, but the reality is that all of the integrations I use (CI is the most recent one) work great with Github and not at all, or are much harder to configure, with Unfuddle.
