I wrote a bot that generates @replies a little while back. The motive was to "send" a message that refers users to our service when a specific type of URL is mentioned by a user. We have a policy which we adhere to VERY strictly regarding

To start, the first example is moot, as a university is not a competitive entity like a manufacturer. Whether they decide to automate depends on a need to save money where possible, not survive in a marketplace. Second, you just reaffirmed

"If your company produces 1 car for every 50 hours of labor and another company produces 1 car for every 25 hours of labor, your labor isn't worth as much. If I can automate processes that save time, my labor becomes worth more and yours le

So what is to be done? Tolerate a degenerate system of government? How can you elect officials to represent the people, when the very men and women that run for office have absolutely nothing in common with the average citizen? According to

"A commodity is basically saying that every unit (e.g. a programmer) is the same, in the same way that every piece of rice is the same or every steel worker is the same." So what about, say a car. Some cars are affordable, some extremely ex

If you produce labor for your employer and you are paid wages according to labor rendered, you are a commodity. Well, not "you" specifically, but the labor time you sell to the employer.

What you describe seems to be some romanticized version to the past. What could be considered modern industry is heavily dependent on the productive ability of the unskilled worker--the skilled "part" has been superseded by either machiner

8 weeks? Try 8 months of feverish work and in the end, nothing came from it. Sure, I know now that it probably was a wasted effort as a product , but as a learning experience, it was invaluable. Failure is a part of life. You're right. You

I agree, but I don't think it's an issue of equality in the sense that we're all given trophies and told we're all winners. I think it stems from the fact that most people totally abhor the concept of being thought of as common. Not everyon

I was in the same boat as you not too long ago. As the others have said, Capistrano really is the way to go. Out of the box, it's meant to work with rails projects, but if you tweak it a bit, it'll work fine with really any language/environ

For some, the question of "that which is expensive, or that which is not available" is irrelevant. If a good is priced such that it's out of reach, it may as well not exist.
