Kanye West makes no claims about being a gangster. In fact, when his music first became popular, it ushered in an era of non-gangster "backpack" rap, at a time when "I've been shot 6 times" 50 Cent was on top of the

That's not going to save you from failing to capture key records, or capturing them incorrectly. You do have a point about manual testing being just as effective as automated testing, just a lot more time consuming.

No, this is not the expectation at all. Software developers should be paid for their work, but (sorry Hacker News) of all the popular funding models "VC-funded free service"(1) is the most hostile towards its users. 1 http:/

Switch from schema.rb to structure.sql by setting config.active_record.schema_format = :sql in your application config if you want to do anything remotely interesting with your schema.

DHH, the author of this post and Rails itself, is and has been actively campaigning against client-side applications, as they clearly undermine his server-side ecosystem.

Not to be pedantic, but the Cluster API uses forked workers, so it's technically a multi-process model, each process with its own single thread. AFAIK there is no threading support in node.js. Not today and not ever (?).

It seems like such a massive optimization over the driver-and-gas-truck-around-town solution, that when I think more long-term, it just feels inevitable that this technology will be everywhere, even though I had the same reaction as you. &q

I'd say Walmart needs a high-load solution, as does paypal and LinkedIn who are both using node. Static vs dynamic languages both have merits and are almost completely subjective, but I'd say it comes down to team quality. Don&#x2

It really doesn't matter if the author / artist intended it or not, if people together find a deeper meaning and talk about it, that's perfectly valid.

I don't think you understand how that metaphor works... are you trying to say that every problem is the same and developers choose wildly different tools for the job?

I guess I am being vague, because my argument distills down to simple optimism vs. pessimism. I can't argue what is not known. We don't know what tomorrow's energy sources will look like. We don't know how to sustain two

> Is it amoral? Yes for two reasons. A) You're telling other people what they can do with their own bodies, and that is fundamentally wrong (see the ridiculous abortion debate in the USA). B) It's impossible to apply the rules

I hate to come off as anti-intellectual, but science is bound by the burden of proof and has no capacity to account for human ingenuity or dramatically different models of consumption, production and growth. Yet history shows we can expect

I never said Malthusian theories were _the reason_, only that they contributed significantly. I'm not a PHD in this or anything, your google search result is as good as mine.

Yes. People's relationship with music is an odd one - what you listen to you is meant to say something about who you are. You can't listen to classical because then you're an elitist snob. You can't like Justin Bieber be

That's all just myth-building, and he's done a brilliant job of it. Take this very message thread for instance, on a technology forum thread about Lou Reed of all things, the conversation is dominated by Kanye West.

There are two meanings of "producer" at play here: a) he who cuts a beat, b) he who produces an album. Kanye was limited yet very successful at A, and he may be the best in his field at B. Kanye may not be the world's best ra
