Well, if you're managing your rails app like that, you're running against the grain. Most rails apps should and, from what I know, are, being maintained at or near the latest stable version (currently 3.2.9). It's very much against rails be

+1 to this book. It's worth it just for the crushing realisation of what income category the actual rich consider you to belong to.

In Australia we've had ads which specifically focus on the unsafe, illegal manufacturing conditions of a banned drug as a reason to avoid the drug. For example: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J1b1lX7HRxU/TlBbd9d4WHI/AAAAAAAAAN... When I first

Who was stupid enough to take the opposite bet? Of course polluting an otherwise touching and thought-provoking essay with God Talk provokes moans from those of us, thankfully many, who have no wish to see it. It's as if someone took a few

It would be nice if we had the linguistic tools to be able to talk about developments like this without using words like "race". Race, IMO, has little to do with it - it's all about culture, and asians, especially first and second generatio

As far as I can see this article is rather misguided. The author seems totally unaware of the existence or purpose of these files: config/environments ├── config/environments/development.rb ├── config/environments/production.rb └─

I'm looking forward to trying this out with my Mac Mini, which I use as an XBMC machine plugged into the TV. Hopefully the built-in HD4000 integrated graphics will suffice for Portal. I need a controller. Which is the best one to get?

Forgive the annoying watermark. I find this kind of shipping operation to be absolutely fascinating and, as a software type, a glimpse into "how the other half lives".

I want to be contrarian here and say I actually liked this article, whose main thrust I might summarise thusly: The future will not be as cool as technologists imagine because in the contest of being what it could be, and being what its cu

I think you're misunderstanding what a "black swan" event is supposed to be. It's not just something that is unpredictable; that is normal. It's something that is so outside the whole frame of reference that it wasn't even not predicted; it

I'm all for vision and ambition but there's a difference between aspiring to be the best and claiming to be it already! One is a laudable goal; the other comes across as wishful thinking. Imagine if you opened a new restaurant and on day on

This stuff seems like science fiction. Small-object visual cloaking within five years? Room-temperature levitation? Really!? That would be, uh, somewhat revolutionary. Does anyone have a more conservative layman's introduction to the field?

Slightly off topic: the introduction the author recommends using, "(name) is the best (product category)", was slightly annoying a couple years ago when I first heard it and is now just a full-blown obnoxious cliché. Whenever I hear a start

For a long time I have had this theory that the reason the poorer classes in the US seemed so paradoxically opposed to higher taxes, or just taxes at all, for the super-rich was because they secretly believed that, one day, they'd be super-
