I think fighting through ACLU is more fruitful. What you are asking for could cause both companies to shutdown, effectively killing one of the few places (Twitter in this case) through which the same distress you are feeling against governm

I didn't understand which hashes you are talking about. Do installs usually provide a checksum or? I have not found any that do, or maybe I just ignore it.

Can't work out whether you are being sarcastic or not, but the notion of a free country exporting freedom and democracy is a novel one. A quick survey of history will tell you that a country A being democratic does not necessarily mean

Thank you for the suggestion. This seems to be a paying option. I am not sure I can afford it at the moment (Locking in through local banks where I live.)

If you are asked a question that you think you can't reasonably answer without your environment, then either you are too dependent on it or the question was unreasonable. In both scenarios just tell the interviewer that and I am sure t

Well you are basically quoting Joshua Bloch of Effective Java fame when he says "please don't abandon the JVM, a lot of work went into it"(My paraphrasing).

This is a good solution if you simply want to keep up with Ruby's development or you usually work with one version at a time, but not for projects where you mix and match. For instance, at my work we use multiple Rubies, including jrub

I think the amusing part is how long it took the asker to answer their own questions, suggesting that he asked only to answer right after. Nothing wrong with that, in fact I think it's great.

Similar story with Germany. I got the offer, applied for a visa in my home country on Friday, they called me with good news on Monday, and collected it on Thursday since Tuesday and Wednesday were off for new year's. By the way I worke

Usually with loan words like this that are used enough, a spelling transformation is inevitable. I mean, I am sure voila itself is someone's pet peeve since its really "vois là". :)

I think you left the realm of REST and reached out to the application level in order to make an non-existing case. Your second example is only asynchronous in so far as you are oblivious to the completion of of the request, but that hardly

True, but it can sustain a free app for a long time given how small the niche is. It's only when you want to consider SSL when things get crazy..

by why-el 13y ago
Well as long as you have the money. I know it's might be trivial for some, but for instance paying 20 dollars a month for Heroku SSL when you are running an app and you are in a developing country (me for instance) is a bit much.

This reminded me of a video where chomsky was asked what he would do if he had time and he said: "I will probably read a novel from the 18th century."

Huh? I don't get this. Mozilla is switching from a single-process model to a multi-one. Chrome was built that way from say one. I hope you see that moving from different models costs more time then actually pick one and support it fo

Quick question, how are these files bypassing the authentication before_filter? I mean, a progress.js (Dont know what that is) probably belongs to a project, and therefore will hit that controller first, and the controller should make sure

I think eval has some great use cases (maybe on a node.js server), just not what you are shipping off to the client.
