how do you go about that? Are there services that facilitate such article writing?

Also stuff like this only works in simulations, the actual trading fees make this totally unpractical.

I think this is the point where node is getting a bit silly. It's a wonderful tool with a clear purpose: simple high performance network servers that usually tie together a bunch of different servers behind them. If they are trying to turn

Agreed, this post is a big deal. It could have saved me a year of work on this front if I'd have access to these information earlier in Shopify's lifetime.

You can log into your battle.net account. If you are in it lets you download the beta. There don't seem to be CDkeys because it's tied to your battle.net account. No one has gotten emails yet.

It looks like it's a proprietary competitor to canvas which microsoft doesn't like.

It was worth it because Rackspace is a much better host. We used to run our own data center in toronto before this. The DMCA is a major annoyance but doesn't really factor into the bottom line.

This happens on Shopify all the time now. Since we moved our servers to the United States we are being hit with DMCA related infringements almost weekly. If we get normal trademark disputes they are usually easy to deal with: we simply put

This page needs an example output to see what one can expect from the tool and there should be a better way then a git checkout to install. A rubygem that adds a binary perhaps. Edit: misstook it for a command line tool. This is great!

His newer book "Investors Manifesto" is even better and incorporates the recent recession. As always, it's brilliantly structured and easy to read. http://www.amazon.com/Investors-Manifesto-Prosperity-Armaged...

Fair enough. It doesn't have to be helpers. It could become the standard way of writing active ajax elements. Typing out <a href="/stuff" data-remote="true">more</a> is pretty efficient even by hand.

At the very least the unobtrusive javascript helpers. It's easy to imagine that all web frameworks will come to a kind of protocol modeled on the efforts of the rails core team here. This will mean that you can use any JS framework ( Protot

From the title it sounded like they are starting a franchise of Bars where gamers can socialize. Anyone else find it weird that it seems like almost everyone under 30 plays video games but they are entirely confined to home? I wonder why th

It's important to point out that Rails3 is build on top of this. It was started as a Google Summer of Code project. It's an amazing piece of engineering.

For 99% of all companies a simple unix box that collects log files and moves them along for permanent storage a few days later (S3/Tape) is enough. At Shopify we use Clarity which is a web frontend for Grep and Tail that we released as open

Where can we ask Firefox for h264 support instead? The web will not support two different video formats at the same time, the whole idea is madness. Storage is expensive.

That's by far the nicest tooling for async I've seen in ruby yet. I've written a lot of async code in ruby and have tried to make it more accessible in the past and didn't end up with anything nearly as nice.

It's also possible to fully "backport" WebSockets through a flashembed that acts as an intermediate layer. Flash has about 98% penetration so this should make the technology usable right now. Especially with an eye to a future where the fla
