Whenever I hear "SEO", I instantly feel a presence of something shady and unpleasant with a desire to wash my hands afterwards :) For me, it became synonymous to con artists and fortune tellers.

I have a hypothesis that any company reaching a certain growth threshold becomes evil :) If there's already a fancy named law on this matter, let me know. Oh, btw, the very top level is reserved for companies that are too big to fail :)

I very much appreciate the effort. However, I'm a little confused about the subscription. Why this outdated model?

I really like Matz. His kind, joyful attitude in himself and towards the language was one of the reasons that got me interested in Ruby. However, this latest news of misconduct on the Heroku part left me with mixed feelings about his place

Yes, the bash highlight is missing and the showoff handler kicks in instead resulting in 500. Thanks to the dev mode you get complete stack trace with code preview :)

I agree with this point, however, how Rap Genius spends its money isn't an issue here. Whatever the reason, they paid and expected to get an adequate service from the company, which they didn't. And on top of this, they found the shady prac

All my Canadian friends are frustrated with Harper. I wonder how did he get elected in the first place? :) From aside, it feels like Canada is being infested with neoliberal policies in disguise under the very leadership of the Prime Minste

As long as sites keep working on those ancient browsers while devs waste precious time spoon-feeding them - they will linger. I myself stopped caring about anything below IE8 a long ago (lately below IE9) and I ask everyone to do the same.

Apparently, this worked out so well for thefancy.com that they took it down. I can only see the usual suspect: Facebook and Twitter sign-ins. In fact, I've checked all the sites listed in the article - none of them have Google+ sign-in. Als

Two thoughts on this: 1. I think the course to a mass surveillance society is set and inevitable. The culture shift in relation to privacy is evident. Both on the net and offline people gradually get used to the idea of being tracked, obser

Quite otherwise, I dislike the trend of large font sizes with huge line heights. But is it really an issue today when you can easily zoom in or out to your preferable size on practically any browser/device?

Now all they have to do is change the name :) Half joking, but for me, whenever I hear "sourceforge" - it's like a reminder from the 90s with heavy page loads and arcane user interface. It will take time to get over it.

What a bitter man you are. So my grudge and distress you're on the lookout for karma justice . Still got no balls to say you're sorry and move on. Truly, one of the biggest egos I have met.

A mere fact that there's a White House petition for something that in other countries is an indefeasible right - use your phone with any carrier you please - greatly saddens me. I find it astonishing how the Land of the Free can tolerate su

Well, as I see it, the guy wanted to wave the fact that he is a "semi-famous writer on the subject of air travel" for whatever reason. Apparently, the captain didn't like this attitude, which does not excuse him for kicking the guy out, but

What saddens me in this comment is a very common overtone that Ruby is a synonym to Rails. Admittedly, Rails had a major role in Ruby's ascension into the programming glory; however, in the course of this, it overshadowed the language itsel

It's funny how all the rage is descending upon BBC while the 3 other companies that back up the DRM proposal (Google, Microsoft and Netflix) entice zero attention.
