To summarize it: Someone upgraded from Rails 2.3 and had an issue, since xhr? stopped returning a boolean but 0 instead (the regex index of the first match). But he used the return value of that predicate in javascript. In Ruby 0 is truthy,

I think this comes down to timeboxing everything. 1. Goal: Keeping fit. Invest 30 minutes each morning to that goal, which leaves 3. 2. Goal: Your job. Again, this is timeboxed until 5 pm, so do whatever it takes. Which leaves 2. 3. Goal: P

If you have zero things out there your chance of "luck" is exactly zero. (I'm not saying you are wrong, I just think this is a paltry excuse.)

I think he meant "Server Name Indication" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication If there is more than one site hosted on a single IP, the client sends a request for the SSL certificate. In the "old" way, the client didn't s

Mostly, they are the same. There are some "addons" that are possible with SSL certificats. For example wildcard certificats which are valid on all subdomains, included support, encryption strength, browser support and others.

I think he has some good ideas, but still contains the major flaw that the movie industry still has: A publisher. The publisher/producer maybe was a good idea when spreading an idea was still hard, and we had a lot of mass markets. Even com

It's a running joke in Switzerland since we are in the middle of Europe but not part of the EU. At least it is very easy to find Switzerland on the Euro coin! ;)

In Jekins builds can be triggered by simply calling a URL. In Github, it is really easy to add a post receive hook which calls a URL. Just call the build URL, and everytime a branch is pushed, Jenkins will build the project and to other thi

Really? I highly doubt that. Most people don't want their own business, they want a steady income and not think about their jobs after 8 hours. A small decrease in tax won't change that.

The public domain is tricky however. Not everywhere can you legally put a work into the "public domain". Creative Commons even has a separate license (CC0, http://creativecommons.org/about/cc0 ) to basically just waive all rights to a work

I think there is a simple equivalent in programming. A lot of programmers I know can rattle of the benefits of 3 or more frameworks. They can program in half a dozen programing languages. But they couldn't tell you the basics. They couldn't

But then I think the approach is the wrong one. In TDD you are not required to write a lot of test and hope that they magically work in the future. Instead a small test to do one thing should be written, and then write enough code to make i

According to TDD writing inside-out is one of the points it tries to combat. The point of using TDD to write interfaces is that you first write the code you wish you had , and then implement it. The other way around you could end up with c

Good to know. So I can use SQLite as a substitute to test things? Not as good as having the "real deal", but good enough for a start. Yes, I meant a live preview. I just like to see things working. But as long as I get an email when it's do

Do you currently support any database? Because according to your FAQ you don't, that makes testing an app a bit hard. But it does indeed look very nice if you can get at least some native extensions working, that would make it very simple t

Out of curiosity, what do you consider the other startup hubs in Europe? Guessing from your comment that this is the UK scene, there should be others.

This quote does raise an interesting point. Virtual settings are maybe better to get to know new people, because it doesn't matter if it is a he or she, if he is black, white, Hispanic, fat, muscular, it doesn't matter if they aren't dresse
