    Just to clarify, I'm not commenting on whether it's a good strategy or not, or whether they are doing a great job or not. I just find it weird some comments in this topic accusing …

    I believe a framework like Bootstrap might be a faster approach at the beginning (honestly, it's a fair approach for the whole lifecycle of a project). You get all the building blo…

    It is a very valid strategy. If you do not have all the controls in place to comply with the burdensome requirements of the EU law (if that's the case), then why should you stop fr…

    From the context laid in the article, the author meant the first open source project that succeeded without a push from a big private company. Not saying anything about the factual…

    Devise does not impose anything on the number of tenants. I run a Rails app with multi-tenancy and SSO support with Devise. As someone has mentioned, although it does a lot of the …

    it’s not uncommon to lose jobs in sidekiq if you heavily rely on it and have a lot of jobs running. If using the free version for mission critical jobs, I usually run that task as …

    I think those ideas are great for increasing usage, safety and public orderly. Although I would disagree that this should be something dealt at the EU level. It would definitely be…

    Maybe there's other ways of improving the service without outright banning it. I would be surprised if there has not been a lot of innovations that caused a lot of accidents and en…

    And that's ok. I do not see what tangible effect this really has on anyone. They decided to use a negative term "bro", so what? Is it that bad? Is someone really taking a hit and f…

    It would take me a huge mental effort to read "tech bros" as a discrimination based on gender - and I'm a man. They are talking about a few selected guys and decided to call them a…

    I have had exactly the same experience in my previous (and in my current) startup. I would never add the logo of a client without their consent. (maybe some don't follow that logic…

    I wonder if lacolhost.com is just an A record pointing to 127.0.0.1, what would be the use-case to use that instead of just using 127.0.0.1? Is it that some systems require a domai…

    Browsers usually limit the number of requests to a certain domain (around 8 requests if I'm not mistaken, but it may vary). So I don't think it'd be the cause of a self inflicted D…

    For windows, you can use .Net (which usually comes by default on windows distributions, so you should be able to send it and run without any issues). C# is a good language that use…

    Just a little (to me, important) correction: You mean 52% of the UK THAT voted. The turnout was 72%. So 37% of the electorate (not 37% of the population, as a lot of young people t…
