Viewing profile — anti-pattern

One more reason I avoid flying them whenever possible.

Ah, that isn't something I considered. I don't write my apps multi-threaded, so it shouldn't be an issue, but definitely good to be aware of.

Ah, well, nothing is foolproof. Yes, if you don't update your dependency list when dependencies are removed, they might get stale. But I keep up on that stuff and haven't ran into …

Yes, but, if you test your classes in isolation, then you'll be forced to manually require each dependency at the top of the file.

Interesting. Why would the requires go stale? And how would you use a dependency you don't require? It wouldn't be possible to use it unless you required it. This of course assumes…

I think a lot of this unfortunately comes from Rails. Rails hides a lot of complexity which creates "magic". And since most Rubyists come to Ruby from Rails, a lot of Rubyists have…

The best code is no code.

Thanks! Probably not, there aren't really any other products I get that excited about, and I like the idea of keeping it very niche.

Oh, interesting. Did they give a reason? Was it legal? MacRumors has been doing this for some time, I can't imagine that there's anything illegal about it.

Indeed. Maybe I'll post the data on GitHub or something.

Actually, the entire reason I made this site was because I thought the way MacRumors visualized the data wasn't very good. If they had done a better job, I wouldn't have needed to …

I guess it depends on how you quantify usefulness. There's less info, but I think I visualized the information that I do show much better than MacRumors.

They probably meant whether or not I "took" the information from somewhere else. But yeah, actually scraping the information would have been ridiculous. It's all just in a static Y…

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for explaining it! This was my first time using SVG. So, what is the best solution? Defining SVG styles in a style tag?

Yeah, for some reason Firefox won't show the gradient. Not sure why. In the meantime I made it so it would fallback to a solid color.

I built my own because their design, and I mean literally the way they visualize the data, isn't very good. Or rather, it's not as good as it could be. They even updated the design…

Whoops, it looks like Firefox doesn't like SVG gradients. I'll look into that. Thanks!
