One of the founders of Heroku actually had a short-lived effort to build a Ruby-based shell called Rush https://github.com/adamwiggins/rush

People would smoke in church? During the service?

In my experience, no. This is the tapas culture typical in some areas of Spain. If they are brought to you without discussion, they are complimentary — you only pay for the drink w…

I wonder how much this situation is being affected by large-scale deep agricultural wells? I think Arizona is a big foreign exporter (Saudi and China) of alfalfa for animal feed. K…

I’m not sure that’s a fair criticism. Would calling this a model help? That’s such an abstract and overloaded term. Also, I know not everyone can know every open source author, but…

I’ve been researching Traveling Ruby quite a bit recently and, while disappointed in its lack of updates, am also not convinced it’s the correct solution for easily distributable R…

Ember is an interesting framework still and one I would consider on new projects for a few reasons: the core maintainers, LTS releases, and RFC-based governance. I think the projec…

Not dial-up, but around 2004 you could find tutorials for how to unlock your (Verizon) Razr for USB access and OS X would recognize it as a PPP modem out of the box. I think an OTA…

This sounds awesome! Is there a link to your project or source code you could share?

The Github PR for merging this into Rubygems is ~3 years old: https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/pull/719
