So you have data that one day might go into an RDMS but the next day might go into file store? Do you constantly migrate old data between the two stores? What is the use case for t…

Yes, exactly. We use request specs to test regular HTTP requests to regular pages or our API. And then we use feature tests with Capybara and PhantomJS to load the app, click throu…

Is swapping out the database layer so common you really need a complicated abstraction like the Repository model he mentioned? We've been running an app for 3 years and have never …

I echo his sentiment. Integration testing, especially when you have a JS frontend, makes much more sense. I never saw the point of controller tests and making sure a controller ass…

What are the SEO implications of this? I tried looking at their site (since they built it with their tech) and at the FAQ but couldnt find an answer. Is the content pulled via AJAX…

Much better memory usage and (for us at least) better concurrency. We could only run 4 unicorn workers on a single dyno. But with Puma we run 16 threads with ease.

For cab service, Uber rides are serviced by already existing metro cab companies. The Uber cabs in here in Chicago were already licensed cabs, but now they can get dispatched via U…

Very interesting concept! How do food & restuarant laws apply in Europe? I know here in the US, restaurants need regular inspections by the local board of health. And restaurant is…

Is this anonymous copy-and-paste medium how people start to deal with their problems now? What happened to just talking to people or making tough decisions? I've seen more of these…

I wasn't looking to answer any questions with regard to ethics. For your situation, I would want to know if you went on to purchase other X-Files episodes (or other works starring …

I wish it were possible to have some sort of multi-channel funnel view of people who pirate content. Did they pirate a song and then proceed to buy the album? Did they pirate a the…

I think in this case, it does.

Off-topic but what are you using to serve up images on your site like that? Is it a custom script or an OSS solution?

Have you looked into SEO? Organic search can be a great source for quality traffic/customers

I hadn't seen that article before. It was a great read. Thanks for sharing.

Personally, I have no problem with profanity. I swear when I'm with friends and occasionally during meetings with my immediate team at work. It does help people relate to you and m…
