Yeah, I am - eng lead at Shopify here and actively hiring. What were you wondering? :-)

No, that's not entirely correct. You can do @user.public_keys.find(params[:id]).update_attributes(:user_id => 25) Its the mass assignment protection on foreign keys that prevents y…

The right way is relative. I was never taught to touchtype, but I end up spending hours every day typing, so it just developed naturally. Looking at the natural resting place of my…

Except for the fact that none of the people who would give me the updates I'm interested in are on Google+...

The judge isn't disputing that. He's saying that it is necessary to face a trial to determine it, and he isn't going to just brush the charges away and say they were definitely not…

I hit this with Pixelmator...I actually assumed it was their fault, and just uninstalled it and reinstalled it again, after which it worked fine. I'm on Snow Leopard still though, …

If you go to an artist, you can also select an artist radio. Select the artist, and it's in the top tabs to the right.

:(. Using Whenever and Whenever (ruby cron gem) together will make my head pop.

1) Agreed. Fully. Of my outside work time messing around on projects and such, 50% is reading HN, 50% is experimenting with new Rails plugins, or Ruby gems, or databases. I find on…

Agreed on this. I've filed 2-3, and each has had a reply in minutes.

You don't hear about the 99% of the attempts that were successfully foiled by good coding practices/security audits, so given that we are hearing about a security breach at a compe…

Rudimentary version control?

I love the fact it's an 'around the world' canvas. Most implementations I've played around with use an expanding or fixed width one instead...it makes some combinations truly amazi…

I once plugged an Ethernet cable into a USB port...I was a lot younger, and I took a file to it because I was absolutely convinced I'd been shipped a cable that was too big.

I've done it once...went for the brake, my foot was at an awkward angle, slipped, and got my foot pressed down on the accelerator and the toe jammed under the brake pedal. Logicall…

My only issue with that approach is that of holiday days. I can see so many ways that that can go wrong. To me, the reason it works seems more like peer pressure than enjoyment of …

This viewpoint always annoys me. It's great to think that work is all there is to it, but that's not true. You can become great at anything with practice, I do believe that. What I…

Depends, I had that opinion too until I took university maths. The proofs they give you to learn by rote are actually extremely useful, as they add techniques to your repertoire th…
