Hmm. Maybe? Seems impoverished to me. Someone on the comments for the original article said, the big idea in Rails wasn't so much MVC as much as separation of concerns. I'm on-boar…

Agreed. I can't find any insight or advantage in making this kind of a distinction. The article attempts to address it by saying that people attempt to implement Model2 on a Javasc…

+1. This is useful for me.

I'm observing some people trying to break into technology. Yes, there are online tools available. Yes, many of them are free. One of the complaints I hear is that the target platfo…

Funny you should mention that. Right after you talked about shapes, I browsed through Sensei's Library and saw that too. Thanks for the recommendation.

:-D I'm glad you said something about shape. It's something I'm stumbling through right now.

See (4) about unconscious incompetence.

You ever played Weiqi? (Otherwise known as Go). Unlike chess, stones don't move once played. They can only be captured. On a 19x19 board, you have to balance short-term gains with …

(1) I have respect for people who can put a project together and get revenue flowing through it. (2) This technology stack sucks. (3) That your technology stack sucks does not mean…

I got it for my iPod Touch. From working with it, I'd like to use it on the iPad.

I don't remember. I'm not very good at writing posts that get a lot of upvotes. You are more then welcomed to try -- this app can get all the marketing help it gets.

Want to see a non-incremental innovation for multi-touch calculators? A friend of a friend wrote this: http://mathtouchapp.com/ (He doesn't know I'm linking it here). The app throw…

I'd upvote this comment if I could.

Edo, You ever practiced something like Tai Chi?

I've had similar, fleeting thoughts brewing for a while. Seeing this stated together like this crystallized it. Thanks for sharing.

kree10, thanks for bringing up Vagrant. I might use it in my next laptop, though I'd have to make some improvements to it.

Gentoo can be a pain in the ass, but the occasions when I need package masking and using precise, specific library versions, there's nothing else that does it. Ultimately, I think …

Oh yeah, Vagrant. That is the name of it. If I had to use VirtualBox, that would be what I would be using to manage the VMs.

Some context. I started this current gig 18 months ago. I develop on Ruby on Rails (of course), and ultimately deploy it into the Rackspace Cloud. I also wanted to mess around with…

I run Linux ... virtualized in OSX. Because OSX and MacBooks has wireless that just works. It has networking that just works. And it has suspend/wakeup that just works. But its bun…

The general doctrine sounds great. The specific solution outlined sucks. My hypothesis: easier to get in touch with primal survival instincts and twiddling that directly. The autho…

I didn't think about this until I saw these slides: https://plus.google.com/photos/100238778462210489846/albums/... Friends List sounds like the same as Google+ Circles. However, F…

iTerm 2's visor mode was still a bit wonky so I keep Terminal.app around just for visor. But that was when I was using the alpha and beta versions. I've been using iTerm as my main…

"I don't think that myth exists at all - I've never seen anyone say it until you brought it up." Fair enough.

nl pointed out some things and I went back and checked it again. I was wrong about some things.
