Yes, I used to use ASP.Net MVC for pet projects, then switched to Rails - I also use CakePHP and Django for actual paying work/contracting. But thanks for the passive aggresive comment.

At this point I'm seriously considering dropping Rails as my framework of choice and reverting back to ASP.Net MVC. Why? 1. Security fixes are released very quickly (good thing), but more often then n…

Highly likely because MailChimp is a BUSINESS site, not some consumer site. Normal people love to just click a button and see their facebook image and name saying, "Welcome back, John Doe!" - without …

Hey small world. I heavily regret not working on the site more, but when Lolking came out with tons of funding from the Curse network, I figured I couldn't compete against a team of programmers and de…

Reminds me of a feud we had with a website called ChampionSelect.net Back then my brother and I were huge LoL fans and we decided to build a fansite for the game. You can see it here (it's no longer a…

This is bad - real bad. Goes to show you if the 'golden boys' can make mistakes such as these, what about the other 96% of companies handling your info?

You're kidding me right? 'git log' is a POS at really understanding the changesets and what changed when. A GUI is INFINITELY easier to use, especially for larger teams. Just click a changeset, see wh…

Meh. To be honest I'll take the 800ms jquery approach and get home quicker rather than using plain old javascript to shave of 600ms off a function. For 99% of the projects out there, jQuery is fast en…

Irritating to you - reassuring to his/her actual target demographic.

If anything, I've given Chrome a bigger crutch by giving it more letters to work with. And it's still worse than FF. ;)

Major thanks to the committers who volunteer and work very hard on these releases. You're making Rails safer, each day, bit by bit.

Thank you for opening up to this community. For better or worse, I feel the HN crowd has it's head together and will always give good feedback on products.

Haha, I just switched from Chrome to Firefox because I hate how Chrome prioritizes Google Search over my previous history. It's idiotic. Here, let me show you a clear example. http://i.imgur.com/uNsh…

"In 2010, Auernheimer and a compatriot, Daniel Spitler, discovered that visiting an unsecured AT&T Web server and entering a number associated with the customer's wireless account allowed him to o…

I'm sorry but I don't understand what this can be used for. How is this different than running `heroku create` in your folder and then git push heroku master? Or is this just a troll repo, similar to …

Thank you for this. "Start... then continue." It's something that I needed to read and really let it sink in to get my ass into gear. Really appreciate it.

Google it.

Wow, seeing this at the top of this thread really makes me feel HN is jumping the proverbial shark. The entire post is not a "Hey, fuck BnB, we can do it in 2 hours!". It's about how you can quickly i…

Seeing how trigger happy and bat-shit insane US laws are regarding cyber-crimes, I wouldn't risk it. You kill someone, you get 5 years. You hack something you get 10 years PER COUNT. Pffff.

Essentially the number one reason I left was no file storage. I could deal with things being hidden from me, I could with paying a premium price, but I could not deal with using yet another service fo…

I know about that. Still not useful for 99% of the use cases where you would need ot save files.

This is what I thought Action.io would be, but after a support ticket where I asked them about this use case, they said: === "Hi Sergio - Thanks for the note and glad you like action.io. Please keep i…

I used to love Heroku but it's just too darn rigid. I hate the fact that everything is done behind the velvet curtain and I'm just assured it's "going smoothly". Last week I finally bit the bullet and…

Ok so this post confused me even more. So it's not a "meteor app" it's a node js app that happens to use Meteor?

I'm still incredibly confused as to what Meteor actually _is_? Is it a javascript framework (think, a js framework)? Is it an MVC framework (think CakePHP, Ruby on Rails) that happens to use Javascrip…

Kind of bummed out over this news to be honest. Well, we still have deep sea exploration - I'm sure there's something down there that we haven't found yet.

"amazing"? These look terrible and would make any website look like a throwback from Geocities. Neat that it's done with CSS3, not practical for any real purpose though.

There are so many new tools coming out, but here's the thing: _You don't really need to abandon ship every time something shiny comes along._ Really, you don't. Use the tools that help you get the job…

Here are some awesome libraries I've used for HTML scraping: 1. Python - BeautifulSoup 2. Ruby - Nokogiri (use in conjunction with Watir if you're scraping a very client-heavy website). 3. C# - HtmlAg…

50$/month!? :(
