Doesn't it make more sense to post the security fix release? http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2012/6/12/ann-rails-3-2-6-has-...

Interested as well.

What a piece of drivel. This is anomaly hunting and goalpost moving at its finest.

Tag line(s). There's multiple and they're displayed randomly.

The fact that people are only now discovering this year old feature goes to show how lacking its user interface is.

It's a great idea, and a great implementation, but it has no affordance whatsoever to promote discovery.

If you want to roll your own, don't steal the man's hard design work if you're going to plagiarize his concept anyway.

Dustin is often quite cocky, but I don't wish this kind of mindless copying on anyone.

Online teaching is not so much about watering down than understand that your audience will not usually and probably cannot have the same level of focus that your on-campus students will have. It's not a judgement of skills, but a simple observation of psychological incentives.

Online is a great place to learn, but it's absolutely the wrong place to learn the exact same curriculum as offline.

A lovely way to admit being wrong while still remaining slightly user-hostile.

In defining who merits respect? You're damned right it is no more credible than Scientology.

What you're describing is a proper non-sequitur, why would a government's utility inform its credibility as an arbiter of respectability?

Really? An "'I hate white people' t-shirt" parallel?

Don't even get me started on that atrocious "we don't need to see this" line of argumentation. If the Google+ is going to censor (let's call things by their proper names) pictures that "people don't need to see", where's the goddamned line?

Imbecile.

That such a poorly constructed argument makes its way to the Hacker News homepage is worrisome. I had the hope that people who use logic for a living would have higher standards.

There have been several issues with Sass (sass-rails) and the Asset Pipeline. Some of them involving Compass (https://github.com/chriseppstein/compass/issues/516#issuecom...), some of them due to Sprockets (https://github.com/sstephenson/sprockets/pull/268#issuecomme...).

They have indeed been crippling for front-end development, and majorly under-reported since this summer. So if you're facing any of these issues, please participate in the GitHub Issues threads I linked above and help the relevant teams diagnose/improve the problems.

Don't just come up with a name. Find a meaning, and let a name emerge from that meaning.

What is your purpose?

Did I just see a syntactic tool derided for being only good at reducing and enhancing syntax? From a Ruby developer?

It's all about expressive code. There's nothing of value in a closing tag. Nothing. No information than cannot be carried with pithy indentation.

And as others explained well, Haml when used in conjunction with scripting languages encourages the removal of controller and model logic from the view layer.

It doesn't try to add anything else to HTML because what the hell would it add? HTML doesn't have lexical scope issues to fix. I can't believe this shoddy piece is blaming a simple tool for simply doing its simple but useful task.

ruby-build was already updated to support 1.9.3-p0, just clone the latest: https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build

If you define originality as a clumsy patchwork of existing pieces.

Well then, Samsung wins. Clearly.

"Raven is a site-specific web browser for Mac"

You're welcome.

It's really poor journalistic work. It works better as a demonstration of pseudo-psychology than anything else. Every comment from the author about Jobs is riddled with a-priori, specious extrapolations and non-sequiturs.

It's interesting nonetheless.

Who gives a shit about appearances, nothing looks more respectable on the surface than insurance companies, yet they are some the most opaque and dubious businesses there is. This is precisely what the insurance business needs, a breath of fresh Web air.

I'll be eagerly waiting for this service to make it to Florida. Good luck guys.

Am I the only one here wishing for some persistence?

Thanks a bunch.

I would love to see the web industry as a whole show the tough guys cartels in Vegas how it's done in the 21st century.

If governments have to aggregate bills together because they are incapable of considering individual ones, do you really expect them to ever produce well-rounded pieces of legislation?

Looks like government can't scale.

It's called introductory pricing. A groundbreaking idea.

Tested this and learned a ton of from the Rails Best Practices course, whereas it usually takes me a while to learn how to refactor code properly using a new language or framework or even to care.

Definitely trickier than Rails for Zombies for people how have used Rails before but much more rewarding.

This article confuses personal distraction with external distraction. Yet another example of journalists interpreting research creatively.
