exactly what I was thinking!

I recently moved one of my project to jruby and the startup time is the only thing I'm complaining about.

I think you should add a breadcrumb: when I click on any element on the left navigation list I'm kinda lost.

Otherwise, great idea and great execution!

Our team built Github Death Star to put some order in your hundreds starred repositories.

We also love octocats!

Thanks to the organizers and sponsors, it was a lot of fun!

Totally agree with this.

At letitcast, we're dealing with large video uploads (up to 500Mo), image uploads and resumes (pdf). Giving to our users a nice experience was very time consuming.

We had the following requirement for the client side uploader: iE7 support (we have worldwide inexperienced users), progressbar, multiple file chooser, client side file type detection (server side too). We ended up using swfupload + a lot of js. It mostly work but we're not completely satisfied. Last time we checked, there was at least two popular uploaders on Github but both of them are HTML5-only (vs flash based) and didn't offered the same experience in every browser.

We were first uploading directly to the Rails backend but it eventually killed our frontends. We experimented with sinatra async, eventmachine and node.js and endend up using node to handle file uploads, validations, image processing, S3 storage and video encoding (via zencoder). This was our first app with node and in less than a week we had our app in production, handling hundreds of upload/day.

We also had a few suprises with imagemagick causing 100% CPU load (https://www.google.com/webhp?rlz=1C1CHFX_frFR491FR491&so...).

I'm pretty sure I forgot a lot of issues we ran into. We learned a lot along the way but it's nice to see some people are trying to tackle this issue.

FYI the guys at transloadit also work on this.

You should checkout Clamp https://github.com/mdub/clamp

I'm really surprised nobody said it yet. But indeed, you are awesome.

Agree, I don't know a lot about Unity3D but having an asset-centered workflow should be easier to approach and will sound more logical to students.

I used to work at Seesmic, I don't know all of the team but I worked with most of them remotely (from SF and Paris) and spent a few weeks with them in Romania. I keep awesome memories working and hanging with the team.

Check the Seesmic products on IOS, Android and WP7; you maybe won't love the product but the software is very good.

It's a great move from Loic and a real opportunity for any company looking for a mobile developer (or team).

- why don't you cut your routes.rb into multiple files ?

- rails doesn't stop you of going off the REST way

- I don't know what ejb3 is, but if you need to share models why not creating an engine ? we have multiple rails engine to share config files, controllers, helpers, models, ... works great; it's just a pain to bundle update everywhere when there's an update in an engine

too bad it's limited to the US store

Padrino is great for small apps but for medium to big projects I much prefer go the rails way and remove the parts I don't need.

You can remove the big rails modules if you don't need them (activesupport, activemailer, activerecord,. ..) but also the rack middlewares.

Night train to lisbon - Pascal Mercier

It's about a professor who quits his job and his country to explore the life of an author he just discovered.

I agree with the usability issues.

We hired a freelance designer few months ago, all their work was gorgeous but the usability sucked.

Great feedback ! We'll seriously consider hiring him as a freelance first.

I'd add Redis and chef to the list.

pretty nice to see this is always alive ! This guy was already doing some crazy javascript experiments long before the canvas.

ah I remember when I was excited http://blog.macromates.com/2009/working-on-it/ :-)

Hope the alpha will all make us forget the release time. The bar is very high though.

For the multiple select, I like this one a lot: http://loudev.com/

It's way simpler for the average user.

What we need is not a language of the future but a platform.

Look at Java today with it's language ecosystem; scala, clojure, jruby, ...

Very good article: there is some good exemples on how you could use Redis.

We just added it to our stack for caching and storing sessions.

It's blazing fast !

We're now trying to use it for different other purposes; autocompletion, counting and ab testing.

I tried both Mirah and Scala and I'm sticking with Java for the IDE integration.

I know it's very simple (I read the docs) but looking at the project bug tracker it looks like there is bugs here and there [1].

Just asking if it works well.

Do you know some big websites using the Google Chrome Frame in production ?

If you're using it, any experience to share ?

I don't really see the issue here, isn't all of that stated in the privacy policy of the extension ?

I've worked with Chris at two positions in the past, I totally recommend him, he's a great guy and a good ruby developer.

Hey guys congrats for the v2, seems like you killed some features and redesign the whole site. Very nice improvements !

I know well Nico and Gregory and they're very smart people with no previous experience in programming (at all), you should check out their stuff.
