ramigb··on FTL: WebKit’s LLVM-based JIT
Some of the google documnets were not shared probably, would you please share them? like the "FTL Performance" one it gives me:

ramigb··on Poll: For your startup, do you use Django, Rails, PHP or Other?
Last time i built an app on sails was March, and i couldn't compare it to RoR, ActiveRecord is far more superior IMHO.
ramigb··on We Did It!
The downvotes that you got and i got are something normal, internet trolls are everywhere, although i asked a real 100% valid question, the title of this post and the first couple of paragraphs didn't give me a background about why this is in the front page, those who downvoted me obviously thought i was trolling so they whipped out their swords and fought like real knights ... dumb motherfuckers.
ramigb··on We Did It!
You did what??
ramigb··on Poll: For your startup, do you use Django, Rails, PHP or Other?
For my own startup i used RoR, for freelancing clients i use Ruby/RoR, Node.js/Express/Sails, PHP/CodeIgniter.
ramigb··on Show HN: Why sign a NDA when you can just pinky swear instead?
So the point of this is ... "Ideas are not important"?
ramigb··on JQuery 1.11 and 2.1 Released
Exactly "Cheerio implements a subset of core jQuery" it does not depend directly on jQuery as a dependency but it does use it.
ramigb··on JQuery 1.11 and 2.1 Released
jQuery has much more than DOM manipulation, but since you mentioned that, some packages like Cheerio uses jQuery -to some extent- to parse DOM on scrapped HTML pages, and of course you can use jQuery to create DOM elements and append them to responds although not efficient but i am just giving examples from the top of my head here :)
ramigb··on HTML: font color=”red” becomes green
Changing the curly quotes to normal double quotes will make it behave normally.
ramigb··on What's happening in the Palestinian tech startups sector
People should be working more on startups that have a balance between expected revenues and value to the society specially in a country like Palestine where we truly should criticize our selves side by side with criticizing the occupation, we are no angels, and that doesn't mean we are devils, i think if more entrepreneurs felt how much the society need ideas to improve it'll be amazing, some examples would be sites to give free courses online in Arabic about programming and even about life matters, give education to those who can't attend universities specially the mothers at homes and those who can't afford it, internet is relatively cheap in Palestine though no where near how much it should cost it should be much cheaper, some great ideas would be to encourage people to do more community work and activities, another would be to help people sell their home made products ... the list is too long but no one investor would invest in such things! and sadly, our "authority" and the occupation government work hand in hand to prevent employing the right person in the right position so those who are supposed to direct donors money toward useful projects just steal them or steal a great portion of them, if not, then put them in meaningless projects such as Musical projects that even Palestinians won't listen to!!!.

and as for me I actually quit everything -though i am looking for a part time job/freelancing to support my self as no investor would invest in my idea- to work on my current project which is a project that will empower small business owners in the area and get them online, no fancy e-commerce solution, just a simple strong community driven classifieds system that connects the buyer and the seller, not inventing any technologies here, just making the best use of current tools, hopefully i'll be posting about it as i am going.

Finally the startups will eventually hit the occupation wall, there is a physical actual wall outside and inside our cities there is no wonder a virtual one would be wrapped around our dreams and projects, but it's no time to fear such things, i rather see Palestine educated and occupied rather than illiterate and free.

Edit : fixed some spelling mistakes and added some more details.

ramigb··on Fish shell 2.1
I just had an argument with some folks around Bash vs Fish, my argument was as simple as "i like it", their was "you won't learn anything, fish sucks, you can do anything it does with a modded bash" ... but that's the point, i don't want to modify and configure, i want it to work out of the box.
ramigb··on My dad unexpectedly uses my Linux laptop to get real work done
After i read this thread and since i was really busy in the past couple of months, i just realized that for the first time ever all my devices (2 laptops, 1 desktop) are all Ubuntu, and yet i didn't feel i needed to change anything, i think the cloud based apps + the nature of my work (programming) made the choice on my behalf and i couldn't agree more!.
ramigb··on PHP in a Tweet
[1,2,3,4,5].reduce(:+) Or in case of a range ... (1...6).reduce(:+)

I'm sorry i couldn't fight the urge to FIFY :( ...

ramigb··on W3C green-lights adding DRM to the Web's standards
Fuck the greed, the amount of work that will be wasted from both sides of people trying to implement DRM and others who are trying to bypass DRM should be spent on something more useful like agreeing for once at already implemented standards and making them work cross browser, or implementing new better solutions, but no, it's important to protect Miley Cyrus' songs or the universe will collapse.
ramigb··on Facebook vulnerability 2013
Long time ago a friend and me once submitted a whitehat bug that allowed the user to send messages to anyone even if they disabled messages from non-friends, i don't think this option still exists but anyways Facebook told us this wasn't a bug, we didn't even argue, suckers! i now wish i did the Same as Khalil and recorded the bug.
ramigb··on Do_good.js
It's a wonderful idea but i have some concerns i would if someone could challenge them:

1. Some people are on limited bandwidth plans, this adds to the plan since i am downloading and uploading data, and if the data that has to be processed -coming from the server- is big then this is going to kill my bandwidth.

2. This could slow down a lot of mobile devices that are JS capable, or old/moderate hardware.

3. Memory leaks?

4. If a startup is based around this idea, and me as a published i'll use their JS code to run tasks, then i'm basically giving them a key to my site :).

Other than that, the idea it self is awesome, if it could be implemented through :

1. Asking user permission. 2. work on idle browser tabs only. 3. used for non-profit organizations to solve real problems, maybe to fight cancer or to analyze data coming from space.

ramigb··on The Girl Who Turned to Bone
I seriously thought this article was about converting to backBONE.js
ramigb··on [dead]
"SO" this dude uses other programmers code that they chose to submit to the repositories and complain it didn't meet his "high" standards? no docs? write the "fuckin'" docs! or better the source code is there look at it, if the source code is not commented well enough and the way the classes methods aren't clear on how they function then it's probably a bad or hard to maintain module anyways and you are better off not using it! and as others do, i wonder how did this get to the front page.

edit : spelling.

ramigb··on Just Use Sublime Text
Then why not "port" sublime to the server environment.
ramigb··on Hot girl helps friend with dry erase board
"Inspiring"
ramigb··on MIT President on Aaron Swartz
What did he mean by "MIT Medical is available to provide expert counseling"?

edit : and why is this on pastebin?

ramigb··on I have 6.000.000 RSS articles in a DB. What can I do?
I suggest you change your privacy policy (i am sure you have one) and tell the users that you will open the database for researchers, and make the open database a donation based service, this way you can pay to host it and might get some good extra money.
