They do have different tracks, and you can skip to the next one.

That is absolutely false. I've worked with large and small organizations whose whole business ecosystem is built on Rails. Including some very large publicly traded companies.

Not sure it's fair for you to compare a small SaaS business to Netflix in terms of pricing. People have bills to pay. I used the free plan for a while but having a reserved subdomain is pretty sweet. And the cost for a whole year of it

Have you worked with any recruiting agencies? I'm a big fan of Mondo - the folks there are great and have been incredibly helpful and responsive. Feel free to drop me a line if you want an intro. (I mainly work in Rails but I'm

That's so interesting re: the number of startups and shutdowns. Makes perfect sense given the mission of "generating power" vs. getting somewhere or "poking holes in the ocean".

This stuff just scratches the surface. They wouldn't post official training materials that went in depth on how ship specific systems work (even for older systems that may no longer be in use).

ex Navy Submariner here. I know quite a few folks that got out (in the 2005-2010 range) and took jobs in the nuclear field. Some had degrees, some didn't. The Navy uses Pressurized Water reactors which seem to be a fairly common design

Same here. I upgraded to Charge HR right when it came out. Am still using the original unit I bought 2 years ago.

I'm using a MacBook Pro from late 2011. Most of the actual machine specs (i.e. processor and max RAM) have barely changed in 5 years. I put 16 Gb in my laptop 5 years ago and it's still the most you can squeeze into a 13" Ma

Bubbles don't happen when everyone says "we're in a bubble". Bubbles happen when everyone is excited, they all want in to the next pets.com no matter what, and the general consensus is "this time is different".

I've been using Moniker since 2006 and the change has been pretty frustrating. I also noticed that they changed the pricing for privacy from the $1 I've been paying for years to $4. All the reps that got me the pricing are long go

The memory is what's holding me back from going with the Air. The new Macbook Pro can actually take up to 16 GB RAM (though it's not a cheap upgrade). I've personally found that memory is the single best performance enhancer for the Mac - I

I think $250 for a decent domain AND a decent logo is a steal given the quality of both and the time savings they present.

There are plenty of opportunities in NYC - from startups, to big brands, to finance. All of them are competing for the same talent. When you are ready to start looking, change your LinkedIn profile to say you're a <whatever> consult

I asked about this on Quora a while back and the general consensus was that such an acquisition was a bad idea. (Though I think it could be a great opportunity for Amazon to expand into brick and mortar shops at a discounted price.) http:

I think asking them to say "I am Real" is a waste of time. You could get much more useful information by asking them to do something else that would also show that they read your instructions. I prefer to ask them to demonstrate their knowl

Not sure if I could say Amazon should be doing that - but I'd love it if other value added providers (such as Heroku) could implement this.

At first I thought this was a joke - I mean, it's April fools, right? And then I thought: those guys are so smart, I bet they really did it. So I tried it, and it works! http://rbcranes.heroku.com/ I heart Heroku :-)

We just did a test transaction on our account with Payflow Pro and everything seemed to work fine. Wondering if it is fixed and we just missed some transactions earlier in the day. Or maybe we are just lucky and did not get affected?
