I'd say give Temporal ( https://temporal.io ) a look, but there are a lot of options ( https://github.com/meirwah/awesome-workflow-engines ).

We've been using Temporal for the past year and have found it to be an absolute joy. Being able to model business processes--some of which may take multiple _years_, and require human approval/rejection steps--using procedural go&

Would you ever want autocomplete on, say, a field where you're inputting a 2FA response? Probably not, since any suggestions would be useless. I find the workaround of "just put some other random bullshit for the value" hila

I've used Uber dozens of times, but stories like this really make me think I should give Lyft a shot. After all, if this company is operating in such an underhanded manner this early in the game, it's troubling to consider what t

I'm not sure why MS decided that the release of a free upgrade of their product that's trying to address pain points with Metro would be great opportunity to shove the Windows Store down users' throats. I can't even ope

It's worth noting that Twitter had their own project called Starling, but I get the impression they've moved on. http://rubyforge.org/projects/starling

What does this have to do with client trust? They're expecting the client to access their API a certain way, and the client is sending what is arguably a malformed request. This is, surprise, causing an error to occur.

This (mass-assignment) is fairly standard Rails-fu, so its fair to assume that this could affect a lot of apps out there.

Rackspace customers can use SendGrid to send up to 40K emails a month for free. I wonder how this might impact that deal.

I don't believe the intent here is to replace Resque (Resque is awesome), but provide a slim API at Rails.queue that Resque/Delayed Job/BackgroundDRB/Torquebox/etc. could tie into, similar to how Rails.cache works now, in addition to adding

Wow, thank you for this. The delay caused by this behavior has been driving me crazy for a really long time.

For the record, I almost immediately filled up my allotted iCloud backup space because of rdio, because I have 4.6 gigs of music synced for offline use, and it wanted to back that up. Solution: I disabled backups of rdio data.

Is it possible that a user could use Instapaper to save a document that they wouldn't be able to download later, even if they had access to an internet connection? If that's possible, I think Instapaper would have every right to store thin

I'm a little conflicted about the Firefox Sync feature. On the one hand: yay! On the other... it's a lot more difficult to set up sync in Firefox than in Chrome. I got to work today and was dismayed to discover that I couldn't simply log
