I believe Vagrant is for quickly and repeatably building development environments - I don't think it's meant for production. Look into packer for building out Production images, and Chef/Puppet/Ansible for additional con

I believe the debugger is broken in Ruby-2.0, and you should use byebug instead. There are pry wrappers for byebug - https://github.com/deivid-rodriguez/pry-byebug - maybe that'll work?

Wow, that's an impressive donation from Mozilla. What's the background story? Why would they be so heavily invested? I understand Tim has done great things for the Node community. Are Mozilla heavily invested with Node, or is this

This is a top notch effort. As someone who has recently started looking at JS MVC frameworks, I've found there are a lot of options and not a huge amount of documentation or tutorials. When it comes to differentiating between frameworks, tu

How have you written this? It's fast and has an interesting feel to it, but I don't recognize the JavaScript framework. Also, how can I leave feedback from within the site?

Bookmarklets are awesome except they involve more user interaction than should be needed. I feel like almost every time I could use a bookmarklet, a plugin would do more with just as much user initiative. They also don't have a favicon (or

It's using Ruby Whois ( http://www.ruby-whois.org/ ) to do the queries, and it looks like the .org implementation is a bit flakey. Thanks for the heads up and thanks for the feedback! I'll see if I can fix the issue.

That's pretty cool, but slightly different. It's certainly a much more polished product =) Where that's showing you a combination of words, my site instead looks up every word and checks it's availability. I created my site to help with the

Hey HN, I was always sick of trying to find available domain names for other side projects, so I came up with this. It'll check availability of .com, .net and .org, as well as any domain name hacks available (gimpish -> gimpi.sh). It's

Imagine if this was combined with the iPhone worm from a few months back. It'd essenially pingflood all phones exposed on the telco networks and screw thousands of people in excess changes without them even knowing something was going on. T

First alarm: iPod plugged into a stereo playing something pleasant. (7.20am) Second alarm: iPhone alarm 40 minutes later. I now mega-loathe the "Harp" alarm tone. (8.00am) Third alarm: Girlfriend kicking me out of bed between 5-10 minutes l

The Rails Way is pretty good. http://www.amazon.com/Rails-Way-Addison-Wesley-Professional-... I've found the peepcode webcasts worth their weight in gold, but that's not a book =) And I found Design Patterns in Ruby pretty good for Ruby b
