I don't really need webcam, speakers, usb, firewire, ethernet or a magsafe connector.

Gorgeous body would be great.

What monitor would you suggest?

Quarter? really? could you link me?

Offtopic: Which external monitor do you use?

I'm thinking of getting the 27" Apple one, but waiting to see if they would release a retina-resolution anytime soon.

Unfortunately, my city is not available as an option. They should have a location select using Google Maps or something.

But still, even if that's the maximum you can get charged if you have a small backup, it's too much.
Re:Meet the new Light Table on Tuesday November 06, 2012 @11:18AM (#4749034)
Looks like a good concept, but I really cannot see how this would work for functions with side effects? What if I write `File.rm("something")` and press enter?

And how would this work with, say, Ruby on Rails development?

Can anyone throw some light?

Umm, so retrieving at 1MB/s is around $2/GB?
Re:PyPy py3k status update on Sunday November 04, 2012 @07:29AM (#4739583)
Slightly off-topic, but when will we see such an implementation of Ruby (most importantly, speed)?

Rubinius looks like a similar project, but it's not even as fast as MRI 1.9.2/3.

Re:Ruby 2.0.0 feature freeze on Wednesday October 24, 2012 @03:22PM (#4694578)
So, anyone has a list of the major changes coming in 2.0?

Btw, slightly misleading title. It kind if implies that 2.0.0 is out.

Re:My experience with WPEngine on Wednesday October 24, 2012 @02:02PM (#4694153)
I'm guessing the recent comments widget is just doing an ORDER BY date DESC LIMIT 10 or something? With an index on date, I don't see how this could be slow.

How long does the query take?

How many rows do you have?

Re:HAML vs ERB vs SLIM in terms of render speed on Wednesday October 17, 2012 @11:53AM (#4664975)
Are there any other pros/cons in switching to Slim? Other than the syntax of course.
Re:HAML vs ERB vs SLIM in terms of render speed on Wednesday October 17, 2012 @11:51AM (#4664962)
I'm considering switching to Slim from Haml (not because of this benchmark, but the syntax).

Are there any downsides to Slim that I should be aware of?

Which is the best PLT related twitter novelty account?
Re:Why Rails 4 Live Streaming is a Big Deal on Friday August 03, 2012 @12:16PM (#4334628)
So these changes won't be available in the free version of Phusion Passenger 4?
Re:Hbro: Haskell based browser on Tuesday July 31, 2012 @09:13AM (#4317033)
A little off-topic, why didn't you just do "xargs wc -l"?
> But it was only 40 years ago, in 1969, that scientists first confirmed that water existed anywhere besides Earth.

Could anyone tell me more about this? Couldn't find anything relevant from a quick Google search.

You should probably split Linux into multiple Distros. That would be interesting.
Re:Create your own programming language in JavaScript on Monday March 26, 2012 @11:54AM (#3757234)
Are there any other good tutorials on creating a toy programming language? Something that teaches about lexers, parsers, etc.
Re:Best of Vim Tips on Saturday February 25, 2012 @03:21AM (#3632528)
Agreed. But this page could certainly make use of some whitespace, to be more readable.
Re:Algorithms notes from UIUC on Saturday February 25, 2012 @03:20AM (#3632526)
On a related note, are there any good video lectures on Algorithms?
Re:Advanced caching in Rails on Monday February 20, 2012 @10:53AM (#3612728)
Is there any screencast other than the Railscasts one?
I like the idea of advertising yourself on the top of an app like this.
