I must say I really appreciate your hard work FooBarWidget. It seems, to me, that anytime something like this gets brought up, you've already addressed/fixed the problem or never even had it in the first place.
I've deployed a few large apps using Phusion Passenger, that years later are still running with incredible stability. Thank you!

Couldn't agree more. Sandi Metz has an excellent talk touching on this topic. Developers exaggerated willingness to keep things DRY and elaborates a bit on why: it's one of the easiest things for a not-so-experienced developer to identify and one of the easiest things to teach.
Edit: One of the best quotes from that talk is (paraphrased): "The wrong abstraction is a lot more expensive than duplicated code". https://youtu.be/OMPfEXIlTVE

"In a fourth embodiment of the invention, the service provider is a lender. When an individual applies for a loan, the lender examines the credit ratings of members of the individual's social network who are connected to the individual through authorized nodes. If the average credit rating of these members is at least a minimum credit score, the lender continues to process the loan application. Otherwise, the loan application is rejected. "

Looks pretty cool, though it is a pretty daunting task to convince all gem developers to test/make their gems compatible.
Perhaps this could make http://devblog.avdi.org/2015/08/11/what-its-like-to-come-bac... easier ;)

Re:Rails 4.2.3 and 4.1.12 have been released
on Friday June 26, 2015 @12:20PM (#9785689)
I really like that the Rails team is pretty good at doing regular releases. One noticeable thing though is that ActiveRecord, almost, always has more fixes than the other Action* gems combined, understandable since its the most complicated piece, but I can't help to think of Ernie Millers ActiveRecord talk a few years back. https://youtu.be/yuh9COzp5voA
(A few of the things that he talks about are since then fixed..)
Re:Google Ends Page Speed Service

I've used CloudFlare in a number of projects, usually with great results. Though occasionally they have problems, but that's usually a local issue with one of their data centers.
One thing that would be awesome is if you could add a Google Analytics tracking code, so you could track how often their error page is shown.

I'm using toggl.com to track spent time on various projects in school/work (you can structure your time tracking by project and client). Really simple and easy, while it gives you a really nice overview for how you've "performed". For me, it was enough seeing where time was spent...

The main issue is, in my point of view, fragmentation.
If you'd like to watch both HBO and Netflix series, then you'd have to subscribe to two services.
