Wouldn't it be something if the title of this article was: Nigeria suffers national power outage as gov't refuses to negotiate with labor unions on minimum wage

Nice catch. I'll need to do some reading to figure out the best way to actually handle the string safely.

In this small example we lost a lot of the safety, but for a larger library I'm hoping you could still keep most of the safety of Rust and just expose a smaller subsection of "unsafe" code.

This is incredibly exciting. Way to go Rust team!

> In the early part of the Industrial Revolution the rewards of increasing productivity went disproportionately to capital; later on, labour reaped most of the benefits.

This whole article is BS. At what point in history has labour reaped most of the benefits of any industry?

Ruby was a little-known project before Rails came along. Without Rails, we wouldn't be having this discussion at all.

Thank you for being the first comment (I've seen) that actually looks at some amount of data. It's hard to read "most Rails people are moving on", "Rails and Ruby don't find the new web model" and "node.js is replacing Ruby" over and over without anyone saying how they're coming to their conclusions.

My thoughts are the same as yours... Ruby and/or Rails aren't going anywhere anytime soon. Just think, Rails powers the site that stores most startups code. It may not be as shiny and new as it was, but there's still a lot of usage.

I made a RubyGem for implementing this with Rails not too long ago: https://github.com/jaredonline/google-authenticator

Correct, it's only proposed.

Yay! Now I'm just patiently awaiting my invite [-;

It looks like this is a private version of Path, and if that's the case, this may be just what I'm looking for! I'd love to ditch "social networks" and have my own way to store my moments and memories in the cloud on a timeline. I just don't want the rest of the world to see.

With a .tar.gz you can verify a checksum.

Homebrew, rbenv, rvm, to name a few. Never understood it either. If you could get ahold of a domain write a malicious script at /some-script.sh, you could do a lot of damage.

Thank you someone for bringing this up. I can't believe how many actual reviews (not just meme's poking fun at iOS6 maps) have missed this crucial point. This isn't about Apple trying to somehow hurt Google by rolling its own maps app, this is about Google not giving Apple full access to their maps.

Is the lorem ipsum on your homepage on purpose?

Isn't this what the Tor Project is all about? https://www.torproject.org/

Because all apps are free on Heroku until you up the number of dynos you're using. Nothing in this stack, out of the box, costs any money.

Edit: And I didn't think to add "for free" to the original blog post.
