Re:PostgreSQL indexing in Rails on Friday December 27, 2013 @09:24AM (#6970676)
You can also create indexes concurrently, using `algorithm: :concurrently` when creating the index[1]. You can't create concurrent indexes within a transaction, so be sure to call `disable_ddl_transaction!` in your migration definition.

Re:Rails 4.0: Release Candidate 1 released on Thursday May 02, 2013 @06:03PM (#5647465)
What features are you using postgres_ext for? A lot of the ActiveRecord datatypes support is handled by Rails 4.0 (arrays, uuid, ranges, inet/cidr and macaddr are in Rails 4.0). I want to submit some pull requests to Arel to add support for some of the datatype operators

PS: I am the postgres_ext maintainer

Re:Flat UI DMCA Takedown on Friday March 08, 2013 @09:17AM (#5343511)
You can do that, but you perjure yourself in the process, and won't take it down permanently. I could take down Rails by filing a bogus DCMA, but I'd have a lawsuit on my hands if Rails decided to pursue it

If it's Xobni, it's been around since at least 2008, I wouldn't say the copied Rapportive

The comparable Dell panel was the same price last time I checked (which didn't have all the extra ports/webcam/speakers)
Re:Apple iPhone 5 US Carrier Comparison Chart on Friday September 14, 2012 @01:29PM (#4522833)
Thats the default option on store.apple.com. I jumped from AT&T to VZW, and they put you on the Share Everything with no other option
This is assuming that you believe that Anonymous got a hold of an FBI agent's laptop
Re:Joyent ending "lifetime" hosting accounts on Thursday August 16, 2012 @02:30PM (#4392849)
With REI, I think you need to re-buy the lifetime membership if you do not purchase anything at an REI store for an extended period of time (IIRC, it was a year)

This would be better if it used a template file instead of forking a whole repo.

Re:Startup Hackathon labels developers as 'resources' on Thursday June 14, 2012 @12:21PM (#4112065)
Potentially less than 50/50. The "entrepreneur" gets $1k, the rest of the resources have to split the other $1k. Doesn't seem that fair to me
Hell, the 3GS is getting iOS 6. What 3 year old Android phone will get ICS? Like you said, I'm guessing not many if any at all. Agreeing with your point, Android is heavily fragmented, with phone manufacturers having the final say on which software gets deployed to their phones. Many of them are going to use new OS version to force software upgrades
Re:Tmux, for fun and profit on Tuesday April 10, 2012 @12:01PM (#3822806)
One way we are going to get around this is that we plan to have a golden .tmux.conf that we will all use at DockYard, so that any non-standard bindings will be standard to us
