spleen | 1 year ago | on: Rails Is Good Enough
Rails is more than good enough - it is a framework fine tuned for productivity and quick iterations.
However, convention over configuration means quicker delivery for small(er) teams, but more discussions once more opinionated developers join.

Yes, this and some maps are not dark-mode ready, so had to revert.

Ireland and Malta are in the EU, both with English as the official language.
This is along with the fact that English is lingua franca in EU and wider.

3x increase when 3.0 is compared to 2.0[1]. I think it was largely achieved.

It’s just clumsy wording. The patient appeared physically fine prior to the EEG scan, otherwise he would have not been there in the first place.
spleen | 4 years ago | on: Prefer the British Style of Quotation Mark Punctuation over the American
Putting the period or comma within quotes (the US style) is like tucking your shirt in and then leaving a small part of it out.

Yes, it’s called Remote Desktop. :)

They are actually 64-bit floats (doubles) and unlimited integers in Ruby.

Oh, makes sense then.

I would recommend separation of those applications into respective sub-accounts. The hierarchy can be defined in AWS Organizations and you avoid resource overlapping of any kind.

I’d focus on crappier. :)

The update seems to have messed up the color profile on iPhone X. Colors are brighter, more saturated, more washed out and generally crappier.

October 27, 2010. Really? :)

Do they really release postmortems? I've seen them mentioning postmortems in incident statuses, but I've never actually read one.
spleen | 10 years ago | on: Why isn't 'American' a Language?
Vocabulary constitutes a language "façade" and it is often interpreted as the key differentiating factor between languages. Most linguists agree that the language is based in grammar and rules for creating sentences.
That being said, official AE and BE are pretty much identical and the same rules apply on both sides of the Atlantic. It is only logical that different words are used, because of the different contexts that people live in, but that doesn't mean that AE and BE are distinct languages.

The Ruby for Windows build is maintained by enthusiasts and is usually available within a day or two.
Nothing too alarming, since v2.1.4 is available: http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/

For example, it promotes use of concerns, which can easily go out of control. Then other people come with singletons, interactors or service objects.
Or, like Minitest, which is fine to begin with, but the sooner you switch to RSpec, you will be better off in the long run.
In my experience, these kind of tooling options tend to fire up almost religious discussions.
