The captions are hyperbolic and quite funny, but perhaps funnier is the fact that our unconscious brains do have these kinds of reactions (though muted, of course).

From an article I read the other day:

"The cognitive revolution of the past thirty years provides a different perspective on our lives, one that emphasizes the relative importance of emotion over pure reason, social connections over individual choice, moral intuition over abstract logic, perceptiveness over I.Q."

This is a bit disingenuous.

1. It did not pass Angry Birds, but Angry Birds Seasons Free, which is a relatively new app.

2. The Free app list is more volatile in general.

Still, congrats to the developer on becoming so visible so quickly.


It's not really "blindly"; if you run `bundle update', the latest versions are documented in the Gemfile.lock.


Perhaps more technically, unbound methods _are_ objects (as are [bound] methods, procs, etc.).


You are right of course.


I've found myself in the situation, a few times, where it was necessary to run `bundle update' to resolve dependency conflicts. You should, of course, always thoroughly test your application before deploying production code after a `bundle update', but I'd hardly tell people to not "ever" run the command, especially if you have git-based dependencies that need to be updated.


Just to clarify, you can always run bundle update for a specific gem, instead of for every gem in the Gemfile (this is the behavior if you run the command without any arguments). Recent versions of bundler (>=1.0) are pretty good about telling you exactly which gems have dependency conflicts, so it should be pretty easy to determine which gem to pass to bundle update.


Just have the Gemfile.lock changes in a separate commit. Regreted it many times I didn't.


Heroku has had experimental Node.js support for awhile[1], but it's still just that, experimental[2].

Maintaining a voice is important, and style guides and guidelines are important in enforcing this; plus, most of the content herein is what _not_ to do rather than what _to_ do, so it's more about what the cookie cutter isn't cutting than what it is.


Consider users on touch devices, too. I'd generally avoid using hover effects, and if you must, keep them subtle and don't rely on them for usability.


Sorry, meant to upvote you but arrows are way too close/small and fingers too phat.

Somebody please give stephen an upvote.


You could up vote some of his old comments to compensate.


For point 1., Shift-J and Shift-K will go between the next item and load the page, so your flow would be:

  ⇧J ␠ ␠ ␠ ⇧J ␠
You could contact him about a preference to change the spacebar behavior between using "j" and "J", though.


Couldn't you just use protocol-relative URLs in your CSS files? (Or for that matter, absolute paths.)
