I am waiting for the Rust-based Firefox :}

they have an FAQ item for that. But I would submit that the answer seems to be skirting around the issue of an actual (accidental or not) "finger" press.... Especially like when the cashier takes takes your coin out of the check presenter? Grab it by the edges, you say? Suure....

Q. Can someone accidentally change which card is selected on my Coin?

A. We’ve designed the button to toggle cards in a way that makes it difficult to trigger a "press" unintentionally. Dropping a Coin, holding a Coin, sitting on a Coin, or putting the Coin in a check presenter at a restaurant will not inadvertently toggle the card that is selected.

Well... I still look upon it with interest (although of course with not as much interest if it were here!).

about your question: admittedly, part of it might be rent-seeking (which would be systemic; I make no attempts at pretending to know everything about the banking system but I wouldnt be surprised). I recall Ben goes into the "why" a bit more in detail somewhere in the early part of his interview with TWiST: http://thisweekinstartups.com/thisweekin-startups/dwolla-ben...

A plugin from five years ago that hasn't been maintained in that time is probably going to hurt you a lot.

Unless it just does some simple, or basic thing. In which case, you're still hurt. But in a different way....

Wow. An actual critique of Rails??? +1!!!

I'd be curious - what do u use, and why? I've been meaning to look into getting my own blog restarted, but just haven't gotten down to the question of which static site generator to use.

I don't know about Firefox doing that on purpose, but the addon that I've written (Link Exposé) has seen several releases of firefox (19.* to 24.*) without having to do an (api) "update". It's written using the new jetpack SDK (now "Add-on SDK") - and there is a commitment to keeping that api stable.

on passion vs grinding: don't you think that this guy is presenting a false dichotomy here? Couldn't I (and I would!) lend to the guy who loves his job... AND is prepared to work hard at it?

a somewhat late response to all the application-tire/dread, perhaps?

...and use an f5 box. But of course.

Indeed!! I concur.

nah, it's not just you. "CS" would be? Counter-Strike?

I havent read those comments, btw. Knew something like that would happen.

yep. That's just precisely (and only) what it is.

some food for thought: for something that's still supposed growing in terms of raw numbers, the active usage seems to be going down??!

the only 3 things that will consistently bring users back: 1. utilitarian value 2. entertainment (fight the habituation battle or pace your users?!!) 3. community (and let's face it - "let's all sign up there instead!!!" is almost as easy as pie nowadays)
