Ruby is much more than Rails and I think it's a little sad that a large portion of the developer population has no idea that Ruby exists outside of Rails.
i find it a little sad that the core people find it appropriate to ignore needs of a framework that brought the language from the obscurity it "enjoyed" for years to the front lines where it is now.
Your revisionist history is another thing that makes me angry. Ruby and Python were getting popular long before Rails and Django came on the scene so before you go running your mouth about core people ignoring the needs of people you should think long and hard about subverting the needs of an entire community just so you can develop another web app.
Human are associating machines. Learning requires a bit more because if it didn't then the AI problem would have been solved long ago by neural nets. What schools don't do well is teach people about meta-cognition which is how all learning really happens. Anyone can memorize a few facts and regurgitate opinions but few people can connect the dots and see the big picture by collating all the local pieces of information we are constantly bombarded with.
I don't get it. How is the selector relevant to what people choose? You might as well have put a different colored rabbit somewhere on the page and measured responses that way.
No. Stuff like this only comes with experience and it's more important to teach students about the fundamental and overarching themes of computer science than to pester them with optimization issues.
All these goof-ups by the FBI don't paint a pretty picture about the agency at all and I'm surprised some news agency isn't up in arms about their funding and incompetence like they are with the teachers' unions.
Its founding principle was that there are baddies out there who need a special force of investigators who have powers far exceeding the regular police and who collect dossiers on suspicious citizens rather than simply waiting for crimes to occur and then investigating.
In a certain sense, they aren't being incompetent, they're doing exactly what they were designed to do. The problem isn't the execution, it's the mandate.
I have no problem with the mandate. It's the clear lack of competence in intelligence gathering that bothers me. Who honestly considers anything said on reddit to be of any significant value to state security matters? They might as well throw a dart on some board and make decisions that way if they are so desperate as to use postings from reddit.
