RSpec is not a "backfire" of Rails. It's a generalized Ruby TDD tool which has very little to do with Rails per se. The suggestion that RSpec was created to cover some failure of Rails strikes me as exceedingly strange.
Same here. AFAIAC, the default Rails setup has been leaning more and more toward a Basecamp-specific kind of use case, rather than the generalized tool it started out to be. Turbolinks messes A LOT with conventional…
But if you have a beef with how much of the domain logic is in the Model, don't blame Rails, blame MVC. I mean, come on. Either you want to use MVC or you want to go in a different direction. Fine. But don't blame Rails…
But this isn't a failure of "DHH/Rails" philosphy, it's inherent in the MVC paradigm. If we're going to "blame" something, we should be a bit more careful about where that blame actually lies. The disparity here is…
But you CAN trade Bitcoins for things, not just currency. You can trade Bitcoins directly for more hardware to mine Bitcoins. So it IS a reversible transaction, and Bitcoins are DIRECTLY (not indirectly) valued at…
The exhaust from your Chevy also doesn't have the "intrinsic worth" of the oil that it ultimately came from, either. Nor does the electricity from my solar cells have the "intrinsic worth" of the silicon they were made…
Quote: "...but since mining isn't inherently reversible its not an intrinsic value." It IS "value", because the resources used for mining have measurable value, and can be traded for things other than Bitcoins. It may…
