Just because there are people who still use it, doesn't make the statement that RoR was a fad less true. RoR was "the thing that everyone was using" at one point. It was that for several years. Anyone who's anyone was bu

Reason is simple - Ruby is not good enough and lags in many, many, areas. Ruby was an unknown till the RoR was introduced. And the reason why RoR was so easy and popular, was Ruby's biggest shortfall - excessive metaprogramming. The au

That one thing, RoR, isn't the best option at all today. The moment that XHttpRequest came to be - it started the countdown to RoR's popularity decline. HTML5 just made it permanent.

Not really. C(not C++) is better organized to understand how it will run on the CPU and how memory is allocated. Software engineers are engineers primarily, so we care about where our thing is going to run. Remember that Pascal was supposed

I'm sorry, but for me it seems that Go has is taking the lead in adoption rates for devops tooling. Ruby isn't the go-to language there anymore... probably because GoLang compiles statically.

People throw around the word invented a little too easily. Disney formulated a lot of paints to match specific needs, including to distract and draw attention. This is hardly an invention, even if the formulas are a trade secret. We use dif

You should try talking to people who work in customer service call centers, most of their calls are arrogant opportunists that aren't calling to fix any issues... but to get something extra. "This item is scratched, so I want a 50

I can't say I had a bad experience with my Amazon interactions. I have 3 free UPS's, that were wrong and Amazon just refunded me without requesting a return. And I even had a hard drive go back, because of degraded performance - b

I mean... The first one wouldn't be confusing, if it was plainly called Lincoln's Gettysburg Speech. So a Norwegian interpreter - who has no obligation to know of Lincoln whatsoever - can read it and reasonably interpret it as a r

> Silicon Valley Bank has detoothed a lot of criticism of the crypto industry The problem with SVB was not the same as what we get with FTX and Binance. Let alone, the promise of crypto is to "be transparent", and this proves t

By association. What do you think FTX is associated with? (It wasn't associated with traditional banking...) By volume traditional banking had more fraud and mismanagement, but it hasn't had literally years of massive headlines. (

Never having operated as desired and broken are different concepts. My square wheel isn't broken, because it's square.

We're also privileged to be closer to understanding the systems and solutions. That makes it easier for us to view the massive amount of issues with the ecosystem as not the core of the cryptocurrency "craze". Now imagine you

For all the great promises and actually great ideas behind using cryptography to ensure efficient flow of funds... it has become scammers' paradise.

No, not really. Good dovetail joinery, without machines that do it perfectly, take a LONG time.

Rough is a common antonym to well built. You're arguing for "how great it was a million years go". And I can place a good bet, that you had zero experience with woodworking... let alone green woodworking.

Our furniture is almost exclusively IKEA. While it's not the cheap stuff and movers never actually had to disassemble anything more than the bed frame, I have never seen "we don't move IKEA furniture" or any kinds of fur

This thread is most definitely an opinion thread. Which is quite misguided, as you still can go to many places on this planet where literally all of what you wrote is true. There are vast swathes of land on this planet, where you can go and

Whitewood boards are great and very cheap, but I would still opt for MDF. Kiln dried whitewood still produces sap and dents easier than any MDF I have worked with. By whitewood I presume you mean that mysterious asian species of wood, that

In the last 10 years I moved 9 times. Only 3 times of which were local moves and 2 were transatlantic. The movers would disassemble and reassemble whatever I paid them to move. Your movers are weird.

When it comes to US market, IKEA is only beat by the custom kitchens from the big box stores. Even midrange IKEA is better than Ashley or similar common furniture stores... not to mention that it's drastically cheaper.
