Lovely stuff, thank you. It would be cool if we could eventually make use of RBS or inline Sorbet or something better than both to get the types for property testing for free.

I think it's unfair to label tmux "stinky". It is slower, that's true, but so many times I've had to restart my terminal or I've quit it accidentally and tmux has saved my bacon. Performance is adequate (for me

You could achieve that by properly fining company's when they are responsible. In theory their insurance costs would go up and fiduciary duty would compel executives to act properly. Most countries have the equivalent of corporate mans

In this scenario Apple is the great dictator from the 1984 ad and the EU is the British woman with the hammer. I can’t even get music I’ve bought, from Apple, off my iPhone and onto my mac without an extra recurring subscription. Apple aren

That's a very difficult question to answer without carrying out a proper study. Languages, libraries and frameworks constantly evolving so it's a moving target too. I think most people will just recommend the stack they know best

Nowt is a Northern English idiom for nothing. “Nowt taken out” was an old advertising slogan for Allinson’s Bread[1][2]. 1. https://www.allinsonsbread.co.uk 2. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=raJRe7J5m6g

I’m doing Ruby on Rails dev too. I don’t notice a hige difference between macOS and Linux for how I work. There’s quirks to either OS. Eg when on Gnome it drives me mad that it won’t focus a recently launched apps. On macOS it annoys me tha

Personally, I use tmux on both Linux and macOS to get multiple clipboards and the mouse behaviour I’m used to.

Not in the UK; Winston Churchill abolished “Road Tax” in 1937. We do have Vehicle Excise Duty but it’s not a road tax.

As far as I can tell most UK media has hardly covered this. It's sad but expected that the BBC have ignored this.

1. Ruby on Rails is a framework and not a language. 2. This is a straw-man argument. The premise that Ruby on Rails is "barely spoken of" just isn't true. Even a quick google will show that Ruby on Rails is still very popula

My advice would be to either start contributing to an existing FOSS ruby gem or to create your own for some specific purpose. That will allow you get familiar with the ecosystem so that you can hit the ground running and also allow you to p

Hanami is often used with dry-rb + ROM + Hanami as an alternative to Rails. My experience has not been with Hanami itself but with the rest of the Dry ecosystem. Upgrading a legacy app with Dry-Validation put me off using anything else rela

I'm using ruby-lsp and DAP with NeoVim and I know others using it with emacs so ruby-lsp really is a great boon to the community.

Autocompletion is getting much improved. In the latest version of IRB for example they can use RBS based static typing for autocompletion[1]. This gives me a lot of hope that we'll have a more widely used static typing solution soon.

I respect Guy Steel a lot but this argument is like complaining that b = 1 doesn't compare b to 1 and return a boolean. Lots of novice programmer think that's what equals should do based on familiarity with mathematics. Using = fo

Yes, it's popular enough that you can find work pretty easily. There's less openings than for JS, Java or C# but then there are less Ruby developers. That's the same as it ever was.

As well as its own plugins Vim/NeoVim can use VSCode's LSPs, DAPs and extensions either directly or via plugins like CoC[1] and Mason[2]. I would be surprised if emacs couldn't do the same. 1. https://github.com&#x

It's depressing as hell that a company like Nestle was allowed to buy a company like Roundtree. It's a reminder that no matter what a company's founder's principles are as soon as it goes public it's a target to hav

Another ruby/crystal project coming hot on the heels of crystalruby[1]. I can see that both have different use cases but it's interesting to see the two approaches. 1. https://github.com/wouterken/crystalruby

Listing cops with: rubocop --show-cops I can see that the NumericLiterals cop that's bothering you supports autocorrect so running: rubocop -A <filename> should fix the problem for you.

Yes that appears to be the case. If you run the single file example in the README it will add a directory called "crystalruby" with generated source code in it. So it looks like you could easily check that in with your gem. I don

Conceptually, isn’t that what a JIT compiler does? Crystalruby ia really interesting though. This has got me wondering: 1. How this compares to Sorbet Compiler in terms of performance? 2. If you could use Sorbet or RBS type annotations to d

Quite right. Hopefully they’re canny enough to provide that. I love my AirPod Pros. They may not have the best sound but having noise cancelling headphones I can keep my pocket is transformative. I love that there’s no cable to pick up mech

Nice. This is interesting and definitely something worth implementing. I hope you don't mind but I have some discussion points. If it were me, rather than monkey patching array I'd be tempted introduce a new dedicated Heap class

What makes that even more ironic are the number of people involved in that spat that were probably happily wearing cheap cotton products of dubious origin at the time. Actual modern slavery still exists and is sadly wide spread.

I think one of the most interesting things to happen to IRB is the recent introduction of static type completion[1]. The fact that this is a nice, mainstream, usage of RBS types in the standard library gives me hope that RBS or some kind of

It's not that unusual at all though. For a long period in the 90s and early 00s the main purchasers of vinyl records were DJs specifically just to mix one track at a time. I even have some single sided pressings with exactly one track

OK what do you think contributes to good "feel" of a bike frame, with regard to high frequency vibration, then? I mean what frequency would you class as road buzz? With that we could start to analyse what's going on. When I
