I'm not seeing any ERB here. Whatever blend you came up with could be done in ERB which just combines Ruby with HTML. Template engines like liquid are good for simpler use cases where you'd want your end users to write templates (

Haven't tried it yet but looks quality! Any comparable options for iOS? Not everyone in my household is on Android unfortunately Edit: seeing play:sub mentioned maybe I'll have to check that one out

I can only imagine how much slower using an LLM would be, especially when it only gives you a single answer which is not what you're looking for and you have to keep asking for "something else" I echo what others say, Kagi is

Nice write up, however personally I'd take ERB over Phlex a million times. Sure ERB is another DSL and some things are not perfect. But for the mark-up you write actual HTML instead of having to learn and get used to writing blocks for

What stops the larger manufacturers to run a smaller production like the one in the article? Sure their process is set up for larger volumes but if they wanted they could do smaller, experimental ones (which of course would be more expensiv

That and it's hard/impossible to monetize, so big corps and VCs are not interested

If that "bottleneck" is thousands of requests per second then it doesn't really matter for smaller deployments does it? (Which seems to be the target audience and not FAANG) I'm not a big fan when folks call out language

It sounds like you're looking for a project/task management tool rather than a knowledge base? Most complex tools have task types, some are customizable, some not - e.g. Jira would do what you describe?

THIS! Litestack seems great and probably partially paved the way for similar functionality directly in Rails 8 with the new solid* gems. Those plus litestream are a treat

And: > How types make easy problems hard Sure that's sometimes an issue with the type system itself (looking at you Sorbet) but also preventing the programmer from taking advantage of the flexibility, expressiveness and elegance the

Fair I felt similar about it. But then, I have looked at alternatives before they even offered their US locations (and also for a CA one) and couldn't find anything decent for even nearly the price. So we can pay a little more and get

Even the "few thousand" for a bit of extra RAM and SSD are highway robbery. Anyways to each their own, I also had things break and repairability isn't really a thing with Apple hardware (while it easily could be if they wante

It would be possible to encode the phone number in the QR code and just send a text, but then you could just print out the phone number and write "text me" next to it. Given that they have an app I'm sure the QR code leads to

How did you come to the conclusion that the mobile number is in play anywhere?! From what I read it says to scan the code and get a notification anytime it's scanned. Just looked at the android app listing and there seems to be somethi

I'm not sure what all of this has to do with the OP? The way I understood the submission is that if you don't have a doorbell - or especially a smart one - scanning the qr code replaces pressing the button. Others have mentioned t

Fully makes sense plus I appreciate the source right there in the title so you can use that as well to decide how trustworthy it might be. Well done

It works great with Rails but can be used with any other framework or without. You need some kind of server to render your website but it's all built on top of HTML

As long as AI is just hallucinating sh*t I don't think anyone needs to be particularly worried :) It's got a long way to go to even stack up to bad programmers that somehow are always able to find a job somewhere.
