I consider e.g. 'scope' to just be (slightly harder to test and follow) over a class method. I consider a concerns to be more complex and unexpected versions of a Module. I consider "render @foo" to be just an incomprehe

I think it'll be more fragmented. For one, because major language gain more features and such start overlapping more. Making them easier to move between. And secondly because we're now at that pendulum swing, where people realize

About that content: back in the days there were numerous podcasts about Ruby or Rails or both. That was when podcasts were hardly as omnipresent as they are today. There were newsletters, blogs, and every e-learning platform had many prime

You are right about Ruby. But what DHH does/did with it for Rails is of a different order. There, often, "beauty" is in the way. Hundreds (or thousands) of methods magically appearing from nowhere on a Record, by inflecting a

That ecosystem is crumbling too, unfortunately. Where, for example, in 2015 any SaaS or API would provide a gem (lib) to interact with it, today it's no longer the case. Modern PSPs, storage, search engines, etc almost all lack an offi

I've been doing fulltime Rails dev for some 15+ years. Rails (and Ruby) make tradeoffs, or just inherently have downsides that many newer frameworks, libraries and languages solve, or solve differently. For me, the most prominent are R

You are missing the point. Sorry for that. It doesn't matter if an email has a valid format: that says almost nothing about it's validity. The only way you can be sure an address can receive mail(today) is by sending mail to it. A

You missed my point, I'm afraid. I meant that it very much depends on the business-case (and hence laws and regulations) what exactly you'll have to verify, and therefore where you verify and validate it. Do you need an address

"It depends". If it's merely a hint for the user (did you make a typo?) there's no need to ensure "this is a valid email address". in fact: foo@gamil.com is perfect valid email-address, but quite likely (though

Even worse: Client-side validation and server-side validation (and database integrity validation) are all their own domains! I call all of these "domain logic" or domain validation just to be sure. Yes, they overlap. Sure, you&#x2

Isn't that all the more reason to educate, research and invest in this? Rather than forbidding it?

I agree that -without more knowledge- it's probably best to presume pornography might warp young peoples view of sex and intimacy. But isn't that all the more reason to research this and educate people in this? So that adults can

You describe pornography depicting underage people. I'm sure there's consensus on why that is bad. I was, however, questioning whether minors consuming pornography is (always, and/or provably) bad.

But is pornography dangerous for minors? Has it been researched? What "dangers" are there? Do these apply to all age groups of "minors"?
