Well, Bootsnap only aim at speeding up code loading / boot, whereas the author of the JIT talks about something like 6 time slower boot, so I don't really see the relation between the two. Also since I'm somewhat part of the

>if forking a C compiler for generating code is "fast" I don't think anyone claimed this, even the author report a 6 times slower boot time. However the generated code once loaded is "fast". Also I haven't f

France only imported electricity from Germany in 2016 because a good part of the reactors had to be shutdown at the same time to investigate a dfect risk. But every other year it's Germany that buys France's electricity

French here. Besides the advantages you mentioned, the downsides the opposants talk about are: - aging power plants, we haven't build any in a long time and many are now passed the initial lifetime expetency, but can't be shutdown

That makes no sense to me. Most of what makes Crystal different from Ruby results from the former being a static language and the later being dynamic. I understand that dynamic languages are not popular these days on HN, but it's silly

The longest single test + the time it takes to setup the test environment (booting servers, etc). Parallelizing tests has diminishing returns unless you manage to dramatically reduce the setup time.

That is slightly inacurate, "Engineer" is not a regulated title in France. What is though is the "graduated engineer" (Ingénieur diplômé) title. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commission_des_titres_d%

That, and I also heard from an Airbus engineer friend, that airlines try to diversify their planes so that in case a specific plane model is grounded by the FAA (or equivalent) the impact is less severe.

Unions defends workers like lawyers defend criminals. They make sure your rights are preserved. Do you think people accused of harassment shouldn't be defended by lawyers?

They graph the number of incidents. Even if a bad release impact only 0.3% of the user base, it's still an incident. They have to investigate it, revert or fix the bad code and start the deployment process again.

That is mostly FUD. It's trendy to hate on Ruby these days. But yes, in Ruby there is a global namespace and open classes, so you can do pretty much whatever you want. But in any language you'll find bad libraries. I mean I can wr

Even in France that wouldn't fly. Milka lost this case because besides having the milka.fr domains, her webdesign was using a color close to the brand one. As a result the judges ruled that she was piggybacking on the established brand

It's better to have an activity log of your deployments, that way by querying what commit is currently in production you can compare it with the log and know what actually commit range was deployed. There is many tools to do that, e.g.

Having an actual rollback mechanism that brings you back to a known working version is usually way faster than pushing a new version, since it needs to go through CI / Build etc again. At my company rolling back is a matter of a minute

You are thinking of pt-online-schema-change or Soundcloud's LHM. Those are tools to modify the schema. Here they were modifying the data. But yes, it works the same way, and it's not really novel in any way.

Regardless of wether I agree or disagree with your critique, it has absolutely no relevance in the context of the current outage. You don't like Ruby / Rails we get it. But that's totally out of topic.

Why do you question Rails while the entire report is about Postgres only ? And as someone working on one of the biggest and oldest Rails codebase out there, I can tell you that in term of scaling, Rails is the least of our concerns. Sure it
