Rails seemingly handles it the same way as Laravel and it all makes sense very quickly. The argument here that you would end up with 'addresss' is silly as you can also quickly handle that with a new inflection and it rarely even

Small cars already exist. The Chevy Bolt, Nissan Leaf, Tesla Model 3 are small EVs for USA standards. VW Golf, Mini Cooper, Mazda 3, Kia Rio are more examples of smaller cars. They're just not as popular as SUVs and trucks in the USA.

To make matters worse, Apple killed off the web version too, and didn't replace it with anything. The Dark Sky website was brilliant as well. It loaded quickly, wasn't covered in ads, and the UX was comparable to their app. I have

Docker can be a pain sometimes (especially docker for mac!), but in moderately complex apps, it's so nice to be able to just fire up 6 services (even some smaller apps have redis, memcached, pg/mysql, etc) and have a running dev e

We used SVN in an application to grab a single folder and its contents from a repo on GitHub. It was the quickest and easiest approach at the time (that I knew of) and worked well. We switched a year or so ago to use git sparse checkout tha

We're using puma and set the RUBYOPT=--yjit in a systemd environment variable for our puma service. The performance impact of enabling yjit was quite obvious in our charts. Another giveaway that it's properly enabled is the server

Where I live, it can get very cold. Not always very efficient to open windows for 5 months out of the year. A great option for keeping CO2 levels down in a house is with an HRV (or ERV) [1] that will heat the fresh air coming in to cycle i

But it's likely they could have made money off of 3rd party apps. For some reason they didn't figure out how or didn't care to try. My twitter usage is so fine tuned to tweetbot, that I'm also just a lost user. I miss so

Shopify's monolith is Rails. They seem to be more involved with contributing to Ruby than any other company, contributing an incredible amount, including yjit and object shapes and more.

Having dabbled in dwarf fortress over the years, I think they did a really nice job on the steam release. It must have been a daunting project to streamline most/all of the features in DF. Congrats to the team on their success!

As far as I understand, you need to be using their "Verify" product in order to use the SMS Fraud Guard.

We've been using Graviton (and now 2 and 3) for our node and rails services for over a year now. Early on there was a rush to get everything supported (aarch64 compiled packages mostly), but now everything works just fine. We just swap

I think these charts are more informative, especially for Rails apps: https://speed.yjit.org/ Ruby 3.2 and production-ready YJIT feel like a big deal as someone who has been in the Rails and Ruby ecosystem for 15 years. Rai

It seems well designed, as it's an optional dependency as of now. > By default, YJIT does not get compiled and cargo/rustc is not required. If YJIT is built in dev mode, then cargo is used to fetch development dependencies, but

I like having haproxy in front of nginx (and other services) as a load balancer. It's fast, easy to tune/configure and cheap to run.

A 7.2kw level 2 charger using 32A is pretty standard, 24A would be slower than I'd want for daily use, and I own an older Leaf. Even at 32A, it's slow when you need to charge quick for any reason (top off for afternoon errands, et

Our family routinely gets close to our 1.2TB cap. Working from home contributes, but another big contributor is the Nintendo Switch and Steam. Both of them are constantly pulling down big game updates. If you have a PS5 or Xbox, it would be

In Minnesota, I paid an electrician less than $400 to install a 40amp breaker and run 6awg wire from my basement to the garage (maybe 20ft?) into a new outlet. I purchased my own level 2 charger and mounted it myself (another $600 at the ti
