Render is another good option. I too prefer Fly for my toy apps, but it has a little bit more of a learning curve than Render.

I too find Claude for Rails to be really helpful, except for some of the newer features in Rails 8 for which there is a lot less documentation. I use Claude within Cursor and it has the ability to at-mention documentation so any time I run

I agree this is something missing. I wish the framework had it. I bookmarked this to try out soon: https://github.com/igorkasyanchuk/rails_db I know there are a few other projects like this which I’ve seen over the yea

I find this fascinating as well. And I think it’s because part of the ruby & rails cultures are to deliberate cultivate delightful touches in the language & framework. This creates a positive feedback loop that has kept the “honeymo

Ruby has Sorbet if you want to add typing. And better concurrency constructs for Ruby are in the final stages of being backed with Fibers. For example, Falcon is the new Ruby web server that’s built with Fibers. It’s not quite ready to repl

I think we need the other senses for cognition. The other senses are part of the reward function which the cognitive learning algorithms optimize for. Pleasure and pain, and joy and suffering, guide the cognitive development process.

Thanks for the correction on this. I always thought BSD and the various Linux flavors were all derived from Unix. But reading up on it, it sounds like BSD is a derivative of Unix whereas Linux was simply modeled off of it.

My last question is more specific: can a language be designed with a syntax that is not yodaspeak yet still maintain the power of lisp?

Yes, I’ve been wondering if this is the core tradeoff. Especially as I compare Arc to Ruby. I love the readability of ruby code, but it’s easy for the meta programming to become very difficult to read. The language is quite flexible, but it

I should have said: desktop linux / Gnome. That would have been the clearer analogy. But I don’t think it’s as simple as “who do you want to hire.” It’s not that hard to learn a new programming language. I have a hard time believing th

Value isn’t zero sum, or more accurately, most spaces are not winner take all so there is room for multiple great companies to be built. Every company I’ve ever started, I even make a point of reaching out to the competitors in my space to

Shoot, you’re right. I see what the issue is. I need to investigate this and fix it.

I don't know of many great rails codebases to study and learn from. But over the years I've learned a lot from the example code that 37signals has published (from Basecamp and Hey). I cleaned up all the code examples I've sav

I love it! I’ve been circling around a similar set of ideas, although my version integrates with the web-based ChatGPT: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38244883 There are some pros and cons to that. I’m intrigued by yo

I like the improvements they've made. They polished things up a bit. But it's hard to know if it's the UI that's buggy or if it's the server infrastructure. I've been getting lots of cloudflare errors and seein

I'm trying to decide if it's worth cleaning up the code and publishing this. Is it something that would be interesting to others? It's still pretty buggy, in part because ChatGPT itself is buggy, particularly these past few d

Thanks Eridrus for this. Your clustering approach looks promising. I've been chipping away at this with a more straightforward heuristic based on parts of speech, just examining a hundred questions at a time. It turns out that filterin
