There's a big difference between Rails autoloading and Ruby autoload, in that Rails is implicit and conventional from the constant name plus load paths, whereas Ruby is explicit as one declares where to find each constant.

I've been smartifying dumb devices at home as well and came up with similar rubegoldbergesque solutions, although ultimately I didn't need to actually implement any of these as I found other ways to achieve my goals. One of them

Makes me think of other similar cases raised by typing systems. In my Ruby case this is RBS (+ Steep). A typical pattern is to use `__FILE__` or `__dir__` which are references to respectively the current file path and the current file'

An interesting read. I've been WFH for 5 or so years, I have the uncanny ability to be able to work anywhere, anytime, a sort of mind switch that flicks itself - or doesn't, and then I'm screwed - irrespective of location, an

Agreed. Ruby is not Rails in so many ways, even on philosophical grounds. Rails is full of magic, implicitness, and conventions, which enables a great deal of very speedy development but also becomes† a minefield if you steer away from The

I would disagree, tons of people out there develop backend code targeting Linux but do so on macOS machines. That said, this was not a particular jab at your comment, more like a clarification for readers, as a lot of people are somehow und

I really wish a cross site standard emerged to enable PRs from one forge to the next without creating accounts: - clone repo from original forge, push on yours - open PR on your forge, kicking in a like-blog-trackbacks-of-yore API so that t

The E2E protocol is immaterial, it's about what the endpoint app does and which telemetry it reports. Not saying they do it, again it's about trust in the context of: - Meta (the company, not the employees) having a bad track reco

Definitely a useful thing to do to validate UI/UX/fitness. Relying on blackbox components first mocked then later swapped (or kept for testing) with the real implementation is also a thing, especially when dealing with hardware. I

As I remember it the article was quite interesting notably because it also compared another similar category game released around the same time that chose DRM and yet had similar piracy ratios.
