> "JUST USE RAILS FOR NOW." That could also be reduced down to "JUST USE RAILS". Why not get the best of both worlds where you finish projects AND be happy about it? The "for now" makes you think it's a

Yeah, a bunch of years ago $200-250 would get you a really nice card relative to what's available at that time. I lost my invoice for my video card but it's a GeForce GTX 750 Ti. I'm pretty sure it was around $150 went I got

I think things could be seen as a little pricey nowadays compared to ~25 years ago, mainly due to video cards. I built about half a dozen machines from parts since 1998 and it was almost a constant to spend $650-800 for a mid-range machine

I'm on an 8+ year old workstation with an i5-4460 (quad core, no HT) 3.2ghz, 16gb memory, first gen SSD and I also don't feel the need to upgrade. All of the web apps I build inside of Docker with WSL 2 reload in a few dozen milli

Yep, this is very well put and tracking on the same page as what I was thinking too. I've done contract work for a bunch of small businesses (1-50 dev team sizes) and the amount of bangers I've seen are quite high. It's a who

> OK so does this mean that OSS is vulnerable by default ? No, but I don't think that's a fair comparison. An open source tool or app is open source by choice so they have an advantage of knowing what they're getting into.

They say no customer data was compromised and are investigating "potential impact" to customers. The potential impact here is an attacker now has access to some of their code which could let them find and take advantage of vulnera

I think this is purely a personal preference but I also think there is a bias towards list comprehensions being more difficult to mentally parse. I do a lot of contract work and chatted with a ton of folks ranging from beginners to veterans

It was more about the comment I was replying to around a use case where historical data is important to keep around. Marking it as inactive with a boolean makes you lose the context on when the inactive toggle happened. Chances are you wan

I think there's still a spot for deleted_at or deleted_at'like functionality. It's around historical data, especially in a work scenario. For example a worker might create a thread and then 38 other workers reply to it. There

Yeah I'm not sure why their post is so heavily downvoted. You pay property taxes or you lose your home. You also need to build your house to an exact specification that your local government came up with, of which you have no control o

RSA SSH keys are starting to become phased out. Ubuntu 22.04 for example won't let you SSH into another server using an RSA key unless you configure your OpenSSH client to continue supporting RSA. I noticed this even with an RSA SHA-25

This is looking really good. By the way if anyone ends up benchmarking Ruby 3.2 using Docker please be aware that the official Ruby image with a Debian base does not enable YJIT. It may not be included for 6+ months or more specifically not

If anyone is curious, end of life for Windows 10 Pro and Home is October 14, 2025[0]. We have a bit under 3 years to get Linux's gaming support to match Windows without needing to delve into using KVM with a GPU passthrough as a crutch

I haven't done any low level profiling. I ran my test suite 5 times with 3.10 and then I did the same after updating to 3.11. It was an extremely informal test but 3.10 consistently took about 25 seconds where as 3.11 was finishing in

It depends on what interests you. A couple of criteria would be what programming languages or web frameworks do you want to hear about? Also do you want to hear about solo devs or large companies? If you want to hear about large companies,

I also don't mind feedback like that. It's just hard to take action on it because it's 1 data point. For example, I also record video courses. Tens of thousands of people have gone through them and I've gotten a handful

Thanks. Using filler words is one of those things where it's easy to notice when editing or listening to it later but near impossible to notice in the middle of a regular conversation. I do try. You are right. I do come into each episo
