   I recommend whatching "Ruby3: What's Missing?", a presentation Matz gave earlier this month: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmOt9HhszCI This might be misleading. That is, jump to around the 29 minute mark wh

    Unfortunately, I think they learned that cities will bend over backwards for them and offer up tons of free data and tax incentives.

    I use DDG primarily now. I've noticed that I often get better results for my programming queries than from Google and there's always `!g` if I don't find what I'm looking for. On a side note: anyone else think Apple will

    I live in Utah and work remote (best combination for me). The local tech community is vibrant and fun. Every time I've talked to devs who have moved from SF they universally tell me stories about: 1. Ridiculous cost of living 2. Horrif
