That sounds like a job for phuby! https://github.com/tenderlove/phuby No, not really.

RAM is finite whether you're using it with Redis or Memcached. Redis provides multiple databases (0-16) for just this situation. Use one db for caching, another for Sidekiq, and another for ad-hoc tasks. Redis can also be configured to

Every high traffic site leverages caching to some extent, no matter what language they run underneath. That may be varnish reverse-proxy caching, in-memory caching, fragment caching, browser caching, or most likely a combination of all of t

No, that hasn't posed a problem in my experience. Note that all of the stores rely on Ruby marshalling underneath. To my knowledge Readthis is the only cache that lets you choose something else like pass through, JSON, Oj, etc. You wil

Redis is perfectly well suited to storing html/json fragments. It is as fast or faster, has built in clustering as of 3.0, has customizable expiration behavior, and is probably already used by your infrastructure. Most of the ActiveSup

If you're using Readthis[0] for Redis caching you can use an alternate marshaller to avoid the size and performance overhead of marshalling all objects through Ruby. If you aren't using Readthis you really should, it's faster

A request with dozens or hundreds of `fetch` calls will always be slower than a few `fetch_multi` or `read_multi` calls. All of the current ActiveSupport compliant libraries support both calls.

I've been partially remote for the past 5 years, averaging 2-3 days a week in the office. During that time I've also had stints of being fully remote while overseas for a few months at a time. The fully remote time is vastly more

That's exactly the space that Crystal [0] seems to be exploring. Statically type checked and pre-compiled via LLVM. So it isn't the Ruby designers themselves, but definitely Ruby flavored. 0: http://crystal-lang.org&#x2

Stan Wawrinka is also a single backhand player who just won the French Open, denying Novak Djokovic in the process. There aren't many of them left, but there are a few prominent examples.

Elixir's syntax also gains a wonderfully consistent AST, which enables all manner of meta-programming and macro writing. Sometimes there are practical benefits to syntactical choices beyond the pleasing aesthetics.

The .exs extension and mix integration makes elixir better than one might expect for scripting. It doesn't get to ruby or perl territory, but definitely good enough for scripting to keep code homogeneous in a project.

I'm not vegan at all, in fact I'm quite the carnivore. The trail of links just leads somewhere unexpected if you're coming from a demoscene page. Separately, my apologies about mistaking the language and location.

Hilariously following the links lands you at http://www.theprodukkt.com/ , which is the site for a German butcher shop. Avoid the link unless you like giant images of thinly sliced meat.

I came to this expecting something about the movie. Instead I was rewarded with a staggering amount of history on the scam every one of has had perpetrated on us.

The entire browser is built on JS/React. I'm pretty sure that is an indicator of the rest of their philosophy.

That's like claiming any two C syntax inspired languages are the same because they share curly braces, semicolons and naming conventions.

Don't have a citation for this, but I recall hearing that Square runs JRuby in production. Separately, the start time makes JRuby awful for TDD/Dev, but once it has time to warm up in production it is vastly faster. Scan back thro

My exact gripe with nearly all of the new wave in email clients. I'm aware most people are OK with Gmail, but I'm not--surely IMAP is worth supporting too!

Thanks for bringing this up. I've seen and heard it mentioned before and never took the time to seek it out.

Using a library like Oj[1] it is vastly faster to unpack JSON in Ruby than it is even to use the built in marshaling. It's extremely portable, performs well and is easy to debug. There really aren't many practical drawbacks to usi
