Science can only "lead" you to that conclusion if you already think in specific philosophical ways. In this case it sounds like you are presuming materialism.

> So if science leads you to the conclusion that life has no transcendent purpose (and it does) How does it lead to that? I feel like that's a false assumption that many people make, religious or not.

I generally feel the same way, but I've found Rails's testing setup is convenient enough to mitigate that uncertainty with relative ease. Writing some 3-5 line tests for each feature you write (which is necessary regardless of sta

This isn't unique to Rails apps. You'd have code organization tensions in any complex app you write. Fortunately, for whatever you decide, you can create as many folders as you want in `app/` and Rails will detect & autol

What if you need do anything significant with your money in those 7 years? Like rent an apartment? Have a car to get to work? The debt doesn't just magically go away. Chapter 7 requires liquidating assets, and chapter 13 requires payin

Bankruptcy negatively affects your credit score by a large amount, so it's not exactly an easy decision.

Interesting. How many computers/servers/etc are involved in those queries?

I was pretty hype on GPT-3, but got doused when considering its cost. Aside from the $4-12 million to train, just how much energy does it cost to run a query?

As another avid Rubyist, I have great interest in my editor autocompleting code in Rails.

Sure, but it's still not the core issue. If racism were magically solved overnight, very little would change. You'd still have these corrupt systems exploiting the weak and poor.

As someone who started with Rails in 2010, rode the JS/Node hype train for 5 years, and now working with Rails again: I was one of those guys that blamed Rails hard for encouraging bad code. But now that I'm a much better softwa

Agreed, Sidekiq is great and I don't imagine anyone switching away from it for existing projects. But I can see GoodJob being better for spinning up new projects, as there are fewer moving parts to worry about, and it's easy to up

I was thinking "what's the point?" until I reached the section on equality: #{ a: 1 } === #{ a: 1 } //=> true This is massively useful.

This is the exact sort of thing I love about the Rails community. Always innovating to keep things simple.

That trailer is phenomenal. The sheep-flying presentation, the music, the audio-visual rhythmic beats, the humor... truly fantastic artistry.

Fantastic work! Datalog/Prolog are old-yet-futuristic technologies that I wished every developer knew about, as it solves a lot of problems in very elegant ways (as attested to by this post). I noticed you (assuming you're the aut

Exactly. Everyone needs to study the history of the Friedman doctrine before parroting statements like that.

Wouldn't doing that imply we expect police officers to behave the exact way they're behaving now? How does that help? Isn't it better to expect police officers to provide an actual benefit to society, and construct laws from
