   The phones exist and kind of work, but they’re not really functional as a phone. They seem to be riddled with issues affecting all but the most basic of functionality. For example web apps are supposed to be a big thing for the Librem 5 but

   Yeah, this is pretty much how the JIT works.

   Are you sure it’ll be awful? Sorbet ( https://sorbet.org/ ) is pretty popular already. It can statically check your whole project and dynamically check it at runtime. It also doesn’t add that much overhead so I’m not sure wha

   A lot of focus has been on this benchmark https://github.com/mame/optcarrot/ It has seen huge performance improvements thanks to the mjit but not quite 3x yet.

   This is why I still love Ruby on Rails. I can rapidly build something robust and throw it up on Heroku with no issues. I recently built a little thing for myself and had it built and hosted within a few hours. Rails 5 with webpacker and tur

   Do you think they might have explored options to reduce costs before deciding to discontinue the service?

   That’s the problem. The subreddit seemed innocent at first glance but was particularly awful upon closer inspection.

    Yeah, I understand single page app levels of JavaScript but why complicate things to save a few lines?

    I’m a young white man and I grew up in the Deep South (Alabama/Mississippi). I had just started eighth grade when I moved to a very small town in Mississippi. On my first day a group of white kids invited me to sit with them. They deci

    Reminds me a lot of ExtJS which is still pretty widely used by legacy apps so I’m not sure why everyone is hating on it so much.

    I was pretty sure we're still in the context of CS, which tends to be pretty lucrative.

    Personally I just try to avoid Python development because I hate feeling like I'm dealing with what should be a solved problem. Recently I had to work with an outdated Python Tensorflow framework and the only way we could get it to wor

    Definitely not. In Ruby I can immediately understand how to run a correct copy of any project because they all use bundler. Furthermore rbenv makes switching between specific Ruby versions for those apps trivial.

    You’re totally entitled to feel that way but I personally think the social pressure to work yourself harder than necessary is just plain wrong. I know that’s not a popular opinion here and that was my point. I met so many people while earni

    HN is probably the worst group to ask for advice. Most people here take their careers way too seriously. You’ll notice that most people here are telling you to do some specific set of actions but few of them overlap significantly. That’s be

    Making shaders with blenders visual scripting is satisfyingly easy to learn. Domain specific stuff seems to work quite well in that way.

    I’ve seen videos on Twitter of the Shopify CEO saying that Ruby’s performance literally doesn’t matter to them. That it’s easy enough to scale it horizontally and the benefits outweigh the cost.

    Interestingly the AI remastered version of that video has quite a few views. https://youtu.be/3RYNThid23g Might an AI capable of remastering DOS games have a similar affect?

    Elixir is pretty cool. You get all the power of Erlang wrapped up in a much more developer friendly language.

    There’s no silver bullet you’re absolutely right, but does that mean there isn’t room for improvement? Or that you shouldn’t try? Dropping all dependencies is extreme for sure but to argue against something as simple as vendoring is a bit o
