Which implementation are you referring to? The Go package uses crypto.random and generation blocks if the system can’t provide enough randomness. It’s possible to override this with custom implementations, but either ways it’s no less secur

So this receives the full HTML page and does a near-zero-damage “morphing” as opposed to Hotwire which either does full page dumb replacement or asks you to define which sections to replace? Does that sound right?

DHH recently introduced Hotwire https://hotwire.dev/ which already does something similar. Any idea what the difference is?

I assumed the post was referring to the annexation of Crimea, that was mostly bloodless.

Without condoning it, that wasn't an all out war. It's a really complicated situation and seems more like a political action. Less people were killed than in the Capitol breach, don't think anyone is referring to that as the

There are notes in Sapiens proposing that war (the violent kind) is no longer useful / does not produce outcomes because the global economy has shifted from one of physical resources to knowledge based. That it no longer makes sense to

That seems unlikely. Remember that we’re talking about the fringe here - Republican grandparents looking at pictures of their kids and sharing broccoli casserole recipes are not getting kicked off FB or Twitter. Neither are those discussing

I’m pretty excited about the GitHub Sponsors feature opening up worldwide, think it can actually help foster a culture of contributing back to the people whose work we all use. They’ve got an interesting page where they show you all the spo

We should, but we should have assumed CI software was an attack vector since before the solar winds hack. It’s always been a vector. This hack doesn’t change anything.

Yeah, it would be pretty snobbish / country club-ish. Think it might make more sense to keep it free and open to anyone, moderate out off topic or unsuitable discussions, and maybe charge for an associated job board.

by sudhirj 6y ago
Yes, but that’s a big if. It’s also simply possible that Solarwinds has their TeamCity admin account password set to ‘password’ and accessible on a public network.

I was just planning to start exactly this, once I have a big enough audience at https://sudhir.io - would you expect this to be paid and moderated, though? Would $25 per month be reasonable if I restricted it to senior level mem

Yeah, Rails doesn't currently strongly analyze what it needs to do. Based on my experience with it, I remember that it either 1) checks out a connection at the beginning of the request into a thread local / request context and rel

Isn’t sidekiq working off Redis? You might be adjusting the Redis concurrency instead. And if I remember correctly even with sidekiq you’re still using normal Rails and ActiveRecord, so a process that’s running 25 sidekiq jobs simultaneousl

It depends on how knex is used. If it gives you a method to run a DB query, and internally checks out a connection, runs the query and releases the connection, then it’s already doing exactly what would happen with a proxy. If it or you are

I'm not familiar with specific implementations, but from what I've seen with Redis and Postgres clients there's always a reconnect hook of some sort, which I assume pooling proxies give you as well. We've had plenty of b
