I'm sorry you had a bad time with Rails but I don't find this to be a fair assessment. I've done Rails development for about 15 years and worked on over a dozen production codebases. > "all the magic" The "m

What about Rails causes this problem as opposed to other frameworks?

It's true of any Rails project that adheres to the great standards. :) Unfortunately many developers think they're more clever than the standards (and as a medium to display their cleverness, they find Ruby quite accommodating)

When I joined, it was Rails 4. Since I've been there, we upgraded to 5 and are now about to start migrating to 6.

Unfortunately no. I don't work in the field, but I just spent a few months there networking for business, and everyone is getting into the export/import business. Even housewives are making money just buying products at the local

The codebase I'm working on now is what I consider an exemplary Ruby on Rails project. It is 14 years old and still going strong. It is structured exactly like you'd expect a Rails project to be structured. The gems the authors ch

If what you said was true, then no one would have any privacy at all. But yet certain people have seemingly perfect privacy, like Satoshi Nakamoto and Jeffrey Epstein's employers. How? I now realize a lot of people on HN are hard liner

I'd feed myself nine times and eat leftovers on the tenth. Privacy isn't the most important thing in the world but it's shortsighted to just throw it out the window. You don't need it 'til you need it. It's oka

Could confirmation bias affect your analysis at all? How many companies went cloud-first and then ran out of money? You wouldn't necessary know anything about them. Were the scaling problems your single-server customers called you to s

Thank you. This guy is so transparent. You'd think self-made billionaires like him would have more shame. But they're happier to put their hand out than the vast majority of poor people.

No, I defined it already. You keep trying to show me that my definition isn't good enough, but you haven't yet established why that discussion is relevant to my main point.

Right, but that's missing the forest for the trees, isn't it? The implication of your answer is that you COULDN'T tell that the person is lying, because you'd be too lost in semantics to tell left from right. So, you fal

I see what you're doing, and I like it :) But what I mean by expose is to reveal to people that this person is a liar. What I mean by "soul" or "consciousness" is the common usage of the term. Essentially, this pers

How would you feel if someone created a simulation of you and then convinced your family and friends that you are no longer needed, and that your life could be terminated? Would you go willingly?

How exactly would you upload the consciousness of a nano-cell-converted individual without shutting those physical nano-cells down in some way? On a larger issue, does having a non-human organ affect your legal status as a human? Are people

Do you want to participate? For me the answer is simple: the most important point is that the man is ending human lives. So, he should be charged with murder and it doesn't matter what else he's doing in parallel. I can be confide

The writing suddenly became bombastically hyperbolic and poetic, with references to concepts the average person would have no context on. Sounds like religious fundamentalism to me. It was just interesting to have those two styles juxtapose

Look up Rubadiah, chapter 11, verses 80-90 for a passage providing a more thorough treatment of concepts such as Indivisible Essentialism, the Great Schism, and the Scale of Ethesius. Alternatively, research those subjects individually. Pio
