US pedestrian deaths increased almost 100% the last decade or so... and the Cybertruck is the most hilarious car, a representation of bad US car standards. With its pointy edges, even in a very slow accident hitting a pedestrian, the outcom

They should integrate this to ruby-core and make it even better by changing the parser and making it faster in terms of performance, as optimized as it can. But I have a hard time believing ruby-core will want to hear community feedback...

I see a big amount of naiveness on his post, I tried to view it with a positive mindset, but I can't help myself and think how naive his perspective on that is. First, lots of server-side code is IO-bound, writing it in Rust vs. Java&#

Very little happened in Ruby since 3.2 or even 3, it feels stagnated. Still a very beautiful language from my point of view, but yeah, stagnation. Wish we'd see more action on RBS, perhaps getting Sorbet to core or something. At least

I'd guess about 20-50% overall productivity, given that only a fraction of my work is writing code. We have to spend a good amount of time organizing the requirements, as it never comes perfectly from product management, as well alignm

It prefer static functions and stuff we can quickly understand, avoiding big objects or a great deal of indirection. Don't tell Uncle Bob! Of course, you'd still need interfaces for DI, mocking etc, but that's pretty most of

Might be my own taste, but except a few of the common and easy to understand structural typing code, I find it sometimes actually make things needlessly complex. I also write lots of Typescript, and the furthest I go is to use 'Omit&#x

Nowadays it's very common to have .NET apps being containerized and running them on K8s or whatever you like in production -- I think you are relying on outdated information. It's also well-suited for that. Of course, you won&#x27

I'm a Ruby dev of almost 2 decades now doing C# and it's extremely fast to get a API with Swagger running from C#, a few mins tops. And this is if you spend just a little bit to learn it! Of course, if you expect a full FE+BE &#x2

There's F# if you want to go fully functional. Why C# doesn't have first class functions and can't go fully functional (and likely never will): Scala tried and its compiler is slow, even after so many iterations and new novel

Changed from Ruby to .NET and loving it. C# is a great language, it's now very modern and has the best parts of Typescript, while leaving out the bad ones. It's also extremely fast and multi-platform. It also doesn't have the

Excited about it, but I don't believe it will be good given the previous fiasco with the MAUI initial release. I hope Microsoft delivers though, we need more alternatives to React + RN or Flutter.

Everybody has found out how LLMs no longer have a real research expanding horizon. Now most progress will likely be done by tweaks in the data, and lots of hardware. OpenAI's strategy. And also it has extreme limitations that only worl

The measure of "output" is the problem. Output can be increased by more expenditures, not a real tangible benefit for the society. The US had 6.3% GDP deficit in 2024, meanwhile it's 3% in the EU. The US is growing on debt, a

That's what I've been saying for years. Waymo can just add the cameras exactly the way Tesla has, and train based only on that information. Now it has tons and tons of data, they could gradually remove the Lidar on cities that the

I'm also working with .net since recently, my own take: It isn't worth it, because those that already using it, will likely pay or migrate to a different solution. I wasn't a .net dev before, so I was surprised that it '

I'm sure if you ask Claude Code exactly that, they will develop what you want. Tell it to create an API for the LLM data ingestion, then integrate with it on your software. BTW, this is far from what an LLM Observability tool will offe

They are very useful. Of your example "High CPU" could mean you need either a bigger CPU, more cores in the same host etc. This will let you tune your application being run. Also, this might change in a time of burst traffic, and

This has been done by other companies in the space with much greater success and execution. I won't mention names, but you can look for yourself. They are way ahead in terms of execution from OpenAI. How powerful the LLM model is, is a

The victory lap from Sam Altman and all the money being raised makes people forget the following: - Open source LLM models at most 12 months behind ChatGPT/Gemini; - Gemini from Google is just as good, also much cheaper. For both Googl

Agree, people became extremely pedantic with words and it's incorrect to assume they only mean what is described in a dictionary, as if we are in a court. Language is fluid, and many of words got their very known & popular meanings
