To address that, a long while back I used a Markdown to Ruby Prawn to PDF generator. I could not find a generic mainstream tool supporting this…

Would you had precise kits references to share? It is quite hard to figure out what has cheap electronic versus what works. Thanks!

See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48231538 , they appeared to have everything you can have, and it wasn’t enough to prevent this.

I maintain a JRuby-based app. I looked into TruffleRuby a number of times but faced issues each time on that code base, so I could not get to the point where I was able to compare anything. YMMV!

I am considering doing something similar, but embedding “livebook” bits so that I can run code & liveviews right in the middle of my posts in the future. Curious to know if anyone went that route (or something similar) already!

What worked for me is “logitech lift”, one left handed the other right handed. When they are connected I set up my Mac to disable the trackpad. That + sport and standing desk, did wonder to me.

Most people salaries transfers & healthcare offers literally run on a mix of CSV and XML! CSV is probably the most low tech, stack-insensitive way to pass data even these days. (I run & maintain long term systems which do exactly th

This is not entirely correct. The EU actually does both — it sets regulatory frameworks and funds projects directly through several mechanisms.

Having used both worlds: a lot of the provided features come with strong vendor lock-in, and in most cases that not, with slightly stronger “local” engineering you can reach the same targets and needs locally. The more I work (started codin

An insider view: there is a major push in a lot of state related team & department at the moment to go “sovereign tooling”. With alternatives for a lot of stuff. This is not just a corner of the universe, most of us are switching tools

It is this, plus more: - the web tooling must react properly to this (as GH does mostly) - comments done at the commit level are complicated to track - and given the reach of tools like GH, people shooting their own foot with this is (even

Ruby 1.8 to 1.9 has been fairly hard, despite being a minor version change. Strings became Unicode, this broke tons of stuff. Also hash ordering. This caused quite a lot of work on the apps I worked on.
