Exceptions are not the issue, Ruby's inherent "cleverness" is. Whatever problems the original commenter has with exceptions likely stems from this.

I don't think that's what the commenter is claiming. I think they want to be able to sue the companies who indirectly benefit from this kind of spam, which is pretty ridiculous. However, crypto has become such a menace to society

Can we please stop pretending that Ruby/Rails is in any way a good choice for software that needs to be safe? I do understand that it is what it is and GitLab has to deal with it, but going forward, can we stop pretending a language an

What are the chances the United States (and others) follow suit? For startups, I assume most will continue to live on the App Store lest they force their users into two different experiences based on their location.

I just love how we can have a critical study about a failure that could have possibly led to the death of dozens if not 100+ people, a failure in something as routine and critical as flying in an airplane, and the article is behind a paywal

Could not agree more. Older generations wonder why younger generations are "quiet quitting" and using all this anti-capitalist rhetoric when in the same breath they're sending HR goons (great term for it) to do their dirty wo

It's funny that they're using peer-to-peer to literally mean sending payments from one person to another, rather than it being the technical definition. I wonder if it's a marketing gimmick to make people think it's more

But usually, when we want to build The Platform, it at least has some unique utility or offering that would solve a real problem. But I guess that's just not the case here.

Am I missing something critical here? Why would people want to send payments over Twitter (I understand it's X, but I'm using Twitter to emphasize that the product is still, exclusively, a microblogging platform with some audio fe

I wonder if it would be a good idea to move the whole HATEOAS thing towards things like desktop and mobile apps. Might be a fun experiment.

The entire reason this is a big deal is that people don't know what their dependencies are. The left-pad incident wasn't a big deal because it was pulled, it was a big deal because no one could easily fix their builds and didn&#x2

I think those are two different scales. Libertarianism <---> Authoritarianism Capitalism <---> Communism Usually the sweet spot is somewhere in the middle of both, which is what the United States is (though some may argue we&#x2

>The burden should be on them to ensure their child is not consuming porn This argument is essentially that it's acceptable for websites to show porn to children if their parents don't care or are fine with it. It's a horr

I feel like a lot of the comments here are said ironically but would actually be wonderful for much of society. Very tired of the libertarian arguments when they obviously don't work.

(Unrelated to the OP - but I've been so frustrated by this for so long that it's worth the [flagged]) A product like this is exactly what I've been looking for with pretty great pricing. The one thing that this (and most prov

With Twitter being worse than ever while also implementing the paid-for blue check, I'm no longer convinced that nominal costs solve much of anything. Maybe it's a different model (per email vs per account w/ Twitter), but I

It's strange that I have the opposite feeling while consulting. I work for a "big tech" company and do consulting work on the side, and it's the former that has all of the Slack/Zoom/Agile/meaningless nons

Wow! Im amazed at how fast and pretty Bluesky is compared to other web applications, especially Twitter's.

You're right - I should have clarified that I'm talking about new projects - as in "Why would someone choose Postgres over one of these distributed SQLite providers for a new project?" (I'm sure those use-cases exis

These two companies have pricing models that I just absolutely hate. On one end of the spectrum you have Supabase - a very Vercel-esque "developer platform" with tiered offerings that ensure that you're paying more than you&#

I'm glad there's a spiritual successor to Apollo, but it's not entirely about comparing one cost to one cost. - Spotify: $10.99/mo ($132/yr) YouTube: $13.99/mo ($168/yr) Twitch: $11.99/mo ($144/y

Apollo is one of the few reasons I shell out the $100/year for an Apple Developer Account. If someone is even mildly technical I'd recommend going the Sideloadly route for getting Apollo, ad-free/background-play YouTube, ad-f

While this is incredible and I can't wait to use this with HTMX, I really wish it didn't require a CLI to generate the *_templ.go files. Code generation is something I saw in Flutter/Dart a lot and it entirely killed my inter

I thought it was just the marketing trying to show off too many features at once, and I'd really like a more workspace-centric approach to terminals, so I gave it a download -- unfortunately the actual UI is worse than the screenshots

EDIT: Nevermind, I somehow totally missed the "beta" plastered all over the place. I just gave Orion a try because of this HackerNews post --- what a buggy mess. I've already seen three crashes using it, mostly by bookmarking
