A delayed response doesn’t mean it’s not automated, just that it wasn’t built to not feel automated. I worked on an automated reply system like this previously and we had intentional delays with randomness as well as variance in our respons

Fixnum#times isn’t a great example, I only used it since the parent used it to illustrate their confusion and quite frankly a concrete useful example is to complex for this format. ActiveRecord has changed a lot over the years, but as an ex

It’s not just about practicality. Ruby is using message passing, not method calling. This is fundamentally different and a bit foreign to the larger community. Then ruby layers syntactic sugar on top that hides this. Behind the scenes every

I think you’re right, but I also suspect that doesn’t clear up anything for most people as in my experience they generally don’t grok the difference unless they’ve already spent a significant amount of time in something like smalltalk or Ob

No, they would know exactly what they know now. Employers already report your earnings to both the federal and state IRS agencies and pay your withholdings automatically adjusted for your dependencies. So a simple form that says you made X

Liquid Glass is complete and utter trash. I pray Apple gets a clue and gives us a new better UI even if it’s just the old one.

Sam Altman made a post on Reddit in 2023 implying OpenAI had achieved AGI internally. Later he “clarified” it was a joke, however there was some speculation that he didn’t understand what AGI actually meant at the time.

In both cases it depends on the area of the state and how populous. Far southern Iowa near Whatcheer for example is mostly gravel with paved roads only in the cities and major highways, but by contrast nearly the entire corridor area is wel

We have 100s of queues processing millions of jobs in sidekiq queues at any given time. These are data and compute heavy workloads that take anywhere from minutes to hours for a request to be completed, but the UI takes this into account. U

Yes, yes, yes, everyone knows about Shopify and no that’s not the multi billion dollar monolith shop I’m referring to, but we definitely have taken some inspiration from their excellent practices. We also brought in a lot of best in breed f

Hard disagree. I work on one of the largest Rails codebases out there. Millions of lines of code running in a monolith. I have learned more in this shop about scaling, observability, mature system designs, zero downtime upgrades, deploys, e

Insider trading from congress, the senate, and the offices of the president is nothing new. There is a reason people have been tracking and mimicking Pelosi's trades for years.

Equity for pre-IPO companies is often tied to an expiration. If there is no qualifying liquidity event before the expiration then your equity disappears unless the company takes action to reissue your equity. That sometimes happens for peop

Software "design space is high dimensional" is true in that storage, latencies, processors, memory we just keep growing and growing. Given that, software should be faster and better than ever because the dimension where software l
