No state has the right to exist, that thought terminating cliche makes no sense legally or philosophically. States are recognised by other states, with no legal rights involved. Also claiming that a call for the end of a state is a call for

You can also set up DNS records pointing to your home server's VPN IP, which, with Tailscale, I've found to be pretty static and then a reverse proxy on your home server. So I have my home network apps running on app1.my-domiain.c

That's certainly not a criticism that could be levelled at Giantbomb, considering it was started when its founder, Jeff Gerstman, was fired from his job at GameSpot for giving a game a low review score while the developer of the game w

Thanks, I'll let my team know. Sorry I meant to say "I've been thinking about building a Once style project" I've just got a couple of not very well fleshed out ideas at the moment. In terms of licencing it's i

It's simply not true that "regular AR calls are painfully slow." In the context of a web request, the time spent instantiating Active Record objects is negligible. For example, on my laptop: Customer.limit(1000).to_a complete

It's been widely understood in the Ruby community for some time now that metaprogramming—like in the example above—should generally be limited to framework or library code, and avoided in regular application code. Dynamically generated

This is an interesting project! I'm going to recommend it to my team at work, since we've been moving to try to self-host more of our services. I've been about building a Once-style project myself, how do you deal with tracki

I recently read The Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson, and one of the ideas in it that I thought was very good was replacing our cargo ships with wind-powered ships, basically giant sailing ships. In the book, they were incred

As a long time Ruby developer the only thing about Ruby that I wish would die is people declaring 'Is Ruby dead?/Ruby is dead/Ruby isn't dead'!

Ruby will probably never again be the most popular language in the world, and it doesn't need to be for the people who enjoy it to be excited about the recent improvements in performance, documentation, tooling, ecosystem, and communit

Between Rails At Scale and byroot's blogs, it's currently a fantastic time to be interested in in-depth discussions around Ruby internals and performance! And with all the recent improvements in Ruby and Rails, it's a great t

This was written by the recently deceased Noah Gibbs. The site is now under the control of his widow. It's a great course and I'd encourage people to check it out.

I think it's a combination of a lot of things over the last 2ish years: 1. Ruby 3.0 and YJIT have provided huge performance gains for the language with further improvements still left to be implemented. 2. Ruby releases new versions ev

I didn't mean to imply you didn't know that stuff, I just tend to write comments from the basics for anyone unfamiliar who may be reading. Yup I would expect it to have an (extremely small) boot time impact. Though I don't th

The gem isn't freezing instances of the objects, but rather the classes themselves. In Ruby (nearly) everything is an object, so for example Array is an object of type Class. Classes are also open by defualt, allowing them to be altere

The new getting started guide is great. Chris Oliver is a great teacher. Afterwards, if you want a 102-style tutorial, I'm a big fan of https://www.hotrails.dev/ . It goes step by step and explains how Hotwire works and

I find that a 6-month-old JS project will often not even boot since its exhaustive dependency list will be out of date and now mutually incompatible. You have to feed a JS project with updates every couple of hours, or it will die like a Ta

In languages I'm most familiar with, you can't access variables defined outside of the function within the function unless the variable is a class or global variable. So for example in Python you can do: >>> x = &quot

Manim is incredibly cool, but my biggest takeaway from the video is how insane it is that Python apparently lets you reference a variable in a function that was defined outside the scope of the function.
