But what do you mean, give me a real example. You loaded too many active_records in memory and it's using a ton of ram? Did you try pluck, batches or even skipping active_record and using a raw query? Unless you really need to scale fo

Doesn't matter if SQLite is now viable with rails, no legacy rails app is using it and it's not like you're going to wake up one morning and migrate your production db from postgres, mysql, sql server or oracle just because y

There are plenty of businesses that have under 10k users and can live perfectly well with http requests around 500-1000 ms. When there are performance issues, 95% of the times they come from the database, not the language.

Modules (mixins) are objects, classes are also objects (of type Class). The Kernel module is included in the Object class, which means its methods are available to every Ruby object and can be accessed from virtually any scope, including th

I think you're unto something. Totally anecdotal, but my father owns around ~10 houses and small apartment buildings in Canada. I think he managed to acquire them all through mortgage refinancing or something like that I really have no

For what use-case? Because I've been developing in ruby for over 10 years now and it has been the optimal choice for a ton of companies I've worked for. The lack of static typing is a feature for a lot of people.

I honestly can't believe you're being downvoted when you have the most sensible answer here. The government here in Canada created MASSIVE supply of money out of thin air to keep up with the US and put almost 1/3 of the popul

The fact that you don't believe me blows my mind a little, not going to lie. Maybe this will convince you a little more? https://refactoring.guru/smells/comments

The problem with this argument is that it's implying that there is no such thing as clear code. Sure some people think their code is clear when it is not, but that shouldn't stop you from striving to write clearer code. A long tim

For every fervent user of X, I can find you 5 zealous irrational haters who are 100% convinced that X is just a religious fluff and that there is no way it's actually better than Y (what they are using). I have in fact, been guilty of

do you have data to back this claim?

Exactly, let's first acknowledge there is a problem, then we can find a solution. Complaining for complaining is not helpful, but don't dismiss problems because no one can think of a better solution at the same time.

Assuming your question wasn't sarcasm. Literally everyone lie to themselves about one thing or another... Including me, and probably including you.

You are aware that oil as an industry probably lifted the most people out of poverty in all human history right? Think of all the plastic you see in hospitals and ask yourself what would replace that without oil. It is so useful and valuabl

I just had somewhat of a burnout last winter and left my job. I'm lucky enough that I could take a couple months off to get back in shape mentally and physically. Invest in yourself however you can, that means doing some sport you love

Only in a team of slackers. Some people are intrinsically motivated to do great work and be productive. They don't need fake dates to get things done.

It's only absurd if you think that countries ought to behave like people in a society. All the laws and rules of societies serve one purpose, to keep themselves stable. The abstraction of Justice doesn't apply outside of society,

You seldom want to become an expert in a single technology. It's doable, but you're putting all your eggs in the same basket. What if the technology becomes irrelevant in 5-10 years? Get good enough to be proficient and become a b

I didn't write my choices to start debating them with people. People are more than what you or I think of them. Be mindful of your reductionist view towards other people. You have done that 3 times in your reply. 1- Here's a video

Lex Friedman just released what I consider his best interview so far, just listen as much as you can if you don't have the 3h. It's insanely good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sY8aFSY2zv4

If I remember correctly he's been advocating for socialism a lot in his late years, which I think would be even worse than what we have today and would naturally descend into totalitarianism like it happened so many times in the past.

Well, I suggest you search them on youtube to have an accurate representation. They all have multiple interviews available. I will probably butcher them and it's not going to be exhaustive, but from the top of my head: Peter Thiel: His

Yup, I think that his views on how governments and bigco operate are spot-on. Manufacture of Consent was eye opening for me. I disagree with him politically. Also, anarchy is not so far away from libertarianism.

Reading from the comments, I'm astounded that the recruiters seem to think interviewing for a job is a one-way street where only the employer should validate if the employee is a good fit for the employer. I'm literally investing
