People can cancel and boycott all they want, that’s not what this is. This is government censorship of an individual they want to punish which is not okay.

Given the timeline this is more likely a reversion to the mean following the end of zero interest rate policy.

BlockBear, Firefox Focus, Hush and Wipr on Safari mobile. And it’s still not enough, though from time to time I run into issues like this where it seems like I’m asking for it not to work. Thanks for looking in to it, I like the site.

I’ve been wondering about this lately since HN seems inundated with AI topics. I’m over it already and actually click “hide” on almost all AI articles when I load the page.

This resonates with me. I’m willing to pay for content for humans by humans. I am reducing my engagements with the web and technology in general due to lack of quality. It due to AI content, AI hype seeping through everything non-stop. Thro

Based on the headline I was expecting an ad. Spoiler alert, it’s an ad.

Agree. IT has forgotten that computing should enable more people to be producers instead of mere consumers. IT management cares about control, audit, permissions and expense - no focus on achieving productivity in the workplace and in man

What does this use LLM to do that one couldn’t do or would be harder without the LLM?

I really appreciate that innovation can sometimes reinvent things that exist out of pure ignorance and sometimes hubris. I’ve seen people turn mountains out of molehills that take on a lore of their own and then along comes someone new who

I would add that the artificial divide is purposefully made worse in corporate environments. IT and Data & Analytics departments put curbs on user programmable anything typically in the name of expense. However, I would argue that these

This is interesting, it this an experiment or planning to make it real? What markets is it targeting?

Queues are not a ruby specific thing, nor are they particularly pervasive within Rails apps. Having a good framework to handle them doesn’t make it the only tool in the tool belt. On the contrary, the fact that Rails has good tools to fit m

by rubyfan 1y ago
You’re not missing anything and are correct in that there are plenty of reasons to use queues and defer work that can be handled asynchronously outside of a request/response. This is not specific to ruby or any language for that matter

Don’t be silly. Bad choices are made in all sorts of languages and teams - this has nothing to do with language. High pressure situations can lead teams to make choices they don’t always foresee as bad until after they are paying the conseq

Yeah this is not the fault of ruby. Sounds more like bad choices that could be made with any language or framework.

I’m almost to the point of turning the internet off on purpose. The noise level is so high it’s almost not worth it anymore. (but I get this is geared towards communication resilience)

Yes, many people love programming in Ruby. It’s a matter of preference not some lack of technical merit. There are plenty of people who are well equipped in strongly typed languages that write in both. You might not know them but you really

I’ve been dreaming of a better contract writing tool for a while now. I’m not a lawyer but I draft insurance contracts and work with reviewing lawyers closely. As a former software developer I miss version control, partial includes, conditi

Who would have thought we’d be looking for a better experience after Google let search turn to a steaming pile of shit filled with spam, popups and clickbait while violating our privacy with every vector possible?!?
