At Georgia Tech we got a very small server space which was used in a few CS classes, it would have been large enough to run hubot. Your university might have a similar setup.

If you've got a static files you could still serve it using Heroku free. Put cloudflare or another CDN in front of it and boom you've got 24 hours of fast responses. Though if it's a static site why do you need Heroku? Kind o

I bought this game a few years ago. I learned quite a few things about vim. Unfortunately the puzzles in the later levels aren't very clear. I spent hours trying to figure out what on earth they wanted me to do. To me this was counter

Tenderlove, the super nice guy who submitted that PR is on Rails core. Too bad to hear he's part of the evil visible minority that you just made up in your head.

Austin is amazing! If you're in town stop by an Austin on Rails, great community. There's always friendly folks, companies hiring, and ususally some food.

I think there are a few issues. The first is funding. If you are an engineering manager and trying to ship product, you don't want a 25% faster Ruby VM in 10 years, you want someone to benchmark and optimize existing code in existing p

We sponsor Matz, Nobu, and Koichi. Of them Koichi works pretty much full time on speed. He implemented partial generational GC in Ruby 2.1 and incremental GC in 2.2. He also implemented faster keyword arguments https://bugs.ruby-

This is really really cool. Thanks for posting. I'm especially interested in memory usage right now. I wrote a way to generate load and measure memory impact on your app: https://github.com/schneems/derailed_benchm

I've learned to do this, but for me it wasn't obvious at first. At the end of the day if it's my PR, it's my job to provide the supporting evidence as to why that code should be merged and not some other code. If you res

This happens so frequently to me. I'll Spend an hour running benchmarks and then post a PR. Someone chimes in and says "method x is faster" with nothing to back it up. I have to benchmark again, and then my way is still faste

You can also run foreman if you're not on Heroku. Put your environment variables in a `.env` file. The environment variables get sourced only to the environment of that process and not to the __whole__ system

> 2.0.0 means no memory errors 2.1 has a totally new GC setup (generational GC). It is guaranteed to use more memory (expect 3~5%), but be MUCH MUCH MUCH faster. Typically you can trade off running one less Puma worker to decrease memory

I don't think they're talking about a released build, but rather building it yourself from source ( http://madcoderspeak.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-to-compile-rub... ) which is what all mac and linux users d

If you're still running a Ruby 2.1.0, 2.1.1, or 2.1.2 (i.e. less than 2.1.3) you're missing out on some killer memory optimizations. I saw huge savings in my production app when i bumped from 2.1.2 to 2.1.3. Also 2.1.5 is availabl

Generally if it's a large enough security incident and the fix is in gem land, we send out emails. At the end of the day, you're still responsible for security of your own code (and libraries), but we try to help.
