Going back to the actual point that matters most, to me at least.
What's the total carbon footprint of the advertising and social media-based web? (Not just the highly optimised servers)
I've been #programming for 14 years now, have been using #PHP, #JavaScript, #ColdFusion, #Ruby, and whatnot, but holy cow, when reading the following chapter, I've literally been yelling "what the heck" at every second paragraph:
I mean, #PonyLang really tries to explain everything in depth, and I appreciate the effort, but while it works fine in earlier chapters, it confuses the heck out of me in this at length.
SO… I have this #Ruby app with a pretty small deployment, less than 20 concurrent users. Runs on a single server with an in-memory DB.
Its main entry point is a dashboard that collects and bends the data in a way that would be inconvenient to store in a DB in the first place.
Currently, I use a file based cache to speed things up.
I’m wondering if I should replace that file cache with an DRb server that basically wraps Concurrent::Map and starts along with the app.
My old man trait is that I think SQL is easier to read and work with than arel, active record et al. Unless you're making libraries, just write the damn query. #rubyonrails#ruby#sql#PostgreSQL#php#mariadb
Hey folks, we're kicking off a new pledge drive to accelerate the development of Bridgetown, an "alt #Ruby" web framework which starts off in the #Jamstack and vanilla-first, #HTML-first, #WebComponents-friendly development, but provides the ability to scale up to dynamic fullstack applications & publications.
Version 2.0 is underway with modernization, performance, and of course new features all on the table!
Consider sponsoring today to ensure 2.0 absolutely rocks. 🤘
The above link includes some of the bare-bones setup of #emacs for getting things done.
Thusfar, it's been rather pleasant. (And I'm very thankful to be doing this after the Python2 to Python3 even horizon, that sounded like some rather gruesome years).
The next installment of our Road to Bridgetown 2.0 series is here!
Announcing a solid set of defaults, such as #Ruby 3.1+ and #Node 20+, we believe will make Bridgetown that much more robust, appealing, and ready to tackle the #WebDev challenges of tomorrow.
While learning #golang or #rust or whatnot would be cool, using a scripting language for #AdventOfCode is preferred, mainly so I don't have to compile to get my answer.
I am pleased to announce a new version of my "Ruby One-Liners Guide" ebook. This ebook will show how to use Ruby from the command line. Includes examples for filtering and substitution features, field processing, multiple file processing, how to construct solutions that depend on multiple records and so on.
I would highly appreciate it if you'd let me know how you felt about this book. It could be anything from a simple thank you, pointing out a typo, mistakes in code snippets, which aspects of the book worked for you (or didn't!) and so on. Reader feedback is essential and especially so for self-published authors.
I just published my first gem, Phlex-Slotable. It is a Slot API for @joeldrapper 's Phlex lib inspired by ViewComponent slots.
I'm already using this on my side-project and it is working fine. I'm planning to add some features to improve its usage (eg. allow passing String as component class name). I'm putting off refactoring the code until these new things are ready.
I finished cutting a lab #sapphire a couple of days ago. Red sapphire is also known as #ruby. This design was a little bit above my skill level, but I am overall happy with my final results and enjoyed the experience I gained from trying it.
