lol, the trans-pacific route was pointless. Portugal monopolized the Indian ocean and spice trade for more than 100 years. It established the atlantic triangle trade of Africa (sup…

Both are true. Different camps meant that any significant change to the language was scrutinised loudly. If my memory doesn't fail me, the last significant changes from the time Gu…

Maybe I wasn't clear, but until now there were 2 types of type notations being debated, RBS and sorbet/RBI. Sorbet adopting RBS means that's the lowest common denominator. Typing i…

Happy bday ruby! For the usual doomsdaysayers saying "ruby can't X so I left it for Y", when X is typing, RBS is becoming the accepted standard (now that sorbet supports it),and RB…

Static typing has come, there's RBS, which has (finally) coalesced (after adding support for inlining in code) as the blessed type notation, supported by both steep and sorbet. Con…

Lmk when the app launches, will beta test if for free.

What is the real problem being solved here? For all the issues that bundler still has, rv doesn't seem to address most of them. Bundler has been fast enough for a while now, how fa…

The listen gem works on windows: https://github.com/guard/listen?tab=readme-ov-file#listen-ad... . Not sure whether guard builds on top of it.

Bear in mind that: the author is part of the ruby core team; json is a standard lib gem; the repo from the json gem was in the original author namespace; the repo had no activity f…

I wonder whether the reason for this is a lack of available certified oauth libraries on top of which to build a provider at the time it was built, which led most of these examples…

OK, I see I skipped that. Nevertheless, I would expect users to read "exactly once" and put an http call in the step. It's the type of knife people their hands with.

> DBOS has a special @DBOS.Transaction decorator. This runs the entire step inside a Postgres transaction. This guarantees exactly-once execution for databases transactional steps.…

That's not true. Sure, many hot path functions dealing with tensor calculations are done in numpy functions, but etl and args/results are python objects and functions. And most web…

As someone who evangeline Arel where I used to work 10y ago, I can assure you that arel has *never* been considered stable (it also never followed semver), nor has it ever been con…

The rails core team would tell you NOT to use arel, as it's private API. The conceptual compression of having activerecord be a database table mapper, entity class, form/input vali…

Now do principal and distinguished.

In ruby, the sequel database toolkit is vastly superior to activerecord, and that is a subject of discussion here and there. The difference is that rails is what most rubyists use …

FYI rbs-inline is maintained by the rbs creator, and will eventually be merged into mainline, once the inline syntax alternatives are set in stone. All to address the main complain…

No, they only have time for features and productivity, which is, as you pointed out earlier, what rails is good at.

Calling Cortes genocidal is also quite farfetched, considering that he conquered the Aztec territory, despite being vastly outnumbered, because every native tribe and settlement th…

China can produce most things cheaper than anyone. Economically, it's pointless to compete with them. However, if too many think the same, you get bottlenecked and compete for acce…

Oh I don't dispute that. Despite the documented atrocities, the number of.native deaths by disease are greatly exaggerated, Charles V did write the precursor document of the human …

Spain still working on the national identity while not reconciling that its two most famous sailors were a portuguese and a genovese. You can see it in claims like these or the int…

You're focusing on the quantity aspect of the metaphor. Reinvesting can not mean only more bricks, but also better. But quantity also may helps sell them cheaper than your competit…

Indeed. Portugal got by in Europe while it could advertise its services as significantly cheaper (Italy and Greece did the same). Romania, Poland and all will live to see another n…
