Viewing profile — rurabe

Looks so promising, what's the timeline for something like MUI?

It's not perfect or painless but I think jsonapi-serializer is pretty good

Big fan of raw sql, but practically speaking (as it relates to developing with rails) CTEs can be rewritten as subqueries, the advantage being that they are linear instead of neste…

The problem here is that you are loading all the votes as AR instances which is fine at small scale, but as your app gets larger, loading and instantiating thousands of Vote instan…

One neat trick that I think is relatively lesser known is that you can select arbitrary sql expressions in ActiveRecord and those values are made available on the instances. (Also …

What about incorporating Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, and Russia into NATO? Ukraine gets the Donbas back in return for international recognition of Crimea as Russian territory. Fanci…

Honestly, I fear the resistance being too effective. Russia is on the offensive when viewing this conflict in isolation. Zoom out to geopolitics and it is very much on the defensiv…

The military endgame sadly is somewhere between a destroyed Ukraine in perpetual conflict and regime change, depending on the efficacy of Ukrainian resistance. Sorry to say, autocr…

H3 cell indexes are just integers so you can easily make a compound index of (cell_index,timestamp). This would be easy in SQL and I'd have to imagine just about anything else that…

Yeah each user gets the choice right now as a consequence of LinkedIn's product design. As far as I know, there's no reason it couldn't be "Log in to see this profile". I believe t…

Note that LinkedIn could make this whole issue moot by putting their data behind a login tomorrow. The 9th circuit decision pretty clearly stated that. The only reason the data is …

i mean he doesn't seem like he's gonna launch this as a startup so cynically why else would he go to all the trouble?

i mean thats actually fine, i think it's the copying + victimization thats irking me

yeah i mean same argument about why they shot harambe because some kid wanted to climb the fence into the gorilla exhibit. i actually agree that corporations have too much power ve…

dude literally emailed the ceo and was like yeah i used this component, but what else could i have used, and yeah i used this other thing i learned about from working there but its…

i mean you're right, he doesn't have to. but i'm pointing out that he's not being personally persecuted for no reason. doing literally anything else than open sourcing his employer…

overbroad patent trolls: yeah i agree this case: build literally anything else except for the thing that he paid you to learn how it works.

with regard to ethics, two plausibly valid options: either you believe that people should act ethically even if that means forgoing actions that they are legally allowed to make. i…

yeah patent trolls and frivolous lawsuits are definitely a problem, but this doesn't really smell the same. and i see your point, he seems to be within his rights to do this. even …

agree the ceo was pretty arrogant but you can still be petty if someone is asking for it.

pretty weird/low class move to build a free clone of the product you just worked on. pretty petty decision to threaten to sue your former intern for his weird move. also, threateni…

Thanks for posting this, I didn't realize there was a such a tangle of definitions as to what was accessed. That said, doesn't this pretty much include anything on the web? (a)Whoe…

The CFAA is a law about how you access systems, so this ruling defines "authorization" under the CFAA as "had legitimate access to this system" only. There are many other laws that…
