Not just somewhere, but in Rails World 2024 Opening keynote, and it was absolutely hilarious!

Especially with that meme he showed about vercel is laws +500% markup lmaoo

Don't be afraid of computers, don't be the pink elephant!

Take a look at Zen! It has vertical tabs

Same. And I only finally switched away when Zen had Vertical tabs. So I'm now on Zen because it jas vertical tabs.

Zen doesn't have tab groups yet, but vertical tabs are a far more important feature for me.

Rail embraced #NOBUILD starting Rails 7.

No pipelines, no minification, no nonsense, just serving js and css directly.

Hey.com works like this, and they reported nothing but improvement.

You don't need grid to get energy from the SUN.

Come to Tildes.net! We're comfy small community with a single rule: don't be an asshole.

Of blogger feels a strong need to add slop anywhere on their article, then their blog isn't worth my time.

Give ReactNative + Expo a try

> Make the best product possible

I disagree.

It's more of "Make a good enough product" with emphasis on trying ot yourself to see it's actually good enough. Finish up, try it out, then ask yourself "does this feel good to use?: or did you puncture your finger on some splinters?

The author has a successful business which he achieved following this mindset, so there is definitely merit in what he's talking about.

The author's main point is that too much of that data is shit, and thus following them will lead to shit.

This part is a highlight for me

> They’ll say “this user is 4.5% happy” and, okay, great. Now what? This numerical value sure is bullshit but it’s not even helpful bullshit because these numbers never explain why things suck.

> (Just look at the product and it will tell you why it sucks.)

And

> It comes down to this annoying, upsetting, stupid fact: the only way to build a great product is to use it every day, to stare at it, to hold it in your hands to feel its lumps. The data and customers will lie to you but the product never will.

I Cant't hide the tab bar without some userProfile.css hacks, while in Zen it has first class support.

It's more a matter of saving precious vertical space.

This sounds like saying Text, as a medium, is already destroyed. But as we can see, despite thousands of years of fraud potential, we still use text a medium. We're back to needing witnesses and corroborating evidence.

It doesn't have to be dangerous allegations. Fabricate a video of your country's dictator carrying a giant Boulder, with a flattering subtitle. This will send a message that videos could be deepfaked to such a degree.

Many, many people still enjoy Red Alert 2, which was released during the same time frame. The competitive scene is still active as well.

Hell despite missing tab groups, Zen browser is the only browser that finally had a "good enough" vertical tabs implementation, which allowed me to finally drop Edge as my main browser.

From the blog

> Low Background Steel (and lead) is a type of metal uncontaminated by radioactive isotopes from nuclear testing. That steel and lead is usually recovered from ships that sunk before the Trinity Test in 1945.

GDP that's concentrated in the top few % of the population.

The fact that despite 50% higher GPD and 30% less population there's still rampant homelessness is damning enough.

Bad comparison.

Public sanitation workers keep our society functioning, they're a cornerstone of civilization.

Online prostitution, on the other hand, ranges from providing 0 value, to extreme negative consequences, such as the current porn addiction epidemic, or the loneliness epidemic.

Straw man. No one singled anything out, this thread is specifically talking about one topic. In many other threads you'll find people discussing the extreme negative consequences of social media.

Completely irrelevant and without substance comment. You don't even know the parent but you an unsubstantiated claim for the sake 9f argument.

Lack of interest in AI is a pro for me, not a con.

While that has to be done, it doesn't have to be the developer.

Electron provide a solution for that https://www.electronforge.io/

So you whip up a web app, throw it into the forge, and bam you got your binaries.

And the entirety of India (until the Brits arrived) was "controlled" by the Mogul Empire, which was mainly Muslim.

Even Spain/Iberia had a huge Muslim population, until the Reconquesta Kingdoms committed large scale genocide and deportions of Muslims and Jews.

And speaking of Unexpectedly Muslim, the Golden Hord (AKA Tattars) which existed on the Crimean region as one of the offshoots from Genghis Khan's conquests, was Muslim. In fact, they allied with the Mamluk kingdom of Egypt against Holugu, leader of another Mongol horde, Ilkhanate.

Ease of distribution is what made Electron so dominant (in addition to being familiar to web devs), leading application providers literally bundling an entire web browser just to display a single website.

Here's your use-case: providing a saner alternative to Electron. The Qt solution is more performant than the current solution.

Ruby is real fairt tails magic, and using it makes me so happy. Ruby makes me feel like Cinderella in her dress, except there is no midnight time limit. And the carriage os Rails.

Ruby also has the cleanest syntax of the three. Php and python are downright ugly in comparison.

> if you just hired a straight up incompetent developer, they will likely end up writing unmaintainable spaghetti no matter how much they're pushed in the right direction

I'm currently dealing with a laravel app. Said app has an 18,000 line "AdminController", and a 7k lines "WebController"

These contain all the logic. No, I'm not exaggerating. Model files are empty, save for 4 lines of model declarations. It's a whole CMS written in a SINGLE FILE. of course, such a dumpster fire can't exost without copious amounts of copy-paste, of which there indeed hundreds.

I'm talking multi-levels of nested if conditions, each with many branches, and said branches are very well over 10-20 lines of code that only differ by a single word.

And I won't even get to the disgusting mess that is the view templates... Let's just say they follow the same principles as above, except the original developer was unfortunately constrained by having to create a separate view file for each controller method.

I agree. I do rails stuff, and recently I've been doing some laravel stuff. Ruby+Rails is just so much better than anything PHP could offer. Rails feels much more ergonomic than laravel, and the syntax is much cleaner.

It feels like Rails developers are just absent from all these online discussions because they're too busy living happy, fulfilling lives.

Every time I have to work with another technology, I end up wishing it could be done like Rails.

Rails's drawback is that with enough before/after filters it feels like logic is hard to grasp, but it still turns out to be better than any alternative I could of. The laravel middleware approach is much more cumbersome and less powerful.

A nice example is the recent reddit-google deal which gives google' crawler exclusive access to reddit's data. This just serves to give google a competitive advantage over other search engine.

You are describing the problem. Minimum lot sizes is a problem caused by over reliance on cars.

lol. Kagi exists and kicks the ever-loving shit of the garbage bin that is google search.

So no, ot doesn't require VC cash to build something useful for people.

It's good the EU doesn't have a big player. Having big players is like having cancer. The EU has a functioning Immune system, the US is buckling under its immunu-comporomised ass. The resources ~~cancer cells~~ big players are extracting aren't going to the people.
