what issues do you have with ruby? it's the de-facto standard for meta-programming

I often use things like `define_method`, `constants`, `method_missing`, etc in select places.

last fun thing I did was adding `let` and `it` to rails's tests.

yes I meant I didn't see anything very old.

I meant that it's just copying the API format (e.g. probably to make migrating from the other service easy) which isn't uncommon (e.g. most of AWS services copied APIs)

not sure how to formulate it but wouldn't a great execution be very hard to reproduce? looks like it's copying the external API.

also looking at the other company documentation, it's different from the screenshots: https://docs.otonomo.io/docs/getting-started (archive.org history is quite limited so may have been scrubbed)

edit: yes those "screenshots" are very disingenuous: https://smartcar.com/docs/api#introduction

really liked appear.in until they added "sign up to create room" basically

s/Javascript/React (e.g. debugging works fine with stimulus/coffeescript for instance)

homebrew's performance is mostly network (git / http / https) and compilation times when needed.

also for some reason homebrew really likes to updates its index all the time (I think it got tamed in the newest version), but setting HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE to 1 helps a lot.

what's cool is that you can write your types in another directory / another repo, e.g. https://github.com/sorbet/sorbet-typed

not sure why they don't release it, it's been a few years already

so they are releasing security fixes with a new licensing agreement, wow glad I don't use any oracle stuff

aleteia seems to just be a catholic media:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleteia

seems like it's an almost official catholic source

I actually like master links better, they will at least try to be up-to-date instead of always behind. this could be discussed in a PR if you care

I removed it but I think quite a few people (including me) tried to make it work with postgres (I did a lazy attempt where the search doesn't work)

reminds me of the beginning of e-commerce with all kinds of shady websites before amazon, paypal and now stripe came.

gumtree is probably the one who is going to have to reimburse all those people.

depends on where you are going to, ideally you would go for 2.6. the vast majority of gems is compatible with 2.6 so it would mostly be fixing internal code.

the main change I remember would be the Fixnum/Bignum disappearing in favor of the Integer parent class [1][2][3] (which isn't hard to fix).

also if you are stuck on 2.3 you might have a lot of other issues too (like outdated gems).

account got banned :) (it's on archive.org though)

content before it gets fixed:

    Time for actual transparency.

    [list of servers, uname -a for each]

    root@[name]:/var/lib/postgresql# df -h
    [list of partitions]

    $ cat users.txt | grep [name] | head -n1
    @[name]:matrix.org|[hash]
    $ wc -l users.txt
    [~6M users]

    See you soon.

(affects whole site, even https://matrix.org, site is on jekyll BTW)

    require 'base64'; Base64.decode64("Z29vZ2xlLXByb29m")

very easy /s

time doesn't match exactly but that might be it: https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/incidents/3k7gtg4fml1p (https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/history for the list)

you forgot option B: raise prices, reduce costs

started using stimulus and loving it so far, got sick of react and jquery (trying to use plain js + underscore + my own "utils")

it doesn't export to the global namespace though:

    <script src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js"></script>
    <script>$</script>
    ReferenceError: $ is not defined

    <script>jQuery</script>
    ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined

markov chains are very simple at their core (e.g. simple version could be: take the probability of the next word given the known probabilities of words that follow the previous word)

it can be implemented in a few lines of code, that's the beauty of it: https://github.com/justindomingue/markov_chains/blob/master/...

obviously then you could take the previous n words into account, tweak the starting word, add randomness, etc.

now replace "word" with "state" and "probability(next state | previous state)" to edges of a graph: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54e50c15e4b058fc6806d...

and you got a generic markov chain :)

footnotes: p(A | B) is probability of A given B, e.g. p(rain | clouds) > p(rain | sun) :)

it's going to be interesting to see what is in all those insurance files https://legalinsurrection.com/2013/08/whats-behind-wikileaks...

my take on this is that's it's better focus on major actions taken during a mandate (and that's what people who don't care too much about politics do) to then inform the next vote.

that's why politics before the rise of the internet were much more formal, people remembered what was done and said.

now there is just so much noise it's very hard to distinguish the signal, which leads to people being influenced and directed into "identity politics" (are you yellow or green, blue or red, left or right, good or bad?)

yes and google does it too, which is very creepy and not useful to the user at all.

unlike the location history where I understand the use case and maybe search history. but all those should be disabled by default.

that was for shadowsocks I think (e.g. a powerful tool to escape the chinese firewall).

they even tried to DDoS github as far as I remember.
