a) they don't like Ruby for whatever reason, b) they probably only deal in backend or only deal in frontend, and so don't understand the value of the bundled dev experience rails delivers, and therefore c) because of a + b they find the moderate learning curve to be extra painful, so they lash out.
at the end of the day it's all just code. why would it be harder to integrate a service in Rails than in Go? of course it isn't.

1. Package managers are very hard! The same problems wrt dependency resolution pop up again and again. Whatever you do, I recommend uhm, copying whatever Yehuda et al did for Ruby, Rust, Yarn, i.e. bundler/cargo/yarn
There's lots of prior art out there, and a few days of reading can save you months of terrible effort! Here's one example but there's loads more out there https://yehudakatz.com/2016/10/11/im-excited-to-work-on-yarn...
2. Namely, I don't see any lock files! I didn't look very hard. But get yourself some lockfiles. I also can't stress this enough.
3. Packaging signing really needs to be baked in from the get go, re: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19733085).
Good luck!
the harm isn't consumer oriented, since it's somewhat diffuse, it's about concentration of market power in the industry.
we could live in a world where you target one distribution platform, and phone vendors compete to police malware, but instead we have walled gardens that police content & economically lock you to their environments and don't even do a good job about malware
Só aí à dois anos é que aprendi que o eucalipto que tanto cobria o mato ao redor da aldeia, quando eu era pequeno, não é natural na europa.
We had nothing to do with that feature! We legit joined just now. But it certainly demonstrated a certain synergy between our skillset and GitHub's feature roadmap ;).
It's tricky, it's definitely not the bleeding edge like it used to be but – if you already know the toolset well, it does a good job at what it's meant to.
having hosers abuse your free geoip service listed off the first hit from google is nice but the data being provided can't just be "hacked together" :P.
I'm one of the Rubysec maintainers.
If you're reading this and you know about vulns not present in the advisory-db, please submit a PR to the github repo, or use the crappy form we put together: https://rubysec.com/advisories/new
I too run a vulnerability notification service, and it's frustrating when other people use public data but don't contribute back.
To be charitable to you, maybe I'm just really underestimating how many people are chomping at the bit to gtfo;
having been self employed for "forever", it's hard for me to empathize: mid career A player at the goog probably could've made the switch much earlier, if leading a startup was what was in their heart of hearts.
> new startups would be a status step down for them.
No, but highly paid executives can always go to a higher status company; similarly, if you were status-motivated but also a well placed mid career goog eng…
it's not clear to me you _needed_ a sweet bonus in order to switch to your startup, ya know?
>executives do switch companies somewhat routinely.
I think the theory of what I'm trying to advance is, what is good for the goose is good for the gander.
I personally feel I would be rather loyal to someone paying me fuck you money, but then again I'm well into my own incredible journey, so it's possible I'm now blind to status incentives relative to working at google.
It's possible I've not seen them, but seems curiously absent in the discourse to me.
Do you have large workload spikes, or traffic spikes?
>Why weren't we funding the ACLU to help these people?
Well, I think that's easy to answer. People care more about causes when it affects them personally.
For better or for worse, few of us are strict utilitarian maximizers. I haven't quite settled how I think about it, myself.
The cultural cannon is rather large and you're likely steeped in it whether you realize or not! Pierre Bayard rather humourously explores this in "How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read" https://www.amazon.com/Talk-About-Books-Havent-Read/dp/15969..., to wit:
The important thing behind the cannon isn't that you necessarily have consumed every bit of the media but that you at least know what position it occupies in the culture and your position relative to it - what signals your peers send when they discuss a given piece of art.
The most accessible example of this is watching The Simpsons or Family Guy: most of the time you see them make pop cultural references they're, arguably, pointing to entries in the cannon.
Lol. Give them time. Here's two examples off the top of my head, in my city: http://urbantoronto.ca/news/2015/07/aura-illuminates-downtow...

The thing that keeps me away from AWS services is the depth of the service - I need to be an expert in AWS on top of knowing how to configure my servers, which for now is maybe a non starter.
It does show you the power of packaging: with a simple domain and thrown together marketing page, you too can target another market segment.
No, you're still gonna be able to dim your screen and mute your speakers and yes cancel modal dialogs.
After the first ~300 pages, I began to understand how all the stories fit together and the book went from feeling like work to being a page turner I just had to devour.
I think I can empathize with your view, now.
Your mileage may vary, but as a mere mortal I personally find it much more reassuring when the role of luck is recognized.
Too many narratives are akin to:
"Well, I worked very hard every day without stop and tho I struggled at first - with how hard I was working - eventually the fruits of my labour yielded this unbroken string of successes thereby reaping my just deserts"
is fairly consistent with
>chock[s] it all up to chance
A little humility does great for ego burns.
The fourth amendment establishes that "[t]he right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated"
Roe v Wade literally invented the legal right to privacy in the US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roe_v._Wade#Right_to_privacy
Off the top of my head:
In the US: the fourth amendment, Miranda rights, the right to abortion, various efforts to decrim gay sex.
Here in Canada, Trudeau père famously said "there's no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation", adding that "what's done in private between adults doesn't concern the Criminal Code"

I can only think of module mixins. Everything else (blocks, anonymous functions, syntax sugar) can be roughly approximated (i.e. generics), since I strongly doubt the book would use any of the metaprogramming features.
