Article nicely written, great overview of Rails current state. Kudos to the author.

Hello Marius, I reached out to you by email or Feb's Ask HN, did you get my email? seb[at]saunier[dot]me. Thank you!

Personally, I am really happy to see the following items landing in Rails 8:

- Solid Queue & Cache by default (no need for Redis)

- Propshaft as default asset pipeline (retiring Sprockets)

- Basic auth generator (will Devise still be useful for new apps?)

- Kamal by default for new applications

Simplifying Web Development and even more sane defaults in Rails makes me really happy!

ankane’s gems are truly something.

Scalingo is a great European-based Heroku alternative, reusing the buildpacks and 12factor approach, it’s very easy to migrate to!

We did: https://scalingo.com/customers/le-wagon

It's not: https://twitter.com/dhh/status/1334916143010680833

For those on Rails, do yourself a favor and add this great engine: https://github.com/ankane/blazer

Life-changing!

As suggested, encapsulate your prediction model in a web service, then calling it from Rails would be a good way to go.

An other way is to use something like Faktory (https://contribsys.com/faktory/) on top of Redis. You push jobs from Rails and then you pull them from Python to execute. Then Python can enqueue another job with the result which gets consumed by Rails (async callback).

I have the same experience with Sinatra and Rails. A small app in Sinatra grew larger than expected so we added gems basically recreating Rails... Lesson learnt, going with rails new now!

Did you try using a safety pin to remove dust from the USB port? Works everytime with a bunch of friends who had an SE but could not charge it properly.

Still works on macOS Mojave, and I use it everyday. True email client not relying on any third-party API / company to work.

We have been using Front since 2014 at Le Wagon. The goal was to be able to handle our contact@lewagon.com inbound email as a team (3 seats in 2014, 7 now). I considered Zendesk but it felt a bit too overkill for our usage.

You can view Front as a shared Gmail Inbox where you can assign messages to teammates and have private discussions on top of email threads.

They recently added Front Chat which we used to replace the Intercom Chat on https://www.lewagon.com - This way the team only uses one tool (Front) to handle incoming chats or emails.

We've been a customers for 3+ years and are really happy! Congrats on the Series B!

At Le Wagon, we had the same need for our students, but we took advantage of the built-in Rails Templates features. Super handy!

Back online.

Must-(re)read: http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/hatethenews - it was 10 years ago.

"Learning to code is a way to rediscover a simple incremental approach that we once had as a kid and that we’ve lost a bit from higher education."

So true.

If you still want to come, please send me an email to seb@saunier.me and let's talk!

Hi guys, if we have at least one non-French speaker we'll do them in English obviously :)

Thanks!

For the first point, we had a debate on wether we should expose the tests to the student as it would:

1. Maybe help them to find the solution 2. Allow them to change the tests just to make their solution pass

In practise, we realized that error messages from specs do not necessary reveal the solution (point 1), and for point 2, we decided to trust the students (they are adults, in a paying bootcamp), and it works actually. So no need to put spec overwriting / hiding.

For the second question, we are running a simple rake runner (see https://gist.github.com/ssaunier/9713130), launching the tests in a specific folder and parsing the result. We are not doing isolated environments with ruby install / bundle install like TravisCI does, so it is suited for our simple use case only.

Hope that answers your question!

This is an old topic. https://gist.github.com/justinko/2838490

Right! I really like the Raspberry suggestion and future Mailpile integration. Would like to see a big "Buy" button here to just order my raspberry Pi with everything setup and easy update. I think that "easy of use" would be a key point for such decentralized tools to beat Dropbox & Co

I did the same study for French ruby on rails developer on Monday. Here is my report (in french): http://sebastien.saunier.me/blog/2013/10/17/realite-financie...

A pause between 2 jobs should be at least 2 weeks IMHO. But for your own company, I'd say you should start right away? Aren't you excited? Can't you stop yourself from thinking of it all day long?

You could go for a trip while working as you are now free.

Don't need to scrape it, just use their API:

https://api.github.com/users?since=0

And iterate on. They even give you a HTTP header for the next URI:

Link: <https://api.github.com/users?since=135>; rel="next"

There is a rate limit of 60 (per hour), but if you use oauth then it's 5000. See http://developer.github.com/v3/#rate-limiting
