I only used Bird once and have always thought they were not a great way of getting around. That said this is a real bummer to me. If commuting and mobility were much much easier the world would look a lot different for the better (in my opinion).
I hope there are more attempts to make getting around and getting to places you need and want to go easier.
Interesting. Do you think html generation is one of the things that makes the numbers look so good for 3.2 YJIT? We run a mostly json api only app. I think json serialization is notoriously slow in ruby so I was hoping yjit would speed it up.
Very interesting blog post! My best guess as to how shopify is able to achieve such large increases in speed is they have a lot more actual ruby code than most codebases (https://shopify.engineering/ruby-yjit-is-production-ready).
I moved from ruby 2.7 to 3.2 for a rails app and was hopeful that it would lead to large speedups like shopify claims it did for them, but was bummed to find it did basically nothing. Anyone else running a large rails app have a similar or different experience?
This is really cool. I wonder how long it will be till we have GPT-4 quality models that run locally (if we ever will). Would open up a lot of possibilities.
I am never able to find any good example projects that use it with react and aren't just a toy which is bit of a bummer, because I think that would be a great stack.
The linked blog doesn't actually include any details and is instead just a vitriolic series of paragraphs from what sounds like an angry fired employee.
It's hard to actually believe anything about this without having specific examples of what was done.
The title of this article really shows the slant in the reporting.
This decision makes a lot of sense to me and I actually think all universities should do more to encourage students to major in STEM. If taxes are paying for the school we should subsidize things that are good for America not individuals.
Now that electric cars that are relatively cheap have such fast acceleration the only reason to buy a car like a Porsche is for exactly this the old school cool feel.
If this were surprise news maybe, but this is the type of news that is priced in slowly over time and somewhat expected. Basically when sophisticated people bought uber a year ago one of the drivers of a higher price was the assumption it might be included in the S&P500.
A lot of things in finance and markets are self fulfilling prophecies like this, for example just look at the fed. They are the classic example of expectations > action.
I think it disappears not when you move away from SPA's but when you move away from some high interactivity features products that are amazing to use often have.
This especially becomes true for products that are expected to work in low internet zones.
I think this is probably just bad wording on the part of the author. But I do think it's bad wording partially caused by a messed up view of the world vis a vis pedestrians and cars.
