This edition covers the last two weeks of 2023 and the first week of 2024. It is extra large and packed with information about Ruby 3.3, merged PRs for Rails 7.1, and Rails 8 and Turbo 8 plans.
Plenty of Ruby jobs around, and good thing with hype gone, you don't have to compete for the jobs with a bunch of brogrammers. You'll get the jobs if you're good enough.
> It is very much in Russia's interest to make sure ultra-nationalists become the dominant party in this
Honest question: How is this in Russia's interest? The paramilitary UNA-UNSO helped fighting the Russian military in both the Abkhazian and the Chechnya conflicts, according to their own account.
Not true. The barricades are guarded by the "Right Sector", who will only let their own ranks come near it to, quote, "[not] to prevent them from interfering with work."
Closer to truth is that this is more a coup-d'etat by the Ukrainian fascist paramilitary. The liberal Ukrainian opposition has been chased out of greater parts of the Maidan square and is now in control of "Right Sector", a loosely based umbrella coalition between various fascist and nazi organisations and parties. These extremist wants to ignite a civil war to "cleanse Ukraine from all Russian elements". Pretty scary shit, regarding that a lot of people in Ukraine has Russian as their main language.
The media has mainly filtered this out so far, because they favor anything that destabilize Ukraina in fear of Russia.
I wish that western media would stop feed a biased and false view of what's really happening in Ukraine. Right now their a fueling a fire that could get out of hand with disastrous results.
The current situation is in dire need of de-escalation.
Here are few rare articles that's shedding some light in to the situation:

EDIT: There is a lot of unfounded rumors about the government cracking down on the protestors in Ukraine on Twitter. There's also a lot of old images, videos and news that are being recirculated that does not reflect the current situation. Please, double or triple check facts and sources before retweeting any (dis)info.
EDIT2: No, I am not Ukranian, nor Russian. Also I don't support either side. I think either regime is equally corrupted.
