Doesn't bode well for DataDog's Performance Monitoring tool, especially if they don't use it on their own site!

So, this is just RaaS? (Redis as a Service)

Amazing! I made a shitty version[0] of this last year. I guess great minds think alike, but greater minds execute better!

Re:Ask HN: How do you justify taking unpaid vacation as self employed? on Friday December 27, 2019 @07:46AM (#21891015)
Correct. How much are you charging per hour at the moment? Consider doubling it.

Great point! It doesn't at the moment, but it would be too hard to add at all. I'll look into adding the manifest file.

Unless you'd like to make a PR ;)

Any suggestions for making it more noticable? Also, is your screen really big?

Ask HN: Is there a HN for Ruby news?

Posted by alexpapworth on Sunday August 18, 2019 @03:49PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I enjoy a number of the posts submitted here, but wish I saw more Ruby news on the front page. Rust, Python and Julia seem to have more of a sway with this community.Does anyone have a suggestion for active sites with a more Ruby-centric community?
