Rails still the “batteries included” piece of Ruby. Recently added parts like Hotwire, SolidQueue etc are pretty interesting to know.

Outside of it, you might find interesting libraries like sinatra, sequel, roda, dryrb, faraday, sorbet, truffle ruby…

why lifo? can you elaborate?
Not super constructive either, the beauty of having things like HN is to be able to discuss ideas, rather than just point to them as wrong.

At least a couple of counterpoints on why this would be a bad idea and offer a better approach.

What would be one of those “sturdy options”, usable from react?
Out of curiosity, how did you came out with this formula? What’s the math behind it?

2021 revenue was $257 billion, 1% revenue is a lot of money still
Out of curiosity, where did you get that 3x claim on green energy? And how is that related to Gas?
To be clear, you are underestimating the population size of European countries, as if would be a drama to lose HN or simply fork it.

I love hackernews, but there’s way more world out there to discover.

This is protecting EU citizens from EEUU companies having a free lunch on their data.

Community matters. In this case Python community around data science is huge.
Re:Ruby for eBook Publishing on Monday September 20, 2021 @03:32PM (#28597822)
Languages look similar, but Python value resides in the vast amount of libraries available to do data processing and ML. Most of them backed by C implementations under the hood.

Point is, current energy sources can be stopped and reworked, once you go with nuclear disaster you assume the 20k year scenario. Tell me you won't change your opinion in that time span.

Chernobyl won't be habitable in the next 20.000 years. I doubt there's a hydropower disaster comparable to that.

As a developer forced to use a very crappy web-based 1990 time tracking tool, this is simply awesome. We track times to bill clients in service requests
Re:Go 1.8 toolchain improvements on Saturday November 19, 2016 @12:54PM (#12994584)
I consider that the Go compiler is pretty fast, how big has to be the project to make it noticeable enough?
Not exactly free, you pay with your data
Is there any benchmark available?

Depends on the language, it's very easy to pronounce in Spanish
Also having that big header plus tabs just grabs most of the vertical space in the screen, very bad decision now that most of the screens have way more horizontal space.

N5 is very fast for that price, but camera sucks and plastic frame beaks easily. Not to mention how fragile are side buttons... And screen is quite hard to repair!

But hey, for 350 bucks, it's a good deal.
