I’m glad to see conferences like this exist. It creates dedicated space for these focuses and the people who care passionately about them.

That’s 2080 paid hours per year. Inclusive of paid time off, holidays, etc.

Interesting “built with these tools” to “useful in this way” ratio
Comment · 10 months ago
Congratulations on shipping this, I’m sure folks will find it useful!

The rails native way to do this is to track state in a db row and queuing “next step” jobs as the data changes. This can get verbose especially for smaller pass/fail workflows. However, I find this works better (not worse imo) in more complex workflows as the state is tracked, queryable, can be surfaced in UIs, and resumed “manually” in the event of an outage.

All of this sucks, and it’s time for the community to move on.

It’s a bad look for the ruby ecosystem. Continuing to rehash, throw mud, and speculate at this point likely harms the greater community more than any “side” would “win”.

Where can I find that Potential Malware Inside™ sticker that warns everyone else who is familiar with the consequences? Asking for a friend!

It pains me how this comment illustrates how ignorant most folks are of the consequences of installing software off the internet is (even technically inclined folks that hang out on HN). How many of us have non-security software installed on our computers today that do exactly these things... but sell the information? Definitely a non-zero number!

If folks understood this better, there would be less reason for software like Huntress' EDR to exist.

A multi-node, multi-processes, queue based rspec test runner with a dx that doesn’t suck. Open source.

As with all security audits, most findings are a balance between risk and usability.

He literally mentioned backups and not everyone needs HA?

I paid almost as much for an in-state, 240 mile, move without packing/unpacking.

Get what ya pay for? If felt extremely expensive at the time but after hearing a few horror stories…

Why are these going up on ULA rockets and not Blue Origin?

See https://github.com/huntresslabs/ttl_memoizeable for an alternative implementation.

For those who don’t understand why you might want something like this: if you’re doing high enough throughput where eventual consistency is effectively the same as atomic consistency and IO hurts (i.e. redis calls) you may want to cache in memory with something like this.

My implementation above was born out of the need to adjust global state on-the-fly in a system processing hundreds of thousands of requests per second.

I’ve seen cofounder departures go down a few times second hand/tangentially.

Not a single company survived afterwards.

Are you the CEO? If so, gain the buy-in from your cofounder to follow your direction. If not, find a way to get onboard… or probably damage the company with a departure.

I might agree from the tech worker’s perspective, except to someone working in fast food flipping burgers, a tech worker making $200k/$400k/$1M+ might as well be in the 1%.
