Switching all my projects from psql to SQLite was a bit of a PITA but has absolutely been worth it. Keeping with the “do it the rails way” has kept mental overhead low, and seems to jive well with using LLMs.


I would imagine most production rails applications don't use sqlite as the backing database.


Related to this is WaitUntil8th, a movement encouraging parents to sign up in groups/regional block (think a PAC) so there is less pressure on individual kids if their peers are also banned.

For what it is worth, after speaking with a friend of mine that teaches 8th grade, I think this movement should be expanded to social media in addition to cell phones.

A different new website. Abosloutely loved it and I'm sure will be appreciated by others.


… I’ve been using Ruby for years and never thought to use show_source like this in a debugger. Thanks kind stranger, you just made my day!


Agreed. I think the article does a great job going into exactly that definition.


This is really cool, and very well done! Would love to see it more on a per-user basis, as I share access with my family and do not have similar tastes at all. Perhaps tied in with Overseer API and Tautulli to see what users are requesting, then actually watching?


Tautulli proved troublesome in my first attempt at integrating it and got put on the back-burner unfortunately. I would really like to get it integrated properly so per user recommendations could become a thing.

I haven't looked at integrating Overseer yet but that is a good idea as well and worth a try at implementing. I'll be adding that to my list, thanks for suggestion!


There is a finish company working on something that might fit this need: domestic sand batteries.

I recently tried RubyMine IDE by jetbrains after having jumped on the VS Code bandwagon since its first beta release. It has been incredible. Instead of monkeying around for 3 hours once a month because some plugin broke, or some dependency updated and a vscode plugin wasn’t expecting this, I just code.

Back in the Sublime text days, it was easy. I think I had forgotten how complex I had made VS Code. Turns out, paying someone else $120/year to deal with that complexity in an IDE is a helluva good deal at your average developers hourly pay.


It certainly does sound like Canada. I am one of the lucky ones and do have a family doctor and it is still a minimum of 6 weeks for me to book an appointment to see him.

If I am really in trouble, I can go to his clinic as a drop-in (along with dozens of others) and wait, hoping somebody doesn't show for their appointment.

The state of healthcare in Canada is...bad. really bad. Canada's healthcare system is effectively using long wait times as a form of passive rationing, where delays lead to natural attrition of patients. This is a poor solution to address the per-capita physician shortages by decreasing demand rather than increasing access to care.


Couldn't agree more. Greece is a great example of what happens to a country when they have a sovereign debt crisis and no control over the value of their currency.

The ability to control your overnight bank rates, and your monetary supply is important. I don't think the convenience of easy travel or easy(ier) trading of goods outweighs it at all.


Greece showed the flaws with the EU.

The good thing is that the EU has improved since then.

On the flip side, Greece is also a great example of how powerful the EU can be. Greece would have absolutely collapsed outside the EU.

So even with the limitations on the EU, Greece did a lot better within the EU than it would have outside.


> The good thing is that the EU has improved since then

It was indeed a big backdoor attack to the Euro, exploited by GS [1], at least.

> Greece would have absolutely collapsed outside the EU.

Meat for the IMF, BlackRock and so on; Argentina's twin.

Global economy seems to be an ocean with Orca whales, they hit and eat alongside with sharks. The citizens turns to meat at same moment their politicians betray them [2], whether caused by ignorance or by malice (corruption).

PS: I wonder what happened to the perpetrators of the 2008 crisis.


Greece cheated their way into EUR. They didn't meet the requirements, so they cooked the numbers with the help of GS. This later on blew up into everybody's faces (well, everyone except GS's).
