brunno | 2 years ago | on: Firefox has surpassed Chrome on Speedometer

Thanks for mentioning this. Somehow I've searched for something like this before and couldn't find it.

That didn't stop me from using Firefox tough. I just have my first bookmark in the toolbar point to "about: profiles" and use this page to launch new profile instances, create new ones etc.

You can say that in portuguese, it's completely correct but it seems to be much less used than "junto ao muro" as in "next to the wall/adjacent to the wall". Even being correct in this use, "contra" is a word very charged with adversarial context. Maybe that's the source of the strangeness the thread OP feels about the use of "against".

This is great!

I love Rails but have used Sinatra and Padrino in the past. The knowledge you get using these frameworks can sometimes be brought back to your Rails apps to improve some things.

I hope I can have some time in the near future to use Hanami in a real world project.

Congratulations to the team.

I get what you're saying. Specially if you think of it more as a microblog that you share toughts.

How do you feel about timestamps as titles (and URLs)?

Maybe having an option to use a title or just a timestamp.

brunno | 3 years ago | on: Pstore: Ruby Built-In Hash Persistence

There was a time when some stuff was being extracted (removed) from Ruby core and becoming gems and I really tought PStore and YAML::Store were going to be among those, but no, they decided to keep them in core. So maybe there are some important enough use cases that justify it being there.

Or maybe it would be a hard task that didn't justify the effort.

I love the simplicity of YAML::Store. It was introduced in Ruby 1.8, almost 20 years ago (https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/55f4dc4c9a5345c28d0da750...).

I even created a little gem when I was starting with Ruby, 10 years ago, that was a very thin wrapper around it so that I could play around using an ActiveRecord like syntax (https://github.com/brunnogomes/active_yaml). I used in some pet projects so I could do stuff like:

  p = Post.new
  p.title = "Great post!"
  p.body = "Lorem ipsum..."
  p.save

  Post.all # => [#<Post:0x895bb38 @title="Great post!", @body="Lorem ipsum...", @id=1>]

  Post.find(1) # => #<Post:0x954bc69 @title="Great post!", @body="Lorem ipsum...", @id=1>

  Post.where(author: 'Brunno', visibility: 'public')
  # => [#<Post:0x895bb38 @author="Brunno", @visibility="public", @id=1>, #<Post:0x457pa36 @author="Brunno", @visibility="public", @id=2>]
And have access to the data directly in the YAML files.

Good times!

This is a well done and concise guide from the author of the Kemal framework for Crystal. I really like it.

Heroku is getting a lot of backlash lately but they have the "Deploy to Heroku" button that a lot of open source projects seem to have integraded well. I used it a couple of times and it worked really well. I see it sometimes in READMEs on GitHub repos.

If this could become a standard adopted by other cloud providers we could have the internet you imagined.

brunno | 4 years ago | on: No YAML

Readability.

Sometimes people that can read code, like most of us here, don't get bothered by tokens like "{" or some of the more complex hierarchical structures but for someone that doesn't want to learn/understand code YAML is much more appetizing.

Chrome is bundled with Android (billions of devices) and when you install a lot of software on Windows like antivirus they bundle Chrome unless you opt-out.

Not the same but pretty close.
