I do know how the HN works. But I can't see who flagged it. So it's really a genuine question - I don't see anything about the site that is against the guidelines. And I'm trying t…

Why is this flagged?

I'm seriously not able to distinguish how many of these comments are about Ruby and how many are about Ruby on Rails (RoR). From the very beginning Ruby's popularity and criticism have hinge…

Wonderful talk. Lot's of interesting points. Much of the technical went over my head though. But from what I understood, the main point he's trying to make was - we are stuck with a way of t…

Sorry, but I have to disagree here specifically for the js world. The initial versions very often seem to skip the learnings of previous generations of software engineers and re-implement the same fun…

Yes, I know about Python's extensive ML libraries. Didn't know about it being the default language for Raspberry Pi libraries. Thanks. I've been planning to look at both learning some M…

Honest question - I'm very familiar with Ruby and for my automation tasks I tend to use it almost exclusively. Of these, is there anything that - 1. Ruby can't do 2. Or is more complex /…

Just FYI - this is primarily for NodeJs

Wonderful article. Lots of interesting observations and studies cited. The last paragraph - > So, if you want to know the secret of a long and happy life, money is not the right answer. Get rid of …
