Welcome to the house of chuck.
Over the last few years, I’ve spent quite a significant chunk of my “dayjob” time working on, and thinking about, observability in general, and logging in particular. After a lot of rewriting and overwriting, “don’t repeat yourself” and coping with ecosystem limitations, I figured it was time to write a blog post on the current state of the art of logging in ruby, what I think it’s missing and…
TL;DR The http-2-next gem has been officially archived, and has been replaced by http-2 (the gem http-2-next was originally forked from) as the only direct dependency of httpx, after being merged back into the latter.
TL;DR most http clients you’ve been using since the ruby heyday are either broken, unmaintained, or stale, and you should be using httpx nowadays.
tobox is a framework-as-a-gem I’ve been developing over the last year, to solve a particular requirement: guarantee that callback/post-action tasks and emission of events resulting from a business transaction stored in the database happen 100% of the time.
At my dayjob, I’ve been working, for the most of this year of our lord 2022, in a team taking this new flagship product from “alpha” to “general availability”. With products in such an early stage, you don’t know a lot of things: what your users want, how they will use (or you want them to use) the platform, whether the thing you’re building is as valuable as you think it is. In such a stage, the…
tl;dr: BUNDLE_PATH=$GEM_HOME.
Recently, a blog post about how to use activerecord as a library was shared on r/ruby, which started an interesting discussion thread (where I was involved) from the premise “instead of using activerecord out of the rails, why not sequel”? While several arguments were made both for and against the premise, it felt that, at times, discussion deviated towards the merits of sequel vs. activerecord,…
httpx v0.19.0, the first major (minor version) update of 2022 of the ruby HTTP “swiss-army-knife” client, has just been released. It brings a lot of improvements and bugfixes, as well as a feature that has been a long time coming.
I’ve written before about rodauth-oauth and how to use it to make an OAuth2 or OIDC Connect provider out of a rails application, and where I built a rails demo app based out of Janko Mahronic’s rodauth-rails demo app as a workable tutorial. It shows well what rodauth accomplishes, how integrating it in a rails app became significantly simpler thanks to rodauth-rails, and how one can building an…
The Tensorflow framework is the most used framework when it comes to develop, train and deploy Machine Learning models. It ships with first class API support for python and C++, the former being a favourite of most data scientists, which explains the pervasiveness of python in virtually all of the companies relying on ML for their products.
