This is about 95% true, and join\_collapse\_limit is the other 5%: set it to 1, and the planner joins your tables in exactly the order you wrote them. This is not an exploit or an accident of implementation; it is documented, and according to Tom … ## [SB 1000: Everyone Is a Covered Provider Now](https://thebuild.com/blog/sb-1000-everyone-is-a-covered-provider-now/) _2026-08-18 · the build_ California SB 1000 is sitting on Assembly third reading right now, and the Legislature has until midnight on 31 August to pass it.

It was not. The bigger win came from a relatively small change to how we structured our prompts. This post is about that change. How Prompt Caching Works Most AI providers cache the prefix of your prompt and reuse it across calls. If you send the same context repeatedly, you only pay full price… ## [MaxBytes Middleware in Go: The Same Trap, Again](https://destel.dev/blog/max-bytes-middleware-in-go?ref=rss) _2026-06-11 · Viktor Nikolaiev's blog_ A follow-up to the timeout middleware post. The same file upload endpoint that needed a longer timeout also needed a larger request body limit, and the standard http.MaxBytesReader fails the same way – an inner middleware can shrink the limit set by an outer one, but never extend it. The fix is the same one the timeout post landed on, one layer down: share a single mutable limiter through the… ## [A Ruby Timeout that works](https://beautifulruby.com/code/tcp-user-timeout) _2026-05-11 · Beautiful Ruby_ TCP\_USER\_TIMEOUT, exposed to Ruby ## [Timeouts and HTTP Connection Reuse](https://terroir.systems/timeouts-and-http-connection-reuse/) _2026-05-10 · terroir · André Terroir_ When building an application which talks to some dependencies over the network it's generally recommended to always specify timeouts 1 . This prevents resources (threads, connections, descriptors) from being occupied for a long time — worst case indefinitely 2 - when a dependency is slow or unavailable, leading to the application becoming unresponsive. Timeouts also allow retrying by contacting a… ## [HLS](https://beautifulruby.com/code/hls-0-2-0) _2026-05-05 · Beautiful Ruby_ Shipping video should be as easy as shipping a model. ## [Accept your Doppler invite (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/mq8Jy5a9QO7H) _2026-05-05 · **Sponsored**_ Create your Doppler account using the invite code you received. ## [Put the timeout on the connection](https://beautifulruby.com/code/put-the-timeout-on-the-connection) _2026-04-22 · Beautiful Ruby_ Timeout.timeout wraps your code.

It can read and understand a codebase quickly and produce a lot of code in a short amount of time, but it needs clear instructions and you still have to review everything it writes. That comparison has ended up being the most accurate way I can describe what using AI in day to day development actually… ## [Hotswap](https://beautifulruby.com/code/hotswap) _2026-03-09 · Beautiful Ruby_ Replace a SQLite database on a running Rails server without restarting ## [What is Event Debouncing?](https://terroir.systems/what-is-event-debouncing/) _2026-03-05 · terroir · André Terroir_ This post explores what debouncing is and how it is applied in software engineering in general and event processing in particular. With debouncing, for each sequence of successive events only the last one is processed, discarding the rest. The two reasons to make use of the technique: performance - avoiding unnecessary work, and correctness - eliminating undesired effects of repeated actions.… ## [Murmur: A Simple, Self Hosted Platform for Your Own Community](https://brian.moonspot.net/murmur-self-hosted-community) _2026-02-28 · brianlmoon · Ramblings of a web guy_ When I set out to build Murmur the goal was not to reinvent social media but to create a community space that feels purposeful and that you control. Traditional forums worked well for niche interest groups for decades, but modern social platforms are driven by engagement metrics and algorithmic feeds that do not always serve community wellbeing. Murmur embraces a different model: chronological… ## [Enclave](https://beautifulruby.com/code/enclave) _2026-02-27 · Beautiful Ruby_ An MRuby sandbox for running arbitrary Ruby code from LLMs ## [Phlag: A Practical, Self-Hosted Feature Flag System](https://brian.moonspot.net/phlag-feature-flag-system) _2026-02-22 · brianlmoon · Ramblings of a web guy_ Feature flags seem simple at first, but they tend to grow complicated over time. You start with a boolean in a config file. Then you need environment overrides. Then kill switches. Then scheduled rollouts. Then temporary debug settings. Before long, you have conditionals scattered throughout the codebase and a shared understanding of how to toggle things that only exists in people’s heads.… ## [Framework Detection](https://beautifulruby.com/code/framework-detection) _2026-02-17 · Beautiful Ruby_ Using Ruby modules as singleton objects without extend self ## [Don't throw the specs out with the factories](https://beautifulruby.com/code/fixturebot) _2026-02-07 · Beautiful Ruby_ FixtureBot gives you the speed of fixtures with the syntax of factories ## [Superfeature Plan](https://beautifulruby.com/code/superfeature-plan) _2026-02-04 · Beautiful Ruby_ A Ruby DSL for defining SaaS pricing plans and features ## [Superfeature Price](https://beautifulruby.com/code/superfeature-price) _2026-01-30 · Beautiful Ruby_ A Ruby object for working with prices and discounts ## [Adding form errors to Superform fields](https://beautifulruby.com/code/superform-errors) _2026-01-26 · Beautiful Ruby_ Display validation errors with any CSS framework ## [Fizzy SaaS & the mysterious Queen Bee](https://beautifulruby.com/code/fizzy-saas) _2025-12-17 · Beautiful Ruby_ I walk through the source code of the latest Rails application open-sourced by 37 Signals ## [37 Signals Fizzy Kanban board](https://beautifulruby.com/code/fizzy) _2025-12-05 · Beautiful Ruby_ I walk through the source code of the latest Rails application open-sourced by 37 Signals ## [2025 Ruby Cyber Monday & Black Friday Deals](https://beautifulruby.com/articles/ruby-black-friday-deals-2025) _2025-11-26 · Beautiful Ruby_ Save money on Ruby books, courses, licenses, & software ## [Beautiful Ruby: The First Update](https://beautifulruby.com/articles/first-update) _2025-11-02 · Beautiful Ruby_ Pre-sold $13,000 of Phlex on Rails video course ## [Introducing Phlex on Rails](https://beautifulruby.com/articles/phlex-on-rails-launch) _2025-10-20 · Beautiful Ruby_ Officially launching a video course for building component-based UIs in Rails ## [Markdown Image Tags as YouTube and Embed Blocks](https://beautifulruby.com/code/embed-youtube-videos-in-markdown) _2025-10-15 · Beautiful Ruby_ Abuse markdown image tags to easily embed YouTube videos and embedded resources in documents ## [How I created the Phlex on Rails video course outside](https://beautifulruby.com/articles/portable-workstation-iteration-one) _2025-10-13 · Beautiful Ruby_ An off-the-grid dev setup & recording studio that fits in a backpack
