Matz even touched on this idea in his keynote! We are a very close community with very direct access to him and the other people building the language. It’s a great aspect of the language and ecosystem. #RubyConf ruby.social/@pushcx/1134770836

@rubyconf unsolicited advice: turn the lights down/off in the presentation rooms for improved slide contrast and visibility

good for the presenter and audience

Rubyists, sqlite3-ruby v2.2.0 was just released.

github.com/sparklemotion/sqlit

SQL syntax errors are a bit more verbose and show you the location of the error in the statement; and the Database constructor now accepts URI filenames.

#ruby #sqlite

Rails Devs: is there an existing gem that handles versioning well that you like? I've got my own cluster of stuff and I'm wondering if I should package it, or contribute some work to something.

@jimfl @RL_Dane @BradRubenstein @mafe @catsalad
I learned, very quickly, once I started at Handspring that the "alpha loop" had 4 directions and were shortcuts to 4 different letters. G, X, K, and Y. That's xenerally what I remember.

TIL:
1. The old ReadyNAS in the garage has a webserver that only supports TLS1.0; Netgear hasn't updated it to fix (too old)
2. Safari will let me visit it
3. The Admin UI does not work
4. The best way to securely wipe is going to be to manually delete and then take some violence to the hard drives

I've posted what I expect is the last article - Part 5 - in my series on deploy a Rails app to a Synology NAS. Great for staging/acceptance env, or in my case production for a home app that doesn't need to live on the Internet.

Come for the very satisfying resolution, one command to deploy. Stay for the Rake extraction to use in your projects.

H/T to Luke Winikates and @soulcutter for the Container Manager automation that made this final step possible!

@soulcutter not a gem yet. Just a task.rb. I’ll play with this idea, thx.
