Same but with black holes and particle physics!
I strongly believe that honest assessment is the best way to build trust, and I hope folks feel that the comparisons reflect that.
Ruby Central *really* don’t want you to see this video. They’re now going after Reddit comments linking to it. archive.org/details/gmt-...
Hello, my fellow nerds!
@sidekiq 8.1.2, Sidekiq Pro 8.1.1 and Sidekiq Enterprise 8.1.1 are now available. The major change is the new `kiq` terminal UI now available.
Upgrade and try `bundle exec kiq` to see it in action!
It's been 4 years since I left Rails core, and my most impactful work has happened since I left.
Here's a writeup of it all:

Introducing `kiq`, Sidekiq's new terminal interface, making your occasional admin operations even faster. Give it a try and let me know how to make this an amazing tool for you.

Maybe @rubycentral.org will update their sponsor page if we prod them publicly. I'd like to know which companies still support RC today.
Happy to see Andre finally speaking publicly about the hostile Ruby Central takeover last year. RC is no longer a trustworthy steward for the Ruby community. I don't see how we repair this rift without Shan stepping down, she has been awful as ED.

#GemCoop just* launched a public beta for namespaces!

This is the most incredible footage of blue whales I’ve ever seen
rvx installs and runs Rails in 8 seconds, vs. gem exec rails in 18 seconds.
Phlex::TUI is not just a component system. It’s a layout engine, a rendering engine and a reactive component framework all in one. And it’s 100% Ruby with no dependencies.
RubySchema has a new website and all schemas have been updated with improved documentation. www.rubyschema.org
Not bad! The top customer I’m aware of is running 20B/day or avg of 250,000 jobs/sec with a sharded Redis setup.
rv has a big release, with windows support and gem CLI tools! the fastest way to generate a rails app is now `brew install rv; rvx rails new`. check it out: https://spinel.coop/blog/rv-0.5-cli-tools-windows/

For the VPS, are you using Dokku, Hatchbox or other?
Do something nice to someone today, expecting nothing in return other than the joy of being a human being who cares about others ⭐
I had started building the UI similar to the existing Webui but the TUI had its own strengths that I’d like to leverage, notably in quick table row selection and filtering.
I’m interested. I’ve been using ratatui ruby for sidekiq’s tui but its API isn’t terribly idiomatic and I’d prefer pure Ruby.
gem.coop has news! we've just released dependency cooldowns (in beta), a strong defense against supply chain attacks gem.coop/updates/4/
Let's do this.

What if we had Phlex::TUI as well as Phlex::HTML, Phlex::SVG and Phlex::CSV?

This is a huge release for TruffleRuby. It’s our first under our new org.
