• What I posted this week about Ruby

  On Thursday, I shared the importance of contributing to Ruby's documentation, and I wanted to show that even a small contribution can help. Thus, I showed a small PR I submitted for the ruby-lang.org website:. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• A full-stack serverless application with AssemblyLift and Next.js

  The counter function is written in Ruby. Since Ruby is an interpreted language, AssemblyLift deploys a customized Ruby 3.1 interpreter compiled to WebAssembly, which executes the function handler. Since the interpreter is somewhat large, the cold-start time of a Ruby function tends to be larger than that of a Rust function. Our counter is being run in the backround, so we're fine with it being a little bit laggy... - Source: dev.to / over 3 years ago

• Why is no one promoting ruby?

  But, in general I was told use rubyapi.org unless you _really_ want to stick with the ruby-lang.org docs for all you do (which is fine) or to dig more into some object hierarchy, etc. Source: about 4 years ago

• Looking for pwsh (core/open source, v7) integration w/ rbenv, asdf

  [2] 'rbenv' - https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv - Ruby version management utility. Run something like rbenv install 3.1.1 to install that version on your system (requires related project ruby-build), then rbenv local 3.1.1 in your code's directory to specify that for any ruby command in that directory only, you want to use version 3.1.1 that you installed through rbenv.

  Https://wishy.gift - A privacy friendly wishlist service, made for my SO after she got 4 thermoses for Christmas a year and only needed 1. Costs ~$30/mo, but is used by my entire extended family, which makes it all worth it :). - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• Ask HN: What are your “scratch own itch” projects?

  My SO got 4 thermoses for Christmas one year, so I decided to build a simple wishlist service[0] to prevent it happening again. Launched it 6 years ago, and since then it's been used by friends, family and myself for all Christmas and birthdays - so I consider it a huge success. In addition to already being a success for me personally, it's growing organically, and last year really picked up the pace when I... - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• Ask HN: What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?

  I created a privacy-friendly wishlist service (https://wishy.gift/) for my SO, and as long as she and my family uses it, it's a success for me. Going from ~1k to ~5k users during 2021 was a lot of fun, but it's the close circle that really counts :). - Source: Hacker News / over 4 years ago

• Alexa leaks your private wishlists

  I run a simple, free and privacy-friendly wishlist service[0] that's been around for a couple of years now, and I don't even keep your e-mail address[1]. It's been exciting to see the user count go from ~500 to ~2500 the last year. Any feedback and feature requests are much appreciated :) [0] https://wishy.gift/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 5 years ago
