We do this in Ruby all the time, we just prefer methods over variables, usually.

def authorized?
  current_user&.authorized?
end

Or business decides all specs and design decisions that were made last quarter were actually garbage and yes we do want to be able to manually override every step of the carefully designed state machine. We’d like to be able to manually change all calculated sales data, but also the data needs to remain in a consistent state at all times. Oh and while you’re there, we decided the commission calculations will use a different system from now on. We expect it to be online by the end of the week, thanks.

Maybe in enterprises settings what you say makes sense, but for the small to medium startups I usually work for, RoR is great. It’s super easy to prototype and switch lanes. If I had to do what I do in Java I’d go insane. As for Delphi…

The RoR “magic” being obtuse is extremely exaggerated most of the time and more meme than reality. If you think PHP is better, by which I guess you mean Laravel, how on earth is that less “magical”? React? Next? I’ll take Ruby any day.

I mean I’ve been using ActiveRecord for the last 20 ish years and I’ve never encountered or even heard of this bug. Sounds like you came across an especially obscure one.

Ragging on older generations though, comedy gold.

joor rite spelin is stoopit an sos punktution. Pandas be damned.

They missed “oh nevermind, I fixed it” without explaining how or ever commenting again.

I have ports open (to receive backups from my other servers) but only to connections from specific ip addresses and only port 22 using a pub key (no password) I’d be hesitant to open port 80 to the public though.

Then again I’ve run a small public web server for well over a decade and never had any issues with hackers.

Apparently people don’t like Nord but a few years ago several privacy sites advocated for them. I wonder what changed.

Yes, that looks like ####### to me

That’s why there’re are different instances. No one can force you to join lemmy.world just like no one can force them to host content they don’t want to host.

I may be in the minority here when I say I don’t see the problem. AI trained on millions of publicly available images used to speed up the concept stage of development seems like fair use to me. Like the developer says, commercial artists have always used other folks work to speed up their development, that sounds more problematic to me than drawing inspiration from a huge dataset.

This one was Indian apparently. Either way, nothing of value was lost.

Not “can’t comply” but “doesn’t want to comply”. Other than that fully agreed, it is what I wanted.
