The OpenStreetMap.org website is now running on #ruby 3.4.2 (latest) This upgrade brings significant performance improvements, and allows the developers to use newer dependencies. Part of a larger set of improvements from the Karlsruhe Hack Weekend. Thanks to everyone involved! #OpenStreetMap 🚀 🤓

“If i were to categorize #programming languages like #art movements, there would be mid-century utilitarianism (#Fortran, #COBOL), high-theory formalism (#Haskell, #Agda), Americorporate pragmatism (#CSharp, #Java), grassroots communitarianism (#Python, #Ruby), and esoteric hedonism (#Befunge, #Brainfuck). And I’d say #Go, often described as “#C for the 21st century,” represents neoclassicism: not so much a revolution as a throwback.”
Always impressed that still new projects come out of the #ruby ecosystem. I’m totally not in this bubble but it’s good to see that there is still some progress
The rise and fall in programming languages' popularity since 2016 - and what it tells us
David Gewirtz discusses the popularity of programming languages over the past eight years, highlighting:
➡️ the rise of #Python and #JavaScript due to their versatility and relevance in AI and web development.
➡️ the stability of C-based languages
➡️ the emergence of #TypeScript, #Rust, #Kotlin, and Dart.
➡️ the decline of #PHP, #Ruby, #R, and #Swift
Heyo!
My name is Sofie, and I love building things so it is nicer and easier to use!
I touch on subjects such as #nixos, #sysadmin, and how to generally make your life easier running servers.
I also love trying out a lot of different programming languages, big ones being #Rust, #Ocaml, and #Ruby right now!
My current pet project is https://github.com/imsofi/phenix
In my free time I also enjoy #boardgames and #radiocontrol.
Good to see you! 
Hey folks, I was just laid off from my job I'd worked at for 5 years.
I'm hurt, devastated and most of all scared. But I'm also ready to kick things into gear and bring my talents to another company or team.
I've been a Ruby on Rails dev since 2016 and have loved doing it.
My website is https://afomera.dev
If anyone knows of any opportunities I'd love to hear them, please repost or share with folks you know! Thank you.
In the us

New instance, so I should do an #Introduction
Hi! I'm a 30-something non-binary (they/she) programmer.
I always felt at home tinkering with computers, since they seem to mirror the way my brain works.
I always liked cyberpunk's aesthetic, and in the last few years its punk themes have really resonated with me, after growing disillusioned with the tech industry.
Got started using #linux in my teens and nowadays I'm becoming more interested in #bsd because of its simplicity. I enjoy the control these systems give me, as well as the ability to debug issues and (hopefully) understand how they work under the hood.
I love learning programming languages and exploring the different ways they provide to "communicate" with the machine.
My first programming language was C and recently I have been learning #ziglang and finding it has a similar vibe.
I also like functional programming. I've mainly used #scheme and a bit of #haskell
As for scripting languages, #ruby is my favorite.
I'm usually listening to music. My tastes are pretty eclectic, but i often find myself gravitating towards metal and drum and bass.
Lately I've been listening to a lot of Lord Of The Lost, Iron Maiden and Keygen Church.
Let’s hear Alan Kay talk about programming languages_ #smalltalk #oop #java #python #ruby #javascript #lisp

I've been job hunting full time for 2 weeks now. It's exhausting!

I'm also interested in Rust, Go, and Elixir. Any leads are appreciated!! I’m located in California. #ruby #rails #rubyonrails #RubyHire #fedihire #getfedihired

A cybersecurity researcher finds that 20% of software packages recommended by GPT-4 are fake, so he builds one that 15,000 code bases already depend on, to prevent some hacker from writing a malware version.
Disaster averted in this case, but there aren't enough fingers to plug all the AI-generated holes 😬

As appears to be tradition, here's an #introduction from me :) After some time as a #Netware admin, I've been in #infosec for a bit over 20 years.
Started in financial services as a security analyst, moved into #pentesting for banks then as a consultant for various companies and now experiencing the sometimes odd world of Security Advocacy.
Tech-wise these days I focus on #Kubernetes #Docker and all things containerization, but dabble in #webappsec things and code in #ruby and #golang when required.
:EA DATA. SF:Since there has been a huge influx of new users, I decided to write a new #Introduction and actually pin it to my profile.
I'm pushing 50 years old and I live in a Red State that is trying to make me illegal. I'm a #pansexual / #bisexual #transgender woman married to a heterosexual cisgender woman who frequently talks about the current hellscape for people like me in my Toots.
I'm #NeuroDivergent / #ND which is probably why all of these sentences start with "I".
I've worked in #InfoSec for a little over 20 years. I've had lots of roles in #SecEng, #SecOps, and #ThreatManagement. I taught myself #Perl, #Bash, #SQL, and #PowerShell. I'm decent at #JavaScript. I can read #Python and #Ruby. I enjoy automating things and turning manual processes into scripts.
I've been the primary #CareGiver to my wife for 8 years since she developed a chronic condition and went on disability.
My hobbies including #writing #paranormal short fiction, journaling my #dreams, and playing #PCGames on my laptop and #SteamDeck.
I prefer #StarGate over #StarTrek over #StarWars. Still waiting for Amazon to do something, anything with the Stargate property.
While we loved the #ArrowVerse including #Stargirl and #SwampThing, in general we prefer #Marvel over #DC.
I'm a fan of #Horror / #HorrorFam, #HorrorMovies and #HorrorBooks, especially the existential dread of #CosmicHorror or #LovecraftianHorror. I tend to sympathize with the nameless terrors. I am not a fan of mindless slashers, unrelenting gore, or torture porn. Over-the-top, egregious gore that crosses into the absurd is fine, though, so I am a Sam Raimi fan, obvs. Also, #HorrorComedies are underappreciated.
I'm slowly reconnecting with my #Pagan roots. I knew some stuff about #Tarot and had a friend who as a tree a lifetime ago and I'm trying to rekindle that.
We've got #Cats and they are our kids. I also happen to love #Frogs, but we don't have any of those.
#BLM #BlackLivesMatter
#TransgenderRightsAreHumanRights
#LGBT #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA
#ThePandemicIsNotOver
#ClimateChangeIsReal
#SexWorkIsWork
I enjoy conversations about:
💻 #programming (especially #elixir, #elm, #lisp, #clojure or #ruby),
🎮 #games (#videogames like #guiltygear, #leagueoflegends, #darksouls, #finalfantasy, #nier as well as #ttrpg and #go) and #gamedev,
🔥 #climatechange,
🌱 #degrowth,
💀 #collapse,
📈 #economics,
⚛️ #science,
📜 #history,
🤔 #philosophy,
🎸 #music,
🚀 #scifi, and more.
I am inspired by #AlbertCamus, #DavidGraeber, #NateHagens, #NoamChomsky, #UrsulaKLeGuin, and #YanisVaroufakis.

👋 If you know folks looking for help on Ruby/Rails projects, I'm available for freelance work right now.
Old app rescues, big upgrades, feature work, you name it, I either truly enjoy doing it or reluctantly became good at it over the years, and now here we are.
I can also do some pretty nifty DIY heat pump installs and home espresso setups but that'll take a bit longer. 😅
DM or hi@olivierlacan.com to discuss.
PS: double points if you work on climate or science-related work
Reposting my introduction from the old account:
My name is Kuba (Jakub), I live in Kraków, Poland 🇵🇱🇪🇺 I used to work as a web developer (Rails+JS, before the Node era), then I fell in love with the Mac 🍎 and moved to #iOSDev / #MacDev. I like #Swift, but I also still love using #Ruby.
I mostly work on my own projects now with a goal to become a proper #IndieDev one day. From time to time I write really long blog posts. I'm also a big fan of #Bitcoin (I worked on a Mac wallet app a while ago).
My new book "Hands-on Test-Driven Development" has been published: https://hands-on-tdd.com/

Hey, I'm blinry! I create digital tools and games, and digital art. I mostly use Mastodon to share my joy about things I learn or create. Welcome, everyone! :)
I love my communities: the Chaos community, Jugend Hackt, the Recurse Center.
I'm #agender, into #polyamory, #opensource software, #gamedev, #cooking, #traveling, #vim, #blender, #ruby, #drawing, #tokipona, #japan, #math, #science, all things visual!
I'm curious and want to learn & try everything! ☺️
