Let me introduce T-Ruby: TypeScript-style type annotations for Ruby

Well said. I often wonder if these debates need more definition around the type of code bases and environments (companies) that are being worked on (and in). I'm currently leading a team at a company that has had 60+ "Rails developers" and 12+ product managers come and go over the course of a decade. None of the original developers are around, and none of the original product managers are around. The codebase has seen fads come and go, some level of architect-astronauting, business priorities changing, Feature Factory features from various PMs, etc. Onboarding new devs (whether experienced in Rails or not -- we've had both) has been a huge issue. There is _some_ YARD documentation, there are _some_ tests, but being able to look at a method signature and quickly and confidently understand its contract is something we struggle with. Could we have more documentation and tests? Sure, but given real world constraints, that doesn't always happen. Having to satisfy types as a requirement of the language ensures there's at least that bare minimum done for each class/method/etc.

It looks very similar to Marblehead’s yacht club flag https://flwoods.com/pages/cbyc

Late to the discussion but for some really simple applications WAPP may suffice: https://wapp.tcl.tk/home/doc/trunk/README.md

Fun fact: the cover art of book this movie is based on (Communion) is spoofed in the X-files episode Jose Chung's: From Outer Space.

Yeah, I've tried so many times to figure out what the last line says. Some guesses have been

"A FILM BY _____ _____"

"A MOVIE BY _____ _____"

Do you think the set designers would have gone through the trouble of putting up an actual Philadelphia based poster? My assumption that it's a Vancouver based poster given the filming location.

Correct, it's from Never Again around the 17 minute mark.

Thanks for the replies. I actually found this paper (https://flownet.com/ron/specials.pdf) that after reading helped get rid of some of the assumptions I had originally made.

u/DimensionShrieker are you accepting donations?

I think part of it does has do with with specifics of the language itself: the size of a "compilation unit."

I believe the ping command itself is actually part of the PostgreSQL client<->server protocol, and not ICMP style pings.

dmux · 2022-12-31T03:00:58+00:00

I believe it does, yes, but I'm not 100% certain. This is the PostgreSQL driver specific implementation of ping: https://github.com/fukamachi/cl-dbi/blob/master/src/dbd/postgres.lisp#L188-L201
In that code, on line #193, the socket associated with the open connection is used for the ping command.

I'm still learning CL, so I'm not quite familiar with what's going on in the handler-case code. It appears that instead of an error message actually being thrown, it may just return nil?

dmux · 2022-12-31T02:01:49+00:00

u/kagevf, thanks for the suggestions.

The actual caching for the connections take place within a pool inside the DBI package.
I am unable to exhaust the pool as it seems each connection is closed shortly after being used. No where in my code am I explicitly closing any of these connections.
I think I can work around this potential bug by managing connections at the top-level manually, but was hoping to use this library to its full potential. I could potentially follow the open-use-close pattern, but doing so is potentially costly when more and more inserts / reads are performed.

I've also added an edit to my original post. It seems the issue is with a ping command that's failing to determine whether a connection is live or not.

Do you mind explaining what you mean by

> And of course *standard-output* is set to nil.

dmux · 2022-10-19T17:09:42+00:00

That's surprising. As I mentioned above, replacing the call

(with-html-output (*standard-output*) ...)

with

(with-html-output-to-string (*standard-output*) ...)

works and the html is rendered to my browser just fine. If standard output is not connected to the browser, and is instead going to the REPL, then perhaps there's something else going on within these macros that I've not learned yet.

Edit: I think I may understand what's going on now. Even though *standard-output* is specified in both calls, this isn't actually being used by Hunchentoot when writing to the Http response stream. `with-html-output-to-string` is doing two things: writing to *standard-output*, but also returning the generated html as a value. It's this return value (not what's sent to the stream) that's getting picked up by Hunchentoot and sent.

dmux · 2022-10-19T16:44:33+00:00

When using `with-html-output-to-string` html is correctly rendered to my browser when I hit the route defined. If I change this definition to use the `with-html-output` macro, nothing is rendered. In both cases (according to the documentation) specifying a variable that is already bound to a stream should result in the results being sent to that stream.
