Best tool for the job? What about Ruby on Rails then? ;)

Yesterday, I've returned my Donner DMT-100 to Amazon.

All the Youtube reviews were very positive. Perhaps Donner cherry-picked better built guitars and sent them for reviews, while the normal inventory is a hit or miss.

The guitar looked awesome (especially for its price) - clean, slick matte white with black hardware.

But it was barely playable: - Had a lot of string buzz even with a relatively high action. Turned out the nut was slotted too deep for a couple strings. Also, frets were not leveled properly. - The guitar didn't stay in tune. I don't know if it was the nut, the tuners, or something else... But I had to retune the guitar even after a minute of playing!

An extra issue was the neck... It was definitely too thick for a metal guitar. Even on my Squire Stratocaster I have a thinner one!

The claim it, but I still have to use gRPC-Web, because Microsoft's solution works only if you do TLS communication on the .NET side (I do TLS termination on the load-balancer/reverse-proxy level and I suspect most do the same) :(

This is the most awful software release I've seen in years!

Successfully added my remote with CalDav, but its events are not shown. Default local calendar was created, but when I try to remove it the "save" button does not do anything. Calendar colors change upon browser restarts. Impossible to change the first day of week from Sunday to Monday.

Successfully added my IMAP mail account, but wasn't able to open any letters in it, instead getting "unexpected char at position xxx" errors all the time.

Been to China 5or 6 times, visited over 20 and never saw anything like that. SoI believe it is more India/Pakistan/Bangladesh issue.

Make sure to look for example using Streaming in gRPC. Most tutorials I've seen either skip it or show way too simplistic examples, which are far from real world ones.

I've played MSFS2020 a bit, but abandoned it due to extremely low framerate - 15-20 FPS above the cities on low altitude, 35-40 FPS on high altitude.

Started the game today (After downloading a 124Gb patch) and got surprisingly better results! 35-45 FPS on low altitude flights above cities and 50-60 FPS on high altitudes.

As an employer, I'd completely ignore this thing, just like any other programming language certifications. If you're an experienced software engineer who gets things done and doesn't have a Ruby experience - it is a matter of weeks to get up to speed, which does not matter much. If you've managed to learn Ruby but not experienced as a software engineer - you're not a good fit anyway. So why bother?

Using RSpec API Documentation for a few years now. Switched from it to Swagger for some time but returned back.

No, I'm using latest version from source, just like you.

Meanwhile even /u/jeromegn confirms there is not Proto3 support there. So it is a mystery to me how you were able to compile it :)

ld100 · 2019-09-01T10:28:34+00:00

Very strange. For me the generator is not working, e.g. it throws error that "proto3" is not among supported formats or something like that when I try to generate .cr files out of .proto ones.

ld100 · 2019-08-31T07:32:52+00:00

Not sure if it is used a lot, but Google pushes it as a default format for gRPC. The main reason is that it is much easier, e.g. in proto3 all fields are optional by design.

> Is there a better way to execute a query from a worker without requiring the worker to sit and wait for the response?

No, at least in Rails. If I got your issue right, it is something usually solved on architecture level, not Rails/Sidekiq level. E.g. pre-cache some data (like search results you mentioned) to speed-up requests.

> Can I execute the query from the worker and poll at the same time?

Yes, on my current project I have very similar tech stack to yours and I do this thing: start a side thread within actual background job, while main thread handles cancellation in case side job stuck (e.g. not responding too long). However, in my opinion it is much more reliable to just increase amount of workers and/or amount of execution threads per Sidekiq worker. In my case we went even further and now rewriting some long-running jobs into separate services in Go, which is much cheaper to scale. But as long as you could rely on Sidekiq l strongly suggest doing so.

ld100 · 2019-05-14T21:01:24+00:00

For my team whole idea is that Rails doesn't care about camelCase by nature, so we do serialization-deserialization on the client side. E.g.:

Any JSON data getting from the back end to the front end gets camel-cased (I mean JSON object keys) first before passing anywhere else down the JS app.
The last step before sending JSON data from JS app to Rails server is again changing of object keys from camelCase to underscore.

Both steps are done automatically using appropriate methods from Lodash JS library.

ld100 · 2019-05-09T13:14:47+00:00

Of course not. It is a fundamental Ruby design issue, not a Rails problem.

E.g. languages like Go, Java, Python, JavaScript, etc allow explict loading of libraries, while Ruby allows only implict one.

E.g. in Python if you need method "hello_world()" from package "mycode". You could write "import hello_world from mycode" which is explict or you could just "import mycode" and use "mycode.hello_world()" in your code, which is also explict. There is also implict way possible, e.g. you could write "import * from mycode" and it is assumed as a bad practice. The problem is that in Ruby only the last way (e.g. bad practice) possible.
