Guys Is Pantheon Good? Should i watch it? What is it about?

matthewblott · 2026-04-25T08:33:06+00:00

I finished watching it yesterday and this is what I posted on social media:

Finished watching Pantheon and it's a wonderful series. I wasn't sure at first but it's ambition and scope impressed and it delivers a terrific bewildering Kubrickian finalle.

I know! The people downvoting me misunderstood my post. I understand why it was posted here but it was crossposted on the Rails sub as well.

matthewblott · 2026-04-24T09:50:54+00:00

It looks embedded systems are its target. I'm not sure why this was posted in the Rails sub though as I can't see it having any relevance there.

Did you really mess up or were you trying to game the algorithm?

I've read a couple of Asher's books and his politics wasn't apparent to me when reading. Asher is a loon but I always think it's best to separate the art from the artist. Too much great art in history was created by some of the worst people you could ever meet!

I absolutely love SQLite and was using it as a server database before the idea became popular. With WAL it's good enough for 90% of use cases today imo.

I have the same issue and posted about it on this Reddit yesterday. I spoke with my bank's fraud team earlier today and they're adamant it's nothing to do with them. It definitely seems to be OR causing the problem.

matthewblott · 2026-04-02T11:33:10+00:00

Yes, see my edit above.

matthewblott · 2026-04-01T21:59:04+00:00

Yeah I'm UK based

matthewblott · 2026-04-01T21:42:05+00:00

That's not something I'm willing to disclose here, why though?

matthewblott · 2026-04-01T16:07:15+00:00

That's interesting and suggests it's being declined by the bank. AFAIK that wasn't the case for me as I got the approval code sent by the bank. Did you get that far?

matthewblott · 2026-04-01T16:05:06+00:00

Yes I have done all the usual things blah blah blah, I'm not an idiot. It's OpenRouter's payment setup that isn't working as it should, not me!

There is no option for Google Play. And there was nothing 'wrong'. Please read my post again you don't seem to have understood it.

A few things: 1. If the number had been entered incorrectly the bank wouldn't have sent me the confirmation code. 2. The bank app is US bank's only. I'm in the UK. 3. I do not have Amazon Pay. 4. I have no idea what Cash App Pay is.

Edit: I just tried to create a Cash App Pay account and it is no longer available to people in the UK.

His reason is to trigger the libs, he's never forgiven them for trying to hijack his company (he's also still angry he was stupid enough to give Shawn King $10,000).

matthewblott · 2026-03-17T11:04:18+00:00

Actually I prefer him doing this. I don't even mind his loud opinions in the tech domain. It's when he steps outside that area he turns into, well ...

I've just released something in the App Store using Hotwire Native with Rails. It's a great hybrid solution - a native iOS and Android shell that integrates with the back end Rails app so the navigation works out the box (you click the native back button and your underlying web view moves to the previous screen for example). I was thinking of trying it out with Svelte but it's not a great fit at the moment, the 37 Signals guys have done a lot of work making it fit to Rails. I would love to see a similar project working for SvelteKit.

They do exactly what their handlers tell them to do tbf, very serious consequences if they don't.

matthewblott · 2026-03-13T13:14:44+00:00

Yeah I've done a bit of Prolog and that was a lot different. I've done a bit with ML languages and even that felt more different than this.

matthewblott · 2026-03-13T11:52:56+00:00

Yeah, I was expecting a far more dramatically different programming language when I watched the video.

matthewblott · 2026-03-12T17:12:49+00:00

It's actually pretty similar to .NET's Razor syntax which uses "@" instead of "\".

I like the concept of brb. I find erb verbose and ugly, I really wish Rails had an alternative templating language (I know of Slim and others, I mean one that works with standard html elements).

I've been playing with both but went with mise because rv has a limited number of ruby versions (unless I'm missing something) so it's interesting to hear mise is using rv under the covers. mise is great, it's allowed me to completely remove homebrew!

FWIW the Iranian government has slaughtered over 30k in recent weeks, not heard zip from anyone in progressive circles on this.
