A small contribution to OpenAI’s Ruby API client from yours truly was just merged.
It adds the required cgi gem dependency, which is no longer part of the stdlib in Ruby 4. It also expands CI to cover all supported Ruby versions to help prevent future issues like this.
Stepped Actions was featured in Ruby Weekly #782. Thanks for the mention and for helping more Rubyists find the project.
I just released Stepped Actions, a Rails engine for orchestrating complex workflows as a tree of persisted actions that run through Active Job. It’s extracted out of Envirobly and battle tested in it’s current form for over a year.
I’m proud to release v1.2.0 of locport, my open-source tool to standardize localhost project port management.
This version introduces:
Yesterday I got myself into tmux and I love it!
tmux is a terminal multiplexer. It lets you switch easily between several programs in one terminal, detach them (they keep running in the background) and reattach them to a different terminal.
I’ve been using Zellij for several months prior to this. Which I must thank for getting me introduced to the world of terminal multiplexers. However I’ve been running into several issues with it, that got me looking for an alternative:
There are many solutions to the problem of running multiple (web) applications on the same machine, during development. You can use various proxies (puma-dev, localcan, traefik, nginx…) and DNS to set up custom hostnames. Which is something I’ve been doing in the past. But there is a more direct and simpler approach.
Working with the official AWS S3 CLI, as well as tools like s5cmd I quickly realized they aren’t optimized for resource constrained systems, rather more towards uploading as fast as possible and in parallel. This is great for most use cases, but not when you want to minimize the impact on the system, like during frequent backup operations and on a system with half a gig of memory for example.
I’ve been running into issues, like intermittent crashes, with guard, which is a favorite amongst Rubyists, when it comes to automatically running unit tests on a file change. I’ve decided it would be a fun exercise to create my own tool, addressing my needs specifically:
I got my first contribution to Rails codebase merged last week. It’s an improvement to documentation, that explains how to fully utilise parametric scopes.
I’m continuously being impressed by the productivity and ease of use enhancements Rails keeps making after all these years it has been around.
