No, it’s got an active community and fresh developments, so it’s definitely not dead. The concurrency story is/was poor, so some people left Ruby but many remain and many still join.


Ruby is really good at concurrency now with non-blocking fibers. https://github.com/socketry/async makes it really easy to use.


Cisco has iOS too.


I’ve had some success with eternal-terminal too, where mosh didn’t support true colour.


My 10yr old son enjoys the book a lot!


Not entirely sure why you appear to be shadowbanned (nothing looked egregious in a quick scan of past comments), so I vouched for this comment so it shows for people that don't have showdead on.

Maybe it's that most your comments are very short and single sentences and it's triggering some automated system looking spam as a false positive? Maybe it's worth being slightly more verbose in replies for a while, in case that's it. I assume if you get enough people vouching for comments the ban reverses itself, but I don't really know. You could also email hn and ask why.


Thanks for sharing this tribute. If you have many more memories, could we trouble you for another? This man is inspiring.


To highlight this point, Jose’s in this thread and across HR. He’s an inspirational leader.


Suicide is not a decision. It’s not something you commit, like a crime. Our phrasing needs to reflect this.

It’s a disease. Chris died of suicide.


thanks for saying this. i believe it to be an important comment and it has helped me.


I have family starting a truffle farm in WA’s south west. More interesting that grapes!


I would love to read or watch any content you have created about this project. It’s literally a goal of mine, to build something similar. I love helicopters and live under a flight path that’s used for by the rescue choppers, and I run outside to watch them every time. I’m going to start collecting ADS-B data also; I can imagine that’s complimentary to your efforts.


So your point about Apple, is in fact, not about Apple at all. Cool.


Thanks to Apple, I had a bean burrito this afternoon that upset my stomach.

Not sure why iPhone engineering didn’t anticipate this happening, but the flatulence kept my boss away so everything worked out.


I’m mostly having fun, but Apple’s official wallet also has magnets on the back. The point is apple designed a system where a small removable wallet needs to be handled with your cards. That’s apple’s system design. And I suspect that you would encounter the same issue with Apple’s official wallet. Just like my Popwallet apple says the inside of the wallet is shielded. But the outside cannot be shielded as it has to magnetically attach to the phone. So unless the apple wallet has much weaker magnets, in which case it would fall off the phone easily, then it’s going to have the same issue. The problem is with the system apple designed.


> The problem is with the system apple designed

Is it? Numerous people up and down this thread who do use the official one have told you they've not experienced it, so I'm not sure your assumption holds.


They’ve not experienced the issue when touching a magnetic card to the magnetic side of the wallet, or they’ve not experienced the issue when placing the card in the shielded section? Because what I’m saying is the former is unfortunately very easy to do, and that would be easy no matter which brand holder is used.
