Ruby Outperforms C: Breaking the Catch-22YJIT’s ability to improve performance by adapting to run-time behavior can increase the speed of our code in a way that dropping down to C can’t. As such, I think we should reconsider the common wisdom that “rewriting our Ruby in C” is the ideal path to performance optimization and take a serious look at “rewriting our C in Ruby” instead. 2023-08-29 Rails at Scale Aaron Patterson 3,000 words Rated Feb 13th - sethherr

Everyone knows your locationRecently I read about a massive geolocation data leak from Gravy Analytics, which exposed more than 2000 apps, both in AppStore and Google Play, that secretly collect geolocation data without user consent. Oftentimes, even without developers` knowledge. I looked into the list (link here) and found at least 3 apps I have installed on my iPhone. Take a look for yourself! This made me come up with an idea to track myself down externally, e.g. to buy my geolocation data leaked by some... Jan 31st tim.sh tim 3,000 words Rated Feb 3rd - sethherr
