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. 2023-8-28 5:00pm Rails at Scale Aaron Patterson 3,000 words Rated 2025-2-12 9:06pm

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... 2025-1-31 3:30pm tim.sh tim 3,000 words Rated 2025-2-2 6:58pm
