What’s the difference between this repo (4 stars) and the original repo it’s forked from (2.2k stars)?

> #4: They want to build trust

For my business (micro-SaaS EdTech), the value of building trust with my customers cannot be understated. Further, I don’t believe i can effectively build trust with my customers in the way the author describes; without meetings.

> The Supreme Court of the United States has recently made decisions signaling a shift in how courts will approach DEI.

Does anyone know what decisions he's referring to?

“Free”… for non-commercial use.

Is it ethical to say a software is now free for only a learning license?

It takes a bit of digging to find the definition of the index they’re using.

From their GitHub page: “The data in this repository are the percentage change in seasonally-adjusted job postings since February 1, 2020, using a seven-day trailing average.”

This is only a short summary. There is a couple of full reports on the main page of their website.

Unfortunately, is is not very interesting because the study seems to rely almost completely on Facebook data. The effects on that platform were pretty predictible.

There are obvious questions left unanswered:

- What was the effect on direct traffic ?

- What was the effect on paid subscriptions ?

- Are people effectively less informed ?

As a Canadian active on social media, I’ll also add that the quality of news I consume and am exposed to has dramatically increased.

They describe several cases where the E2E means user<->facebook<->otheruser. Some examples: group chat. Shared images. Shared Urls with snipets. Absolutely everything involving interactions with a whatsapp "business account".

So they are not exactly lying. just being extremely dishonest.

user<->facebook<->otheruser is the exact OPPOSITE of end-to-end. There’s literally a middleman who can read your messages.

Theyre sooooo dishonest.

Nearly all the first comments express that the justification to include Rubocop with a default rule set in Rails 8 contradicts DHH's criticism of languages such as Go which have a built-in linter, therefore dictating style rules to programmers. DHH criticizes Go's approach as totalitarian while shipping Rubocop with Basecamp's rule set.

Rubocop is a linter (etc) whose rule set can be easily customized and to include it in Rails wouldn't be possible without _some_ default set of rules. DHH addresses this apparent contradiction directly, too: "Not such that I, or anyone, can mandate what style your codebase ought to be written in, but such that you can find and enforce your own." I'm reading: A linter/formatter will be included in Rails 8 with a smart default rule set, and it can be easily customized. I don't see any contradiction.

I'm highly aligned with this decision as it could help alleviate a recurring pain point at our tiny company: managing code formatters and linters in our IDE (Solargraph, Rubocop, Ruby LSP, etc). Further, I'd expect excellent documentation on how we can customize the rules to best suit our purposes, too.

“… the only technology we should be using to create web UI is JavaScript.”

Well, the Rage team certainly is opinionated!
