Ruby Rogues

Panel: Charles Max WoodDave KimuraEric Berry Special Guests: Saverio Miroddi In this episode of Ruby Rogues, the panel talks to Saverio Miroddi who is an engineer among other things. Saverio has written articles, and a link to two of his articles is found below. The panel and Saverio talk about Ruby, Ruby Motion, Shoes, Hackety Hack, and much more! Check out the episode!Show Topics:2:05 – Chuck asks a question.2:42 – Chuck: What do you recommend for the listeners?2:49 – Saverio: At the time I recommended an underdog. Now, making a recommendation is kind of hard. It depends on what they need. It’s fascinating in a way, because web development is not straightforward. Through the choice the subject is so wide.3:58 – Panelist: Building desktop applications the very last thin I think: I should build this in Ruby. It sounds like I am not the only person. Why would people want to build desktop apps in Ruby versus another program?4:38 – Chuck: I was thinking the same thing.4:59 – Saverio: Personally, I like consistency. When Ruby came out it’s meant to be very easy. It should be easy to hack a certain tool. It depends on a case basis.6:15 – Panelist: How does Ruby shine in this respect?6:19 – Saverio: It’s hard to say. It is a compromise with everything. That’s the case – if it is meant to be simple, keep it simple. When I wrote my app I was looking for consistency. Ruby is far from ideal and it’s compromising the project.8:02 – Panelist: Tell us how you use it? Tell us your cases.8:17 – Saverio dives into this topic.9:05 – Panelist: I hate web applications online – I want it on my desktop. But it’s funny; I am the opposite when I make it. I really like the idea of Ruby being expanded beyond web application.Panelist continues to talk about what/where/how Ruby is used or not used.10:30 – Chuck: I like the idea of expanding to other areas, as well. Do you think there is enough momentum to get it to a new place?11:09 – Saverio answers this question.Saverio: To be honest, this might just be a niche. It’s being developed at a slow pace. I know a few things use Ruby, and they just want to use a few small tools, and a few frameworks.12:38 – Panelist talks about Ruby and how it can be good for kids and beginners because of the visual component/feedback.13:49 – Saverio: I agree.13:59 – Chuck: I asked earlier, what would you recommend to kids to get started?14:20 – Saverio answers the question.16:02 – Panelist: I think I have a compromise, what about a web application that loads like a regular web page, but also has offline functionality? If you go offline it can load and sometimes work. Now you have a native application.16:47 – Chuck adds in a comment.16:53 – Advertisement 17:31 – Saverio: That would be complex, right?17:44 – Chuck: They were headed towards desktop but never got there.17:55 – Panelist: There is Ruby Motion. 18:41 – Chuck: We are going to have a special guest back to talk about doing Ruby Motion on the Nintendo Switch. I think it will take a lot to compile to get to the new system.19:07 – What is your experience with building Opal?19:17 – Saverio: I excluded those, actually.19:50 – Panelist: Let’s talk about data and storing data?20:04 – Saverio: Definitely.Saverio dives into this topic...20:28 – Chuck: Do you use Active Record?20:32 – Saverio: No.21:00 – Saverio: I like simplistic solutions.21:19 – Chuck: That sounds like it wouldn’t be completely foreign for people who have done web development.If we are more web active what will throw us off? Just in general. Your visual is different than the web. It’s different between a desktop and a web app.22:21 – Panelist: If you are building in Ruby it can be locked down to a single thread.22:37 – Saverio adds his thoughts.22:59 – Panelist: Any open source projects that are gooey based application?23:25 – Saverio: I am not aware. There are applications out there that are getting traction, though.23:50 – Chuck asks Saverio a question.24:01 – Saverio talks about Ruby25:12 – Saverio is deciding on whether or not to transition to another language or not.26:36 – Chuck: Things that are built with Shoes...Hackety Hack?26:55 – Saverio: It is hard to write in Shoes. It’s fun for the beginner.27:34 – Chuck: Anything else?27:41 – Panelist: This has to do with the Gooey, and it’s Native Fire.29:05 – Chuck chimes in.29:26 – Panelist continues talking about this topic.30:48 – Panelist: To make it beyond a toy, there needs to be more community support and more examples. I have been in Ruby for a while, but building applications in React and Electron is not that simple as in Ruby. I hope to see more support in open-source projects, and to take it to the next level. This is a story yet to be told.31:52 – Panelist: My concern is it always looks like a high school project.32:15 – Chuck: Yeah, doesn’t look completely polished.32:19 – Saverio: Yes, when you go to a Ruby talk then...32:50 – Chuck: Anything else?33:04 – Saverio: I have nothing else to add.33:10 – Advertisement 33:47 – Picks!Links:Get a Coder Job CourseRubyShoesSaverio Miroddi’s GitHubSaverio Miroddi’s article, “Using scripts in any language for...”Saverio Miroddi’s article, “An overview of Desktop Ruby GUI Development in 2018”RhoMobileRuby MotionRuby GemsHackety HackNPM – NativefierSponsors:SentryDigital OceanGet a Coder Job CoursePicks:CharlesBooks – I have been devouring stuff on Audible. Personal growth tape – The Queen’s Poisoner by WheelerA View from the Top by Zig ZiglarCode BadgesDaveCommand strips – 3MNPM – NativefierEric2 courses, plus a 3rd! How to write an open sourceHow to Contribute to an Open Source Project on GitHubThe beginners guide to ReactFree courses on EggheadSaverioMovie: The FounderSpecial Guest: Saverio Miroddi.

Panel: - Charles Max Wood- Dave Kimura- Eric Berry Special Guests: Rahul MahaleIn this episode of Ruby Rogues, the panel talks to Rahul Mahale. Rahul is a Senior DevOps Engineer at BigBinary in India. He has also worked with SecureDB Inc., Tiny Owl, Winjit Technologies among others. In addition, he attended the University of Pune. The panel and the guest talk about https://kubernetes.io.Show Topics:1:25 – https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/3074500-ruby-rogues?store_id=172938 1:49 – Chuck: Why are you famous?1:57 – Guest’s background.4:35 – Chuck: https://kubernetes.io – Anyone play with this?4:49 – Panelist: Yes. Funny situation, I was working with https://www.heroku.com/languages. https://www.heroku.com/languages is very costly, but great.The story continues...6:13 – Panelist: I was so overwhelmed with how difficult it was to launch a simple website. Now, that being said we were using the https://aws.amazon.com/eks/, which is the https://kubernetes.io. They don’t have nearly as much good tools, but that’s my experience.6:48 – Chuck: I haven’t tried https://kubernetes.io.8:58 – Rahul: I would like to add a few comments. Managing https://kubernetes.io service is not a big deal at the moment, but...11:19 – Panelist: You wouldn’t recommend people using https://kubernetes.io unless they were well versed? What is that term?11:40 – Rahul: Not anyone could use the https://kubernetes.io cluster. Let’s offer that complexity to another company that can handle and mange it.13:02 – The guest continues this conversation.14:02 – Panelist: I didn’t know that https://kubernetes.io needed different nodes.14:28 – Rahul continues this topic.15:05 – What hardware requirements do they need?15:19 – Rahul: Yes, they do need a good system. Good amount of memory. Good network space.15:45 – Panelist asks Rahul a question. 16:30 – Rahul: Let’s answer this into two parts. https://kubernetes.io topic is being discussed in detail.  18:41 – Chuck adds comments and asks a question.18:58 – Rahul talks about companies and programs. Check out this timestamp to hear his thoughts.20:42 – Another company is mentioned added to this conversation.21:55 – Additional companies mentioned: Google, Microsoft, IBM, etc. (Rahul)22:14 – Chuck: It’s interesting how much community plays a role into success stories. Whether or not it’s best technologies it comes down to where there are enough people to help me if I don’t know what to do.22:43 – Rahul: People, even enterprises, are there.23:15 – Chuck: At what point (let’s say I docked my app) should they be looking at https://kubernetes.io? Are you waiting on traffic? How do you make that call?23:56 – Rahul answers the questions.26:29 – Rahul: If your application is...27:13 – https://www.digitalocean.com/ 27:51 – Chuck: How does someone get started with https://kubernetes.io?27:53 – Rahul answers the question.30:00 – Chuck: It sounds like you have an amateur setup – Dave?30:21 – Dave: I think the problem is that there is not a https://kubernetes.io for dummies blog post. There has always been some sort of “gottcha!” As much as these documents say that there are solutions here and there, but you will see that there are networking issues. Once you get that up and running, then there are more issues at hand. The other strange thing is that once everything seems to be working okay, and then I started getting connectivity issues. It’s definitely not an afternoon project. It takes researching and googling. At the end, it takes a direction at large that the community is investing into.32:58 – Chuck makes additional comments.33:21 – Dave adds more comments. Sorry bad joke – Dave.33:40 – Topic – Virtualization.34:32 – Having Swamp is a good idea.34:44 – Rahul adds his comments.36:54 – Panelist talks about virtualization and scaling.37:45 – Rahul adds in comments about the ecosystems.38:21 – Panelist talks about server-less functions. 39:11 – Rahul: Not every application can...40:32 – Panelist: I guess the whole downside to...41:07 – Rahul talks about this.43:03 – Chuck to Eric: Any problems with https://kubernetes.io for you?43:05 – Eric: Yes – just spelling it! For me it feels like you are in a jet with all of these different buttons. There are 2 different types of developers. I am of DevOps-minded. That’s why we are getting solutions, and tools like Heroku to help. When I listen to this conversation, I feel quiet only because you guys are talking about spiders and I’m afraid of spiders.44:44 – Dave to Eric: Having information and knowledge about https://kubernetes.io will help you as a developer. Having some awareness can really help you as a developer.45:43 – Chuck: There are all these options to know about it – they way he is talking about it sounds like it’s the person on the jet. Don’t touch the red button and don’t’ cut the wrong wire! It feels like with software – it’s a beautiful thing – you erase it and reinstall it!46:50 – Dave: What? What are all of these crazy words?! What does this exactly mean? The visibility is definitely not there for someone who is just tinkering with it.47:16 – Rahul: It’s not for someone who is tinkering with it. Definitely.50:02 – Chuck: We have been talking about benefits of https://kubernetes.io – great. What kinds of processes to setup with https://kubernetes.io to make your life easier?50:40 Rahul answers the question.53:54 – Rahul’s Social Media Accounts – check them out under LINKS.54:29 – https://devchat.tv/get-a-coder-job/ Links:- https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/3074500-ruby-rogues?store_id=172938- https://devchat.tv/get-a-coder-job/- https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/- https://www.javascript.com- http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/ode.htm- https://www.heroku.com/languages- https://aws.amazon.com/eks/- https://kubernetes.io- https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/- https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/minikube/- https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/kubernetes-service/- https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/independent/create-cluster-kubeadm/- https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/kubespray- https://www.docker.com/products/docker-enterprise- https://rancher.com- https://www.katacoda.com/courses/kubernetesby Ben Hall- https://allthingsdevops.bigbinary.com- http://nanobox.com- https://cloud66.com- https://www.chef.io- https://puppet.com- https://www.ansible.com- https://www.saltstack.com- https://www.orangecomputers.com/node/- https://slashrahul.in-Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ruby-rogues--6102073/support.

Panel: - Charles Max Wood- Dave Kimura- Eric Berry Special Guests: https://jeffkreeftmeijer.com In this episode of Ruby Rogues, the panel talks to https://jeffkreeftmeijer.com who is a Ruby and Elixir developer at https://appsignal.com. Jeff writes for the https://appsignal.com newsletter and has a blog. Check out today’s episode where the panel talks about AppSignal, Russian doll caching, Drifting Ruby, JavaScript Sprinkles, cache warming, N+1 plus other topics.Show Topics:2:47 – Code Fund & https://newrelic.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpbDg_MSz3QIVAhtpCh2qpgebEAAYASAAEgJnivD_BwE&utm_campaign=googlebrand+JM+ABM+Q1FY19+acq+NORAM&utm_medium=PS&utm_source=Google 3:40 – https://appsignal.com might be the only support for https://elixir-lang.org.4:12 – The integration, the ease was so simple and your (Jeff) documentation made it very easy.4:46 – Comparatively to New Relic, https://appsignal.com is cheaper, isn’t it?4:59 – We don’t charge for host, we charge per request. That’s where to difference in price comes from. You get a number of requests in your plan. https://appsignal.com – you pay for what you use.5:50 – Chuck has used New Relic in the past, but only pay for the month that he needs.6:07 – Panelist talks with Josh Adams and relays the conversation to the panel and the guest.6:48 – Eric to Dave: Do you run into this with https://www.driftingruby.com? Where people just pay for what they need and cancel afterwards.7:41 – Dave: Yes, I do come across this. There isn’t much you can do about it. People will do what they need to do.8:24 – Jeff: We don’t have a lot of this problem with https://appsignal.com. By the way, I have never done that before – you are all horrible! ☺9:02 – Chuck: Let’s dive into is what is your approach to performance on Rails?9:24 – We started the vlog series to help them with that. Sometimes you run into limits of what Ruby can do, and stuff like caching can help. It’s never really a single issue. That’s one of our challenges as a company to hook into everything (integration). We do support, per communication, to help with tech issues, but usually it’s set-up related. Everybody’s problems are different because everyone’s set-up is different.11:02 – Chuck: Most of these posts are about caching and other topics. I’m going to go to something that I misunderstood for a while and that is https://blog.appsignal.com/2018/04/03/russian-doll-caching-in-rails.html I didn’t quite make the connection in my head.11:40 – First, let’s talk about fragment caching.13:49 – Jeff explains https://blog.appsignal.com/2018/04/03/russian-doll-caching-in-rails.html 18:44 – Chuck makes comments and asks Jeff a question.19:43 – Jeff confirms the panelist’s answer.22:00 – Jeff: Another solution is https://github.com/avand/sprinkles 22:27 – Digital Ocean’s Advertisement.23:12 – Question from Chuck to Jeff.23:38 – Chuck talks about what he will discuss at the Summit conference in October.23:55 – Panelist has had experience with https://blog.appsignal.com/2018/04/03/russian-doll-caching-in-rails.html. Performance can be smoke in mirrors. Application he worked on before, we did tons of caching (query caching, https://blog.appsignal.com/2018/04/03/russian-doll-caching-in-rails.html, and others) it was all about handling the cache key.25:32 – More comments about caching from another panelist. https://www.section.io/blog/what-is-cache-warming/ is mentioned, too.26:46 – How do you utilize https://www.section.io/blog/what-is-cache-warming/?27:39 – Chuck asks a question.27:44 – Question answered.28:12 – Does something like this exist for http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/ode.htm?28:28 – Jeff: I don’t think there is something like that for http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/ode.htm.28:50 – Chuck: When do you want to use one caching over another caching?29:09 – Jeff: “Depends on a couple of things. https://blog.appsignal.com/2018/04/24/active-record-performance-the-n+1-queries-antipattern.html is a feature and that you “should” rely on https://blog.appsignal.com/2018/04/03/russian-doll-caching-in-rails.html, and generally that is not an accepted thing. You could do that, but that is applied to a specific thing. What do you guys think?”30:31 – Panelist: Rendering partials is an expensive endeavor.31:38 – This topic continues between panelists and Jeff.32:25 – Jeff: Fragment caching is a good fit for that.32:56 – Question: You have a blog, one of your posts that you talk about you discuss open source projects maintainable. Talk to me how that led you to write it?33:32 – Jeff: Three things you should not do, based on mistakes that I made in the past.1.) https://github.com/jeffkreeftmeijer/navvy – had adapters for everything.2.) Dropping support for older visions of your dependencies.3.) Hand over projects if you can’t help anymore.This whole article is based on me messing up.35:07 – Chuck makes some comments.35:27 – Panelist: Ran into a problem the other day, there is a dependency that hasn’t been updated in over a year. They are waiting to solve all issues. I submitted an issue to be resolved.37:02 – https://blog.appsignal.com/2018/04/24/active-record-performance-the-n+1-queries-antipattern.html – is it a bug or a feature?37:12 – If you do nothing with it then it is a bug.37:21 – Chuck: to me a bug is an issue. It’s not a bug it’s inefficiency unless you turn it into something else.37:42 – Jeff: https://blog.appsignal.com/2018/04/24/active-record-performance-the-n+1-queries-antipattern.html is an undesirable feature? It’s not necessarily a bug. You need a very reliable caching layer.38:25 – Chuck: What is a very reliable caching layer?38:38 – Jeff answers the question.40:50 – https://redis.io is mentioned.42:04 – Jeff (guest) comments on the panelists’ thoughts.42:37 – Picks?42:57 – https://devchat.tv/get-a-coder-job/ 43:34 – PicksLinks:- https://devchat.tv/get-a-coder-job/- https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/- https://www.javascript.com- http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/ode.htm- https://appsignal.com- https://blog.appsignal.com/2018/04/03/russian-doll-caching-in-rails.html- https://github.com/avand/sprinkles- https://www.section.io/blog/what-is-cache-warming/- https://blog.appsignal.com/2018/04/24/active-record-performance-the-n+1-queries-antipattern.html- https://redis.io- https://blog.appsignal.com/2018/03/20/fragment-caching-in-rails.html- https://github.com/thekompanee/fuubar- https://github.com/jeffkreeftmeijer/navvy- http://asciidoc.org- https://asciidoctor.org- https://meetme.so/ElixirMix- https://newrelic.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpbDg_MSz3QIVAhtpCh2qpgebEAAYASAAEgJnivD_BwE&utm_campaign=googlebrand+JM+ABM+Q1FY19+acq+NORAM&utm_medium=PS&utm_source=Google- https://elixir-lang.org-Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ruby-rogues--6102073/support.

Panel: Charles Max WoodDavid RichardsDave KimuraEric Berry Special Guests: John HawthornIn this episode of Ruby Rogues, the panel talks to John Hawthorn about MJIT. John has been a Ruby programmer for about 9 years and is based in Victoria, B.C. They talk about what MJIT is, the effects you can see from using the MJIT compiler, and why the JIT doesn’t always work with other languages. They also touch on how you can use the JIT in your own code, how he makes his performance better, and more!Show Topics:1:36 – John is a Ruby programmer, and has been one for the past 9 years, and he is based out of Victoria, B.C.5:00 – He had always been curious how a JIT would work and found that it was always too difficult to work with. Since discovering MJIT, he has been able to work with these compilers because he understands how to work with C code.7:36 – Ruby has a bytecode and it looks a lot like an assembly language, which is approachable to a Rubyist.8:24 – The core of MJIT is an ERB template which take this bytecode, loops over it, and emits C code.9:01 – Effects that you can seem from the JIT in your own code is that it uses a really tight math loop, making your code faster.11:25 – Other languages aren’t suited for compilers like JIT because they are so flexible to begin with. And in some cases, it doesn’t make sense to JIT compile.13:05 – The compiled code now is not reusable by other workers and works better with one compilation per process.15:20 – The temp folder gets cleared immediately after its run, but this compiled code is probably going to stay in memory forever.17:30 – The MJIT doesn’t work as well with Rails because the code can’t get warmed up enough. Some things aren’t friendly to a JIT.20:24 – If someone wants to play with the JIT, as long as you have any Ruby version manager, install any of the previewed releases of 2.6 and then run with --jit.21:44 – Online, you can look into following people who have written various Ruby libraries to look at performance. You can look at people like Sam Saffron and Julia Evans.23:57 –TruffleRuby is a new front-end on top of a mature virtual machine whereas MJIT is a brand new virtual machine on top of a Ruby front-end.27:57 – The MJIT had no effect on his work, it was just really fun and interesting to look into.28:29 – To make his performance better, he allocates fewer objects, does less loops, and writes better queries.29:02 – You want to run a profiler that will give you a better idea of where to look for performance issues, but you really need a proper benchmark to say what is wrong with your performance. A great benchmark you can use is benchmark-ips.31:59 – The “gotcha” of doing this kind of work is verifying that you’ve actually improved it.33:41 – Before we have the JIT in production, we are going to be using these techniques to find out if the JIT is helping us.Links:Get a Coder Job CourseRubyMJITPlaying with ruby's new JIT: MJIT by John HawthornRailsBootsnapSam SaffronJulia EvansTruffleRubybenchmark-ips@jhawthornjohnhawthorn.comJohn’s GitHub SponsorsSentryDigital OceanGet a Coder Job CoursePicks:CharlesIron Druid Chronicles by Kevin HearneZoomNotionEric BegayDaveSony WH-1000XM2Ryobi Bench SanderDavidStephen Fry in AmericaEricRemote for SlidesZoomJohnJulia Evans Blog PostsCelesteSpecial Guest: John Hawthorn.
