I'm with you on this claim :)

But, for the sake of truth: - AirBnB migrated from Rails to a micro-services architecture (which I think, they regretted doing too early - I read that somewhere I believe) - Stripe never used Rails: they use Ruby (and Sinatra for the Web part - i.e. dashboard).

But it's true that Github and Shopify both use and scaled Rails monoliths. There are showing the way :)


gitlab too.


It looks like a "classic" Ruby on Rails + Bootstrap setup


Great game ! Thanks for sharing.

Small suggestion: it would be great to get some information about the picture (location, context, people) in addition to the year, after we tried to guess the date.


Age of Empires but in the browser.

No install. Only web technology. Easy multi-player Possibility to do Massive Multiplayer (100s) or just 2 or 3 Either blitz game (couple of hours max) or persistent


How about an Emscripten WebAssembly port of 0 A.D.?

(Hint, have done it)


Less than half baked, Kong (temp name) is the Goodread for movies.

During lockdown, I decided to watch more movies, including classics. I noticed my friends were doing the same and I wanted to know what they were watching, and which film they were interested in...

Very early. Lots of buggy features. Sorry.

I signed up. Does nothing like this already exist?


Letterboxd


any plans to bring back the code execution as an API?


I've been to the wayback machine. But I couldn't have a look at the interface in itself. only the homepage. thanks for the other link


I don't know your citizenship. But if you are from an eligible country (france, UK, Germany...) you are still eligible for a Working Holiday visa. It's a 1 year visa, quite easy to get. Unfortunately, the US citizens are not allowed to obtain this visa.

I lived in Tokyo for a year, and it's actually quite easy to get a job as a computer engineer there. Several of my friend came with a tourist visa (or Working Holiday visa) and managed to get a visa sponsorship from companies who wanted to hire them. I'm not saying it's super easy, but it is doable. And believe me, there is a shortage of web / mobile engineer in Tokyo.

Finally, don't worry too much about the gap year. Just go there and you'll find something. Go to events and meetups and you ll find plenty of people to talk to. You'll find a lot of opportunities that way.

Wish you the best


Unfortunately my US citizenship precludes the working holiday route. I will look in to attending meetups the next time I'm over there, though.

A danish director made a film on the topic: he follows a Rent-A-Friend business boss who hides what he is doing for a living to his own family Imdb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3242460/


A greek director also made a movie based a very similar idea http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1859446/?ref_=nv_sr_1
