Fascinating post about tuning memory usage with Ruby apps: https://www.joyfulbikeshedding.com/blog/2019-03-14-what-causes-ruby-memory-bloat.html

@eljojo welcome!

You know you're getting old when you find yourself wishing that RubyGems weren't always named using puns...

@codesections I switched to #emacs (via #spacemacs) last year and while I can't comment on the multi-decade prospects, I've been very happy with the ecosystem so far

@jeromedalbert I believe something like guard’s mapping might help with that

I put it in a file called `~/bin/test-diff` and mark it as executable.

A script to run tests changed since master, pretty handy when checking PRs:

test_runner = File.exists?("Gemfile") ? "bundle exec " : ""
test_runner += if File.exists?("config/application.rb")
"rails test"
elsif File.directory?("spec")
"rspec"
elsif File.directory?("test")
"ruby -Itest"
else
"ruby"
end
changed_test_files = `git log --name-only --pretty=oneline --full-index master..HEAD`.split.select { |f| f =~ /\Atest|spec/ }
exec "#{test_runner} #{changed_test_files.join(' ')}"

@judofyr I always figured it was a place to put all the not-really-OO stuff that doesn't really belong in Object and subclasses (like convenient IO and running subprocesses and other procedural helpers)

@lodestone wow, such a long time ago! Hope you're doing well, and I'll have a think about anyone I can refer to Laurie's study :)
