Quote: On Optcarrot, a CPU intensive benchmark, Ruby 2.6 has 1.7x faster performance compared to Ruby 2.5. The JIT compiler, however, is still experimental and workloads like Rails might not benefit from for now.
So, they speed up the language behind the slowest web platform in a way that doesn't actually benefit the one case where ruby performance matters. Rails sites with more than 0 users.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The Mars Express Orbiter has captured images of a huge crater full of ice on the surface of Mars, just in time for the holiday season. I guess that settles the "is there water" debate.

I guess next year's NHL Winter Classic has a venue

That's not ice.

It’s practically a rule in tech: If it has electricity, eventually it will run Doom. Now a Roomba might have been a bit tricky to work into that equation, given the lack of things like a screen, but game developer Rich Whitehouse has found a way with a new tool he calls “Doomba” that can take floor map data from the smart cleaning robots and convert it into Doom levels, according to Polygon.

I requested a user guide from the Context-A-Matic makers, but they're an agile shop, so they sent me a PDF of their doxygen output, with the words "User Manual" on the front page.

Apple has confirmed to The Verge that some of its 2018 iPad Pros are shipping with a very slight bend in the aluminum chassis. But according to the company, this is a side effect of the device’s manufacturing process and shouldn’t worsen over time or negatively affect the flagship iPad’s performance in any practical way. Apple does not consider it to be a defect. It's not just an iPad, it's also a boomerang!

Microsoft didn't make a big deal about it, but it released a very cool application called Font Maker this year. It lets you create a font out of your own handwriting. Handwriting... Is that the one without the keyboard?

So if anyone needs a font that no-one can read, I'm your guy.
But what a great way for ms to spend its precious developer hours.
