Rails 5.0.0.beta2: Slashed Action Cable dependencies, fixes galore

3pts0

I've recently switched from GitHub Copilot Pro to Claude Code Max (20x). While Claude is clearly superior in many aspects, one area where it falls short is remote/cloud agents.

Yesterday, I spent the entire day trying to set up "Claude on the web" for an Elixir project and eventually had to give up. Their network firewall kept killing Hex/rebar3 dependency resolution, even after I selected "full" network access.

The environment setup for "on the web" is just a bash script. And when something goes wrong, you only see the tail of the log. There is currently no way to view the full log for the setup script. It's really a pain to debug.

The Copilot equivalent to "Claude on the web" is "GitHub Copilot Coding Agents," which leverages GitHub Actions infrastructure and conventions (YAML files with defined steps). Despite some of the known flaws of GitHub Actions, it felt significantly more robust.

"Schedule task on the web" is based on the same infrastructure and conventions as "Claude on the web", so I'm afraid I'm gonna have the same troubles if I want to use this.

A good question is why Google is using only one tile to measure LCP for sites that have maps taking 50% of the viewport.

Is it just a coincidence, or did they make it to avoid ruining LCP metrics for large sites using Google Maps extensively (Airbnb, rent.com, etc.)?

From the article:

We can be almost certain that React & React Native are a competitive advantage. We can see evidence in how Facebook simultaneously launched Snapchat-like “Stories” across four applications (WhatsApp, Messenger, Facebook, and Instagram) in its product suite.

It’s not hard to infer that React was a key reason why Facebook was able to do this so rapidly.

Is there any actual evidence that React / React Native was used to build the Stories feature for any of these apps?

I do not see why I should entrust anybody but the bank with information about my wealth. This will get abused and I will probably get nudged into this, so that the company selling an unrelated product can sell my information.

Believe or not, many people (consumers) do this. For example: every Mint.com user

I'm a bit confused. From this library's README:

If you are investigating navigation solutions and you are okay with JavaScript-based solutions, we also encourage you to check out React Navigation.

However if you go to React Navigation home page [1] you find this:

Navigation views that deliver 60fps animations, and utilize native components to deliver a great look and feel.

It looks like every RN navigation library claims to be more "native" than the previous ones.

[1] https://github.com/airbnb/native-navigation/

[2] https://reactnavigation.org/

Yoodle used to be the provider for Mint [1]. I assume they use some combination of authorized + non-authorized web-scrapping.

It looks like something that makes sense for big companies. The pricing [2] is a bit weird:

Developers will find the Envestnet | Yodlee Aggregation API – our new and improved RESTful API architecture – easy to use, which will speed up integration and simplify data access. It will also enable developers to sign up on the developer portal for a $250 monthly fee and get immediate access to a testing and production environment.

So $250/mo just to sign up... no idea about what's the pricing per API call.

If you had your own API exposed to the internet and someone made an HTTP call that "triggers a bug" in your server "and takes the whole system offline", would you sue the guy who made the HTTP call or would you assume it was a bug in your server / app?

And we're not talking about HTTP calls with SQL injection or things like that. We're talking about identical HTTP calls to the ones that the banks' mobile apps do. Same headers, same body.

If someone hacks the app using your library.

Sorry, but I still don't understand what you mean here. There could be a bug in the library in the same manner that there could be bugs in any other open source library. Could those bugs become a security issue for your app? Yes, they could. Despite of this we all use open source software, right?

Let's say you were using Active Merchant[1], would you sue Shopify if someone hacked your app to process irregular payments through your Bank's payment gateway (accessed by Active Merchant [2])?

[1] https://github.com/activemerchant/active_merchant

[2] https://github.com/activemerchant/active_merchant/tree/maste...

when someone finds and exploits a weakness in your library to take my money, I'm screwed.

I'm not sure what kind of exploit or weakness you are thinking about. But the risk of using Bankscrap's gem from your computer is similar to using your bank's mobile app. Bankscrap itself doesn't store any data nor send your credentials to any place other than your bank's API (the same that your mobile app does).

In other words, if you use Bankscrap's gem to build a web app to fetch and store your bank transactions (or someone else's), and your webapp or server gets hacked, obviously the responsibility is yours.
