What Hacker News says?

  1. It's cool to see this posted here. Refrigerator has been around for a number of years, but it doesn't get much press. It was originally developed as part of my work getting production Ruby web applications to run in chroot environments, where you cannot load libraries after chrooting (for more details, see https://code.jeremyevans.net/presentations/rubyhack2018/inde... ). This allows you to emulate that type of chro…

A fair number of the dependencies we have also have 100% branch coverage, because I copied the practice, starting about ten years ago, from Jeremy Evans, who maintains a huge number of libraries under that principle. That includes "Sequel," the ORM that I've…
