Why Ruby on Rails still matters

I found vinyl records from my late grandfather recently. It struck me how this media from the previous millennium played without issues.

wired.com David Cox 2025-11-18 17:26:30

After a lifetime on the frontiers of the fight against HIV, Linda-Gail Bekker could finally see the end of the epidemic in sight. For decades, HIV experts had dreamed of an elusive vaccine to block the ongoing chain of infections, which still sees more than 1 million people worldwide contract the virus annually.
