Updated gem versions based on Dependabot security issues. I also ran Rideshare with Postgres 18 and app tests passed, looking good.
Originally Rideshare used Postgres 16. I'd planned to keep it updated for at least several years along with the book (published in 2024). github.com/andyatkinson...

TIL "order by" in Postgres can filter rows w/ an expression, e.g.
create table foo (c text);
insert into foo (c) values ('bar'), ('baz'), (null);
select * from foo order by c = 'baz' desc nulls last;
c
-----
baz
bar
(3 rows)
Weird to me, but valid!
