I love you, in case I die 🖤
In #Ruby, the HTTP class is called Net::HTTP and is required with `require ‘net/http’`
I’m curious if there were other `net/???` classes in the past? Did they go away? What else could/should be in `net/…`?
TIL: qsv for CSV wrangling
*Really* fast
Does lots of things
Written in Rust
It instantly chewed thru 18mb 80k+ lines of .csv, removing lines breaks in column values causing literal line breaks
I used this:
qsv replace '\r?\n' ' ' in.csv --output in.csv
Do you have any old unused Macs you wanna give away?
Trashcan Mac Pro, Mac Mini, laptops, cheese grater Mac Pro towers…
(I want to explore repurposing older Macs as little home servers that do one thing each. It seems silly to pay… anything for them, because a new Macbook Neo or Mac Mini is ~$600)
Honest #Ruby/#Rails question…
If you love using a write-HTML-in-Ruby tools, why?
What does it do for you?
Historically:
Markaby, markaby, mab, Slim, Haml, …
Recently:
ViewComponent, Glimmer, Phlex…
Asking genuinely, respectfully, is it that you don't like / don't want to write HTML?
IMO, the framing of an LLM/agent as a “junior” developer is wrong
A more accurate framing is a developer brand new to a team/project with no historical context or experience *in this project*. And only a short term memory
Because frankly, some LLM/agent generated code is well above “junior” level
The attack on Iran is an attack on all of us
Who do I know at GitHub these days?
I need to report a thing privately.
If you know me, send me your Signal pls.
If you’re a friend of a friend, have the friend connect us pls.
Space travel and the internet would not be possible without a lot of transisters, largely unseen and unappreciated

Words matter.
If members of the American military get captured while in Iraq, they’re not “hostages”. They’re prisoners of war.*
Framing it as “hostage situation” is lazy at best and actively malicious at worst.
Either way is dangerous.
🌸 We’ll go where flowers grow
Their attempts to silence and separate us—to make us vulnerable to repression and attack, to hold us back and keep us down—will never be more powerful than our love and joyous anarchy. 🏴
A modest UI/UX proposal: The “I already know/use this website with a different account, maybe even for years… don’t show me any of the intro tour stuff” challenge.
(I don’t mean *this* website where you’re reading this. I mean any website.)
Anyone know what this is/was?
PCB with “DD-20B” printed.
An LED on one end.
A click button on the other.
Takes two LR44 batteries.
All my searches lead to probably cheap OEM flashlight.
But I’m curious is crowd wisdom has a more specific answer.
Good luck / thanks!

@pointlessone@status.pointless.one friendly unsolicited communication advice: dial back your confidence setting by ~20% :)
we agree that making cross platform native apps was/is hard, with crummy results
but, I don't care about cross platform with unified UI. I only care about macOS/iOS (for certain things).
I even said as much in my post that you're replying to:
- let’s assume macOS/iOS only for now
so. if we forget cross platform, for a moment, does that change your perspective?
Happy Rex Manning Day! 🎉
What’s the deal with text editors/IDEs not having a way to print?

#PDX #Portland— do I know anyone in town who has a digital manometer that I can use tonight?
No store in town has them in stock.
For reference: https://www.amazon.com/Manometer-Differential-Klein-Tools-ET180/dp/B099ZYCV1L
(What’s the point of brick and mortar stores if I still have to order online!?)
I love that to express “mobile, adventure, off-grid”, the canonical best way to do that is a photo of a Vanagon out in nature somewhere 🚐🏔️

@hover@mastodon.social Hi Hover folks, I have an urgent customer support problem that your phone team made worse
Is there anyone actively monitoring this Mastodon account that I could talk with?
:45 minute really well produced youtube about the potential existential danger from quoteunquote super intelligence to humans, civilization, and all of life:

Does anyone know how to make ol’ Cafe Flore’s lemon berry cake?
It was like Cap’n Crunchberries as a cake (complimentarily!)
Actual berries in it.
When they closed, a friend of a friend bought as much as they had and drove it LA to SF for me!
Fittingly, it was the last photo I uploaded to Flickr.
