I’m a new Ruby user. Been a dev for more than a decade and I picked it up for various things over the last year or two. These were not legacy projects, this was purely my curiosity to explore new tools. Have really enjoyed it!

Tangential question: is it common for frameworks to use the same name as a package from another framework? I had never heard of Django LiveView, but have used Phoenix’s Liveview and assumed that’s what it was. Not sure if I like that? I.e.

I believe UFOs are mostly an op to intimidate foreign governments, i.e. US trying to say to China “hey we got some stuff you’ve never heard seen” so as to introduce uncertainty into their war games. They aren’t to demonstrate power; they ar

That keyboard layout is a great analogy. Maybe I would have tried Helix in my early twenties, but I’m too old for that now (30s lol).

I have a huge disdain for artists who do not bleed and sweat like the rest of us doing jobs we don’t necessarily enjoy. Especially in this age of opulence. Welcome to life. Art should capture truth, the essence of things, and how can you do

Can you expand on this? Was your site pretty static or did it have a lot of interactivity? What were the best things you observed in Astro vs Laravel?

This is great! Hat tip to PHP. I first came across pipes in Elixir and have ever since missed it in every other language. Two observations: - pipes make you realize how much song and dance you do for something quite simple. Nesting, interst

Bach and Part are the two composers who make music not just of man but of the glory of God Himself. IYKYK.

His in ring performance will always give me goosebumps, every time. I’ve seen him start puffing his cheeks, shaking his head, no-selling punches, and finger pointing a million and every…single…time it gets me excited and pumped. And all for

I did the same thing recently, excluding quotes from books. Every other note, How To, and To Do gone. It provided tremendous relief. The vast majority of the stuff may as well have been written by a complete stranger. But, again, I kept my

Exactly. It is just like professional wrestling. It’s not a matter of thinking it’s real, magic is all about being so damn entertained that you don’t care whether it’s real.

Wouldnt it be nice is such an amazing piece of art. Grew up hearing it, never listening to the lyrics. Thought it was fun. As an adult finally paid attention to the lyrics one day and they knocked me off my feet. The happiest most upbeat

I loved his shows when I was a kid. I was pretty into magic (e.g. going to the local shop and buying tricks) and this show was the most exciting thing I had ever seen. I get that it broke many rules, but I think it was well timed. If it h

Haven’t read Dickens, but Melville was a revelation for me. His short stories are great, but Moby Dick is a work of glory. It’s hard to explain why, but Moby Dick basically bifurcated my life: there was the time before I read it and the tim

Interesting! I use a budgeting app that has curious loading screens when you first log in. Sometimes it flies by, sometimes it takes a bit. It doesn’t appear to be related to data import, as data isn’t in sync when you log in. I wonder if w

I'm sensing an uncomfortable amount of human labor behind this. Even worse it appears to be labor done for the sake of the thing itself. shudder Terrible and makes me feel bad about myself. Back to the AI slop I go!

I can't help but read this in a baritone blustering-with-spittle transatlantic voice.

I hate it. Total revulsion of that hand. Makes me want to vomit. Single handedly turns me off from the product.

Obligatory comment: Moby Dick is a work of stunning glory and if you think you can abridge it you are missing the entire point.

Singing in adult choirs has been one of my most spiritually and socially rewarding activities. You really feel a brother in arms with your fellow singers. Perhaps it is because singing is such an embarrassing activity in isolation, but then

That’s a fascinating take. Music until very recently was indeed an incredibly social activity bound with layers of talent, leisure (purpose/meaning/security), belonging, etc. As people have been chatting about the Metaverse or AR
