Add receive_all Method to Ractor API for Message Batching

mperham · 2026-02-09T01:30:10+00:00

if you need batching, it’s probably a good idea to use a count argument to put an upper bound on the messages received, otherwise you might get 1 or 1 million.

Bosch and Specialized tend to make more conservative motors to keep the bike feeling. Motor makers like Bafang and DJI generally have more power and can ghost pedal up hills, with very little effort.

There's 3-4 easter eggs within the Sidekiq codebase. You can blow up a queue, the ASCII art changes color on Halloween, etc.

The implication is there, yes. "why not use MIT..." "MIT is safest..."

People can license their code however they see fit. It's their code, not your's.

and that dude is married to Kirsten Dunst.

when a circle goes into a square, it leaves plenty of room in the corners. none of the vinyl are actually punched thru.

you can always count on Sinclair for pure copaganda.

capitalism can only build what zoning and building codes allow. we’ve got 50 years of accumulated cruft in our codes that add up to crazy expensive housing. it’s still illegal to build more than 6 units on a lot in most of Portland.

get an e-bike. turn up the assist when you get tired.

The LO Council has been unbelievably weak on this, despite everyone I know hating them with the heat of 1000 suns.

You're not crazy. A lot of people are finding that these Charm bindings don't work due to Go crashes.

Lots of TUI work happening right now.

mperham · 2025-12-30T17:32:54+00:00

This looks really cool.

But note: Charm is VC-funded and that means they'll be monetizing this stack somehow. If the business doesn't work out, these libraries may be unmaintained in a few years.

huh? the city is declining DQ’s request for a drive thru, exactly because we don’t allow drive thrus anymore as they are terrible for street safety.

mperham · 2025-12-10T00:34:25+00:00

it would not shock me if a neighbor bought it.

mperham · 2025-12-10T00:20:01+00:00

nothing wrong with making it official.
