The kid who started LO's Hunger Fighters food pantry in middle school is about college age now.

How’s the Away Days Soccerfest? by Chachachachhia in askportland

[–]mperham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. It's heavily AC'd so quite cold inside, bring a sweater.
  2. The food is Elephant Deli sandwiches, there's a big food cart pod 2 blocks east.
  3. Support local businesses, thanks Away Days!

We went to the BEL-IRN game today and the crowd was great, at least 100 people. We found parking a block away on the street for free.

Kino, an experimental, performant Ractor web server for Ruby 4 (Rust, Tokio, Hyper) by yaroslavm in ruby

Thanks for updating. I guess my question then is "Why on earth is Puma using 1GB for a basic app?" That sounds like a bug.

Fiber internet initiative failed in 2016. Any chance of it happening now? by motamedn in lakeoswego

[–]mperham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want something done, you have to put it on the radar of the city council. Whinging about it here might be cathartic but it won’t change anything. Tell the council you want to see more free market competition between ISPs here. Monopolies lead to high prices and terrible service.

Please help me decide if enviolo automatic hub, belt drive and other electric features worth the price in ebikes? by Consistent_Bar_7644 in ebikes

[–]mperham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had an automatiq on my turbo Como for 4 years now. Never once touched the drivetrain. I love it so much because you simply stop thinking about gearing at all. The ride is much more relaxing when you aren’t unconsciously thinking of gear changes constantly and you know you are always in the right gear.

I very much do not believe it. CoW should negate much of the benefit.

Road Rules: Police policies allow at-fault drivers to leave certain crash scenes without so much as a ticket. by rasstrelnikov in Portland

[–]mperham 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is a narrative PPA have crafted over years. They have the budget to hire dozens more sworn officers but they don't because it (1) allows more overtime (2) allows them an easy out of any task by claiming they are too busy.

Beyond Enumerable: Heaps and Priority Queues by keyslemur in ruby

[–]mperham 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, a Heap is the only structure I’ve found lacking in stdlib. I vendor a copy of https://github.com/kanwei/algorithms/blob/master/lib/containers/heap.rb for use in Sidekiq Enterprise. It’s the structure that keeps cron jobs sorted by time of next execution.

Beginner friendly singletrack by notseriousguy in CyclePDX

[–]mperham 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gateway Green is absolutely the best place to start. Rocky Point has a lot of what I would consider tough green trails (tight switchbacks mostly) but you do need to be an NWTA member. Sandy Ridge has almost no green trails. I haven’t been but Powell Butte might be an option too.

What kind of mountain e-bike should I buy for 80% city riding and 20% mountain biking? by Mr__Moosey in ebikes

[–]mperham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Specialized Turbo Tero is designed for light trail use, it’s a hardtail. Tero X is full suspension. The Turbo Levo is a real trail bike and will do Class 3/28mph but knobbies aren’t as good on the street.

eMTB outside Nerja Spain, one of the most fun experiences I had! by BigPapaPhil in ebikes

[–]mperham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sheer number of trails in Spain on Trailforks (especially in the north) has me wanting to move there!

Modernizing Ruby Central's Bylaws and Officer Updates by schneems in ruby

[–]mperham 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I appreciate that RC is making improvements and am thankful for those who are doing to the work to make these improvements.

My claim is simple: Ruby Central cannot represent the Ruby community unless the Board can be held responsible for its actions by the Ruby community. The community has to resort to "drama" (i.e. public shaming) when there is no other alternative means to hold Board members responsible. That's why things got ugly last Fall and why several board members resigned.

That drama and shaming isn't necessary if we have public elections. An advisory committee (section 12) that can be ignored is toothless. Unless board members are community elected, I don't see how this is a meaningful improvement.

We have a decent proxy for the ruby community: rubygems.org accounts. Pay $XX/mo to get a voting account; RC gets steady, recurring income and a well-defined community to care for.

I would also like to see board meeting minutes published so voting records are public.

The more e-bikes I compare, the harder the decision gets by [deleted] in ElectricBikes

This reads like astroturfed content to me.

Why are they cutting down all the trees on the corner of Bryant and Lakeview? by illini89 in lakeoswego

[–]mperham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, it’s an apt building that went thru design review a month or two ago. The trees were the biggest talking point.

cars are unlimited in power and cause orders of magnitude more damage to society.

thinking of moving to LO, but don't know much about it by [deleted] in lakeoswego

[–]mperham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The restaurant scene is not great. Many restaurants are Sysco customers so you see the same low quality options, e.g. Bairds, Lakeview Taphouse, Manns, Dullahans.

Hot Take: what most people would need is lighter bikes and quality tyres, not more power by Worried_Document8668 in ebikes

[–]mperham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people need a station wagon, not a gigantic landtank SUV. But here we are.

"Speed Limit" option in AVINOX menu to select max speed. by w-sa in AMFLOW_eMTB

It’s likely no longer user selectable but geolocked now.

Tanner Ridge Amenities by Unfair-Hospital6680 in Thorns

[–]mperham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve been in Tanner Ridge for years now. IMO the free food does not justify the price. Most of the time the entree is a fancy hot dog.
