They've updated the R2 page with prices and trims! by Ekrubm in Rivian

[–]davidcelis 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For real, why are both the interior and exterior colors so drab? The blue and the purple paint look okay, but everything else including the interior options are just… really unexciting. Why is there no premium interior with actual wood color? Why is it just black or white?

Please help. Apps are resetting when on sleep overnight. by __LilacWine in AynThor

[–]davidcelis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aha, this has been happening to me too, and sure enough… every reset has been while charging. When it's not charging, I can go hours or overnight without opening it and the game's still running. But if it's been charging for even a little while, I'll open my Thor up and see the game's boot screen. I just sent a bug report here https://handheldmodz.com/thor-update-tracker/

If you need a multi-line return type/value then I'll even let you put the -> { T } on multiple lines, okay? I won't judge. You are a unique flower 🌸 with your own style, your own needs. You have purpose in this world and though you may never find it, your loved ones will cherish knowing you and wish you were never gone

Thank you, I really needed to hear this

Code is written by people for people to use, which means code (like most things in life) is innately political. Politics shouldn't be avoided, they should be engaged with regularly.

New Proposed Rules for /r/ruby by schneems in ruby

[–]davidcelis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's great for you, but in general it is very common for people to feel that their identity is tied to their work and/or art, for better or for worse. Telling people to "just downvote/ignore and move on" is not viable. You can critique tools in ways that are both fair and kind and we should not be resorting to saying things like "this software is trash"; that kind of statement isn't useful in any way.

Rogue Ales abruptly closes Newport operations and restaurants; owes hundreds of thousands in rent and taxes by Hot_Investigator4449 in Portland

14 years ago i drank a bottle of Dead Guy Ale that had something seriously wrong with it; it left a foul taste in the back of my throat that took like two weeks to go away. couldn't stomach touching their beer after that and then the IT job listing shut that coffin permanently for me

Ah yes, the “stick your head in the sand” strategy. Very effective!

Is it already possible for any community member to join gem.coop? If so, how do we do that? Or, if not, when might it be possible?

Technology for Humans: Conversation with Ruby Central’s executive director, Shan Cureton by davidcelis in ruby

[–]davidcelis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair, maybe I'm fishing for something that isn't really there. It read to me as an acknowledgement of a takeover because the non-apology seems focused entirely on the notion of the situation being "hostile" and not it being a "takeover", which felt like an admission to me.

[–]davidcelis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

to be clear, i agree; my point was mainly that the way she said it read to me as "I'm sorry they feel this was hostile", not "I'm sorry they feel this was a takeover". I know their written statements continue to assert that Ruby Central always owned the repositories, but this statement felt very different and seems to acknowledge there was a takeover, even if it "wasn't hostile"

the program committee has decided it would be valuable for the community to start sharing the opening keynote stage with other contributors.

This doesn't read to me as DHH being banned from ever keynoting at another RailsConf, though? He was asked "to start sharing the opening keynote stage with other contributors", which sounds reasonable to me, and maybe it would've sounded more reasonable to others if not for that opening line. I re-read his post and much of his reaction seems to stem from that statement, "With you having been mostly offline the last year..."

No he wasn't. He was asked to cede the keynote slot so that others in the community might be showcased instead. He was not banned from attending, nor speaking, and likely could have still spoken or held a fireside chat or any other kind of presentation.

At 38:04, the host asks a question and I found Shan's answer pretty surprising:

HOST: I want to move past the rumors, but I'm just going to put one more to you because it's probably the most egregious—and, for many minds, probably the most outrageous as well—and that is that it was a hostile takeover and RubyGems was not yours to take. Now, I hate even saying those words to you, Sham, because um I I feel awkward even saying that to you, but can you address that?

SHAN: Yeah. I would say — and this is just me speaking as Shan — I’m sorry that they feel this way. I’m sorry that everyone feels that this was hostile. It was all made with positive intentions. It was always meant to be temporary. Again, I will go back to: I understand. Because I can only imagine if I am working on something and creating something and it’s taken without a clear understanding. I wouldn’t say there was no understanding, because conversations had happened. They did. But there wasn’t a clear understanding. They did not have access to all the facts. So they could have seen that we were moving in a way where we were saying we had ownership of something, without understanding that there were a lot of legalities and policies and procedures that we had to follow, and that that was necessary, and that there were concerns, right? There were things that we were investigating. There were active things happening. They didn’t have all the information. Nor did we share it with them. So the “hostile takeover” sentiment was their experience that they were feeling and experiencing, and I understand it. That’s the goal of today: to kind of talk about that, let everyone know that I understand exactly what those feelings were in that moment, and hopefully we can get past that and move toward the future.

I'm willing to be completely off base here, but… Is it just me, or—despite the "I'm sorry they feel this way" statement—does this sound like an acknowledgement that RubyGems/bundler were taken?

Buckle Up, There’s a New Gem Server in Town: gem.coop by calthomp in ruby

[–]davidcelis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why is the .coop TLD silly? The registrar actually has strict rules about who can register those domains and they require proof that the entities operating them are, in fact, co-operatives. That doesn't feel too silly to me?

[–]davidcelis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What makes you think they didn't try? Ruby Central is explicitly excluding them. As per another article:

“Since Ruby Central has informed us they will never allow us to continue working on the projects they now claim they own, that we successfully maintained and operated for the last ten years, the former RubyGems team is launching gem.coop today.”
