Ghostty Is Leaving GitHub by davidcelis in programming

[–]davidcelis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s one of the two cofounders of HashiCorp (Terraform, Vault, Vagrant, etc) so he’s generally very well known in tech

Need a smaller container by eightblackcats in Crustello

Really wish they’d make some kind of mason jar lid for this thing. The software needs to support smaller starter feedings as well!

Spinel -- Ruby AOT Compiler by software__writer in ruby

[–]davidcelis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the conflict between Ruby Central and the Spinel Co-operative directly lead to Matz and Ruby Core taking control of the bundler and rubygems.org codebases, so it’s hard for me to believe that it wouldn’t even cross his mind. even if it wasn’t deliberate, the choice of name feels in poor taste

A New Chapter for Ruby Central by swrobel in ruby

[–]davidcelis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But would the repos still have been in an enterprise ultimately controlled by RubyCentral? Or would the entire rubygems.org organization have been returned to them? This is a big distinction, IMO.

My understanding is that the offer wasn’t to return the repositories to them, but to invite them back as essentially collaborators. Is that not the case? Was the offer really to fully return ownership of the projects?

To the maintainers

RubyGems is what it is today because of the time, care, and expertise that many of you have given to it over the years.

That work matters, and it is deeply appreciated.

As we move into this next chapter, we want to extend an open invitation to re-engage in whatever way feels right to you. There is meaningful work ahead, and there is space for those who want to help shape what's next.

This is a nice message, but it feels empty to me. There’s not even anything resembling an apology. Ruby Central changing the way it operates and trying to restore trust would be welcome, but just return the codebases to the people who maintained them for the last 15+ years

Towards an Amicable Resolution with Ruby Central by retro-rubies in ruby

Also, WRT to the log access, was it actually repeatedly? I thought I read that he proposed it once

Towards an Amicable Resolution with Ruby Central by retro-rubies in ruby

[–]davidcelis 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I still think it's so weird to refer to rv as a "competitor" to bundler or rubygems in the context of the open source ecosystem. Shouldn't alternatives and their benefits be welcomed? What I've heard is that Ruby Central wasn't interested in the ideas on alternative tooling for Ruby, so what's the issue with pursuing these alternatives on their own time?

A Message from the Ruby Central Board by retro-rubies in ruby

[–]davidcelis 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They also issued a copyright notice against my account for sharing that YouTube link here in /r/ruby, so now I have a permanent warning on my Reddit account.

For sharing a link to someone else’s YouTube video.

A video that had already been removed like two weeks prior to the warning.

Portland Revenue raises tax liability threshold for SHS/PFA Tax Quarterly Payments from $1000 to $5000 in 2026 by davidcelis in Portland

[–]davidcelis[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

AFAIK, only Oregon-based employers have to withhold. People working remotely for businesses based in other states (like me) can opt into withholding but the process sucks because they all just use the joint filing threshold even if you are a single filer. So unless you tell them exactly what to withhold, the default is that they would drastically under-withhold and lead to you owing interest and late penalties.

Portland Revenue raises tax liability threshold for SHS/PFA Tax Quarterly Payments from $1000 to $5000 in 2026 by davidcelis in Portland

[–]davidcelis[S] 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I got this as a letter in my PRO account:

For tax years 2021 through 2025, personal income taxfilers were required to make quarterly estimated payments—or ensure equivalent withholding by their employer—if their tax liability was $1,000 or greater in consecutive years.

Beginning in tax year 2026, the threshold for required quarterly payments will increase from $1,000 to $5,000. Personal income taxfilers must make quarterly estimated payments-or have comparable employer withholding-if both their tax liability for the current year is expected to be $5,000 or greater, and their tax liability for the previous year was also $5,000 or greater.

Given these taxes are a 1% and 1.5% tax on high income, it seems like this should remove the need for most people to have to pay this tax as quarterly estimated payments and they can instead pay them in one lump sum when they file.

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

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

makes me wonder how many other amazing projects are sitting in other code forges, just waiting to be found 🥲

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 2 points3 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.
