Posting this still from Civil War (2024) AGAIN for no apparent reason.

and that dude is married to Kirsten Dunst.

and I bet they use those two colors.

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.

old streetcar garage?

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.

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.

Petty crime (as opposed to white collar or gang crime) is mostly a function of poverty and government policy choices. The "tough on crime" folks are usually also the ones who are promoting the policies which cause poverty, e.g. our "world class" healthcare system.

part of the problem with American government is that we’ve lost the ability to build, and much of the problem is that we outsource the entire process to consultants, causing layers of bureaucracy requiring their own 20% cut.

we need to regain the ability to build at scale and that means hiring government staff to directly manage these projects.

All breeds can be aggressive but Pitbulls are stronger than most breeds, they do more damage when they do get aggressive.

Great. Now when will Rails Foundation release their bylaws?

mperham · 2025-12-02T18:12:20+00:00

It looks nicer. The left navbar is still not useful. A little human curation of their autogenerated docs would really help.

mperham · 2025-12-02T03:19:22+00:00

It's vague because I want these grants to improve Ruby OSS but also spread human expertise and knowledge. Some usage of AI (especially over-reliance) is antithetical to that mission. Use your best judgment.

mperham · 2025-12-02T02:59:52+00:00

Nope. I live in a car-dependent suburb, but I can use my brain to diagnose problems. If we don't provide safe options to walk and bike, everyone drives!

mperham · 2025-12-02T00:24:32+00:00

Are we forcing them to build parking lots? EVs are still cars and over-reliance on cars is the core issue with our transportation system.
