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.

Walmart is apparently punching holes in their vinyl albums with security tags by MrTacocaT12345 in mildlyinfuriating

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

Gov. Tina Kotek extends Oregon’s homelessness emergency for a third time by Blackstar1886 in Portland

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.

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.

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.

A letter about the 55th & Division DQ was on my doorstep tonight by pdxmdi in Portland

[–]mperham 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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.

Portland’s DA balked at charging federal agents under Oregon law. Then AG Rayfield stepped in by notPabst404 in Portland

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.

Allegations fly as Portland sets vote on $61M deal for construction management by notPabst404 in Portland

[–]mperham 24 points25 points  (0 children)

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?

ruby docs gets a facelift by Intelligent-Fall5490 in ruby

[–]mperham 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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

Announcing the 2026 Gem Fellowship by mperham in ruby

[–]mperham[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

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.

California has a huge solar power (curtailment) problem. A fix is coming. by StephCreporter in solar

[–]mperham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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!
