I feel like this is a URL that I don't want in my history
- dcchambers 1y agoSite belongs to Aaron Patterson, one off the most prolific Ruby developers in the world.
- privatelypublic 1y agoSomething something Railed.
- MonkeyClub 1y agoNah that's just a one off
- copperx 1y agoWhy? It's brilliant.
- brulard 1y agoThe URL might be mistaken for some different content?
- k8sToGo 1y agoWell, then don't browse from the church computer
- crazygringo 1y agoWhat's brilliant about it? What's the reference, for those of us unfamiliar?
- rhgraysonii 1y agoIt is simply hilarious to make grown adults visit a website called tender love making dot com (a sexual reference) to read a very specific and niche blog about technology.

- sombragris 1y ago"tender love making" and then the specific URL mention photos and corruption... it could look really bad!
- meterogue 1y agoYou are welcome not to visit it if you do not want to hear from a Rails contributor for over 10 years.
- sombragris 1y agoOf course. I have no issues with that but I acknowledge that it could be funny.
- deleted 1y ago[deleted]
- meterogue 1y agoThe author's name is tenderlove. He has been a famous contributor to Ruby and Rails for at least 10 years. If this is objectionable to you, it shows your lack of expertise.
- mrexroad 1y agoJust a nit — your post would have been fine without that last sentence, no need to be prickly. I haven’t touched RoR in 15 years and was not familiar with the name.
- kotaKat 1y agoZScaler gets pissed off going to frame.work just because of a “malicious TLD”. I don’t even want to know what ZScaler thinks of “tender love making”.
- account42 1y agoSounds like a problem between you and ZScaler (and possibly whoever forces you to use that crap) but not something that anyone else should care about.
- macintux 1y agoIn the late 90s my then-wife was watching over my shoulder one day and saw the domain “freshmeat.net” pop up as a possible auto-completion in my address bar. She was justifiably suspicious until I showed her it was just a software distribution site.
- devnullbrain 1y agoInfohazard warning: C++ reference is one of these.
- layer8 1y agoAnd she wasn’t suspicious of amazon.com? ;)
- coldtea 1y agoAs if "tender lovemaking" is so shocking?
- cluckindan 1y agoObviously there must be bureaucracy and an RFP involved!
- sholladay 1y agoThere is a very popular professional audio website called Gearspace that had a much spicier name for a long, long time. https://gearspace.com/ https://gearspace.com/ https://www.reddit.com/r/audioengineering/comments/mftc0g/gearslutz_is_changing_its_name_to_gearspace/ https://www.reddit.com/r/audioengineering/comments/mftc0g/ge...
- JKCalhoun 1y agoHa ha, I remember that name.
- omnibrain 1y agoModwiggler changed name around the same time.
- pimlottc 1y agoFrom what to what?
- iosonofuturista 1y agoOriginal name: muffwiggler
- anal_reactor 1y agoI guess the reason why modern times feel so bland is because we all agree on the lowest common denominator, and then celebrate that as "iNcLuSiViTy". If anything you do has any personality, aka deviates from the standard workflow, it immediately gets a disadvantaged position on the free market. It's like, we collectively prioritize efficiency over fun and then we wonder why life is not fun even though it is efficient.
- jrajav 1y agoDumb frat-boy innuendos count as personality now, huh? Let's just leave aside the fact that the name genuinely made many people uncomfortable and unwelcome there (it did), it was also just teenage and immature. There's ways to inject personality and fun into a social experience without giggling about sex. Talk about lowest common denominator...
- sgopalan98 1y agoWhaaa, you don't like tender lovemaking?
- yard2010 1y agoThis reminds me of a flash games website from 2007. The domain was something like sogay.com. one time I had to spell it to my father. He asked if I'm sure before pressing enter lol
- United857 1y agoI’m old enough to remember arXiv being hosted by Los Alamos National Laboratory under the domain xxx.lanl.gov. It’s understandable why they changed their name.
- xyst 1y ago[flagged]
- ChrisRR 1y agoI feel like you're the kind of person who can't recognise a joke
- moritonal 1y agoThis person is a nice person, who's published a huge amount of positive work into the Ruby community. I do wish however they'd change their name from the perspective of a figurehead in the community, we have code referencing their repos and it's just awkward with interns to explain.
- lloeki 1y agoWhy would a person need to conform to some uniform grey norm to be able to contribute in any capacity? Ruby's community has been all sorts of whimsy and quirky over the years. I very much enjoy Tenderlove being the community figurehead he is as is: kind, empathetic, genuine, open-minded, and generally wholesome. > it's just awkward with interns to explain. I've never had any trouble talking about Aaron Patterson a.k.a Tenderlove to coworkers, interns or otherwise.
- therein 1y agoThere is also PenIsland.net. I think there was also a .com that featured a big shop but they seem to have moved.
