The west did not "forget", it merely decided to participate in the "commoditization of everything" which has the exact outcomes we expect and easily observe today: skilled labor becomes unskilled labor in service to the

I went with the simplest possible design for mine: fixed gear, v breaks sealed bearing wheels. Was basically zero maintenance as I only ever used the brakes for emergencies and used foot power for planned stopping etc. had gater tires, work

The 16" tires killed all the joy I normally get from riding a bike tbh. I tried better seats, shock absorber posts, different gear ratios, everything. Just sucked the joy out of the ride for me. Hiding "throw away" bikes arou

That said I love my fixed gear beater and I would take that thing over the fanciest folder in existence.

As someone who rode a folding bike for several years as their primary mode of transportation, I personally found no joy in it. It was simply the only option for being allowed on the commuter rail into the city during "rush" hours.

Right now the cost of c interop in ruby is too high. It's actually more perfomant in the general case to rewrite any c lib wrappers in pure ruby these days and let jit do the work

I do use class_eval quite a bit but I could pivot to precomputed script generators for those use cases going forward

It says it isn't supported right in the readme. Just isn't clear on the "why" yet. Not getting to it yet is my hope. I maintain 14+ highly threaded ruby services atm, for context.

Requiring static type annotations is likely a dealbreaker for many. I wish Matz had gone the route of python3 and allowed _optional_ inline type annotations instead of the mess that is RBS.

I'd agree that lack of eval is "for the best", but lacking threads and mutexes isn't. Lack of define_method makes a lot of sense as well given the use case. However, send/method_missing is in common use in preexisti

Curious why "no threads" when the ruby scheduler and underlying pthread implementation should work fine in C land. I guess to be "zero dependency"? Seems an odd trade-off to me, unless optional "extensions" are

This is a very impressive release. At 17h to 20hr battery life on Linux, I'll finally be a able to solve my MacBook addiction. With my M2 MacBook running Asahi Linux or my work M3 MacBook running MacOS I easily get 10+hrs on battery. I

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll add it to the shortlist!

There's a book I read a while back named "Longitude" that maps the storied quest in science to improve upon dead reckoning by devising greater and greater accuracy in time pieces used on ships. Iirc it was a fun read if anyon

Very cool! I meant more hands on diy fab, like how I make my own pcbs. It seems farming out my designs to be produced (hdl->chip) at reasonable one-off costs is a plausible avenue now, which is exciting as well. I've probably been e

Users shouldn't be picking models directly at all, unless they really want to (almost no one does), but certainly some will. I meant more automatic selection and negotiation of which model gets which task based on filtering criteria, e

Many companies and governments have a vested interest in the web continuing to exist as an open platform and not just a corporate playground controlled by 3 corporations. Without Firefox or something like it, the web becomes a defacto stand

Says it's for preorder, so my guess is that's a recommendation without having one? Or are you working on this project?

This question seems a bit of a non sequitur. I worked along side my father in the trades for over a decade (to pay for college, my house, etc) as I've already stated in my parent post. Unless you're asking about something else?

I love having a relationship with the lowest levels of our craft. Access to an electron microscope and decapping chips to make my own reimplementions (in software) is next on my bucket list. If chip lithograph wasn't so prohibitively e

If by "people" I mean everyone and not just direct users of their products. Something more akin to the Linux or Apache Foundations, including both private sector donations and government grants etc. A DIVERSE set of funding source

The Linux Foundation has many, diverse corporate donors, and Linux enables software like ChromeOS, yes. These are all true, but doesn't change the argument that it's a bad call to take the vast majority of your income from a singl

Monetary contributions via government grants have happened in the past. Iirc that's how VLC got their start.

There's a strong desire to keep the web an open platform, if the alternative to WebKit isn't going to be Firefox, it'll simply have to be something else. I'd gladly contribute to the cause, beit ladybird or something els
