Let me ask you something: is there a good source on how to debug in Ruby? I keep running into issues when I dive into it outside of Rails. For example, yesterday I ran into an issue with bundler where a gem was failing to install and needed

Profit for those who can afford to protect themselves at the expense of others. At that point money is largely used for political power.

There are forces which actively seek to prohibit government from functioning. The 5th Circuit Court is notorious for this, but is far and away not the only one.

I used to think this, but now am not as sure. The experience that Portugal and the Pacific Northwest have had has caused me to question this. I legitimately don’t know.

I feel the same about Tesla. They make good cars that are helping to get us off of oil. They have thousand of employees. And who among us has a CEO that isn’t problematic, even if not so much so as Musk?

Maybe post your password to Twitter or something. Let it escape into the wild, where it can be observed in its natural state.

Same realization. I started playing around with Rails/Hotwire and found that to be much more productive and far simpler. Haven’t used it for anything “real” yet, but I am enjoying it so far.

Sometimes, sure. Sometimes not, though. I have a PWA for studying kanji that very much benefits from the increased real estate and more focused feel. I like having that choice.

Can you name a Republican who has positively stated their support for women’s access to contraception? People have pointed out numerous examples of conservative groups acting against contraception, and you have dismissed them all. You seem

Politically this is the more palatable choice, as well. Conservatives love the idea of limiting access to contraception and abortion, and abhor the idea of giving people who aren’t corporations any kind of financial benefits.

tl;dr: Money. People with moderate incomes can barely afford to house and feed themselves, even with a partner. Introduce a dependent child into the mix and the subsequent ~30% increase in fixed expenses and it is easy to see why fewer and

Why not? They are —- rightfully —- pro-LGBT+. Apple: “It’s ok to be gay, just not horny.” How is that not a dichotomy, and (possibly) hypocritical? We as a culture have a weird relationship with horny, and it’s mostly a negative one. Sexual

I mean I’m sure that’s what the processors want people to believe. But even if those problems are difficult, they aren’t insurmountable: I’m sure that libraries would be developed over time that would allow for these things to happen, secur

Enshitification of all the things, thanks to growth-driven product decisions. There are self-destructive aspects of capitalism that are endemic to it.

Understood, but it also get clicks, especially for a company as loathed as Tesla.

Ok? Even if that were true — and I’m not entirely sure how you would even prove that — SQL still lacks type safety, testability, and composability.

20 years ago SQL lacked type safety, testability, and composability. Today the same is true. I doubt it will be different 2 decades from now. SQL is powerful. It is also very old and has very large warts.
