HTMX is still alive and well; version 4.0 was just released.

I know what tariff means, I just think many people don't realize it means "taxing US citizens" and not "sticking it to some country we don't like"

You act as if it's the countries that are doing the trading; it's not. It is the businesses and other entities within the countries that are doing it. They are doing it because it benefits them. If a company is doing overseas manufacturing it is because they benefit and it isn't the United States that made that decision.

I helped run a website selling tickets for a venue that had a Garth Brooks concert. I can confirm that they did the same thing in the 2010's.

This is my understanding:

1. Ruby Central hosts, maintains, and sponsors Rubygems and Bundler

2. Based on recent events, it was possible that credentials were stolen (https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/60-malicious-...)

3. They decided to lock everyone out until security issues could be resolved

It makes sense to me from a security standpoint, but their communication has been terrible which has led to a lot of speculation.

I've made it a point to always ask beforehand: "what is the dress code expectation? I've seen everything from t-shirts to suits in the tech industry and I'd like show up dressed appropriately."

I always get a positive response.

Same. When the game started I was looking for a black circle to use against the "bubbles"; none showed up, and suddenly I had lost.

This looks interesting. I think I'll try it out over the weekend. Thanks for sharing.
