I’m a new Ruby user. Been a dev for more than a decade and I picked it up for various things over the last year or two. These were not legacy projects, this was purely my curiosity to explore new tools. Have really enjoyed it!

Tangential question: is it common for frameworks to use the same name as a package from another framework? I had never heard of Django LiveView, but have used Phoenix’s Liveview and assumed that’s what it was. Not sure if I like that? I.e. does it imply some sort of endorsement or partnership? I do like that Laravel went with Livewire to distinguish it.

You know what they say about the Irish and spreadsheets…

Man that hits hard

I believe UFOs are mostly an op to intimidate foreign governments, i.e. US trying to say to China “hey we got some stuff you’ve never heard seen” so as to introduce uncertainty into their war games. They aren’t to demonstrate power; they are to introduce a mix of confusion and intimidation. I’m also not saying that all the reports are fake: i believe most of the witness and testimony are being honest. But just because you’re being honest doesn’t mean what you saw or were told are not the cogs of an intelligence operation.

That keyboard layout is a great analogy. Maybe I would have tried Helix in my early twenties, but I’m too old for that now (30s lol).

I have a huge disdain for artists who do not bleed and sweat like the rest of us doing jobs we don’t necessarily enjoy. Especially in this age of opulence. Welcome to life. Art should capture truth, the essence of things, and how can you do so without your feet planted firmly on the ground? Perhaps I could make exceptions for those on whom skill is truly refined in a dedicated way (think YoYo Ma practicing 10 hours a day), but I suspect your avg artist spends more time navel gazing than putting in the work. (And I say this as a huge supporter and fan of the arts)

Can you expand on this? Was your site pretty static or did it have a lot of interactivity? What were the best things you observed in Astro vs Laravel?

TIL grug needs a trademark

This is great! Hat tip to PHP. I first came across pipes in Elixir and have ever since missed it in every other language. Two observations:

- pipes make you realize how much song and dance you do for something quite simple. Nesting, interstitial variables, etc all obscuring what is in effect and very orderly set of operations.

- pipes really do have to be a first class operator of the language. I’ve tried using some pipe-like syntactic sugar in languages without pipes and while it does the job, a lot of elegance and simplicity is lost. It feels like you are using a roundabout thing and thus, in the end, doesn’t really achieve the same level of simplicity. Things can get very deranged if you are using a language in a way it wasn’t designed for and even though I love pipes I’ve seen “fake pipes” make things more complicated in languages without them.

Bach and Part are the two composers who make music not just of man but of the glory of God Himself. IYKYK.

His in ring performance will always give me goosebumps, every time. I’ve seen him start puffing his cheeks, shaking his head, no-selling punches, and finger pointing a million and every…single…time it gets me excited and pumped. And all for a silly leg drop at the end. Goes to show that the story can communicate so much more than the moves.

What a an amazing talent and performer.

God bless you Ozzy. Thank you for everything.

Had never heard this take. What a great write up. Thank you!
