Speaking of the #Heroku Roadmap, it would be fantastic if we could get the pg_repack #postgresql extension added! Show your support! https://github.com/heroku/roadmap/issues/123

A neat idea for preventing #ActiveRecord DB access within the scope of a block, from another of my too smart coworkers. https://discuss.rubyonrails.org/t/proposal-prevent-activerecord-access/85322

I've read a lot online about how "Y2K was overblown". As an engineer who worked like crazy in 1999 to correct our systems this drives me crazy.

Today I read about games going offline, watches getting frozen and airline tickets showing the wrong date.

Because of a leap year. Which happens every FOUR years (give or take).

Yeah Y2K was a one time thing. (Well at least until year 10000)

Isn't 2038 going to be fun.

INSTALLATION

Installation is super easy. Open your MacOS terminal, and...

INSTALLATION for LINUX

OK first of all fuck you for wanting to install a UNIX command-line tool on a modern UNIX instead of a bastardized BSD from 1990 as Jobs intended. Secondly, please use curl to install a third-party package manager...

“You all have done an amazing job ushering in a new era of success for this company. So amazing, in fact, that we have no choice but to let you all go.”

The satire is indistinguishable from the current reality.

This is more affordable that installing wires to hang up two 75" monitors in my living room.

It seems we finally have a Standard™️ for #WebHooks. https://github.com/standard-webhooks/standard-webhooks/blob/main/spec/standard-webhooks.md

When GitHub jumped the shark…

When you hit t on GitHub, it lets you search files inside the repo. It used to be that immediately after hitting t, the search box got focus so you could immediately type. Now you have to click in to the search box before you can type. I never noticed how much I cared about that feature until it stopped working 😆

Finally thought of a name for the cool Mocktail API that overrides YourClass​​​​․new exactly once so that the test can instantiate its own dependencies instead of having to pass them in:

thing = Mocktail.of_next(Thing)  
subject = ThingHaver․new  

And receive the mock in its initializer:

class ThingHaver  
 def initialize  
 @thing@mastodon.social = Thing․new  
 end  
end  

It's not Dependency Injection, it's :sparkles: ✨ Dependency Inception ✨

Our house is just big enough and our offices are just at the opposite ends of said house enough that I really wish I had a Yo app or button to get Becky's attention without yelling or initiating a phone call.

Aside from rspec-mocks, what mocking libraries do you actually use in Ruby these days?

searls, 9 months ago to random

I am taking the confusing Mocktail readme (which is only going to get more confusing when I add Sorbet) and broke it out into a choose your own adventure tree of smaller markdown files.

This way I can steer readers away from bad uses and towards good ones without risking people just hitting command-F to find the APIs they probably shouldn’t use

Sure is humid today 💦

I love that I can see exactly when I turned the fan on in my office, but idk how this data is useful other than for me going "WOW THAT IS NEAT!" 😆

We have done a bunch of work to integrate our #GitHub formatted CODEOWNERS into our #Bugsnag, #Sidekiq, #Rails, PagerDuty, logging, #OpenTelemetry Tracing, etc… to the point that I think the bulk of it could be gemified, with extension Gems handing specific tooling integration. But then, that means the OSS maintainer gauntlet, and I’m just not sure I have the energy nor bandwidth for that slog right now. If only I could talk @searls into doing this for me. 😂

If you don't like Standard Ruby, it's great to see there are other code formatters out there you might enjoy https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=raidteyar.raidteyar-shittier

Now that I'm staring at a 32" 6K monitor, my strategy of just cranking up the font size in a single full-screen window is no longer viable for writing prose.

Does anyone have a (Markdown-friendly) writing app they like that has a full-screen focus mode that can present the current sentence bolded in the center of the screen in a hilariously large font?

Laura had her purse stolen in Barcelona at one of those outdoor restaurants with smokers.

Luckily, the thieves threw out everything they didn’t need - which was most of it.

They took the visa/mastercards and cash.

Surprisingly, they left the Apple Card (maybe it looks like a toy?) and the American Express (which I imagine is borderline useless in Spain)
