today i learned, bafflingly, that many steven universe fans think that pink diamond is the main villain of the show

google might be controlling the entire web through highly illegal means, partnering with both facebook and microsoft to weaken user privacy and control, but at least they didn't introduce proprietary unserviceable hardware

like get fuckin ready but also hm

pulling some really next‐level web design but i don’t actually have any of the copy for it yet

not sure “grateful” is the word i would use to describe my feelings towards settler‐colonialism

« Testing support was woven into the Rails fabric from the beginning. It wasn't an "oh! let's bolt on support for running tests because they're new and cool" epiphany. » that’s because you never know what anything will do in Rails until you test it

shoutout to bea for listening to all my annoyed programming rants

@Satsuma very common in open source programming, and also terrible

nobody using Ruby/Rails for YAML processing necessarily understands (even from looking up Psych!) that they are effectively using an experimental processor (for example, its support of YAML 1.2 is piecemeal and incomplete), which defeats the whole point of semantic versioning

@Satsuma Psych, the YAML parser and emitter in Ruby, used for extremely important functionality in Ruby/Rails, is currently version 4.0.2.

Psych is essentially a wrapper for LibYAML.

The current release of LibYAML 0.2.5. The fact that the major version number of LibYAML is “0” implies that it is not a stable API or ready for production use.

hey ass hole, don’t release your library as version 3.0.0 when it has core functionality dependent on a version 0.2.5; that’s not stable

the answer is (a) no, and (b) i have now seen so many incorrect BCP‐47 tags

me: i wonder if programmers, noted for coming up with arbitrary bullshit standards and then adopting them for no reason other than that the person who wrote it is popular on twitter, have come up with a standardized way of encoding Pirate English

me, fifteen minutes later:

hi rails guides, this isn’t how this fucking works, thank you
