Y’all means all
I went to a hot-pot resturant with a really long table, they had huge portable dividers they put between us and the next people, that was nice.

I’ve used www.printful.com in the past. But quality varies. I’m wearing a ~10 year old “schneems“ shirt from them right now, but my 2 year old “how to open source” shirt is falling apart.

Stickers I used someone else. Don’t remember who though. Maybe sticker giant?

I’ve resisted async this far. From the outside in it seems that cancel-ability is a fragile property and one that is niche. I’m also operating in an environment where allocations are fine.

Do you think there could ever be some kind of a reduced scope easy async?

What do you think of zig’s plans?

The most valuable part of docs is the example. The worst part of an example is if it is wrong.

A doc test solves both these problems.

I want a default gem that all libraries can use. A standard for shipping examples with docs that are guaranteed to work

I would like to see a rustdoc equivalent ship with ruby. And/or be able to link between existing tests and docs easily (think “expand src” but ”show usage in tests”

Coming from a place of: is Heroku doing enough? What about stripe? Right now it’s all up to interpretation and whims of managers and execs.

I riffed on that post a bit www.reddit.com/r/ruby/comme...

I feel like defining a “good enough” and a “stretch goal” might help companies realize they’re not doing nearly enough. Even if it’s true the ones at the top could be doing more. I feel aligning on expectations is helpful.

So glad you found it. This is what I wanted to show you with the monitor but it wouldn’t reach.

We supplemented school with “learn to read” exercises at home. It was difficult. Also important to us as we go to a mandarin immersion school so they get less english than a regular school. I think we started around Pk4.

For very young ages, things like math and reading are out of reach except via abstract concepts. Things like hand eye coordination “teaching” looks indistinguishable from coloring play.

Age dependent. I’ve seen some very complacent privileged parents in elementary and middle school “someone has to home last” levels of “school is a thing to endure and doesn’t really matter” which I strongly disagree with.

Been meaning to mention: RailsWorld is in Austin next year…

Yeah.

Also sorry to miss you in amsterdam. I haven’t seen you since you cut your hair.

I feel like CBP and ICE policies and actions that may directly affect you are **literal** political reasons.

Pedantry aside, that sucks.
