As with AI, Linters like Rubocop should play a servant, not master, role, subject to critical supervision. After a substantial session modifying code to conform to a lint rule, I pushed back and realized the rule was a net negative for the code base.

Huh, so that's why text is called a string

Well said ..

Pete Hegseth is coming after what I earned through my twenty-five years of military service, in violation of my rights as an American, as a retired veteran, and as a United States Senator whose job is to hold him—and this or any administration—accountable. His unconstitutional crusade against me sends a chilling message to every retired member of the military: if you speak out and say something that the President or Secretary of Defense doesn’t like, you will be censured, threatened with demotion, or even prosecuted. Every servicemember knows military rank is earned, not given. It's earned through the risks you take, the sacrifices you and your family make, the leadership you display, and the respect you earn from the superiors who recommend you for promotion. From the moment I drove through the gates of Naval Air Station Pensacola, to when I was shot at over Iraq and Kuwait, to when I landed Space Shuttle Endeavour on its last mission, I gave everything I had to this country and I earned my rank of Captain, United States Navy. Now, Pete Hegseth wants our longest-serving military veterans to live with the constant threat that they could be deprived of their rank and pay years or even decades after they leave the military just because he or another Secretary of Defense doesn’t like what they’ve said. That’s not the way things work in the United States of America, and I won’t stand for it. In 1986, at just 22 years old, I took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution. I have fulfilled that oath every day since, but I never expected that I would have to defend it against a Secretary of Defense or President. But I’ve never shied away from a fight for our country, and I won’t shy away from this one. Because our freedom of speech, the separation of powers, and due process are not just words on a page, they are bedrock principles of our democracy that has lasted 250 years and will last 250 more as long as patriotic Americans are willing to stand up for our rights. So today, I filed a lawsuit against the Secretary of Defense because there are few things as important as standing up for the rights of the very Americans who fought to defend our freedoms.

Posting this and waiting for the comments. This should be good.

Eloquently said.

If you live in Wisconsin – or have friends or family who do – there’s an important Supreme Court race happening right now. And there’s only one candidate ready to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of Wisconsinites: Judge Susan Crawford. We’ve all seen how important judges are in protecting our rights, so vote early — don’t wait until April 1st. Find your early vote location: wisdems.org/vote

TIL that Ruby 3.x eliminated =begin and =end multiline comments. 📷 I have not looked into it deeply, but this seems really unfortunate to me.

TIL you can separate the downloading of the Mac OS update from the installing by using `softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer` on the command line to download it without installing it. It puts an installation application in /Applications.

Help wanted! CRuby moved this Ruby stdlib function into a native core function, so it could be used without stdlib and perform better. JRuby needs to do the same! Great way to start contributing! Create native Time#iso8601 · Issue #8476 · jruby/jruby github.com/jruby/jruby/issue…
