It’s a small detail in this thread, but it’s utterly bonkers that we’ve elevated cars over *freedom of assembly*, a right literally in the Constitution. One of the ultimate symbols of car-brained America.
Of course @jnunemaker was right.
Conductor + Claude + Rails is fucking amazing.
I'm just casually working through 5-10 things simultaneously.
@zenspider unrelated https://github.com/minitest/minitest-focus/pull/20 plz kthxbai
@zenspider I had a reliable repro case, and put Claude work on minimizing it and finding the edges, summary in screenshot 1.
The actual workaround is trival (screenshot 2), it's just setting gssencmode: false in database.yml... which I was already doing in development but hadn't applied it to test env. 🤦♂️
Finally worked through the ruby segfaults I was seeing when with Rails parallel tests. Some macOS pg gem forking bs.
But now that it's fixed the test suite went from 150s -> 30s. Life changing for development.
They are saying citizens can't protest in the streets (1st amendment).
They are saying citizens can't carry a gun if they do protest (2nd amendment).
They are saying citizens and local businesses must feed and house federal agents occupying their city (3rd amendment)
They are saying they don't need a warrant to enter citizens' homes (4th amendment)
They are saying they can detain and deport anyone they want without a court hearing (5th amendment) (1/2)
@tonydewan.com he’s so good. Been a thing on TikTok for a while.
This perfectly captures the current state of mess with macOS menu icons.
Feels very much like someone is checking boxes of "all menu items have icons" instead of "the menu icons are useful."
@soulcutter somehow even worse is specific days, as in “it needs to be done on Monday.”
Monday is 23-25hrs in a time zone. Without a zone, it more than doubles.
It is Modnay in the earliest time zones at UTC+14:00. The latest time zones switch at UTC-12:00. It’s “just turning Monday” for 26 continuous hours.
Then we add 23-25hrs for it to stop being Monday in each of those zones, giving a grand total max day of 51 hours.
The average Monday is 50 hours long, and occasionally 49 or 51 hours.
@jnunemaker I think this where I’m headed too, but haven’t been able to make it stick.
Can we return to the time where taking a loud phone meeting at a cofffe shop was frowned upon?
Not one, but TWO of them happening simultaneously rn.
Yes, I want my tax dollars feeding every kid breakfast and lunch at school in my state.
And I don’t even have kids. But I understand how much this benefits them and all of us.

@soulcutter seems like a decent approach!
Wish they considered the lack of sound distinction in some languages, ex: Japanese R<->L. Seems addressable and worthy.
@jscalzi Indiana here and same brother. Actually it was like a couple weeks ago cuz my office is over a crawlspace.
In case this is of help to others, ran into a "unable to get certificate CRL" error with OpenSSL. Turns out this is suppose to be fixed in OpenSSL 3.3.1 (the gem -- what I'm currently using) but isn't. I'm also using the latest OpenSSL binary. Here's the version details:
OpenSSL 3.6.0 1 Oct 2025 (Library: OpenSSL 3.6.0 1 Oct 2025)
The only way I was able to fix this was to apply Ledermann's fix as mentioned in this issue: https://github.com/ruby/openssl/issues/949
@denis was really expecting this to be factory making games. 😂
@aaronmallen ooh, nice!
@aaronmallen what did you get?
"When someone works for less pay than she can live on — ... she goes hungry so that you can eat more cheaply and conveniently — then she has made a great sacrifice for you ... The 'working poor,' as they are approvingly termed, are in fact the major philanthropists of our society. They neglect their own children so that the children of others will be cared for. ... To be a member of the working poor is to be an anonymous donor, a nameless benefactor, to everyone else."
