It works so well for Rails apps with automatic reloading

Me, to Apple: "I would just like a phone that can fit comfortably in a pocket again."

Apple: "I hear you loud and clear."

The thing where everyone went to an algorithmic timeline with no chronological option was a fucking disaster and IMO a huge contributor to how we got where we are today.

I'd been running the Testflight, but seeing this made me check if it was finally on the App Store in the US -- so thanks!

How can I use the foldername instead the folderid for foldernames in synctrain-folder. ยท pixelspark sushitrain ยท Discussion #41 Hi at MรถbiusSync I found my folders at Mรถbius Sync/. At Synctrain it's synctrain/. Unfortunately the ids are very difficult to remember if I want to select the folder from another app. A workaround...

If you use MobiusSync on iOS, SyncTrain is an immediate improvement. A Shortcut+Automation to sync when you leave/join home wifi works great on top of its improved bg syncing.

One hassle around folder naming, and syncing large photo collections doesn't work (but MS can't touch at all).

A three panel Simpsons "Bart's dead" meme. Lisa rushes Bart's body into the room in a wagon, but his head has been replaced by the Bluesky logo. Lisa is yelling, "Mom! Dad! Bluesky's dead!" 

In the second panel, Homer and Marge gasp. In the third, Bart with the head of Bluesky sits up and shouts, "That's right! Dead serious about using alt text!"

Back when you could throw random algorithm problems in and call them minigames ๐Ÿ˜€

I loved Final Fantasy Adventure, the first really epic-feeling game I can remember on it.

Removed the Discover tab from my bsky completely, and for when I'm craving something different from my own follow feed, using the "Popular with Friends" feed instead of Discover.

Not having an infinitly refreshable feed of new posts is almost certainly better for my brain overall.

I love them, but only use them for very short actually-only-one-line methods. I treat them like a new type of definition, so my class organization would be:

1.ย attr_*
2.ย initialize
3.ย endless methods
4.ย normal methods
5.ย private endless methods
6.ย private normal methods

Beyond his own contributions, Noah was the best at making people feel welcomed into contributing to the Ruby community. When you felt like you were just talking into the void, he would be your first reply, the person in the audience nodding, the first to laugh at your jokes. He'll be deeply missed.

Noah's wife has asked me to collect stories about Noah for the benefit of his children. They couldn't see how deep and complex and layered his life was, and she would like them to be able to understand that some day.

He thought Ruby was the best way to do (fill in the blank) and he wanted to share his knowledge as widely as possible. His kindness and generosity extended into every corner of his life.

Noah's passing was sudden and very fast. He did not suffer. He is survived by his wife and children.

Noah Gibbs (codefolio, YJIT team, Rebuilding Rails author) has passed away.

His big dream in life was to help build the Ruby community up. He wanted to be like the folks who worked to create the railroads during the industrial revolution.

One of my favorite ways to start sketching out ideas in a new Rails app is to simply create an 'app/views/application/index.html.erb' file and then point the root route at application#index.

From there I can mess around with whatever initial coding experiments I want in a single file.

I have witnessed "t" on GitHub respond so fast that I could just keep typing and it would search. Those days are over, even though my computer is 10x more powerful than it was before.
Is this "learned helplessness"? And who is experiencing it here - me or other devs lol
