My bad, that was the one I saw online. Unfortunately I couldn’t attend live.

Thanks @julianpinzon.com for you Ruby Australia talk on Oaken early this year. Seeing your passion for it got me interested. It seems like an eloquent solution to what we were working with for seeding multiple environments with at Weploy back in the day.

It was worth waking up early to join @kaspth.com's walkthrough/overview of Oaken. I'll be spending sometime this week checking out if it's the right choice for my current team. Seems like a good fit though.

The collaboration I never knew I needed, if only just for this image.

The (sandwich) exception that proves the rule, possibly?

Good point, but then maybe we have moved into burger territory where the rules are a little different? i.e. “rice burger” commonly indicates buns made of rice, rather than the patty. To maintain sandwich etiquette should we be saying “Oh man, I’m a [thing] burger” instead?

Nice!

Like Tina becoming Terra. Tina maybe an exotic name in Japan, but doesn’t have the same mystique in the West.
Another idea is that replacement may date your work; Sushi as concept is more approachable in 2025 than it was in 1995.

Could you elaborate? Keen to know more about what’s on the grill.

If I wake up in the middle of the night and have a “good idea”, I literally cannot sleep again until I write it down.
I just need to know it’s safe, even if it’s gibberish, then I can relax.
The trauma of reading ‘Getting Things Done’

Cool, now how would we expand that to a paginated list?

I've been using Git since it was invented and "yours" and "theirs" might as well be "hnunch" and "grwinf" for all they make sense to me as names for "the branch I'm rebasing main" and "the I'm rebasing *onto*". I have to look at the contents every. single. time. to figure out which one means which.

Don’t step on the birds. Nice

The best kind

The title screen for Asterix on the the Sega Master System. Asterix and Oblex have burst forth from the drab olive background; Oblex bouncing on his butt as Asterix stands proud with tiny Dogmatix running back and forth between them. A parade of monotone Roman soldiers march right to left in the background.

The title screen for Jurassic Park on the Sega Master System. The book's logo, a black skeletal T-Rex on a bright yellow circle, is shown over a lush green jungle.

The title screen for Land of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse on the Sega Master System. A red book with he game's title and an image of a castle floating on a sea of clouds, is shown on a pile of note books.

The title screen for Wonder Boy III on the Sega Master System. The game's title is shown in a dark blue sky. There is a yellow castle with green roofs shown on the silhouette of a craggy mountain.

These here are four absolute bangers for the Sega Master. I could not imagine my childhood without experiencing these.

Bright, colourful, and fun platformers. Each has it's own little twist to keep you coming back for more.

Oh yeah. Sorry I forgot my privilege. But who knows; Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

I mean you could still stream from Japan. And property prices aren’t even that bad outside of Tokyo.

Notes on code, text, and war. Week 1: Believing in text Writing texts is the most useful and fruitful metaphor for software development. Intro to a series of posts on theoretical and practical implications of it. And something about war.

I am trying to write again for my software development blog.
I intend to write a series of semi-practical notes on code-as-text perception, the topic I have been thinking about for years now.
Less Ruby-centric, and probably more honest and humane. We'll see.

Yes.

If only I was born Hawaiian(Canadian?), then I could be proud of this pizza.

“Proud to be an American”, but specifically geared towards food.

Is there an American dish that fills you with patriotic pride? To the Japanese, it’s rice balls.

If you live/work in Japan the Government website with translations of the law in (hopefully) your mother tongue is pretty nice reference when you need it.

Do read the disclaimer, but it is a decent starting point to knowing you rights.

Goomba are brown because of coffee.

I know what you mean. The latest project I am working on is using import maps. It feels real nice to be rid of a JS build step.

puma-dev is pretty good for this if you are already using puma as your server.
