If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Congratulations!

In much of Rails, Strings and Symbols are interchangeable (due to HashWithIndifferentAccess), so no wonder we are all confused 😅

the former maintainers of Bundler and RubyGems have a proposal: we want to move Ruby forward andre.arko.net/2025/10/26/w...

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

When bypassing that code, we no longer see segfaults – even where we don’t have reforking enabled. So reforking was not causing the problem, it was just amplifying an existing problem.

As mentioned at RubyKaigi, there was a problem between the active_record_host_pool and datadog gems (ARHP mutating hash objects that datadog uses as keys in a hash).

I love this so much…

Small Ruby trick: Set up a `~/.default-gems` file in your home directory. These gems will be automatically installed when you install Ruby. Works out of the box with ASDF and Mise!

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

Yes, we are running Ruby 3.4.2. I did read the fork safety guide, and I will keep it (and you) updated if/when we determine which libraries are causing us trouble.

Thank you for another great article. We are currently looking into segfaults (on staging) after enabling reforking, so all of the article’s explanations and links to various tools and example PRs is going to be very helpful.

The gem minitest-speed “adds test hooks to verify the time it takes to run the setup, body, and teardown phases of each test. If the time of any phase goes over the maximum time, it fails the test.“ Sounds like what you’re looking for?

Just found out a good friend and mentor, Noah Gibbs, has passed away. Rest in peace friend, the Ruby community is poorer in your absence.
