In Super Mario Bros., the first vertical lift platform in World 6-3 does not have a fixed range like it may seem at first. Instead, it slowly keeps increasing its range, so that keeping Mario on the platform will eventually result in his death.

I'm in love with this @fangamer.com Celeste desk mat.

Welcome!

<minirant>Go has to be one of the most frustrating languages, especially coming from Ruby and it's "developer happiness".

func Copy[M1 ~map[K]V, M2 ~map[K]V, K comparable, V any](dst M1, src M2)

WHY? 😭

(Hint: dst, src is the order they choose)

Tiny JITs for a Faster FFI Can we have a faster FFI for CRuby? Yes.

I wrote a blog post about how we can make FFI faster in CRuby railsatscale.com/2025-02-12-t...

Also the performance difference is negligible when only calling it once in a while.

This is awesome. Part of the reason we use ffi is because we target different architectures, and so we don't need to recompile a c extension shim for each one. Also, the binding is delayed, so on arches that are unsupported, we can load the ffi code and just not call it.

This is really cool. I love the labeling concept on BlueSky and would love my favorite game devs to get labeled. Check out @ozone.birb.house to see the labels and/or get labeled.

Bar charts of employee tenure, salary, and age from the DOGE website. The y axis is unlabeled, and horizontal lines providing some sense of scale are unevenly spaced

not sure what's worse about the DOGE site: unsecured databases, leaking of classified information, or these chart crimes

It's always proportional to the size of the project and the relative usage of the project. Small, frequently used, libraries are much more likely to be bug free.

I think we all really just want JavaScript to die 😅

I wrote down my personal thoughts on whether it's worth removing Ruby's GVL and what it would take.

I wanted to talk about Ractors too, but this is already too long, so that's for another time.

I broke 1 million this weekend and I couldn't believe it. Baseball Card for the win.

So sad to hear this news. I always enjoyed his posts on Ruby.

Ruby 3.4.0 and 3.4.1 (that change is only version number) has been released.

And I also released new version of ruby-build

One recommendation I have is when overriding inspect, be sure to support pretty print at the same time, otherwise if someone pretty prints your object, it's just a single line and doesn't play nice. See the source for pretty_print_inspect and PP.singleline_pp, which can help support that.

I could have sworn there was a way to control which variables print but it seems that's only for pretty print. Would love regular inspect to have a similar overridable method.
