on a laptop & android tablet, although there is no guarantee we will be able to run #emacs on #android this time next year

i don't sync the feeds, laptop is more focused on #rubylang #julialang & the more techy aspects of #emacs

the android feed is more general science/emacs news/ sports / slashdot

the laptop is used in the evening @ home while the tablet, which doubles as a phone & runs my #orgmode #agenda goes with me during the day.

"Ruby と共に" reads "Ruby to tomo ni", together with Ruby.

In red up the gutter of "The Red Sun Rises", @john boiled the chapter down to two words:

> Chunky bacon!
> — jhawthorn

#Ruby committer, #Rails core team, Ruby Architecture team at #GitHub. Wrote #Vernier, the profiler a lot of us reach for when Rails gets slow. Makes Ruby faster for a living. His note here is 🥓 "Chunky bacon!".

 fox nods because that's the right answer.

An ⬅️ arrow points at the printed "Global variables" heading and @chrishasinski says the quiet part out loud:

> USEFUL FOR AI MODELS
> — CHRIS

A book from 2005 about Ruby globals, annotated in modern #AI times.
 fox makes a note and keeps walking.

After the printed "Plenty of 🥓 chunky bacon to go around", @a_matsuda signed off:

> Chunky Bacon!!
> @a_matsuda

Akira Matsuda, #Ruby + #Rails committer, author of #kaminari, founder of #asakusaRb, chief organizer of @rubykaigi, 2024 #RailsLuminary. Sixteen years of commits.

 fox bows respectfully.

Right under the comic where the printed  fox shouts "Woohoo! 🥓 Chunky bacon accomplished!", @nateberkopec wrote:

Nate makes a living making @rails apps faster. He read this book and stayed.

At the top of "Floating Little Leaves of Code", where two  foxes peek over the chapter, @rosa left something warm in pink:

> Keep making conferences nicer!
> ♥️ Rosa

The chapter promises the cosiness of the code will become a down sleeping bag for your own solace. Rosa just described the same thing, only she meant people. A  fox curls up either way.
