"Every renderer that works contains an even number of sign mistakes"
mccRubyCentral do seem to have, in their coup, successfully claimed the "instutitions" of Ruby in the sense of domain names and github repos. But the community, and (a lot?) (most of?) the authors of the source in those github repos do not seem to be on board:

So this seems like a really key test case, whether open source is made of living communities or just an opaque content pipeline for corporate actors to plug their build systems into
Bundler belongs to the Ruby community
I’ve spent 15 years of my life working on Bundler. When I introduce myself, people say “oh, the Bundler guy?”, and I am forced to agree. I didn’t come up with the original idea for Bundler (that was Yehuda). I also didn’t work on the first six months worth of prototypes. That was all Carl and Yehuda together, back when “Carlhuda” was a super-prolific author of Ruby libraries, including most of the work to modularize Rails for version 3.
A running thing about Rust for me is that I get frustrated because I have about three times as much error handling code as I do in any other programming language but it's hard to complain because the fact of the matter is my Rust programs correctly handle errors at least three times as often as my non-Rust programs

JonathanI can't get over this sentence no matter how often I read it.
"Women showed no effects when told they were masculine; however, men given feedback suggesting they were feminine expressed more support for war, homophobic attitudes, and interest in purchasing an SUV."
Becky SwegerStill perusing the IRS Direct File repo, especially the technical decision artifacts. It’s a rare glimpse into how teams consider tradeoffs when building government software

Watching https://webassembly.github.io/spec/core/text/instructions.html#folded-instructions load in and realizing with fridge horror that somebody made a web page by just writing TeX into a .html file and then onLoad running a JavaScript that re-interprets the tex into HTML
Me: It's confusing to talk about programming sometimes because that "type" is a vocabulary word with special meaning but it's also a general word in English. I know, if I ever need to express a general category of things, I'll use the unambiguous word "kind".
