@hsbt No problems at all. It's a nice surprise for me. That's respectful work. Thank you so much!

I am pretty happy to see my patch for RubyGems (edited: Actually, it's Bundler!) from 4.5 years ago got merged: https://github.com/ruby/rubygems/pull/4892

Thanks @hsbt for taking care of that.

Respect Gemfile bundler setting in `Bundler.setup` by godfat · Pull Request #4892 · ruby/rubygems

When we run bundle exec it'll look at Bundler.settings[:gemfile] and respect the Gemfile setting. However, when we just require bundler/setup or run Bundle.setup, it'll not look through tha...

Oh! I only realized now that my patch for rspec-mocks was merged 5 years ago: https://github.com/rspec/rspec-mocks/pull/1218

It's still in 4.0 beta though, no stable release yet 😬 https://github.com/rspec/rspec/blob/v4.0.0.beta1/rspec-mocks/Changelog.md#400beta1--2026-02-18

I understand it's considered a breaking change because it's fixing a "bug" that does change the behavior.

I am still pretty proud that most of the bugs I found in rspec mocks could not be reproduced in muack: https://github.com/godfat/muack

It's also pretty small, too! However it's fully feature complete.

Fix stubbing prepended only methods by godfat · Pull Request #1218 · rspec/rspec-mocks

Previously, we're assuming the method must be defined in the singleton class. However this is not always true. Whenever the method was only defined in the prepended module, then it's not de...

@draconacht Yeah links are fake so it's not real. That makes sense.

As for trust, I think that's too heavy to put it. Always be skeptical. However I still believe we should encourage people to be honest. It's not black and white after all. You can call that being good or convincing, too. Just don't make it look like having obvious lies are ok even when it's common.

@hiroshiyui 沒問題。主要是有些操作我只能用電腦用，例如產生密碼。我的產生器也不會產生符號，所以密碼格式不符我常常只能亂加符號，然後都會忘記最後常常只能仰賴忘記密碼 😅 iPad 也不能收信

Maybe I should move to a Mastodon instance where I can post more than 500 characters. This limit annoys me to no end for English.

Chinese on the other hand, 500 characters can possibly contain 10x more information within the same limit... much less of an issue to be honest. This speaks that "characters" limit is quite arbitrary 🤷 Systems like this usually use "bytes" limit which in some way makes better sense after all. A Han character is 3 bytes in UTF-8, which is more "balanced".

> The Post Office denied the subpostmasters' reports of faults in the system, insisted that the subpostmasters make up any shortfall of money, and in many cases untruthfully denied that any other subpostmasters had reported problems.

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@rradczewski/116212327811508257

I didn't read through everything because it's quite long, and this is certainly quite mind blowing, yet it reads to me more like a human problem than software problem to be honest.

Reports were ignored, and people who actually used the software weren't trusted.
