It's crap like this that makes me not want to ever get anything at @starbucks. I can't afford a bunch of ads in my notifications.
Managed to get back to Kikanbo for my double-oni ramen of the trip (demon level spice, demon level szechuan). Evil stuff. Earned my special Oni candy as a result. Definitely one of my top five restaurants in the world.
The artwork for #RubyConfAT is amazing! I'm SO excited to visit Vienna for the first time!
Lunch bags at #wroclove.rb day 2... `w` as wege (veg) vs M as in meat. 😂
SHOCKER! For a simple piece of code like "Array.new(10_000_000) {Object.new}", JRuby 10.1 with JDK 26 and compact object headers uses LESS REAL MEMORY than CRuby 4.0. That's just crazy. Real parallel scaling AND lower memory use?!
Note to self: don't ask AI (ChatGPT) to generate realistic flight maps. How many errors can you spot? I'll get you started: MSP is not in Georgia.
At what point do I just start ignoring dependabot, and then I'm right back where I started?
This is why AI will never defeat me.
Excellent talk by Daniel Colson about the Ruby regex engine ("Onigmo" in CRuby, "JOni" in JRuby) with a deep dive on how it parses, compiles, and executes an expression. These kinds of talks are my jam! Loving @RBCConf so far!
Inspired by DragonRuby and a quick chat with @amirrajan at RBQConf in Austin, I threw together a five-minute JRuby + Simple Directmedia Layer example using LWJGL! I'm actually shocked how easily this worked. JRuby is really amazing! 🤩
