As a society, how have we not fixed the Tornado Watch/Warning debacle yet?

(He says like we fix any of the longstanding issues. 🤦‍♂️)

It’s a small detail in this thread, but it’s utterly bonkers that we’ve elevated cars over *freedom of assembly*, a right literally in the Constitution. One of the ultimate symbols of car-brained America.

Of course @jnunemaker was right.

Conductor + Claude + Rails is fucking amazing.

I'm just casually working through 5-10 things simultaneously.

Finally worked through the ruby segfaults I was seeing when with Rails parallel tests. Some macOS pg gem forking bs.

But now that it's fixed the test suite went from 150s -> 30s. Life changing for development.

They are saying citizens can't protest in the streets (1st amendment).  
They are saying citizens can't carry a gun if they do protest (2nd amendment).
They are saying citizens and local businesses must feed and house federal agents occupying their city (3rd amendment)
They are saying they don't need a warrant to enter citizens' homes (4th amendment)
They are saying they can detain and deport anyone they want without a court hearing (5th amendment) (1/2)

This perfectly captures the current state of mess with macOS menu icons.

Feels very much like someone is checking boxes of "all menu items have icons" instead of "the menu icons are useful."

Can we return to the time where taking a loud phone meeting at a cofffe shop was frowned upon?

Not one, but TWO of them happening simultaneously rn.

Yes, I want my tax dollars feeding every kid breakfast and lunch at school in my state.

And I don’t even have kids. But I understand how much this benefits them and all of us.

In case this is of help to others, ran into a "unable to get certificate CRL" error with OpenSSL. Turns out this is suppose to be fixed in OpenSSL 3.3.1 (the gem -- what I'm currently using) but isn't. I'm also using the latest OpenSSL binary. Here's the version details:

OpenSSL 3.6.0 1 Oct 2025 (Library: OpenSSL 3.6.0 1 Oct 2025)

The only way I was able to fix this was to apply Ledermann's fix as mentioned in this issue: https://github.com/ruby/openssl/issues/949

#ruby
