So glad you found it. This is what I wanted to show you with the monitor but it wouldn’t reach.

I had three people from Brazil on a call recently because they wanted to start contributing to Puma but were unsure of where to start. This is something I've done for years and I've always loved it. We sometimes get really important new contributors from these convos.

We supplemented school with “learn to read” exercises at home. It was difficult. Also important to us as we go to a mandarin immersion school so they get less english than a regular school. I think we started around Pk4.

For very young ages, things like math and reading are out of reach except via abstract concepts. Things like hand eye coordination “teaching” looks indistinguishable from coloring play.

Age dependent. I’ve seen some very complacent privileged parents in elementary and middle school “someone has to home last” levels of “school is a thing to endure and doesn’t really matter” which I strongly disagree with.

Yeah.

Also sorry to miss you in amsterdam. I haven’t seen you since you cut your hair.

I feel like CBP and ICE policies and actions that may directly affect you are **literal** political reasons.

Pedantry aside, that sucks.

Environment variable based configuration for CLI tools and frameworks is handy:

E.g. “BUNDLE_PATH=lol bundle install” is equivalent to “bundle install —path lol”

I’m looking for non-Ruby tools that have behavior like this. I’m curious how they support boolean values or special cases like infinity.

I got paid several hundred dollars to stand in line for a Bill book signing when I was in college. IIRC the lady who hired me doubled her money selling them on eBay. I think she netted something like $500. Pretty wild.

Maybe when thread kill is called but term-on-timeout is disabled it could warn about the behavior. Or if puma is detected and is forked we could default to it being on (and warn that they should set it explicitly).

Richard Schneeman @schneems.bsky.social · Aug 6

I added that feature. Moving to it be the default is tricky. Top three servers are puma, falcon, and passenger.

I don’t think falcon supports multi process.

A lot of people in our CGRP Slack community are having issues with Router 2.0 on Heroku. I initially thought this was more Puma/keepalive problems but actually we're seeing it with Falcon, Anycable, and Puma with keepalives disabled too!

The dependency on strum is not the best for compile times but I really like the ergonomics of defining attribute arguments as enums. Theres some error stuff there too.
