Looking to impress your Ruby friends by calculating the largest known prime, 2**136_279_841-1?

On Ruby 3.4.0-preview2 and earlier, 2**136_279_841-1 logs a warning and returns Infinity 😔.

Thanks to @mametter.bsky.social, Ruby 3.4 will handle this calculation just fine! github.com/ruby/ruby/pu... 🧵

It's disappointing to see so much feature feedback, including some very useful and some not so useful, and yet it seems as though github isn't reading it. github.com/orgs/communi...

I love Quiet Posters — can be pretty easy to miss friends or other infrequent posters in the following firehose, this does a great job of plucking them out for you. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Bluesky has gotten LOUD! That's not a bad thing, but I've been here a year and a half and I'm getting used to the changes.

Here's a feed I love. It finds the quieter posters from your follows to display only.

These are often your friends or deliberate follows. Give it a try!

I almost poured water into my half full coffee mug so that's how it's going. TGIF

FYI, it looks like URI 1.0.0 was released and removed some constants that have been there forever. REGEXP and PATTERN.

The "New Repo Insights" feature at github seems to be only users commenting. I'm surprised it's been a few months and there has been no official update on the concerns people raised. github.com/orgs/communi...

PSA to all Rubyists about the great `all-ruby` tool that allows one to run Ruby code against all Ruby versions since the beginning. If you see something that doesn’t make sense, or think is a regression, just run it against this tool to see how it behaves on different Ruby versions.

I have been curating my starter packs, so even if you used one previously, you might want to check back from time to time.

Good list of Ruby folks here, and if you look at their following/followers you’ll find even more.

Benoit Daloze benchmarked different Ruby parsers and shared his results:

Prism comes out on top in terms of performance and developer ergonomics.

It’s nice to see it’s the default parser in CRuby 3.4.0-preview2. It’s the integrated parser used by TruffleRuby 24.1.1, too.

I gave it time and the repo insights/contributors view still feels inferior to what was there before for many of the reasons others have stated: github.com/orgs/communi...

A less bloated mail is not yet dead github.com/mikel/mail/p...

My new favorite warning:
