I'm waiting for the "10 Things I Regret About Deno" blog post.

JavaScript bloat is downstream of low FED interest rates.

Does that mean RubyCentral or anyone associated with them no longer have admin access to RubyGems GitHub organization? Watching the debacle unfold made me much less trusting of their "stewardship".

It's good to hear Ruby core team took the ownership. Thank you Matz.

Alive and well. I write Ruby every day and enjoy doing so. It's the only thing that consistently got better for me in the last 10+ years without losing it's simplicity and joy. Ruby is truly a programmer's best friend.

A story about a stamp with no picture of the stamp. Great journalism.

Here's the first search result with the actual picture of the stamp: https://www.thelocal.fr/20251009/french-post-office-rolls-ou...

They removed privacy.resistFingerprinting.spoofOsInUserAgentHeader a while back as well. I find that suspicious.

All my comments on the previous thread has been retroactively flagged so I can attest to this.

The word "Capitalist" is casually thrown in with other bad things to make it look bad. Don't be tricked. Capitalism is a good and moral system. In fact, it is the only moral system that works. What's bad is central planning and government surveillance.

Yes, the argument was: You shouldn't freeze the bank accounts of people (trucker or not) just because you disagree with them. I don't see how this can be seen as controversial. The relation to the subject of the thread is Ruby Central. Here's the relation: https://www.mermaidchart.com/play#pako:eNqrVkrOT0lVslJKL0osy...

Am I the only one who feels like discussing politics at work is inappropriate? While I'm not apolitical, I appreciate having a space where the constant bombardment of politics is momentarily absent. It's refreshing to focus on work without the need for political discourse.

The cancellation of DHH's keynote was purely political. At that time, RubyCentral's response was similarly uncommunicative and their explanation was BS.

This is not the first strike.

We thank the maintainers and respect their legacy.

After removing them without explanation, cutting them off projects they have maintained over a decade and ignoring them when they asked for restoration or dialogue. I feel sad for the maintainers. This is not how they deserve to be treated.

For future reference, the flagged parent comment was: "Slop."

The recent actions taken by Ruby Central - removing long-time RubyGems and Bundler maintainers without warning, seizing administrative access, and consolidating control under a small, centralized group - represent a serious breach of trust within the Ruby ecosystem.

This was not a misunderstanding. It was a hostile takeover of key infrastructure, undermining both the long-standing maintainers and the broader community that relies on RubyGems and Bundler every day.

The Ruby ecosystem thrives on collaboration, openness, and mutual respect. What we've witnessed over the past week violates those principles. Ruby Central's actions - unilateral access revocations, exclusion of experienced volunteers, and refusal to engage in transparent dialogue - are not just organizational missteps. They're a threat to the decentralized and community-driven spirit that has sustained Ruby for decades.

I oppose this power grab.

Even more concerning is the idea that contributor access could become contingent on employment status or ideological alignment. Whether someone is employed by Ruby Central - or holds left-leaning, right-leaning, or apolitical views - should have no bearing on their ability to contribute to open source. Merit, dedication, and community trust must remain the foundation.

If Ruby Central is serious about supporting the Ruby community, they must:

- Immediately restore access to all maintainers removed during this incident.

- Publicly commit to a transparent, community-driven governance model, similar to what the RubyGems team had begun drafting.

- Respect the autonomy of open source maintainers, regardless of whether they are employed by Ruby Central.

- Acknowledge the harm caused by these actions and engage in meaningful dialogue to rebuild trust.

The Ruby community has always been about people - diverse, passionate, and united by a love for a beautiful language. It's time we demand that the institutions claiming to represent us act accordingly.

And if Ruby Central does not do this we must pressure sponsors to stop funding Ruby Central and ultimately; if all else fails, we must build and maintain our own infrastructure unencumbered by these shenanigans. Also, in order to re-establish trust in the community; the people responsible for causing this ruckus should be fired.

Your comment reminds me of this video: https://youtu.be/R3gef1Wn9BE

I would just go with "Remove non-breaking space characters" instead of writing a Russian novel.

Also, if you're on macOS just use a Karabiner rule [0] that converts all non-breaking space characters to regular space characters to prevent yourself from accidentally typing it out.

I think DHH makes a good argument in Rails World 2023 Opening Keynote; in particular "Fed Pauses Rate Hikes But Stiffens Long-Term Outlook" slide.

API-only - the only technology we should be using to create web UI is JavaScript. Using native technologies is always the most flexible, scalable, and simple solution in the long run. Check out Vite if you don't know where to start.

Thanks. I'll pass on that one. Nevertheless, both rage and iodine seem like pretty cool projects FWIW.
