A hearty day to everybody within the reach of this toot. I'm going to regret this, but I am now looking towards the end of the tunnel of 3/4-in tape and umatic digitization. I just want to reach out in case somebody is sitting on a tape or a few tapes and wants them to get a digitization done. I'll be packing up the format sometime this year so this is the time to do it.

I watched Kevin Newton's RubyConf 2023 talk about the "prism" parser today and it's a GREAT talk

Stick around for the Q&A afterwards, it's inspiring.

@garrettdimon @jnunemaker seems reasonable but if the first line in the spec is turning on the flag, don’t you get that searchability “for free” anyway? Or am I missing another use case?

Anyone going to @rubyconf this year and is into #coffee - bring a bag of beans from your favorite local roaster and we'll get some like-minded rubyists to do a swap. Still working out details of where/when, but pack a bag with you!

One of my favorite modifiers is "symbolic representation of <topic>". Those results are often better than I could have written myself.

Time to reveal my wooden Game Boy, which I CNCed out of walnut wood. How do you like it?

More details, footage and project files (under CC-BY license) can be found at

Photo of the dark brown wooden Game Boy with white buttons and white screen bezel standing next to an original Game Boy with a light gray injection mold case, a gray screen bezel, black D-pad and red A and B buttons.Photo of the CNC machining process. A block of wood on the wooden bed of a CNC router is already showing the recognizable design of the backside of a Game Boy. A spinning fine end mill is drilling into a part of the battery compartment. The wood is noticably brighter than the finished Game Boy as it has not yet been oiled.Photo of the dark brown wooden Game Boy with white buttons and white screen bezel ist standing on a white surface with a dark blurred backdrop. It shows the title screen of Tetris. To the left and right are wooden Game Boy cartridges. The left one has the same color as the Game Boy and has a carved label reading "Pokemon Walnut version". The other one is made of brighter wood and reads "Pokemon Oak version".Detail shot of the power switch at the top of the wooden Game Boy. The shot also shows the white screen bezel and the detailed decorative lines that are part of the recognizable design of the original Game Boy.

i appreciate whoever writes the @signalapp release notes

What's New
October 24, 2023 ¡ 6.36.0We updated the user interface to better indicate when a group video call is reconnecting. Now you'll see blurred thumbnails instead of what used to look like an elaborate prank where everyone pretended to freeze at the same time.The system tray icon will no longer appear pixelated on Ubuntu Linux, unless you've managed to get Ubuntu Linux running on an old smart refrigerator with a low-res screen.
