Delighted that this has come to Sainsburyโs
Itโs (still) what the people want
Just pushed some delayed fixes and improvements to RCharts which should make timeseries charts a lot better than before. Do check it out, works great for us in production, but I could do with feedback ๐ github.com/BuildingAtla...
Definitely most cursed folder (anti-folder?) invented
Latest GitHub bug is that a non-technical reviewer requested for visual review literally doesnโt have a submit button ๐คฆโโ๏ธ but issues load faster so itโs fine, really
Lol a month ago was going to my local M&S and passed Bill Nighy, now at the RA just went past Amelia Dimoldenburg
If you install from GitHub, the slightly gratuitous demo in the dummy app is worth checking out in particular
Itโs RCharts, now on RubyGems! github.com/BuildingAtla... A very unusual charting library: both server-side *and* responsive, meaning itโs fantastic with Turbo morphing. Loads to say but the key things are: it doesnโt do absolutely everything, is still a WIP, but is definitely ready for wider usage
So if you put Turbo morphing, loads of SVGs, CSS transitions, grid layout, slightly insane container queries, plenty of maths, and an API that works a lot like FormBuilder all together, what do you get? I have a very exciting answer to this question to be revealed very soonโฆ (even works in WebKit)
โDepth, motion, and clarityโ ๐ฅฒ
So my โprinter wonโt print on Tuesdaysโ bug is that in Chrome specifically, Google Meet meetings which only have one other participant crash the whole session after a few minutes (hilariously awkward). Doesnโt affect other browsers, Iโve tried both containerised and uncontainerised Chrome
A year after getting it thereโs still something magical each time I make espresso with my 9Barista: I think because while the mechanism is so simple, and only requires heat, it still manages pressure and temperature itself. So incredibly simple, reliable, and consistent with minimal user input
I would have more confidence in GitHubโs reimplementation of perfectly functional features if the reimplementations had fewer noticeable bugs ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
The thing about a lot of the anodyne (but still unhinged) conspiracy theory content that clogs my Instagram feed these days is that the form is so reminiscent of the wild stories I remember kids telling in the playgroundโฆ I think I would be less bothered somehow if they were more sophisticated
Iโm always impressed by Karambolage. I see everyday things in France and Germany and am idly curious, but never expect proper explanations because if you live there itโs just normal. But the stories and histories are often really interesting, and show how human experience can vary so unpredictably
Itโs an amazing language that made me think about types in a completely different way, it also makes me so glad to be able to write stuff in other languages without having to think much about memory management ๐
Sort of amazing how the US income tax system can be so complicated that it feels like it could never be meaningfully automated even by the IRS (if the tax preparers would stop their lobbying), while at the same time, in the UK, less than a quarter of people even need to file a vastly simpler return
Had a headache from screens yesterday so went for a long walk along the river to Hammersmith (Iโm in Pimlico), then started reading Invisible Cities. I honestly feel more at home in London than anywhere else, but accurately describing what itโs like feels impossible to me because itโs so varied
On that live translation feature from WWDC: for years people have made fun of others for trying to hold up their phones with translations. Rotting in the Sun is a recent film that did this very well. I could be wrong, but it seems like such a classic AI mirageโit doesnโt actually shift the needle
Went on a surprisingly long quest for broodje haring and it does not disappointโif you love pickles and love fish, get yourself to Amsterdam!
I wish it were advertised that Linux does have established, coherent, and expansive ecosystems. With Fedora you benefit from all the projects which (in)directly help Red Hatโs enterprise productโsane containerisation, system services, packaging, a great desktop environmentโฆ itโs not Mad Max at all
Building Atlas is hiring another Rails engineer! We scale decarbonisation of commercial property with retrofit modelling at portfolio scale using just addresses. If youโre a UK full-stack engineer with some Python experience please consider applying!

And not only does Danish have loads of vowels already, a lot of consonants are still turning into vowels or disappearing. Even famous phoneticians are amazed: phonetic-blog.blogspot.com/2010/11/dani...
@malcic.codes thanks for being my conference buddy! ๐โค๏ธ
Went to my first Ruby conference and #brightonruby is really great, predictably great people, can definitely recommend!
Plus an inspired talk on some logic puzzles by @rosa.codes which gave me such fond memories of formal linguistics. Also that I should read the Agda book I have!
Like & repost if you also, like me, would like to see @ rubyonrails.org on Bluesky.
