Rails 8.0.5.2 and 8.1.4.1 fix 21 security issues, including a critical Active Storage file read/write flaw. Rails 8.0 also left security support on Nov 7. If you maintain a Rails app, check your version and patch this week.

These are all the clients, partners and colleagues I work with that I now need to reference this list several times a day just to collaborate with. Then in the sprint the offset will change again. It's me that's constantly under pressure not them.

It was such a dumb change.

Welcome to living in Alberta! Vancouver, LA, Seattle (PST is now 2hrs away from me). Working with internationals just become 10x harder. Love how my province thought to make international business harder. Now I have this calendar open on everything because all times move towards and way from us instead of together since the vast majority of the world uses semi-annual time adjustments.

@aksis_21 @Glovesy519 @FriedgeHNIC Shane is going to be a 2C in Nash. He’s better than the Kraken had because they mishandled him. He’ll be like Podz in Edmonton; just needs a chance to grow and feel that support. He’ll get that in Nash

In your opinion, is Grok @bot useful for startups?

[Roger @roger]

@0xCodila Does anyone know a good OS that I can just replace my TV with that’s open Source and put it on? This to me would seem like the best option.

[Roger @roger]

@ManBanality @EricDLombardi Ok and?

[Roger @roger]

Ok you are unlikely to be right. Cities much much bigger in the US have massive sprawling suburbs with lots of detached homes. Demand was extraordinary during the 60s-70s, greater than at any other time in history for North America. Why? Massive urbanization and population boom.

I’m not trying to be a jerk, but I’m wondering if people can think away from the media narrative and so I’m going to listen and knock down your arguments as you go. Let’s see together where you land, but know I’m also open to this conversation and so I’m curious to see the end as well.

[Roger @roger]

@jacoobaloo @EricDLombardi So you think a lower population is the reason a detached home relative to earners was cheaper?

[Roger @roger]

Yes and no. There have been studies where they have seen recidivism rates decline significantly with rehabilitation but that’s in countries with homogeneous societies not multicultural societies where norms amongst all members of society tend to not be uniform. Like in Norway where I read of successful implementation they had a very uniform society at the time high investment in education, low violence society overall etc, so it’s easier to see how rehabilitation towards an acceptable norm is achievable, but when norms are not uniform and worse violence has become normalized within groups then I doubt it’s effective tbh.

This is a dumb take because Apple has never targeted developers. We have just been the beneficiary of the fact that the underlying system worked amazingly for Software development. All the changes they’re making are consistent with their own ethos to make it easy for regular users. AI is dangerous today for regular users; I’m sure overtime this will be reduced as safety improves for now. Apple needs to act defensively because their user base expects it. Software developers are not their user base we are the other category.

Apple is going to make it even harder to productively use macOS in the age of agents? Bold move. Let's see how it plays out!

Why not prison?

We will not tolerate illegal dumping in Alberta.

Last year Calgary alone got about 30,000 complaints about illegal dumping. Piles left on roadsides, on farmland, on private property. Illegal dumping is not a victimless crime. Somebody always pays to clean it up and it is almost never the person who did it. The people stuck with the bill are the landowners, the municipalities and the taxpayers.

This fall we are bringing in the toughest penalties in the country. Fines up to $100,000 for individuals and up to $1 million for corporations, plus jail time of up to six months.

Albertans take pride in their communities. Our laws should back that up, and our cities deserve better than this.

[Roger @roger]

@VioletDante @BrokenSince77 @Lieutenant_Eric Possibly

[Roger @roger]

@BrokenSince77 @Lieutenant_Eric Hmmm maybe that would be a win win.

[Roger @roger]

@cwdegnan @matanSF Who cares. It’s either slander or it’s not. Let’s let the lawyers find the winner. Odds are good both are somewhat wrong, but we’ll see. Just stay out of it and call the post what it is “unprofessional”.

[Roger @roger]

@WildcatOil @Lieutenant_Eric Yeah that’s a non-answer.

@BrentSmith60223 @JohnStraumann @BiaNeuroscience Mostly assembly happens outside of China and the vast majority of cases.

@EmuConspiracy @BiaNeuroscience @b29953 Defeats the whole purpose of the Platform dude.
