maybe we just need to give the functional Rust programmers their own enclosure with separate enrichment activities so the rest of us can write programs with useful real-world results

OH Functional programming is when Rust people read your code and go "what the fuck (laudatory)". Imperative programming is when Rust people read your code and go "what the fuck (derogatory)"

this is the last weekend of my art show with @shirleywu.studio! we used ceramics, beads, and data from the Japan Meteorological Agency to capture the dates of sakura blooms and ginkgo and maple leaf color changes over the last seven decades. 🌸🍁🍃 luma.com/calendar/cal...
a photo with a blurry flyer on a wall in the left foreground, and a ceramics installation on the back wall. the ceramics are shaped like sakura flowers, ginko leaves, and maple leaves, and show a graph of how the dates of sakura blooms and fall leaf colors turning are changing over the decades due to global warming

you could have simply gone less overboard in the past! or, alternatively, force yourself to be at peace with not outdoing yourself every time. neither of which I think are actually possible 😆

I have been writing this post about the economics of open source, on and off, for 13 years. I wasn't expecting to end up at "Microsoft should send corporations a huge bill" but nothing else we've tried has worked. seldo.com/posts/nobody-pays-for-ope…
seldo.com
Nobody pays for open source. We can force them to. | Seldo.com
Thirty years of voluntary funding schemes haven't paid open source maintainers because asking doesn't scale. The real money already flows — to JFrog, Docker, Sonatype — at the registry layer. The fix: registries charge companies for supply (they already do), then route a slice automatically to the maintainers who make that supply worth having.

whoa I haven't used erb directly from the CLI before! that's pretty cool, though. quick check on how that CLI works makes it look like it doesn't have the ability to do arrays: github.com/ruby/erb/blo.... You'll need a hair more ruby code, give me a sec to give you an example.
