9. By far my favorite thing in the film is Robert Pattinson's hilarious and sexy Antinous. If anyone ever wants to make a spin off TV series with Antinous risen from the dead to mess with other mythical households, I would be so there for it.

Also please don't restrict bundler and ruby versions like `bundler < 3.0` and `required_ruby_version < 4.0` 🙏

For Rails folks out there: should Rails have a built-in way to override `Warning.warn` to use the Rails logger (if defined) instead of `$stderr`? I assume someone must be already doing that but perhaps there's a reason why we shouldn't.

The Herb Linter by @marcoroth.dev just works™ It caught both the fact that we're missing double quotes and that we've used `<% %>` instead of `<%= %>`. And it automatically produced GitHub-compatible output 👌

If you're like me and have Byebug's `continue LINE#` as muscle memory, it can be hard to remember that you can't do that in the Debug gem, you need to call `until LINE#` instead. I wrote a snippet to make debug's `continue` work like it does in byebug; add this to your `~/.rdbgrc.rb` file:

Ruby code with the following:

DEBUGGER__::Session.prepend(Module.new do
def register_default_command
super

register_command 'c', 'cont', 'continue', repeat: true, cancel_auto_continue: true do |arg|
leave_subsession_or_step :continue, arg
end
end

private

def leave_subsession_or_step type, arg = nil
if arg
step_command :until, arg
else
leave_subsession type
end
end
end)

# Reset the commands for the current session.
DEBUGGER__::SESSION.send(:register_default_command)

I think I liked coding better when I didn't know anything. My days used to be "berp-a-derp, I'm just happy to be here!"

TIL In #Rails generators you can add a bang(!) to the end of a column's type to set the column as `null: false` in the migration.

bin/rails g Model Foo bar:string! (with an exclamation mark at the end of string) creates a migration where the bar column is set as null false.

I need someone that lives near St. Louis to go tour this house then come back and explain to me how you're supposed to get in and out of these bunk beds. www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

A set of two bunk beds in a room. Neither of the beds has a ladder or foot holds to help you get to the top bunk.

@vinistock.bsky.social & @flavorjon.es so I discovered why `ruby-lsp` wasn't providing indentation for me in Emacs. My repo uses Rubocop and I use `indent-region` to indent an entire file (which ends up calling `lsp-format-region`). This comment makes it a bit obvious why that wasn't working! 😅

The hardest part of living in Denmark is having to explain to my American friends that, I would love to see them, but Amsterdam is in the entirely different country of _The Netherlands_ so I can't hang out with them on their spontaneous Europe trip. 🇩🇰 🙅🇳🇱
