I have a customer seeing a ThreadError "can't alloc thread” exception. Anyone know why Ruby raises this error in this simple code example?

@coreyspowell Huh, I wonder how does “merging neutron stars" lead to further elements. Shouldn't it form a black hole?

@coreyspowell never heard of “kilonova”, thank you! And what a fantastic image, almost looks like an artist’s conception.

How are we all feeling about Mr Rails being a full on MAGA Nazi? Now he wants to see the rise of the far right in Europe. Are we ok with him and Tobi controlling most of the Ruby ecosystem? Are we ok with companies sponsoring or attending Rails World?

A few times a year I get someone reporting rare and mysterious Timeout::Errors in @sidekiq jobs. I wonder if this is underlying cause:

Who’s got the biggest Processed counter in their @sidekiq dashboard? Anyone in the tens of billions?

Browsers should disable autoplay videos by default. Kill off ad videos in the sidebar.

Do browsers still not have any functionality built in like timeago.js for showing a relative time in the user’s language? That seems like it would be a huge value add for pages and fairly limited in scope.

I just noticed this incredible UI touch in GitHub. It shows the current lexical context: what module/class/method the cursor is in. Note the line numbers.
