Imagine if we spoke about wearing glasses like we do other disabilities.
“Oh, you don’t need them, just SEE harder.”
“What’s wrong with you? You’re just making it up for attention.”
“Oh, sorry, we can’t make the text bigger, it’s just how we do things.”
And yet, wearing glasses is acceptable and normal. But if you didn’t wear them, you would be disabled! You wouldn’t be able to see properly. We have made a wholesale, societal adjustment for people who wear glasses to the point where glasses are now a fashionable item that people wear false lenses for.
It is possible to make accessibility part of the world we live in. It is possible to do it in such a way that as a civilisation, we don’t even see it as a disability, but as something completely normal.

Hispanoparlantes, pregunta: ¿qué nombre dais al vaso de plástico, presumiblemente con capacidad de ~1L, en el que típicamente se sirven bebidas alcohólicas?
¡Otras variantes (y su ubicación geográfica) en los comentarios, por favor!

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !
Day 20
Q: Why were Black folk so happy when OJ was acquitted? To be honest, it feels disgusting. Why does it seem like you're happy he got away with murder?
A: Y'all are gonna need to resist the urge to reply until you've read the whole thread. And I mean, the whole thread.
It's not about OJ:

Today in the USA we celebrate the Presidents of the United States of America, who in 1996 gave us millions of peaches, peaches for free.
I wrote about a weird (to me) syntax error in #Ruby that is not quite like other syntax errors: `void value expression` https://blog.pablobm.com/2024/02/16/ruby-void-value-expression/ 🤔

PSA: Stop calling these: () brackets!
These () are parentheses
These [] are brackets
These {} are curly braces
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Oh hey, the Attorney General of Indiana has published a snitch line for schools that teach LGBTQ+ issues, or make Woke materials available to their students!
Here’s the URL. Use it responsibly. Don’t use it to report Godzilla flying the Trans flag or anything like that, ok?

TIL that now you can add `ruby file: ".ruby-version"` to your Gemfile. Hat tip to @andycroll!

One of the issues that makes coding so difficult is that things that make it easier require more skill to use. i.e. tests, types, patterns.
If they're implemented incorrectly or in the wrong scenario, these helpers will, at best, slow you down and, at worst, make progress impossible. But when they're there and they are good, it's like being strapped to a rocket pointed at the solution.
