Strange that Marathi pronunciation & transliteration of ENG words with V has an extra H. I mean व्हिकटरी, व्हाइट, etc It's not like the Marathi language doesn't have the V sound (words like विजय, वड़ा, etc do exist). What gives? Or गिव्हस should I ask? @_svs_ @execat

Try pronouncing victory like Vijay? It’s not same as its original English pronunciation. The extra h is to distinguish Victory (of English accent/pronunciation) from victory pronounced like Vijay.

The H is very misleading and jarring. I like the option of having a व with a nukta = व़ since there is precedent of Devanagari doing that when new sounds had to be written down. Unicode also supports it natively and व़िक्टोरिया is much easier on the eye than व्हिक्टोरिया.

Don't make me write a blog article about this because I would have to start a blog.

I hacked together a small script - whenever someone buys my subscription, my bedroom light turns into party mode for 30 seconds. 🪩🚨 It polls the @dodopayments API to check for any new successful payments. If yes, it sends raw RGB party commands over UDP to the bulb to make it turn into a disco. So every new subscriber turns into a mini celebration in my room. It’s a simple hack, a little silly, but it makes working on side projects feel a lot more alive.

JRuby is frequently the “last stop” for Ruby users needing to scale large apps. We are a huge part of keeping Ruby usable in large organizations. When they leave JRuby, they don’t come back to Ruby ever again. Please help us keep JRuby moving forward! headius.com/welcome.html
The Ruby community needs to realize that failing to support JRuby users means they may stop using Ruby. They can't go back to CRuby because it doesn't scale for them, so they go to Python or Go. JRuby support is **critical** for the future of Ruby. Help us help you support JRuby.

One of my previous employers used an ancient DB (AS400 + DB2) whose only official SDK was a JAR file. If it wasn't for JRuby + Sinatra, we would have no other option than to use a Java based framework. JRuby + Java libraries + easy-to-deploy JAR/WAR executables = chef's kiss.

What you're referring to as Libya, is in fact, GNU/Libya, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Libya: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Govern… #GNU #Libya

Add NixOS or Nix package manager. People convinced of the Nix style are a certain type, I have noticed.

Even if you don’t want to be rich, you should study the nature of money. Even if you don’t care about #Bitcoin, you should study Bitcoin. Even if you don’t buy into Christianity, you should study Jesus Christ.

Why would I study one of the weakest & newest religions? Buddhism, Hinduism, small eye people religion all historically more significant. Christianity = shitcoin = Cardano The ones I mentioned = bitcoin. Study btc first.
