@gruber.foo re: Siri AI giving out choices when it’s unsure, I find it easier to reply back to it with the choice number (i.e “the first one” or “the second one”) rather than saying the same thing to it again and hope it picks the right one.

Found an amazing dark pattern by Yahoo Japan. That "すべて解除" button is actually clickable (and it works!), but they make it gray so it looks like a disabled button 🙅‍♂️

TIL my insurance company has monthly 20,000 JPY out-of-pocket limit so instead of 3,500 JPY per 15mg of Mounjaro injection (at 30% co-pay) it'll be down to about 1,666 JPY each after the reimbursement 🥹

RDoc 8.0.0 is out now. This is the biggest RDoc release in years, and it brings together a lot of the Ruby documentation work I talked about at RubyKaigi. Also, RDoc now has a logo!

I've recently been a fan of bundler/inline since it allows me to write scripts in Ruby without having to have a Gemfile, but I'm a bit annoyed that the `source` line is required otherwise the automatic installation will fail. I wish there's a way to set a default source via `bundle config` instead.

Maybe it's because I'm turning 40 but I felt like I'm happy as long as what I wrote was useful for people. I'm fine with being just some kilobytes in the training data, even after myself is long gone.

I finally moved my blog off from Medium because they finally pulled the plug on free custom domain. However, after seeing how they put in ad in the middle of the posts, I felt like I should have done it sooner. My most surprising thing however is that I still get traffic to them...

Amazing feature! 🥳 I think it's probably make sense for everyone to set this as a default on their machine: > bundle config set --global cooldown 7 For projects that you don't commit Gemfile.lock (i.e. gem development), it's probably worth setting `:cooldown` on the source in the Gemfile as well.

Downie Express returns with a new challenge: Can Mike and his friend Seb travel from Bangkok to Bali by train?

It seems like JR East was doing a public demo of using UWB for ticket gate, which is pretty damn cool. They clearly are the monopoly for closed-loop SFC platform, so it's nice to see them showing something beyond credit card's contactless payment.

UWB Mobile Suica isn’t just walkthrough gates, it’s payments too

Screenshot JR East held an open demonstration of next generation Suica today, UWB (Ultra-wideband) Mobile Suica, at the Takanawa Gateway City Studio open space area just outside of JR Takanawa Gate…
