rv, a new kind of Ruby management toolFor the last ten years or so of working on Bundler, I’ve had a wish rattling around: I want a better dependency manager. It doesn’t just manage your gems, it manages your ruby versions, too. It doesn’t just manage your ruby versions, it installs pre-compiled rubies so you don’t have to wait for ruby to compile from source every time. And more than all of that, it makes it completely trivial to run any script or tool written in ruby, even if that script or tool needs a different ruby than your... 2025-08-25T23:21:07-0700 André.Arko.net André Arko 1,000 words Rated 2025-08-26T16:18:14-0700

Why you can’t grow cool-climate plants in hot climatesSince moving to Deep South Texas 4 years ago I've come to realize that many plants I used to love growing in the cool mild maritime climate of the SF bay area are impossible to grow where I live.

States rethink a long-held practice of setting speed limits based on how fast drivers travelRoad safety activists and some states are pushing to depart from a longstanding rule that sets speed limits in the United States based largely on how fast drivers actually travel. This is due to the 85% rule, which ties speed limits to the speed of the 15th-fastest vehicle out of every 100 traveling a road in ideal conditions. Critics say this approach encourages speeding. Ohio is among the states considering new guidelines that focus more on safety. But supporters of the rule say it provides... #Activism #Business #California #North Dakota #Ohio #Politics #Texas #Washington #Wisconsin 2025-08-16T21:00:54-0700 AP News https://apnews.com/author/jeff-mcmurray 2,000 words Rated 2025-08-19T16:57:43-0700

For the technically curious, understanding how fare buckets work reveals the "source code" of airline revenue management.
