And use a single px invisible gif to move things around.

But was Space Jam using multiple images or just one large image with and image map for links?

The author said he had the assets and gave them to Claude. It would be obvious if he had one large image for all the planets instead of individual ones.

And moms are the gate keeps of their kids friends.

Speaking of compiling Ruby. And Stripe coders who have used the Sorbet compiler?

It seems to be gone from the repo, and doesn't seem to be worked on any more? A shame.

AOT compiling Ruby is hard. I'm trying [1] [2].

Sorbet would be in a good position because part of the challenge of making it fast is that Ruby has a lot of semantics that are rarely used but that makes making compiled Ruby fast really hard. E.g. the bignum promotion adds overhead to every single operation unless you can prove invariants about the range of the values; the meta-programming likewise adds overhead and makes even very basic operations really expensive unless you can prove classes (or individual objects) aren't being mucked with...

So starting with type checking is an interesting approach to potentially allow for compiling guarded type-specific fast paths. If my compiler ever gets close enough to feature complete (it's a hobby project, so depends entirely on how much time I get, though now I also justify more time for it by using it as a test-bed for LLM tooling), it's certainly a direction I'd love to eventually explore.

[2] https://github.com/vidarh/writing-a-compiler-in-ruby/ (updated now primarily by Claude Code; it's currently focusing on actually passing RubySpec and making speedy progress, at the cost of allowing some fairly ugly code - I do cleanup passes occasionally, but most of the cleanup will be deferred until more passes)

And won’t the authService.register function also error if the user already exists? Or will it allow double registering the account?

There are deeper problems here that a Result type is not gonna fix.

The Authservice register function will error, it says so in the article

Something that the type system should do is "make impossible states impossible" as Evan Czaplicki said (maybe others too)

We have started to use typed HTML templates in Ruby using Sorbet. It definitely prevents some production bugs (our old HAML templates would have `nil` errors when first going into production).

Many years ago a 4.5 hit when I living in Berkeley, about 2 miles aways and I thought a truck ran into my house. No rolling - just one giant jolt.

Nothing worse than starting off a talk and bombing.

I spent 17 years without a car - first Berkeley then Brooklyn. It was a huge boost in financial freedom and stability - nothing worse than a major repair on something you depend on.

But most of the US this is impossible by design. Where I grew up you might live right next to a grocery store- but it is a mile walk because of the wall and road design. Nuts.

Fly to a state with no sales tax. Portland, Oregon serves this purpose for high end shoppers that come from out of state and out of the country. Folks fly in to buy their Rolex, Gucci, etc, with no tax.

fast installs will be great. compiling ruby is the only slow part left in our provisioning process.

why are you compiling ruby during provisioning?

to this end I have been deploying with the fullstaq-ruby builds for some years now.

we have investigate that, but it requires sudo access which is not allowed but the running user.

You may find the fakeroot utility goes a long way to help. But never forget that binary packages are merely archives, or sometimes, archives-of-archives (as in Debian); we can unroll them anywhere.
