@stephegn Hi Steph! Such cute doggos!!!

I've been informed dinner starts at 9:30 tonight so I've smiggled a sandwich! 🍔🤣

I'm spending Christmas with the in-laws in Catalonia. There are some... Unique Christmas traditions there which my wife explained to me with this video. 💩

@fndriven Ohhhh neat!

@mur2501 Maybe but that feels a bit too reductive. I mostly do web dev *and* use linux a lot.

@CristobalGarcia I might borrow that! 😂

Why do so many non ruby projects use ruby / rake as the build tool?

Like, bash is hard, I get it... but it works really well for gluing ci tasks together and it doesn't need to pull down a bunch of external libs.

Builds failing because your project depends on an old ruby version / code / deps isn't better.

Running everything through rake for a ruby project make sense, sure! Otherwise why are you wrapping a totally JS codebase's npm commands in a rakefile?

Just because bash can be intimidating doesn't mean that using ruby is the solution.

@yogthos It looks cool but I reckon it might start to be frustrating after a full day of working with it...

Might still give it a go. 🙂

@bazzalisk Ah well... I think I'll pass. 🤣

@bazzalisk how was it?

@bazzalisk I'm curious to see how it pans out.

Given how much material they have to draw from and the need to attract folks who aren't already into the 40K verse something smaller and more self contained than the HH to start with might be better like the Eisenhorn novels perhaps? 🤷‍♂️

@engtao @louis@emacs.ch Oohhhh thanks for this! :-) 🙏

@effy Ack toot!

@LidiaInfanteM what a dork!

Saving the #AdventOfCode for the train journey back home. Just hope I'll have enough signal to load part 2! 🤞
