Can Bundler Be as Fast as uv?

At RailsWorld earlier this year, I got nerd sniped by someone. They asked “why can’t Bundler be as fast as uv?” Immediately my inner voice said “YA, WHY CAN’T IT BE AS FAST AS UV????” My inner voice likes to shout at me, especially when someone asks a question so obvious I should have thought of it myself. Since then I’ve been thinking about and investigating this problem, going so far as to give a presentation at XO Ruby Portland about Bundler performance. I firmly believe the answer is “Bundle

Seattle Waterfront

Pixoo64 Ruby Client

I bought a Pixoo64 LED Display to play around with, and I love it! It connects to WiFi and has an on-board HTTP API so you can program it. I made a Ruby client for it that even includes code to convert PNG files to the binary format the sign wants. One cool thing is that the display can be configured to fetch data from a remote server, so I configured mine to fetch PM2.5 and CO2 data for my office.

Bainbridge Island Mochi Tsuki

Last weekend we took the ferry to Bainbridge Island to see a Mochi Tsuki event. I read about the history of Japanese immigrants on Bainbridge island. I saw people making mochi, a taiko drummer group, and traditional dances. It was a lot of fun, and I learned a lot. Definitely recommend this event!

I highly recommend getting in to open source, but make sure that nobody uses your code
