Spinel would be more interesting if this compiled subset could run side by side with interpreted Ruby, like Pallene does for (slightly modified) Lua.

One of cool things about Factor (and part of why I brought it up) is that it basically does something similar out of the box. There is a full-featured optimizing compiler and a simpler, faster non-optimizing compiler for eval-like functionality. They work seamlessly together in the interactive Factor environment:

Right now the cost of c interop in ruby is too high. It's actually more perfomant in the general case to rewrite any c lib wrappers in pure ruby these days and let jit do the work

The most recent cartoon Spinel in my mind is from Steven Universe, so I hadn't noticed the Spinel/Ruby (Moon) pun, that made my day.

I never expected SU to come up in HN! Unfortunately, it wouldn't be the best reference...

Did something happen with SU?

Oh, no – I meant Spinel and her tragic past.

WebDAV is kinda bad, and back then it was a big deal that corporate proxies wouldn't forward custom HTTP methods. You could barely trust PUT to work, let alone PROPFIND.

No what? That doesn't contradict their comment about Thunderbird.

I think "No, this was not funded by donations".

Blocking Cloudflare is not significantly different from cutting the internet depending on which part of it you need. We recently had a thread about CI jobs failing to connect to Docker from Spain during football. I personally know when there's football because saucenao stops working.

Vice versa for most Spaniard opinions on South American Spanish dubs.

Being objective, both sides of the pond have produced many shitty Spanish dubs and some good ones, and unless there's too much difference for a given series we all just prefer our native dub.

You might be mixing up Windows RT and WinRT. The former was Windows 8 for ARM with the Store as the only software source; the latter was the new set of APIs.

Assuming no false-positives from Windows Defender, you just click through a "scary" SmartScreen warning. Note that signing the exe isn't enough to remove the warnings, you then need to build up reputation for your cert by having enough users click through the warnings.

I believe Dan Salvato, the creator of DDLC, said he wasn't aware of YOU and ME and HER until late in development.

Convergent evolution. It’s probably just an amazing and fortuitous coincidence. They look similar but have completely different internal structure, like a bug that pretends to be a leaf. I can’t go any further without spoilers, so I won’t.

There might be a slim evolutionary thread between them, actually. DDLC made a reference to a certain Gravity Falls episode which has a similar premise by releasing exactly 3 years later, and that one could have been inspired by the then recent release of Totono during production.

But I agree it's convergence for the most part, it's not that hard to come up with that premise even if it hasn't been too common.
