Okay, sports fans, I've restored 4.3.9 on my private server. Yay!

The problem was that I had updated ruby. That caused local extensions to not be found. The solution was to do this:

gem pristine --all

and enjoy a cup of coffee. The errors stopped, everything was happy again, & I restarted the servers.

I'll pin this one on both servers for a while to spread the solution for "Source locally installed gems is ignoring [whatever] because it is missing extensions."

The next Rooftop Ruby podcast is going to be a good one. Since the last time we recorded I released a new gem and put up a website that's let me try out Kamal and other new Rails features for the first time. #Ruby

Is there a way to get deprecation warnings/notifications for projects from GitHub or rubygems.org? I just now discovered, after pushing some minor changes, that the async-io gem was deprecated in favor of io-endpoint 10 months ago; luckily it's just a name change so easy to fix.🤯 Need to improve my dependency monitoring.

Alright, so I've got my resume details specified in YAML, and I'm generating HTML and PDF files based on that using my own styling. I am a real nerd. It looks pretty good though.

I could turn this into a gem pretty easily if other people were interested. #Ruby

I made a little arithmetic calculator in Ruby that uses a lexer, parser, and interpreter, since this was the simplest thing I could think of which would use all of those. I can expand it later to take file input and do other more advanced things. #Ruby github.com/collindonnell/MiniC
