After reading that emperor penguins are now officially an endangered species due to climate change, I just "adopted" one!

TIL Ruby's Exception class has a `detailed_message` method which includes both the exception class and its message:
begin
1 / 0
rescue => e
puts e.detailed_message # => "divided by 0 (ZeroDivisionError)"
endI've lost count of the number of times I've implemented something very similar myself! 🤦

> Configuring Zed editor to use HTML Beautifier as a formatter in ERB templates
-
Can anyone recommend a way to automatically format the HTML in a Rails view template that uses ERB?
* prettier can format HTML, but messes up the contents of the ERB tags
* erb_lint can format the contents of the ERB tags and does _some_ limited formatting of the surrounding HTML
* there are a bunch of prettier extension node packages that claim to handle ERB, but as is all too often the case they all seem to be deadAny advice would be much appreciated!

Finally, not rare, but the first I've seen in my garden, after a sighting on the Königstuhl last week.
A black-and-red froghopper (Cercopis vulnerata; 🇩🇪 Gemeine Blutzikade).
A reminder that froghoppers can release their pre-tensioned leg muscles to jump in just one millisecond, & experience accelerations of over 400g 😬✌️

I'll be a bit sad if this happens... 🐮
And I'd probably even miss the challenge of cycling through the herd or dodging cow pats!

There does now appear to be a *public* page at least, but no RSS/Atom feed... 🫠 (bit of a weird URL too!)

I've signed this open letter asking NHS England to keep its code open.
> Code paid for with public money should be open to the public. This principle is enshrined in the UK Government Design Principles and the NHS Service Standard. It is now being walked back. We are signing this to restate the case.
Please consider signing, particularly if you've ever contributed to UK public-sector software.

Point 12 of the GOV.UK Service Standard:
> Make new source code open
>
> Make all new source code open and reusable, and publish it under appropriate licences. Or if this is not possible, provide a convincing explanation of why this cannot be done for specific subsets of the source code.https://www.gov.uk/service-manual/service-standard/point-12-make-new-source-code-open

Is there a way to get a some kind of feed of opportunities on the UK government's Digital Outcomes & Specialists framework? Ideally an RSS/Atom feed, but an email subscription would suffice.
The websites run by the Crown Commercial Service (now the Government Commercial Agency) are in such a state it's impossible to work out what's going on.

> ‘Significant exposure’: AWS outage exposed UK state’s £1.7bn reliance on tech giant
Although the GOV.UK PaaS [1] was initially built on AWS, it used Terraform with the intention of using other providers, but then it was decommissioned [2] - perhaps it’s worth reviving…?
