ruby 3.1 added the feature OP is quoting. If you have local variables x and y and the method definition def doit(:x, :y) you can just call it with, IIRC: doit(x:, y:) instead of doit(x: x, y: y) as was needed befo

There's PhotoKit: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/photokit It's somewhat different than the Flickr API, so it's hard to compare. The Flickr API is great in that it gives you access to everythin

Just put a line in the README that it’s “pronounced with a hard G , like noon ”, then wait to see what the MC at the first conference uses when they introduce you.

I’m quite happy with ruby’s rake for my needs. I mostly use it to define pipelines, often involving data downloads and transformations into datasets for ML. It works well when you work with files, preferably containing a single or few entit

The argument that OP may or may not have intended is that any change in Google Maps benefits a fraction of “everybody” that equal to Google Maps’ share of the market. That’s maybe 80-90%. Telling users of Google Maps that their contribution

Good times for some, traumatic memories of childhood for others…. I used to have this daydream of a red line painted onto the road leading you to your destination. Never expected it to become real (in a slightly different form). Too late fo

You need NFTs to have something to trade with your cryptocurrencies. And you need cryptocurrencies to trade NFTs.

The data that is at risk of being changed with malicious intent is certainly not insignificant, but still just a fraction of all data. Changing to this adds a new and complicated system, replacing whatever you're currently using, which

To be fair, there are lots of tricks to get stuff moving faster in Python, usually by invoking some module that delegates to native code. This was, IIRC, doing everything in the most straightforward way. But I did port the source code essen

It is insanely fast. Some text munging python script once told me it would take 14 hours. I ported it to Crystal in 40 minutes, and it completed ten minutes later.

The (non-code) monkeys on the rocks may well be the spirit animals crypto needs, what with their annoying demands for food and attention, and intermittent throwing of feces. But what happen to that other cryptohub? Oh, no! What, Vulcans? Re

This is the ugliest hack I’ve seen since I wrote a php script that would output a Perl script that would create an excel file. I have nothing but respect for the author, but if this is needed, maybe Postgres needs to invest some work?

Do you think „non profit“ means they don’t have to pay for servers and employees? And yes.

The central problem with this and similar endeavors: nobody is willing to pay what they are worth in ads. Let's say the average Google user in the US earns them $30/year. Are you willing to pay $30/year for an ad-free Google

No, self-preservation instincts, and other protective instincts, also apply to others. That's what so-called "mirror neurons" are known for. It isn't just some separate wish not to see other people's suffering, but

If the article's glorification of the man is acceptable, then so is criticism. And the fact that the term "cancel culture" is applied to a person that has been dead for more than half a century tells you that the term has bec

There is no possible way you don’t know what OP means. I can understand if you insist on regarding Greenwald as anything but yet another hack these days: you’d be wrong, of course. But there are too many wrong in that specific way to consid

Antisemitism isn’t exactly a “new” idea. If people you follow are routinely shut down by Twitter, you should maybe try some not-quite-as-hatey ideas for a change. As a point of reference: I follow 1,400 people, including a lot in science an

And I’d, in turn, amend that comment to strike the gratuitous swipe at “the media”. At least “the media” I consume does not “parrot” social media toxicity. It may mention it if it gets traction, as is their job.

The whole ecosystem is locked in this tiny box that is amendable to complete computation. It is impossible to connect that paradigm to the real world without, in some way, falling back to concepts they reject, like trusting someone’s testim

Yea, but has little to do with OP’s point, which was VC attention -> (requires, and therefore proves) centralized entities. The reverse isn’t true, and nobody claimed it to be.
