@rails I wish I had a third kidney to sell.

Hej @StarbucksDk ...since when was Lactose Free milk non-dairy? I am sure the cows beg to differ

@catalinmpit However, never lose sight of who you are outside of the roles of giving to other people. You get to my mum's age and wonder where your life went after your children grow up and your friends die. When is it your turn?

[RobL @braindeaf]

@catalinmpit Theory is great, perfection is a noble pursuit but in the end we need to ship something that works in the time that we have.

Just reflecting that I have been using Ruby for 20 years now. Wow. Anyway...just published this gem simple today Ouroboros.

"...Ouroboros is an experimental implementation of an infinite circular Array. An Array eating it's own tail..."

@schwad_rb We use AI for inspiration and help with speeding up problem solving..kind like Google with batteries. I've heard code reviews in other companies where "AI wrote it" has been uttered as justification for the way a piece of code is written...which is a solid NO from me

[RobL @braindeaf]

@dhh I am sure that is true for you. But it is not for everyone but societal expectations to have children contributes to the many millions of unwanted children and the damaged adults they become. Embrace joy in people and help others, personal freedom from children is not a bad thing

@KevinMonk I ditched 7,000 emails this evening. A sorry weight on my existence is lifted.

[RobL @braindeaf]

@KevinMonk I am skeptical about AI because I think I don't want to think decades of learning is edundant. However, I took a stab at making a Sinatra based GMail email cleaner because at 98% capacity I am too stingy to pay an extra £2 a month for email. Most of this took about 15 minutes.

@JunoBirch Was hoping to see Copenhagen on that list :)

[RobL @braindeaf]

@schwad_rb I'd buy that for a dollar

@jespr @joemasilotti That's my February project then

So the Sky footage of the F1 was so focused on Hamilton's finish they l show the podium takers crossing the line on the final race as an afterthought. I don't give a shit about Hamilton

@MichaelDChaney Thank you for the detailed explanation it was very helpful. The documentation is certainly misleading then. I think I have to do a write-up of this to make sure I understand and present the problem I was actually trying to solve.

[RobL @braindeaf]

Is this a bug? Or am I not understanding something? Elements in an array are de-duped according to 'eql?' Seemingly not.

#ruby #rails

[RobL @braindeaf]

@MichaelDChaney Sadly I'm not a C programmer, so I can only take a guess at what this is doing. Is my assumption correct that it isn't actually calling eql? I guess I am grossly underestimating the simplicity of this.

[RobL @braindeaf]

@13Zombo13 Well, if you find that you can't bear to hold onto any Original Series 1 then I have a massive amount of gaps in mine.

[RobL @braindeaf]

Just added a new Ruby gem for funsies. faker-gpk because I love faker, and I love Garbage Pail Kids.
