#rubykaigi に参加してました。今年もとても濃い時間を過ごしました。毎年このクオリティ出すの本当に凄い。北海道も楽しみ。
Linked is a super useful directory of many or most of the classic foundational Computer Science algorithms. No, there was no PID or Kalman Filter but those are a bit specialized. https://salas.com/2025/03/22/visual-focused-algorithms-cheat-sheet/#algorithms #computerscience #visual #explainer #computer-vision #searching #sorting #maps
Linked is a great overview of how common CPU optimizations work. It teaches with a really good metaphor. Worth reading even if you are not optimizing to the point of counting cycles!https://salas.com/2025/03/25/hardware-aware-coding-cpu-architecture/#architecture #performance #cpu #optimization
炊き込みの方の鯛めし食べられてなかったのでありがてえ
I used `protected` for reals in a #Ruby class yesterday, and that’s probably a sign that I’ve gone too far in my refactor.
I think the prevailing culture in Ruby is to forget about language-enforced encapsulation and simply agree to ignore crufty parts of APIs. Honestly that seems to work out ok in practice
I wonder how all the "you don't need privacy if you've got nothing to hide" people are doing right now
So many great announcement, exciting developments and features announced at #RubyKaigi that I can't wait to see the videos.
I really need to make it next year to the conference.
Congrats to organisers and spekers!
3h agoそれはそれとしてRubyKaigi 2025にお越しくださった皆様ありがとうございました。これで味をしめて再訪したりふるさと納税してくれたら私としてもしめたものです
3h ago日本人がほとんどいないB会場で一人でsigstore-rubyの話聞いて「そうそうそうそう！！」ってニヤニヤしながら日本語で実況してたのがわたしです
KOMOJUさんでしたorz
KUMOJIさんとTwoGateさんのドリンクアップにおじゃましてます
Our Security Engineer in Residence, Samuel Giddins, gave a great talk on Sigstore in Ruby today at #RubyKaigi!
We'll be sharing video once it's out. 🇯🇵

This dude says Ruby is perfect for crafting DSLs. He’ll dive into Ruby’s expressiveness, dynamic features, and even cultural norms to prove it. Meet Steven Baker and pray that the expressiveness he talks about actually matches those cultural norms (though, who are we kidding?).
