#TaylorEngine v0.4.1 has released!

- New collision methods
- New colour tweaking methods

Trying to do minor releases with some frequency now that the biiiig redesign is all done.

https://taylormadetech.dev/2026/01/26/taylor-v0.4.1-released.html

I'm looking for #Ruby or #Elixir work, can start immediately. Freelancer, getter-of-things-done, many years of experience, feel free to DM for more info. Can work worldwide. Happy to work with other languages/frameworks and devops as needed.

@joerg_spengler yes but #problem example #mastodon https://mas.to is running on #donations (?) the massive #RAM hungry #ruby is a expensive 500 bucks a month expensive problem https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/#ram_from=512&ram_to=1024 #eu #gov needs to help

Accept_language 2.2 – RFC 7231/4647 compliant Accept-Language parsing for Ruby

#github #ruby

Almost 15k lines of #Ruby, bodily dragged into the present, catching up on ~6 years of updates.

Test coverage increased from "uhh basically nothing" to 65%.

And, thanks mostly to #Rubocop, the code is way neater and more maintainable now.

We even accidentally fixed some longstanding bugs!

Hugely excited for the next major dev task: moving away from "Amazon" "Web" "Services" for file hosting.

WOW IT IS DONE!!!111

https://github.com/neuronic-games/levelfly/commit/677e6d3959d9563a63942c7c3b16b1b8524726ef

497 files changed, +12137, -8793

Now there are ~5 days to test before the next cohort of students is let loose on the platform 😌

#Ruby #Rails

I updated my "is #guile fast?" page with the new r7rs #benchmarks data and anchored Guile and #Chez in the benchmarksgame:

#Scheme benchmarks: https://www.draketo.de/software/guile-fast#other-schemes
Compared to other languages: https://www.draketo.de/software/guile-fast#other-languages

Chez is roughly factor 7 slower than C,
Guile roughly factor 18
(#Java 3.5, #SBCL 5, #Racket 12, #Ruby 60 and #Python 70)

Diagram of the slowdown of different programming languages, with Guile and Chez anchored it:

#+caption: Approximate geometric mean slowdown¹ as of 2026-01, /Guile* and Chez* only via their relative speed to Racket. ¹ taken by eye from the benchmarksgame graph./
| | C | Java | SBCL | Chez* | Racket | Guile* | Ruby | Python |
|----------+-----+------+------+-------+--------+--------+------+--------|
| Slowdown | 1.1 | 3.5 | 5 | 7 | 12 | 18 | 60 | 70 |

The TIOBE index is often cited when people discuss programming language popularity, but it's ridiculously flawed. I mean, just take a look at the current data - according to it #Ruby and #TypeScript are less popular than #Cobol, #Prolog and Visual Basic…

I started refactoring #adventOfCode Day 9 in #ruby and in this case I opted for extracted auxiliary modules (Memoize) and classes(Point and Rectangle).
Unusual for AoC but satisfactory.

$# auxiliary classes and modules code: Point = Data.define(:x, :y) Rectangle = Data.define(:corner1, :corner2) do def area ((corner2.x - corner1.x).abs + 1) * ((corner2.y - corner1.y).abs + 1) end def xy_bounds x_min, x_max = [corner1.x, corner2.x].minmax y_min, y_max = [corner1.y, corner2.y].minmax [x_min, x_max, y_min, y_max] end end # intentionally naive for argless methods module Memoize def memoize(name) original = instance_method(name) ivar_name = "@#{name}" define_method(name) do if instance_variable_defined?(ivar_name) instance_variable_get(ivar_name) else instance_variable_set(ivar_name, original.bind(self).call) end end end end$ $# Advent of code - Day 9 class MovieTheater extend Memoize attr_reader :corners def initialize(filename) @corners = File.readlines(filename).map do |line| x, y = line.strip.split(',').map(&:to_i) Point[x, y] end end def solution(advanced: false) = advanced ? max_inscribed_rectangle : largest_area # Part 1 def largest_area = all_rectangles.map(&:area).max # Part 2 def max_inscribed_rectangle = sorted_rectangles.rfind { inscribed?(it) }&.area || 0 private memoize def all_rectangles = corners.combination(2).map { |pair| Rectangle[*pair] } # Part 2 def sorted_rectangles = all_rectangles.sort_by(&:area) def inscribed?(rect) x_min, x_max, y_min, y_max = rect.xy_bounds !intersects_rows?(x_min, x_max, y_min, y_max) && !intersects_cols?(x_min, x_max, y_min, y_max) end def intersects_cols?(x_min, x_max, y_min, y_max) col_spans.any? do |x, (c_min, c_max)| next false unless x > x_min && x < x_max c_max > y_min && c_min < y_max end end def intersects_rows?(x_min, x_max, y_min, y_max) row_spans.any? do |y, (r_min, r_max)| next false unless y > y_min && y < y_max r_max > x_min && r_min < x_max end end memoize def row_spans = corners.group_by(&:y).transform_values { |cs| cs.map(&:x).minmax } memoize def col_spans = corners.group_by(&:x).transform_values { |cs| cs.map(&:y).minmax } end$
