There’s a GoFundMe link at the bottom of the news story, so you know it’s legit, but here it is also: gofundme.com/f/bffdt4-suppo… If you can help, please consider it. They are facing a mountain of bills and a lifetime of hurt.

Close family of mine's car was hit by someone fleeing the police, who T-boned them, flipping the car into a ditch, where it burst into flames with everyone inside. They lost their 2 month-old baby & their 3 year-old is now in the hospital with burns over 60% of his body.

Their dad also suffered a fractured spine, lacerated spleen, broken ribs, and burns. 2 police officers were also injured. Here’s a local news story about it: fox59.com/news/indynews/…

@usmcamgrimm There are some methods in this file where you pass a `language_name` argument, so if you put in a string, it can be accessed as a string, and if you put in a symbol, you can access it as a symbol, but not interchangeably. So I'm not quite sure what you mean.

I'm still confused as to why I don't need to use symbols when adding key/value pairs to nested hashes or when I'm returning the value for a key in a nested hash. I did some reading and Ruby dies it automatically but I don't get WHY

@usmcamgrimm language_name in that example is a “bareword”, which is probably a local variable (but could be a method) not a string. It might be returning a symbol. Which exercise is it?

@unixmonkey I'm not using Rails though. I'm going through the Ruby exercises in the Odin Project. All the examples show this: languages[:language_name] but the tests don't pass unless you do this: languages[language_name]

iOS friends: what chill puzzle games do you play on your phone? I’ve been playing Two Dots but they’re overdoing it with ads now with no way to pay to remove them so I’m looking for something else.

Young people don't know how to use file systems anymore. No one under 25 even recognizes something like this

Do I have any Ruby friends out there that might be looking for a new opportunity? I’ve been a team of one since the beginning of my company (over 10 years!) but am finally ready to grow. We have two mature Rails apps running the latest versions of Rails and Ruby, and I’ve begun to sprinkle in a bit of Turbo/Hotwire for good measure. I’m looking for an enthusiastic self starter who’s not afraid to roll up their sleeves and ship 🚢 I’ve never ran or been on a dev team before so my biggest ask would be for your patience and guidance to help me make an environment where you can do your best work. You’d be working shoulder to shoulder with me, and you’d ideally get to the point where you’ll have a sense of freedom and ownership over our apps much in the same way that I do. Please DM me if interested!

I kinda want to write a book about a zombie apocalypse, but the apocalypse peters out after a week and most of the book is about the characters having to come to grips with the awful things they did when they thought the world had ended.

@jnunemaker I’m a big fan of BrainWave. Been using it for many years. It has preset binaural tone & white noise generators that can be masked by music. Supposedly influences mood unconsciously: apps.apple.com/us/app/brainwa…

The most important thing for me to get "in the zone" programming is noise cancelling head phones + non-sad music I've listened to so much I don't notice it. Ke$ha. Girl talk. Selena Gomez. Kelsea Ballerina. Dierks Bentley. Lately... Bridgerton 🤣. How do you get in the zone?

@_swanson You can also use dotted string keys to scope filter params, which can be handy if you have params that share a name, but only some are filtered; and you can also use a proc to only partially filter or obscure a value.

Turn sensitive log data in your Rails app into █████ Out of the box, Rails will redact out sensitive parameters like passwords, secrets, api tokens

@trendoid It has RSS feeds embedded in that page, but they don't actually work. I opened a ticket with them over it at some point. We only know there's a problem when people start complaining, but maybe I should be scraping it hourly or something :/

@_swanson Actually adding to Date::DATE_FORMATS does work if you use the proc form. I like this because it makes things simpler at the call site:

@_swanson Use separate date formats for both versions. This is the kind of thing I've had to detangle during internationalization efforts. In some localizations, the year comes before the date. Adding to DATE_FORMATS also works, but those don't change when switching languages.

🏌️‍♂️ Friday code golf: can you make this any cleaner? Display a nicely formatted date with the year, but drop the year if it is the current year (e.g. "September 1", "August 15, 2022", "March 1, 2030")
