[ruby-talk:444405] Montreal.rb Jan 2024 Building an AI Medical Scribe in Ruby
by Andy Maleh 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '24

The video of the Jan 2024 Montreal.rb Ruby Meetup A.I. talk "Building an AI Medical Scribe in Ruby" by Jean-Sebastien Boulanger (CTO of Circle Medical) has been posted. Description: "In this talk, I'll share insights from our experience creating an AI medical scribe using Ruby at Circle Medical, a hybrid primary care provider seeing over 50,000 patients monthly. We leveraged Large Language Models (LLMs) to create a scribe to enhance clinical documentation and save doctors' time." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJwILlX0svw&list=PLRAf4zt5oEjc2mqmEN9m_O0Jo…

[ruby-talk:444404] [ANN] minitest 5.21.2 Released
by Ryan Davis 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '24

minitest version 5.21.2 has been released! * home: <https://github.com/minitest/minitest> * bugs: <https://github.com/minitest/minitest/issues> * rdoc: <https://docs.seattlerb.org/minitest> * clog: <https://github.com/minitest/minitest/blob/master/History.rdoc> * vim: <https://github.com/sunaku/vim-ruby-minitest> * emacs: <https://github.com/arthurnn/minitest-emacs> minitest provides a complete suite of testing facilities supporting TDD, BDD, mocking, and benchmarking. "I had a class with Jim Weirich on testing last week and we were allowed to choose our testing frameworks. Kirk Haines and I were paired up and we cracked open the code for a few test frameworks... I MUST say that minitest is *very* readable / understandable compared to the 'other two' options we looked at. Nicely done and thank you for helping us keep our mental sanity." -- Wayne E. Seguin minitest/test is a small and incredibly fast unit testing framework. It provides a rich set of assertions to make your tests clean and readable. minitest/spec is a functionally complete spec engine. It hooks onto minitest/test and seamlessly bridges test assertions over to spec expectations. minitest/benchmark is an awesome way to assert the performance of your algorithms in a repeatable manner. Now you can assert that your newb co-worker doesn't replace your linear algorithm with an exponential one! minitest/mock by Steven Baker, is a beautifully tiny mock (and stub) object framework. minitest/pride shows pride in testing and adds coloring to your test output. I guess it is an example of how to write IO pipes too. :P minitest/test is meant to have a clean implementation for language implementors that need a minimal set of methods to bootstrap a working test suite. For example, there is no magic involved for test-case discovery. "Again, I can't praise enough the idea of a testing/specing framework that I can actually read in full in one sitting!" -- Piotr Szotkowski Comparing to rspec: rspec is a testing DSL. minitest is ruby. -- Adam Hawkins, "Bow Before MiniTest" minitest doesn't reinvent anything that ruby already provides, like: classes, modules, inheritance, methods. This means you only have to learn ruby to use minitest and all of your regular OO practices like extract-method refactorings still apply. Changes: ### 5.21.2 / 2024-01-17 * 1 bug fix: * Fixed bug in Minitest::Compress#compress formatting w/ nested patterns. Now recurses properly.

[ruby-talk:444403] [ANN] ruby_parser 3.21.0 Released
by Ryan Davis 16 Jan '24

16 Jan '24

ruby_parser version 3.21.0 has been released! * home: <https://github.com/seattlerb/ruby_parser> * bugs: <https://github.com/seattlerb/ruby_parser/issues> * rdoc: <http://docs.seattlerb.org/ruby_parser> ruby_parser (RP) is a ruby parser written in pure ruby (utilizing racc--which does by default use a C extension). It outputs s-expressions which can be manipulated and converted back to ruby via the ruby2ruby gem. As an example: def conditional1 arg1 return 1 if arg1 == 0 return 0 end becomes: s(:defn, :conditional1, s(:args, :arg1), s(:if, s(:call, s(:lvar, :arg1), :==, s(:lit, 0)), s(:return, s(:lit, 1)), nil), s(:return, s(:lit, 0))) Tested against 801,039 files from the latest of all rubygems (as of 2013-05): * 1.8 parser is at 99.9739% accuracy, 3.651 sigma * 1.9 parser is at 99.9940% accuracy, 4.013 sigma * 2.0 parser is at 99.9939% accuracy, 4.008 sigma * 2.6 parser is at 99.9972% accuracy, 4.191 sigma * 3.0 parser has a 100% parse rate. * Tested against 2,672,412 unique ruby files across 167k gems. * As do all the others now, basically. Changes: ### 3.21.0 / 2024-01-15 * 18 minor enhancements: * (internal) Added simple RubyLexer#comment. * (internal) Removed RubyLexer#comments and #ignore_body_comments. * (internal) Removed RubyParser#comments. * (internal) Renamed files from lib/ruby##_parser.* to lib/ruby_parser##.* * (internal) Renamed lib/ruby3_parser.yy to lib/ruby_parser3.yy * (internal) Renamed lib/ruby_parser.yy to lib/ruby_parser2.yy * Added tentative 3.2 support. (torrocus) * Made `rake compare` a multitask (28s -> 10s!!). * Made `rake compare` depend on `generate` (from clean: 28s -> 18s). * No longer package versioned .y files. * Overhaul of parser/lexer comment processing. * Parser productions for k_class/k_module/k_def carry their comment with them. * Restructured build tasks to utilize Hoe's .yy support! 8.5s -> 1.2s!!! * RubyParser new_(class|module|defn|defs) handle comment processing via sexp. * RubyParser new_(class|module|defn|defs) handle normalizing production sexps. * RubyParser#next_token clears out lexer's comment when applicable. * Simplified parser productions for defn_head, defs_head. No more normalizing. * Updated `rake compare` steps for lrama in ruby 3.3+. * 6 bug fixes: * Cleaned out cruft from `rake compare` code. * Fixed compare/normalize.rb for lrama differences. * Made `parser` task depend on `isolate` task to pick up racc generator. * Made racc a runtime dependency (was dev only) now that ruby 3.3 doesn't ship with the racc runtime. (wildmaples) * Updated README.rdoc updating instructions to match current filenames. * Updated compare versions and added 3.3.

[ruby-talk:444401] [ANN] wxRuby3 0.9.5 release
by martin＠corino.nl 15 Jan '24

15 Jan '24

This release fixes a very annoying restriction for doxygen and improves and extends Wx::ComboCtrl support. wxRuby3 is a cross-platform GUI library for Ruby, based on the mature wxWidgets GUI toolkit for C++. It uses native widgets wherever possible, providing the correct look, feel and behavior to GUI applications on Windows, OS X and Linux/GTK. wxRuby aims to provide a comprehensive solution to developing professional-standard desktop applications in Ruby. wxRuby3 also provides extensive and complete reference documentation. What's changed in this release: - the (very annoying) restriction on more recent doxygen versions has been removed (thanks go to the wxPython Phoenix team for working this out); it is now possible to build using the most recent versions of doxygen (this should make it possible to build on any recent Linux distribution without problems) - improve and extend support for Wx::ComboCtrl and user defined popup controls and update documentation - add regression tests If you are interested check this out: Documentation: https://mcorino.github.io/wxRuby3/index.html Github: https://github.com/mcorino/wxruby3 Rubygems: https://rubygems.org/gems/wxruby3

[ruby-talk:444394] Glimmer Goes Web!!!
by Andy Maleh 12 Jan '24

12 Jan '24

Last September, I gave a talk titled "Intro To Ruby in the Browser" about how to use Ruby for Frontend Development in Rails as a complete replacement for JavaScript as per Matz's RubyConf 2022 Keynote Speech. I concluded the talk by mentioning a then up and coming project called Glimmer DSL for Web that would make Ruby in the Browser the simplest, most intuitive, most straight-forward, and most productive Software Engineering experience in Frontend Development in any Programming Language or Technology. Well, The future is now! Glimmer DSL for Web (Ruby in the Browser Web GUI Frontend Library) just had its 0.2.2 Beta Release!
