In Ruby, chat = RubyLLM.chat is a method call since Ruby doesn't have properties, only methods. Dropping parentheses is standard Ruby style, familiar to Ruby developers. While adding parentheses is allowed, it doesn't match Ruby's readability. The library aims for a clean style consistent with Ruby conventions.
Glad it wasn't just me. I found them challenging to grok due to their complexity and lack of clarity in key aspects such as movement, grid layout, and strategic objectives.
*The fact that the pencil symbol controls the number of moves per turns, which was 3 by default, confused my learning process for a good 10 minutes as I had no idea what was going on.
Yep, after dealing with all the frustration of "high efficiency" washing machines that would constantly have error codes mid cycle, not wash clothes well, etc. I ended up paying more for a Speed Queen. It uses traditional technology without complex electronics that ensures simplicity, longevity, and ease of use.
While it's tempting to see free will as self-evident, scientific evidence suggests that our actions are determined by a complex interplay of genetics, environment, and prior experiences. Dismissing this perspective as edgy or hubristic risks ignoring important insights into human behavior. Recognizing the absence of free will can foster empathy and compassion, as we become more aware of the factors that contribute to human choices and behaviors.

for me personally, this is a "soft free will" distinction, i.e. we have true free will, but we're very unlikely to actually use it. the other one is the question of "hard free will", i.e. whether "god plays dice" and the fully deterministic universe.
As a longtime pocketknife enthusiast one search criteria I would love to see is a way to filter by rear flipper, thumbstud or thumb hole opener. I spent an hour last week trying to find a Kershaw that doesn't have a rear flipper tab as they tend to open in my pocket. It seems like almost all their models lately have rear flipper tabs but I would prefer a thumbstud.
I can't remember seeing problems be more strongly worded than "Increased Error Rates" or "high error rates with S3 in us-east-1" during the infamous S3 outage of 2017 - and that was after they struggled to even update their own status page because of S3 being down. :)
During the Facebook outage FB wrote something along the lines of "We noticed that some users are experiencing issues with our apps" eventhough nothing worked anymore
Some of the larger website builders/hosting , e.g. Wix don’t even give you access to server logs.
Sure you can setup and run your own site and CMS easily enough, but running even hourly bulk log ingestion is usually not as straight forward and the information you can derive is very limited comparative to js based tracking.
Matamo ( formerly Piwik) is decent but still takes some time to setup and get right.
The main thing that the analytics tells you if you are promoting anything, is which of those promotions is actually working and driving visitors to your site.

I don't think it's unreasonable to require them to provide you some sort in insight into your traffic data in that case.
You can to promotion tracking with just log parsing, depending on how your system is built. There's a large number of sites that handle that by simply having unique URL for each promotional partner.
