Re: Ilyen nincs: Balog Zoltán szerint kitűnő a magyar egészségügy és csak a média kelti a hangulatot (+videó!)

Egész pontosan hol mondta azt hogy "kitűnő a magyar egészségügy"? ha jól hallottam pont egy ezeroldalas tanulmányról beszélt ami "kendőzetlenül feltárja a helyetet" - most mindegy hogy ez mennyire volt kendőzetlen, lényeg hogy itt egyáltalán nem istenitette az eüt. Ergo ez a cikk is csak egy hisztériakeltő álhir.

Re: How to get WebEx running on an Ubuntu smoothly

One -possibly easier- alternative is via Docker, just pull one of the several "webex" images: https://hub.docker.com/sear... . I used mbessler/ff32-webex and it worked fine. Much less painful then getting deep into dependency hell (I tried to install ffox-esr :i386 but all I got there is dozen broken pkgs)

Re: BlackBerry’s Back alright: How to get the BlackBerry KEYone in Ireland

Sorry for the late reply. I love(d) the phone, almost exactly what I had been waiting for 10 years...well.. except for the "screen lift defect" which I was hit by https://forums.crackberry.c.... Unfortunately this is a well known issue now, probably only hitting the first batch - should be fixed now: https://crackberry.com/blac... . I've sent my phone back to Selfridges- again no hassle at all all (DHL return was pre-paid by them and they acknoledged receipt) - except that I hear it may take several weeks now to get a replacemenent :( I hope they will be as helpful and quick(!) as they have been - as I had to go back to an iPhone 5s which (as any touch-screen-only phone) which is a huge downgrade for me.
BTW it's back on stock at Selfridges: http://www.selfridges.com/I... - hopefully with screen glue fixed.
Also, thanks for the Visualping hint - it seems super useful. I will definitely use it when the next decent PKB phone is released:)

Sajnos tegnap este megtapasztaltam, hogy nem műbalhé (mindenféle hajlitgatás nélkül, egy telefonfelvételkor kiesett a kijelző) - lehet hogy nem kellett volna türelmetlenkedve az UK bemutatás napján megvennem az utolsó darabot.. ha igaz, a Közép-Európába mostanában érkézett példányok már javitja vannak. Ha valaki tudja, Magyarországon hogy lehet kezdeményezni a cseret Angliaban vásárolt KeyOne-re, szivesen vennék tippeket.

Recieved one today from Selfridges.com I ordered on Friday. Was no hassle at all - except that seemed to have been the last one on stock ( http://www.selfridges.com/G... . Oh and price was lower than expected: 585EUR with shipping

Re: No, you don't actually want a BlackBerry KEYone – you just think you do

Gannny — Thu, 27 Apr 2017 10:43:28 -0000

No, you don't actually know what *I* want and why, you just think you do .. and most phone manufacturers obviously haven't - until now. I suggest people in the industry to actually listen to customers, not just try to manipulate them and calling them retards just because they are convinced typing on a -good- keyboard is better than fiddling with dumb touchscreens.

Agreeing with everything you said there. Well done in articulating the point.

Just entered the brave new world of homemade hummus and after so many canned ones I'm pleased with the results, also with how easy/quick it is. Thank a million for the upgrade! and also for cutting down my hummus expenses:)

Yeah, the grammar needs a bit more polish, and everyone will be content.

Re: Ruby Best Practices - Structs inside out

Thanks for the advice. I knew that Struct can be subclassed, but a Struct cannot subclass/extend another struct (or anything else), can it?

BTW, do you know any libraries that help define the (fake)keyword argument in a easy&powerful way?
I'm thinking about writing something like this-just don't want to reinvent the wheel:
ANON_OPTIONS=define_hash_argument {
required :email, :age
optional :address, :phone, :lang=> 'klingon'
validate :age {|x| x > 12 }
}
FULL_OPTIONS=define_hash_argument(ANON_OPTIONS) {
require :password
optional :homepage, :lang=>'latin', :food=>'spam''
}
def browse url,opts=nil
options = ANON_OPTIONS.new(opts)
puts "Hi #{options.user}"
....
end
def create_message url, message, opts=nil
options = FULL_OPTIONS.new(opts)
...
end

About Rdoc, thanks for confirming that. I just sent a patch to the rdoc list.
After doing that, I realised that Object.instance_methods maybe worth updating too...(although that doesn't explicitly mention String, just "Returns an array of instance variable names")

Re: Ruby Best Practices - Structs inside out

Great, thanks for that.
Originally I meant something that's built in - but this is a straightforward enough extension.
It also seems possible to extend this pattern for default value handling, and validation.. but I'm also considering inheritance(so as to define a generic set of options than extend/customise it for other use cases). I guess for these, I'd better use real classes (maybe topped by some metaprogramming sugar).

BTW, your Point example doesn't seem to work on ruby 1.8.7, members are represented as strings. Using h[m.to_sym] fixes it.
On 1.9.1 it works out of the box.
Struct.new(:a).members[0].class == Symbol #1.9
Struct.new(:a).members[0].class == String #1.8
Is this a known/documented difference?

Cheers,Gergo

Excellent article, thanks.

Is there an easy way to initialise a Struct instance with a Hash of key-value pairs ? (similar to OpenStruct)

I wanted to use that for implementing the fake keyword-argument in methods using a hash as a last argument.
For those, I usually need validation and default values, so I thought something like a Struct would come handy. (as opposed to Hash and OpenStruct which dynamically grow, so you need extra stuff to implement these)
Did I miss something?
