The History of Ruby
* Only the releases of the stable versions are listed in principle. The releases of the unstable versions especially considered to be important are indicated as "not stable."
* The branches used as the source of each releases are specified, and the branching timing of them are also shown. BTW, before subversionizing of the repository, the term called "trunk" was not used, but this list uses it in order to avoid confusion.
* In order to show a historical backdrop, big conferences (RubyKaigi, RubyConf and Euruko) are also listed. About the venues of such conferences, general English notations are adopted, in my hope.
* ruby_1_8_7 branch was recut from v1_8_7 tag after the 1.8.7 release because of an accident.
* 1.2.1 release was canceled once, and the 2nd release called "repack" was performed. Although there were other examples similar to this, since the re-releases were performed during the same day, it does not write clearly in particular.
* Since 1.0 was released with the date in large quantities, the mi

Remove metadata from a PDF file, using exiftool and qpdf. Note that embedded objects may still contain metadata.

PDF metadata

Metadata in PDF files can be stored in at least two places:

  • the Info Dictionary, a limited set of key/value pairs
  • XMP packets, which contain RDF statements expressed as XML

Last active December 23, 2015 09:49
Two implementations of a Design by Contract Cache interface. Parametric Polymorphism is more flexible than subtype polymorphism.
case class GenericCache[A[_,_], B, C](instance: A[B,C], getf: B=>C, putf: (B,C)=>Unit) {
def retrieve(b: B) = getf(b)
def insert(b: B, c: C) = putf(b,c)
}
//Notice how neither cache implementations have to even be aware of the existnace of the typeclass. much more flexible than inheritance
class FastCache[A,B] {
private var m = Map[A,B]() //excuse mutability for illustration purposes
def add(a: A, b: B): Unit = {
m = m + (a->b)
