Pry snippets
Instructions:
In sublime, in the menu find Preferences => Settings - User.
This will open a file, and while this is not the file we want, it is in the correct directory.
NOTE: Please be careful to follow these in the correct order, rather than risk overwriting your user settings!
Do File -> Save As, and resave the file as Pry.sublime-snippet
Delete the content and paste the first file below in that file, and save.

Wrote a simple Javascript / Node.js testing framework on the train so that I could dojo.
// TODO: Would love VERBOSE to be given via environment var
// TODO: Should probably have assertIdentity (===) too. Trivial to add.
// TODO: I would like passing tests to appear as full-stops on one line in quiet mode.
var VERBOSE = true;

undecided / nil-array.rb

Answer to the question: how to initialise a multi-dimensional array, filled with nils, in ruby?
# My answer at the time was to do something like this
[[nil]*3]*4
#=> [[nil, nil, nil], [nil, nil, nil], [nil, nil, nil], [nil, nil, nil]]
# The next question was whether I knew some initializer to do that for us.
# Apparently, there is:
Array.new(4) { Array.new(3) }
#=> [[nil, nil, nil], [nil, nil, nil], [nil, nil, nil], [nil, nil, nil]]
# But that wasn't the brainwave my brain came up with just now.
def a(p)
p.call()
raise "The world is safe"
end
def b
x = Proc.new { return Proc.new { return false } }
a(x).call
raise 'Maybe here, we might save the world. Let us do that.'
end
