I don’t.

(And yes I do know the Symbol#to_proc trick!)

What am I missing?

Yeah, my bad. But have you heard of a Tanuki? It is a “Raccoon Dog”

Tom Robbins would probably like that.

== UPDATE

The Tanuki has been added! Check it out:

The first 6 should be the new shirts. The ones with the tanuki on the
front by itself have text on the back.

If ya’ll have any more requests, fire away. I’ll work on an origami
one tomorrow or sometime this week.

I know the t-shirt I want is something Ruby-ish with a Thank You Matz
on it (to wear to RubyConf :-). Of course being design illiterate I
will wait around for someone else to create it for me.

Hey, great shirts, Matt! There are some awesome ideas in there :-).

IMHO, I don’t think the sexy one is a good way to go…

If Ruby is to be represented in any human form, I’d really love to see
it as Ruby-chan, in a non-sexual manner.

I would be happy to adapt one of my Ruby-chan sketches to something
suitable for a T-shirt design if there is any interest in this:

I don’t know about anyone else, but I was hoping for some over-sized
testicles kinda like this guy:

Not that I would really wear it, I just wanted a laugh :slight_smile:

Here are a few notable designs:

  • I Ruby (et al)
  • A few region-based designs (“Atlanta Rubyist”, etc)
  • Quotes (from _Why The Lucky Stiff, etc)
  • A few “Pragmatic” shirts
  • Code snippets

I see
(1…10).collect {|x| xx}
This woud be better:
(1…10).map {|x| xx}

The name “collect” tends to make one assume that it does
what inject does. On the other hand, “map” describes what
it does; it produces a one-to-one mapping.

Furthermore, “collect” in Common Lisp does something
different. OCaml and most if not all Lisp dialects use “map”
as it is used in Ruby.

And “collect” is longer. To me, it seems senseless to use it.

I’ll work on it. :wink:

On the other hand collect is an old friend to old Smalltalker’s like me.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll make sure to add the #map version as
well. That way both camps will be happy. :slight_smile: (And you’re right, it’s
shorter, which is great for shirts.)

Honestly, I’d not realized #map and #collect to be aliased until just
days ago (after I made the shirt) when I was looking for something
else entirely. :slight_smile:

Also, if you have any other neat snippets, share them and I’ll try to
make a shirt out of them.

There you go! Now you have some (1…10).map action going on! The
spacing is different, unfortunately, but I did it quickly.

I also added some 10.method(:+).call(5) shirts :slight_smile:

While I can appreciate the method to proc oddness, I think expressions
that actual go some where are more fun (quickly contrived):

[7,8,-1,10].inject(“”){|a,b|a+=((b+51)*2+~b[0]).chr}
[19,7,26,32].inject(“”) {|a,b| a+=(90+b).chr}
[0,24,9,26].inject(“”) { |b,c| b += (c+95).chr }

I am sure the real golfers can do better, I was just goofing around…

[0,24,9,26].inject(“”) { |b,c| b += (c+95).chr }

Better to change those to
… {|a, b| a+…}

no need for the +=

That got me thinking of “R” expressions. Maybe
one like this:

 REAL...
 RADICAL...

 RUBY!

I dunno. Just sort of thinking out loud.
There might some other good R words lurking about.
:_)

i would like to see a “Real men use Ruby”
or maybe even a “Java is for wimps, I use Ruby”
that might be shirts i would actually wear :wink:

Swallow this, it will make you feel better.
“You’ve got a disease that there is no known cure for. We have run the
appropriate tests and found alarming conclusions. This is a very
troubling
circumstance. But what is more troubling is how you developed this
condition. It seems that due to constant exposure to the dangerous
realities
around you, this extremely rare virus has infected you. I am afraid
there is
no known cure. On top of this, the disease is extremely contagious as
well.”
Perplexed as usual, I had to ask, “What is the disease?” The answer: “An
unyeilding hunger for the truth, a passion for the people around you,
and
sorrow for those who still lie in darkness. To put it plainly, you have
a
heart. We must amputate immediately.”

–Andrew Schwab (Taken from the book “We Caught You Plotting Murder”)

Ruby Is Righteous

(The 80’s kind or the holy kind… your pick!)

Anyhow, I was definitely inspired by the little ‘nonce’ conversation
to make some more t-shirt designs. Check out the ‘tokui kurasu’
(singleton class Japanese pseudo-translation), ‘pro singleton’/‘anti
singleton’, and ‘got class’/‘got klass?’ shirts!

Enjoy!

Well, I did go back and make a new design that had a Tanuki (Japanese
raccoon-dog)… so you might be looking at the new ones (I took the
panda shirt off).

Good move, that. And the Tanuki really looks good.

In regards to the panda: as you can imagine, it was never my intent to
cause offense. You’re right, pandas come from China, and it just
doesn’t make sense. I still like the design though. :stuck_out_tongue:

I thought it was a racoon.
