What's wrong with the JSON gem API?

news.ycombinator.com Byroot'S Blog 2025-12-12 10:46:38

As I mentioned at the start of my Optimizing Ruby’s JSON series of posts, performance isn’t why I candidated to be the new gem’s maintainer. The actual reason is that the gem has many APIs that I think aren’t very good, and some that are outright dangerous. As a gem user, it’s easy to be annoyed at deprecations and breaking changes. It’s noisy and creates extra work, so I entirely understand that people may suffer from deprecation fatigue. But while it occasionally happens to run into mostly c

Apple has updated every Home Screen app icon in iOS 26. As of beta 5, AirDrop has undergone the same redesign for its icon in the share sheet. The previous version consisted of a blue dot within three blue semi-circles on a white background. The new version uses blue as the primary icon color, using layers of the opaque glass-like material to show the radar effect around a much more physical looking blip.

On today’s developer beta release of macOS Tahoe 26, Apple replaced the old Macintosh HD icon, which depicted an actual hard disk drive, with a new SSD-looking icon. Here’s what it looks like.

But with today’s beta release, the old Macintosh HD icon has been replaced with a sleeker aluminum-looking enclosure with rounded edge
