Clean up the bloated Backblaze bzfileids.dat

Place in /Library/Backblaze.bzpkg/bzdata/bzbackup, and run with:

ruby purge_nonexistent.rb

It will process bzfileids.dat placing any file that exists in bzfileids.dat-found and any missing file in bzfileids.dat-missing. You can then back up your original file and replace it with bzfileids.dat-found.

My original file was almost 1.4GB. It had grown so large that the backup would cause all my fans spin and it never seemed to complete. Backblaze support suggested I delete my entire backup with them and start over. After running this script, my new bzfileids.dat file is 301MB. Still huge, but about 1/5th the size. The backup seemed to go much more smoothly.

When should you use DateTime and when should you use Time?

When should you use DateTime and when should you use Time?

It's a common misconception that [William Shakespeare][1] and [Miguel de Cervantes][2] died on the same day in history - so much so that UNESCO named April 23 as [World Book Day because of this fact][3]. However because England hadn't yet adopted [Gregorian Calendar Reform][4] (and wouldn't until [1752][5]) their deaths are actually 10 days apart. Since Ruby's Time class implements a [proleptic Gregorian calendar][6] and has no concept of calendar reform then there's no way to express this. This is where DateTime steps in:

>> shakespeare = DateTime.iso8601('1616-04-23', Date::ENGLAND)
=> Tue, 23 Apr 1616 00:00:00 +0000
>> cervantes = DateTime.iso8601('1616-04-23', Date::ITALY)
=> Sat, 23 Apr 1616 00:00:00 +0000

answer @nuttycom

What is the appeal of dynamically-typed languages?

Kris Nuttycombe asks:

I genuinely wish I understood the appeal of unityped languages better. Can someone who really knows both well-typed and unityped explain?

I think the terms well-typed and unityped are a bit of question-begging here (you might as well say good-typed versus bad-typed), so instead I will say statically-typed and dynamically-typed.

I'm going to approach this article using Scala to stand-in for static typing and Python for dynamic typing. I feel like I am credibly proficient both languages: I don't currently write a lot of Python, but I still have affection for the language, and have probably written hundreds of thousands of lines of Python code over the years.
