What Really Happened at #inspect 2013

For those who couldn't make it to Brussels, here's what you missed.

Dispassionate objectivity

From my experience, great conferences have one thing in common -- debates during, in-between and after talks. #inspect 2013 was no different.

Most speakers had opinions on snake_case vs camelCase. I overheard arguments both for and against Teacup at lunch. Colleagues from around the globe weighed in on the benefits of wrappers and the pitfalls of additional dependencies. Even the venue for #inspect 2014 sparked a catch phrase -- "Tan or tech, Cancun or New York".

The @dhh Drinking Game

Take a drink whenever @dhh:

1. Drops the f-bomb (or says "shit")
2. Makes fun of Java (or Struts, Hibernate, etc)
3. Mentions "frameworks should be extractions, not inventions"
4. Mentions "constraints are liberating"
5. Defends TurboLinks or the asset pipeline
6. Mentions Basecamp

// SymSpell: 1000x faster through Symmetric Delete spelling correction algorithm
//
// The Symmetric Delete spelling correction algorithm reduces the complexity of edit candidate generation and dictionary lookup 
// for a given Damerau-Levenshtein distance. It is three orders of magnitude faster and language independent.
// Opposite to other algorithms only deletes are required, no transposes + replaces + inserts.
// Transposes + replaces + inserts of the input term are transformed into deletes of the dictionary term.
// Replaces and inserts are expensive and language dependent: e.g. Chinese has 70,000 Unicode Han characters!
