Some simple primitives for event-based discrete event simulation.

This library provides several ways of describing a finite Markov Decision Process (MDP) model (see FiniteMDP::Model) and some reasonably efficient implementations of policy iteration and value iteration to solve it (see FiniteMDP::Solver).

An OmniAuth Strategy for the figshare API. You can use it to authenticate users against the figshare API in your ruby on rails / sinatra / other rack-based web application.

Compare compression algorithms (gzip, bzip2, xz, etc.) for a sample of documents.

Includes solvers for continuous and discrete multivariate optimisation problems.

A small embedded DSL for implementing stateful protocols in EventMachine using finite state machines.

Runs a small number of setup tasks, followed by a bunch of expensive tasks in parallel. This manages the number of running tasks and keeps the visible output to a small and useful amount. It was created to make developer pre-commit builds really fast, but still able to cover a lot of...

Store key-value pairs in file names, e.g. parameter names and parameters.

The gem push command makes it incredibly easy to publish your gems... maybe a little too easy. PushSafety is a RubyGems plugin that refuses to push a gem unless it is on a whitelist. Add your open source gems to your whitelist, and keep your private gems safe from accidental pushes.
