Prism in 2024
In Ruby 3.3.0, a new standard library was added to CRuby called Prism. Prism is a parser for the Ruby language, exposed as both a C library (optionally usable by CRuby) and a Ruby library (usable as a Ruby gem). The Prism project represents many person-years worth of effort, and is the result of a collaboration between Shopify, CRuby core contributors, other Ruby implementation authors, and Ruby tooling developers.

Pope apologizes for Vatican's role in legitimizing slavery
Pope Leo XIV has made a historic apology for the role the Holy See played in legitimizing slavery. Leo’s own family history includes both enslaved people and slave owners. He delivered the apology in his first encyclical “Magnifica Humanitas” or Magnificent Humanity which was released on Monday. Past popes have apologized for Christians’ involvement in the trans-Atlantic slave trade. But no pope has ever publicly acknowledged much less apologized for the role that past popes played in g…

Abstract: When non-melanoma skin cancers extend over large areas of skin, effective radiotherapy treatments can be delivered using volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) beams with narrow segments that rotate around the affected surfaces. For lower-limb carcinoma treatments, careful immobilisation is needed to achieve the degree of reproducible and stable positioning required to ensure the narrow field segments treat the targeted tissue and avoid underlying anatomy. To meet this need, a 3D printed patient-specific foot support was created in the form of a solid box containing a deep ``footprint'', shaped to match the outline of the patient's relaxed foot when lying supine, supported by a vacuum bag. For our first patient treated with a 3D printed foot support, image guidance data and clinical notes were evaluated against corresponding information from all recent lower-leg VMAT treatments. The patient feedback was recorded as ``good'', with no complaints of discomfort or poor fit, and the proportion of treatment fractions requiring shifts greater than 5 mm after setup imaging (20\%) compared favourably to the proportions for patients without a patient-specific foot support (23\%-84\%). The patient-specific foot support was particularly useful for minimising longitudinal shifts and leg rotations. Evidently, 3D-printed patient-specific immobilisation devices have the potential to enhance positioning stability, and therefore potentially improve accuracy and effectiveness of VMAT treatments, for patients with extensive lower-limb carcinomas.
