Report of gems whose names differ only in case on rubygems.org

Gems whose names differ only in case

Report generated at 2026-07-25 12:56:36 -0700.

178 name collisions covering 356 distinct gems, out of 195399 on RubyGems.org.

These are separate gems that fold to the same name, so any tool storing one gem per file on a case-insensitive filesystem (macOS APFS, Windows) will have them overwrite each other.

Newest release among any colliding gem: 2026-07-20 — several of these gems are still actively maintained.

veganstraightedge / pascals_triangle.rb
Last active July 30, 2025 07:03
After watching a couple Numberphile videos on YouTube about Catalan Numbers and Pascal's Triangle, I wrote a Pascal's Triangle implementation in Ruby as a fun little exercise. https://youtu.be/fczN0BCx0xs https://youtu.be/0iMtlus-afo
def pascals_triangle total_rows=3, start_value=1
rows = []
(total_rows + 1).times do |current_row|
if current_row == 1
rows << [nil, start_value]
next
end
row = [nil]

Last active November 18, 2023 05:56
REQUIRES `imagemagick` installed. ONLY TESTED ON MY LAPTOP. BUYER BEWARE! Export four individual image files from one source image file. (Source is one big file from entire flatbed scanner or four Polaroids. Each individual Polaroid gets exported to its own file.)
source_files = ARGV[0]
# optional file type args
# passed in like: ruby crop.rb path/to/files source_extension export_extension
# ruby crop.rb path/to/files heic png
source_extension_arg = ARGV[1]
export_extension_arg = ARGV[2]
# both extensions default to heic if not passed in
SOURCE_EXTENSION = source_extension_arg.nil? ? "heic" : source_extension_arg

Created November 4, 2021 17:26
If you can't use Dependabot (or something like it) for some reasons, you can be a DependaHuman by running this script in two parts. First copy/paste line 11 to your Terminal. Then copy that output from the Terminal into the bottom of this script under that `__END__` and run the script.
# Command to run:
# bundle outdated --parseable
# OR:
# bundle outdated --strict --parseable
# OR:
# bundle outdated --strict --parseable --filter-patch;
# bundle outdated --strict --parseable --filter-minor;
# bundle outdated --strict --parseable --filter-major;
# OR as one line:

veganstraightedge / rails_date_select_bootstrap.html.erb
Created October 24, 2021 00:24
This is how I use a date_select or datetime_select helper in a Rails ERB view with Bootstrap classes, so it looks Bootstrappy but also all on one line.
<div class='mb-3'>
<%= form.label :birthday, class: 'form-label' %>
<div>
<%= form.date_select :birthday,
{
prompt: true,
add_month_numbers: true,
end_year: Time.now.year - 111,
start_year: Time.now.year - 12,

StandardRB and I think different things are better. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

TO MY EYES, the first is worse than the second.
