Actor Burns Out Preparing for 'Doing Nothing' Role

His 8-hour unblinking scene was method acting's final boss.

Following up on my previous post https://mastodon.social/@yegorov/116594842832339445 (where I showed how to set default values in Ruby methods), it turns out you can write not just a single expression on the right side, but an entire block of code inside a begin-end construct.

#Ruby #Method #Default #Arguments #KeywordArguments #BeginEnd

Just Tasting 2
Just be with the taste and the things that enable you to taste.

#mindfulness #method #food

Just Tasting
Just be with the taste and the reaction in your body and mind.

#mindfulness #method #food

Just Doing
Just do one thing at a time.

(For example, when you eat, just eat. When you think, just think. The same goes for other tasks.)

#daily #life #mindfulness #method

If you work with Ruby, you should know that arguments in methods can be set to a default value, for example:
```
def perform(arg: "d")
# .
end
```

But did you know that you can use instance variables as default values, like this:
```
class MyCls
def initialize(arg); @arg = arg; end
def perform(arg = @arg); end
end
```

Or other arguments of this method:
```
module MyMod
def self.perform(a = nil, arg: a); end
end
```
