Rails fanboy since 0.9. Great framework. It's just such a ... comfortable? space to be in. Highly recommend it even after all these years - though now I use it mostly for modern SPA-style apps where rails simply provides an API. Which

exactly. to boot, if you look at death rates for all of the UK, they have been on an upward trend for the past several years so it is no surprise that deaths would higher this year than in any year in the past five years https://

if I'm in regular communication with someone, I'll skip the hi or inline it. the hello comes in handy when I'm getting in touch with someone I might only talk to once every couple weeks. then I like to just kind of break the

unfortunately this is almost every place i've ever worked. so many good points here - but the most poignant for me is "celebrating shipping" vs celebrating customer success ... so true

journalists actually find + report facts, and check them. Without journalists, there would be far fewer facts! Pick up any newspaper - in every article, in every paragraph, you will most likely find a newly minted fact produced and edited b

it's like a pyramid scheme - web firms stripping value from news companies until there is none left - and then what? Most of the interesting content on the internet is, in fact, generated by professional newsgatherers. Take that away a

roughly 60,000 people who want to know what's going on around them in terms of local government, arts, sports, ordinary people, etc. The Globe is about 50 times better at these things than any other source.

call center hours at the globe are listed as 6AM-5PM M-f, 8AM-2PM Sat/Sun. Seems pretty generous to me. Keep in mind this is 140 year old company which can't change all at once.
