   I understand what he's getting at, but if you are trying to have an exact copy of code in order to guarantee an exact behaviour, then you would want to extend that to the operating system used to run the software. One example was havin

   I studied it as a module at Cass Business School back in 03-06. To see it mentioned here in a completely different environment to the one I studied in has been a pleasant surprise. I loved how it explained the counter-intuitively of rising

   We used Wkhtmltopdf on a project making PDF reports. The challenge we ran into with it was generating PDFs with pixel-precision for content layout, and at the time support for CSS Flexbox. I think eventually we worked out how to do it, but

   Pusher is an early example of this model. It came out of a hack day at a Ruby on Rails consultancy called New Bamboo, got spun out into its own business, raised VC, and then sold to MessageBird. New Bamboo got acquired by ThoughtBot some ye

   Yep. I’ve seen negative Glassdoor reviews disappear from a company I worked at a few years ago (I took screenshots as backup). Scraping the site on a regular basis and taking screenshots is the only way to stop them from scrubbing the revie

    I was applying a pattern of naming the files containing ORM Models with a capital, in order to represent that they contained a javascript class as their default export. e.g. class Admin extends Model { }; export default Admin

    I had a similar experience. Before I was a casual flyer, and then on my way to Wenzhou in an Airbus A320 we had a sudden jolt of turbulence going sideways. After that experience I didn't enjoy flying, and would grab the seat armrests a

    £1000pm for that is crazy. I did flat shares ranging from £440pm in Stoke Newington. I imagine the going rate might have climbed to £650pm, but this is just bonkers.

    When our Rails team delivered our projects and Christmas came in 2010, we peeked our heads out and discovered Node.js, CoffeeScript, and WebSockets. We created a real-time web framework from the combination of those technologies, and demoed
