I haven’t seen this actually advertised anywhere, but this week there are loads of films going really cheap (mostly £1.99 or £2.99) on iTunes. https://www.megamovieweek.co.uk/

It is very impressive how slick & simple Netlify is. Free private GitHub repos is what unlocked it for me — I’ve now moved several of my sites there and it was super easy. Their Lambda integration is unbelievably convenient too. Well done @phae@twitter.com.

Netlify is absolutely amazing. Connecting it to GitHub repositories is super easy, and deploys are blazing fast. I am currently moving all my static sites there and will be able to shut down my VPS.

An (ever so slightly) early Christmas present: my addition of Proc composition to Ruby was merged to trunk. You’ll soon be able to compose Procs with << and >>! See https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/a43e967b8d277fee5cf18329b26bc5c31a3e0363 & the following 3 commits (Thanks to @tomstuart@twitter.com for spotting this)

This would be a great way for a new contributor to help with a popular Ruby open source project.

RT @samphippen@twitter.com

Looking to get involved in open source in Ruby? This RSpec Rails issue asks for some documentation for system tests: https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails/issues/1902 our documentation lives here: https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails/blob/master/features/system_specs/system_specs.feature and it's pretty bare right now. Would love to see someone add to it!

Fair enough. @threedaymonk@twitter.com earned this one.

RT @czetter@twitter.com: I had fun building a crossword for the @computationclub@twitter.com festive show and tell- https://multicrosser.chriszetter.com/crossword/computation-club/christmas/1

So many good anagrams for 'Turing complete'- ‘computer tingle’, ‘lettuce romping’, ‘recompute glint’ and ‘cluttering poem'. It was hard to pick just one. https://twitter.com/computationclub/status/1070261398498877441

RT @sarahmei@twitter.com: Anyone who tells you to study certain tech areas must be so early in their career that they haven’t figured out yet - communication with other humans is the only constant.

Just saying - might want to take that into account when choosing whose advice to consider. 🤔

Blimey, I beat the "shortest known solution". That's never happened before.

Upside for newer devs: it’s extremely easy to Just Use any custom hooks that the rest of your team have already built, and it mostly won’t matter if you don’t understand how they work under the hood. That’s a huge benefit over the existing approaches, which are all more invasive.
