So the Sky footage of the F1 was so focused on Hamilton's finish they l show the podium takers crossing the line on the final race as an afterthought. I don't give a shit about Hamilton

Is this a bug? Or am I not understanding something? Elements in an array are de-duped according to 'eql?' Seemingly not. #ruby #rails

Was trying to demonstrate in a spec that a memoized class performs better than an unmemoized one. Using Memery how do duplicate the class and actually remove the memoization functionality? Can't just remove a module. This hacky way works github.com/tycooon/memery/ #ruby #rails

I should have created more gems by now. Surely? I am sure everyone wants to write something that changes the life of a billion developers. Just extracted this from an old project so I could re-use it, so it might be just me then. github.com/braindeaf/inte… #ruby #rails #rubygems

It's such a pain in the arse to pay for stuff now * A specific app for a each service * Mobile Network connectivity is poor, WIFI not available or unsecured / public * Add /store card details * Every transaction requires a OTP * 50% of the time it fails Technology, man.

If you go to @WorldOfWonder's own streaming site and search for "Drag U" it doesn't come up you just get "Untucked". You have to hunt down manually under "TOOTS, BOOTS, AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN". I just get frustrated that search on most websites/applications is lacking #dev
