Double Shot #1870
- The future of Ruby Toolbox - The server hosting this vital site crashed last week. The data is back online, but so is this discussion of what to do next. A good chance for the right people to help the community, I think.
- Rails 4.2.9.rc1 has been released! - This is planned to be the last bug fix release of 4.2. If you're not already moving on a migration to Rails 5, you'd best get started.
- The search for the Goldilocks browser and why Firefox may be “just right” for you - A look at some of the Firefox architecture, including how it does multi-process a bit differently than Chrome does.
- Rails Helper Testing Made Simple - A few useful techniques here. Also a step back to a broader look at which helpers are worth testing and how to apply some discipline.
- Daisy - a private blockchain where blocks are SQLite databases - It's hard for me to take this as anything other than "software as parody". I suspect it's serious though.
