We are Ruby shop and push to production every 2 weeks. We are looking to make that shorter and do full blown continuous delivery. We have 95% coverage of the user interface automated with a lot of complicated scenarios. IMHO it is a must to automated tests to push to a feature rich application to production so often along with environments and automated continuous integration.

95M-Year-Old Octopus Fossils Discovered 290

Posted by kdawson from the eight-by-eight dept.
mmmscience writes "A new study published in Paleontology is a truly terrific find. Not only did a group of European scientists find a fossilized octopus, they found five complete fossils that show all eight legs in great detail, including a ghost of the characteristic suckers. The discovery of the 95-million-year-old specimens was made in Lebanon. 'What is truly astonishing to the scientists is how similar these ancient creatures are to their modern-day counterparts. Dirk Fuchs, lead author on the study stated, "These things are 95 million years old, yet one of the fossils is almost indistinguishable from living species."'"
