Just tried to imagine Kate Winslett with a moustache.
Mind bleach anyone?

Is she doing a handstand?

At some point in every man's life (sometimes women too), they come to a cross-roads. At this cross-roads a decision has to be made. How will I grow my moustache?

Keith Barrow wrote: the file-watcher in the OS is sub-par
Okay, as soon as I attempt to discuss this, someone is going to call me a Windows FanBoi or something, but I would like to explain.
Are you talking about the FileSystemWatcher (FSW)?
If you are I originally thought there were issues too.
However, what I learned is that I didn't understand what the File System itself does.
I wrote a program that allows you to watch all file events (Changed, Created, Deleted, Renamed ) on any particular drive and then exclude any paths you want as it runs.
Anyways, while writing that program I learned that what people think is "wrong" is
When a file is copied to a directory, the OS/file system gives it a temp name so whenever you copy a file to a directory you actually get more events than you expect.
You get something like:*
1. file created (with temp file name)
2. file renamed (to the target name you know the file as)
3. file created (then another file created as the file name you know it as)
* - It's been a while so I forget the exact file system events.
My point here is that every dev I know says that the FSW is broken and records multiple entries for one file, but that is because they don't understand the File System / OS and what it does.
Again, not trying to defend FSW or OS or whatever, but thought this might be interesting.

It is.
The difficulty I'm having is with a node (actually grunt + gulp related framework) task - add a file and it doesn't pick it up. I guess the above is the problem.

Ah, grunt, I've had similar problems. As a matter of fact I ended up writing my own program to LiveReload my web page when there was a change.
You know, during development you are making changes in your HTM or JavaScript and you want your browser to reflect the changes automatically so you don't have to keep doing a refresh?
I wrote up the project as a CP article and it uses the FSW:

Welcome back; glad to hear from ye, Keith, and congratulations-and-deepest-sympathies on your new work challenges.
It would interest me to know more about with-what/where-in (in Angular ? ... the "HTML5/CSS/JS stack" ?) you find issues with Windows. I am currently thinking that it's time I dip a toe into those shark-filled waters, and Angular is the flavor or choice, at the moment. But, I'm not sure if that will be Angular as-is, or Angular 2.0 always-on-the-horizon.
cheers, Bill

Nowhere there specifically - it's actually the build tooling we use: node and (especially) gulp.
Most of it isn't properly tested on Windows - I guess it's written by people on the exact environment whose name I dare not utter here. Specifically:
0. The Build is much slower on a similar spec name - the linters on the Win box take longer than m'colleagues whole build
1. The node environment blitzes the machine - 100% CPU, 100%time serving web pages
2. The command line has huge buffer issues - Iost a full day's effort fixing a unit test. The failure result I kept getting was actually from the first run, but kept showing up in subsequent runs.
3. File Watcher - the environment is mostly build & let the file watcher update - under windows it doesn't look like a new file is added to the watch, meaning a re-build. Not a biggie, but occasionally catches me out.

I look forward to seeing your Mac based articles. We need more of those.

Is a Mac based article when you write an article on your Windows laptop set on top of the Macbook?

I'll award a 5 just because I have food poisoning and my sense of humour is offline so I cannot be bothered to work out whether or not that deserved a chuckle.

Another angel, who had a golden censer MacBook Air, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense iPhones to offer, with the prayers of all God's Jobs' people, on the golden altar in front of the throne.
