I'm glad you included it, I have fond memories using Grooveshark :)

Grooveshark, now that's a name I have not heard in a long time

I think that snippet is perfectly reasonable if you are an individual or a small team in charge of the whole stack. This line of code is unlikely ever to change. Contrast this with…

I hate how cynical and jaded everyone on Hacker News is.

Not going to lie, this is quite cute

It would look even worse on their part, and there will probably still be a lot of people boycotting Reddit by their own volition regardless of how the site operates.

Satisfaction is inversely correlated with the propagation of genes.

This is an important distinction but it simplifies the situation in my opinion. A 3 year old may only see one cat, but it has probably seen many other things in its life already. H…

It is frightening that we have gotten to this point already.

I had no idea this was a thing, this must be infuriating.

I have increasingly become disinterested in CGI-heavy movies. I have taken to watching more foreign-language films, which seem to still be more interpersonal and grounded in realit…

This is my feeling exactly, it is a semantic auto-complete. Should/can it write your core business logic? Probably not, but there is a good chance it can infer and suggest logical …

I'm not sure I understand the premise of the question. What parts of Julia seem to be lacking?

We can celebrate things separately. One good thing does not detract from another.

I find the idea of a manifesto in software quite off-putting, since it is inherently idealogical. The ideology itself might have redeeming factors, but I think that it is a poor ve…

This book is a bit divisive, but I will mention it anyway. I have been reading "Infinite Jest" by David Wallace this year. While being fiction from the late 90s, I think it predict…

The really bizarre thing is that I found myself enjoying this podcast, perhaps even more than the average Joe Rogan podcast. This didn't feel quite as hollow as the average AI-gene…

I am purely speculating, but the ritualistic behaviour in humans might be an attribute which allows complex multi-step instructions to propagate over generations. Pattern identific…

I can see how this would elicit quite a negative response, but getting an app onto the App Store requires non-trivial fees. Even just code-signing an app requires money that could …
