wow Paul I haven't seen your name in years but loved what you used to do with Echo Nest and the Rdio API <3

SWF was simultaneously brilliant and a festering wound that required amputation, and I would have welcomed a replacement that wasn't the biggest attack surface on the internet. I t…

Check out The Immortality Key by Brian Muraresku, it has a few theories on through lines. The book is about these mystery cults, and specifically how they may have been using and e…

For sure. Buying wholesale and selling retail is one of the most common/accessible windows of arbitrage you can find.

I guess I don't get what's objectionable about working for someone who doesn't understand how you do what you do. Isn't what matters being appreciated? I certainly can't work for s…

I have also had huge results with 5-HTP (in combination with vitamin D). I had that breakthrough in 2017 and it has been a consistent improvement ever since so I feel comfortable s…

You know, you might be right that in the end it was a settlement of sorts. I remember for a while they were fighting it specifically because it was about playlists (named groups of…

When I worked with Rdio the RIAA sued them because users would make playlists named "Now that's what I call music " with the same songs as the CDs. All the songs were fully license…

Software is not an industry famous for socially/emotionally aware practitioners. Lots of people make perfect the enemy of "good enough", or leave useless PR nits to show that they …

So many adjectives... and "radical" in the title is a doozy considering this article is essentially a stoner summary of LeDoux's "Deep History of Ourselves" with the science replac…

yeah, this part is where I am confused - the dispute itself is about bad business to business behavior, but the class status of this lawsuit drills down to harm caused to end users…

thank you, now I'm learning the things I wanted to learn when I made my comment

I have to assume there is bright-line "swim at your own risk" language that protects Automattic from claims like this.

Are you serious? That's like saying expecting people to stay healthy while eating every meal out of a garbage dumpster is laughable. The solution isn't to change the content, it's …

While I find it annoying to present inaccurate details as "history" I still think we need to put the onus on information consumers to think critically and go beyond taking everythi…

I am in here taking a strong stance against CC, but I am happy to agree with you and steel-man your point: I think Clean Code is perfectly fine and workable in academic and single-…

I'm not seeking these people out to hate on them, but when I encounter them the social and code environments around them always exhibit the same dysfunctions. I've seen it multiple…

Clean Code zealots are consistently some of the least likable, least productive, least pragmatic people I have ever worked with. I've had multiple clients where the whole team is t…

I'm a self respecting developer who has been using React in production for almost 10 years now, and SiwftUI is significantly better than RN. I wasn't a huge fan of learning to deal…

There is a very simple rebuttal to this: In almost every high $$ trial the defense and prosecution will both call expert witnesses. These experts will then directly contradict and …

Articles like this on either side are a waste of time to write and read. Commenting on them is even worse (and here I am too...) Zero people are receiving value from any of this en…
