Recode has an interview with Gimlet's cofounders about the acquisition: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1q7w7rQYjh3yFgey4Gz2OO

This need not be a thread battle over airport commute times, but I've made the trip from LIC/Astoria to JFK many times and even with a good amount of train luck it roughly takes an…

Another perspective, from a skateboarder: In New York skateboarders are banned from sidewalks and have to skate in traffic. I've got a solid push and hold my own among bikes and ca…

This is a symptom of a heavily mobile-first strategy. There are many developers at Spotify passionate about improving the desktop platform - and not just for feature parity with mo…

I was in a very bad accident when a GMC pickup t-boned my 98 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS at ~55mph. My car crumpled and was totaled but took the hit and went for a 4 wheel slide across th…

I'm 91% through a full series read (kindle stat) and while I find some parts to be funny it's more arduous a task than an entertaining read. You're not alone. I like a good dose of…

The link you wanted was https://github.com/jyotiska/minni as the one you provided links to a different github user :)

This is ok in an industry where there are far more jobs available than workers. I'd say it's fine in any software hotbed like NYC or SF where there's really no excuse to be unemplo…

NYC's USPS is notoriously unreliable, especially for those of us without the luxury of doormen. Despite living in a nice neighborhood with a vestibule that would certainly house a …

I'm genuinely surprised by the popular opinion that people play lotto only to win a nearly impossible jackpot. I rarely play, but when I do it's during the big frenzies like this j…

This is what I thought in response to the "first world problems" comments. I grew up with a calendar on my fridge that kept the family in sync (as much as anything else) and think …

I find the number of typo PRs to be amusing. Makes me wonder if there's a mass effort to slog through commented code just to jump into the contributor list. Correct spelling is cer…

I find it interesting how often the phrase "[my desktop] is pretty boring" is said in a nearly shameful manner. These people that were producing content with their computers that w…

The activity on the article's accompanying github ( https://github.com/BloombergMedia/whatiscode ) is really interesting. Users have suggested edits not only to the code in the art…

How did you get back to the software industry so easily after a long industry break working as a bartender... I would like to read the response to this question. I think there are …

Just FYI you can control whether or not iTunes manages your music folder and there is some customization in Pref > Advanced. I chose to let it manage the files but reduced some of …

How is that an Easte...OOOH now I get it! +1

There's good reason to have shown this on a white car because of this fact. 1. white give nice contrast for dirt but importantly 2. white nicely hides the frosty appearance of Ultr…

I would love to follow a Tim Ferriss (well-versed body hacker and author of 4-Hour Body) experiment with Soylent. I've read his book and his analyses convinced me to try a diet for…

As a long time skateboarder (mostly street and transition with dabbling in longboarding with some friends' boards) I see this as the segway of skateboards. Looks like a neat commut…

This is the direction in which I was immediately thinking. As a software dev by day and musician by night/weekend/days off with experience living, working, and playing in several m…

I heartily agree with this sentiment. Angelfire and GeoCities were gateway sites for that opened the door to a career in web development far beyond animated gifs and marquees. Whil…

I'm bothered by the tone and inclusive language of this post. Of course an inspection of one's private conversations is intrusive and will make them uncomfortable, but this isn't t…

See the home button in the upper left corner of the page. You don't see the suckers but it is recognizable. I don't think they're terribly worried about seeing those details.

Fix with your browser's style inspector or if you can access a javascript console: document.getElementsByClassName('paragraph')[1].style.color = '#000000 !important' I find alterna…
