I was looking at South Africa's biggest annual developer survey today, and lo and behold some are using it for coding work. I would assume it's people who pay for Twitter pro or wh…

Although I think "pure" is alright to use in this context, I would probably have gone with "beautifully simple".

I had some fun a while back writing this XML parser in Typescript, after taking interest in tokenisation and compilers. You can try it out in your own Javascript projects with a si…

I'm from SA and I knew about IBM and the Holocaust, but not Apartheid. Thanks for putting me onto that.

I heard a very small one somewhere that really isn't meant to get them, through a TV show in earbuds. Perhaps the volume has something to do with what's happening beneath the surfa…

Blanking on a source right now, but I recall reading about a study on the 'oldness' of languages and found that the unique sort of phonetics in !Kung and other Khoe or San language…

Spent a few months writing a pretty hefty Cqrs app in Go last year, had a fun but pretty unintuitive experience with rustlingss, and V really does seem like a cool in between! I lo…

Super cool! Fun, useful and slightly cursed indeed

Segerman's recordshop is still running and an icon in the Cape Town music scene! https://mabuvinyl.wordpress.com/

I had always assumed it was due to Brendan Eich being the face of the project. Or the built-in adblocking. It's my preference for these reasons as a chromium default - I don't know…

maybe give it another shot? I wasn't able to replicate the issue but haven't seen anyone else have it

yeah this is what I was referring to, thanks

This is very cool, hadn't heard of it before. Thanks.

Glad you're enjoying it, always open to nitpicky feedback. I'll put all of these suggestions on the backlog and see how they play together - thanks!

Thank you! That's super cool - I'm not nearly as familiar with data science as it sounds you are, I've just made some choice placements in building a UI around the Spotify API. The…

If I understand correctly, what I'm getting back from their API is basically what lies between, but without any of the interesting data they're using the do the calculation. One ca…

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Sign-in and saving to a profile was the most requested feature across the board when I previously launched Selecta, and as such it needs access to ena…

If you still want to give it a shot, you shouldn't need an active subscription for it to work. But I do totally get moving away from the streaming world. Even bandcamp is losing it…

Thanks for giving it a try - I'll take a shot at that one.

They really can be terrible sometimes. I loved last.fm too - still sporadically scrobbling at https://www.last.fm/user/Knightspore . But today my profile mostly serves as a record …

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it :)

I posted here a while back with this app I'd been working on. In short: It allows you to talk to Spotify's recommendations API to specify musical features you'd like recommendation…

I don't think a brand change can make anything better or worse. It's just a lick of paint. Sure, the changes that come along with a brand change may change things for the better - …

How exactly does changing a logo (in one, messy looking place not to mention - not anywhere else yet) lead even in the slightest to "making twitter better than he found it"?
