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 hour door to door via public transit.…
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 cars but, regardless, get all kinds of…
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 mobile.
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 the road. A nice balanced car takes hits…
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 silly but sometimes I just roll my…
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 unemployed as a software developer unless you…
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 just for kicks but with decent chances…
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 a family calendar that works with…
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 certainly good, but the interesting…
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 was anything but boring (in the…
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 article but even to add citation. This adds…
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 many software engineers out there who…
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 Ultra Ever Dry. Check out the ars technica…
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 the first time in my life to change my…
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 commuter ride for those who want minimal…
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 major east coast US cities I can say…
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. While I have happily moved on to github and…
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 true for all: "We get incredibly…
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 alternate maps like this fascinating. You…
It's important to think about how this is a product of the people with whom one surround oneself. I think my SO would be happy with an alternative stone (or perhaps no stone at all!) and that's because her and my…
I am a 27 year old software engineer and am glad to see a peer researching alternate nutrition (and it truly is just that) that doesn't boil down to [Agent X] is EVIL or [Agent Y] is MIRACULOUS. I have a negative…
