Should engineers who invent new rifle shells, or atomic bombs, or armed drones, or work at the NSA, or Tinder, or Uber, or Groupon, or Zynga be shunned? All of their employers are perceived by some as some as scumbags. If your job that you

That would require you to listen to and chart out these 6 mediocre songs. I wouldn't ask you to do that. You've got a music background, I take it?

The worst band in that mashup - Florida/Georgia Line. (diatribe about my upbringing in Georgia redacted)

That's hilarious, but it sounds like those tunes were pitch shifted into the same key. Nashville producers have more skill than that. Oh, and FL/GA line is frigging awful.

I dunno, I still say this is exactly the kind of stupid business decision that a half decent manager could've talked them out of. They chose to go into debt to put on a crazy wild rock show thinking that future crowds will be big enou

I read that article when it came out. I've played all those same rooms that they played on that tour, so let me speak from experience on exactly what they did wrong. Note the part where they don't have any management, which suppo

I respect the hell out of some of Steve Albini's work, but to avoid ending up a bitter old industry fuck like the guy who wrote this article is the reason I quit the music business. Also, FYI, there's a whole other music industry

I've been rejected from numerous job attempts and I learned a lot from the majority of them. Whether it was the lack of fundamentals on data structures and (sometimes) stupid algorithmic interview questions, or a CTO with whom I total

I promise that puppet and chef are not how the majority of people first hear of Ruby.

Thanks. So it's sorta like "quarterdown".

That links to an experiment that -proves- suggests it's possible to game psychiatric diagnosis, not that mental illness doesn't exist. edit: btw the way, I've been here for like 5 years now and I still don't know what fl

You dispute that mental illness is a thing that exists?

I'm pretty sure I know everybody I know in Boston, and I think we'd know if we knew each other.

We don't know each other, but I'd like to buy you a beer some time.

I can't think of many better uses for the menagerie of different tracking methods that they have planted on me, to be honest.
