Azure didn't exist. OS X had just come out and almost no one took Macs seriously as a development target yet. Windows was the only user-facing thing anyone developed for aside from little Java games on flip phones. The Web 2.0 takeov

I've had two pull-aside moments exactly like this on social media! They changed me for the better. The pull out and up of a quote never had that effect even if that's the stated intent of its most ardent defenders.

Not to WOMM, but as a data point, it's working perfectly for me in Firefox on Windows with uBlock Origin. Is this one of those A/B test things where I'll get it eventually? I know the ad bomb rolled out slowly[0] and we know

I wouldn't trust Steinberg, either. I had a copy of one of the lesser Cubases from an audio thing I owned. I had it registered and on my account...and then I didn't. And, of course, the contact form only offers options that begin

People are weird. I gave up reasoning with them. "No amount of persistence and practice will let me dunk on Shaq, but high IQ people get dunked on all the time" should be a winner vs people who think genetics determine everything,

I don't keep a log of silly eugenics nonsense I encounter and, if nothing else, we probably have the common experience of Google getting worse at this kind of query. Some of it was on HN, at least. If you find it, good luck! I've
