   Spotify has better discovery and recommendations, that's for sure. The killer feature for me is that Apple Music makes it seamless to add local mp3s into my library (accessible from anywhere). Spotify has this functionality, but you ha

   Yes, but deletion of a Google account (for a lot of people, the core of their whole internet experience) has way different probability than getting a new, non-apple phone.

   Big bummer, I loved this service when traveling in the PNW. I could be in Portland for a week and instead of needing to rent a car for the whole time, I had unfettered access on demand and only paid for what I needed. Being able to park it

   Advent of Code does a great job at this. Its ads are text-based, relevant, and unintrusive. Of course, it has a pretty particular aesthetic, but plenty of sites could do a simple (non-animated) image or text to surface their sponsor without

    In addition to the others listed, there's also https://shortcuts.fun/ It's a hack, but it works pretty well. There's also a lot of work been done in iOS 13 to reduce the number of steps required to do a thing

    Totally! It makes content so easy to track. I try to use Twitter a little bit for this, but most accounts post lots of other tweets in addition to "new post", so I have to spend time trying to guess which hashtags they might use t

    I really love the Ruby naming conventions around this: `!` indicates mutation. 2.4.1 :001 > a = [4,3,5,1,2] => [4, 3, 5, 1, 2] 2.4.1 :002 > a.sort => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] 2.4.1 :003 > a => [4, 3, 5, 1, 2] 2.4

    While you could get between pre-selected points reliably (home and work), how was your experience living in LA carless when it came to going anywhere outside walking distance? The sprawl is massive and the busses/trains only go so far

    I imagine that's not a coincidence.

    Except for JS, which will execute `1/0` happily and without complaint. For that, I usually do `undefined.foo`.

    Let me start by saying that I absolutely agree with you - it's a dumb insult now and always has been. That said, anecdotally, my grandmother recently passed away having never used a computer in her life. Never sent an email, googled an

    The issue is the hypocrisy of ensuring that a mother delivers a potential baby and simultaneously removing the social safety net that ensures it will be cared for once it arrives (even if she isn't financially able to).

    I worked for a startup that was acquired by Salesforce. Pretty soon after it was all official, they sent over 200 signed copies of his book. This is especially notable because they weren't signed by him - just by random other SFDC empl

    Heck, this is great for technical people too. There's the public integrations, but I use the dev platform for private things all the time. Takes some extra coding, but once the interface is built everything else comes free. That plus c
