It makes sense that there'd be free options for a genre like trance or other electronica that can be made by one person on a computer. However, if you enjoy music that features live instruments I just don't see how it could be fre

> Hate to pull an ad hominem attack This is by no means ad hominem. That would be more "Robinson is a mean person so whatever she says is worthless". Questioning someone's biases is an entirely valid line of argument.

Perltidy predates PBP by a long time. Perltidy is a bit of a huge mess, and it has its own parsing code and is nearly impossible to hack on. We really need a PPI-based re-implementation.

I mostly agree with this but with one (and a half) modifications and one addition. Instead of storing a version as an integer, I strongly prefer naming each migration and storing the applied migrations in a database table. Rather than rel

Another MaxMind employee here ... Please don't try to use the dat file format. The binary files ending in ".dat" are the Legacy format, which has never been documented. Use the MMDB format linked by oalders in the top comment

I see a lot of answers about how it's not technical debt that kills startups, it's failure to address customer needs. But I don't think these two are so different. My definition of technical debt would be "problems in th

Hi Tonjé, This is a great idea, but how do you protect yourself from Netflix and Amazon simply deciding to eat your category? It seems like as the 800 pound gorillas in the market, there's nothing preventing them from simply beefing up

If you like Death Note I highly recommend Monster, which is a similar not-type anime with a focus on psychology and philosophy. It's one of the most brilliant pieces of writing I've ever experienced.

Without seeing a lot more context, I think it's believable that this is indeed just the result of using Bootstrap. Originality is vanishingly rare (if it exists at all, which I sometimes doubt), and it's certainly possible for mul

I was not impressed by the toilets in the Tokyo city rail system. The one or two I tried to use were not very clean, though maybe not quite as gross as some toilets I've seen in the US. The nicest public toilets I've been are th

Actually, I only like 20th century music or newer for the most part. I think our local orchestras and chamber ensembles do a pretty good job of including new music. There are also new music ensembles here. More would be good for my tastes,

I think most people who say that we should eliminate time zones are confusing time zones with daylight saving time changes. Eliminating DST shifts is a fantastic idea. Eliminating time zones is pure stupidity.
