I couldn't stand "on the road". Not sure when "too late" would be but I read it in my mind twenties. For a good amount of it, I gave it the benefit of the doubt telling myself it's simply from another time, b

I had to read it in high school and, while I didn't really feel forced, I can't say I liked it very much. It's clearly well written, but I just couldn't bring myself to give a damn about any single character throughout.

With physical things, if I do something stupid, I blame myself. With software, if it allows me to do something stupid, I blame the software. Unfortunately, the same mindset carries for clients, employers, and other various people using so

I'd like to add to this. I used simple for a couple years back when it was first released, and it helped immensely in getting out of debt and on the right track. I've since moved on to other banks (at the time there were no join

I'd recommend watching those videos before knocking him for the glitter bombs. They are impressively engineered, with entertaining videos which contain a good deal of detail about how, why, and in the most recent version, how they are

That's my guess. I get a discount, they get to share my internet with others. On my block that's not really going to effect me. As far as I'm concerned, they're simply charging me to use my own equipment.

Comcast's ahead of this in Illinois. They gave a significant discount for using their modem / router for "unlimited" internet. I'd rather not use their modem. I already gave my own, but it would cost about $500 m

I went ahead and returned my PS4 copy for this exact reason. Also tried on Steam (linux), but couldn't get it started beyond the intro screen and I don't care to debug further. I only dive into a couple games a year (RDR2 last ye

Backend. It's essentially an API gateway, although on my API it's just another endpoint. Behind the scenes it calls the other endpoints.

That query is completely contrived (doesn't match anything I'm working on), but here's what the response would look like: { "products": { "abc123": { "id&quot

You're not wrong, and to resolve this, I've implemented something of an in-between for APIs I work on, which I call a "Multi-Endpoint Query". It's a restful(-ish) API, but there's an additional endpoint called

A few lifetimes ago I had a tiny apartment on a busy street in Brooklyn. I slept all hours so I had cardboard over my bedroom windows. There was a hole in the cardboard that on some days with the right light ended up projecting the busy s

It's definitely true that the label gets the majority, and Spotify in this case, but there is (usually) a per-record cut for the artist in the physical album version of this transaction.

I have to agree. I'm not sure I understand why any other artist should receive that subscription money if I paid for a service abd only listened to a single artist. The service got their cut. Shouldn't the artist make their mon

I agree with just about everything you said here, (never read the book, so no opinion upon that). I would add that UX-first _can be_ the start of the conversation in a larger context. Yes there are things that can't be done without a

Google has responded correctly to "never play that song again" for me in the past. Same with "hey google, fuck this song". I don't know if it explicitly "downvoted" the song or not, but the song was imme

This is what has led us to stop using our assistants around the house. I have 4 of those little google pucks around the house that we used for various tasks and automations. Now that we have a 1-year-old we almost never use them because I

This is why I've kept my home automation offline with zwave. Zwave has its own barrel of shit, but at least it stays inside the barrel. When I first started playing with HA a few years ago, I got an internet connected hub, and it even

I had been considering a similar setup and then got a notification for a barely used htd lync12 with amps on Craigslist at an insanely good price and hopped right on it. I've spent the past year or so wiring up the house a room at a

Yes. I have a lot of respect for the HA project, but I stopped using it last year. It changed far too much for me too much keep up at the time, and I ran into too many issues with the zwave support at the time. Thanks for the link.

Can I ask what software you're using for music on your home audio system? I have an HTD system with speakers throughout and while Chromecast Audio was great for a while, stability has been an issue that I'm no longer interested
