I'd say it's more than tangentially related. The blog post is about Richard Stallman, his life, and his contributions; it seems strange to not acknowledge the recent controversy surrounding him.

Notable mention: the Apple TV app for macOS. Truly one of the worst experiences I've ever had on the desktop.

I didn't realize how strongly line spacing effected code readability for me -- really glad I saw this.

This is a quick little project I've spent the past few days working on. This page lets you study and observe the functions from Swift Algorithms[0] in real time. The HTML/CSS was generated using HyperSwift[1] and the DOM control&#

That's totally fair. I wish Spotify gave us more granularity in the data we ask for, I don't think we need the blanket permissions a user has to grant us (as someone who just deleted their Facebook and soon Google accounts, this i

That's definitely something we're focusing on more now. Like qnsi mentioned, last.fm does a pretty good job of that -- I've been a fan since high school. We, SameTunes, have an advantage when it comes to calculating a user&#x

Brilliant. Through the Spotify API we are given locational and positional data on some music objects. Your proposal to structure songs as vectors opens up a lot more flexibility for storing, weighting, and manipulating that data. The way in

Very good point. I think that's where something like last.fm really shines. Starting off, we focused heavily on comparisons but have branched out since. For example, the stats page you're first taken to gives you some analytical i

I agree 1,000%. When building out the platform, efficiency was a foremost consideration. Because of that, each comparison calculation flies. That's a good implementation suggestion, it reminds me of the adjacency matrix Twitter uses fo

I appreciate the feedback! I definitely think adding some examples to the homepage is a good feature. This idea was something we, a group of college students, felt was missing from our social interactions. I agree, it's a bit clunky to

I'm in no place to recommend technologies to chose (I'm no expert) but the documentation argument is a good one. There are a lot of articles from the past few decades introducing different odds and ends with PHP. Additionally, PHP

Good eye and good question! When I first joined, the existing codebase was already built out in PHP on a LAMP stack. I was really opposed to it at first but I've learned to love it since. The safety, speed, and size of a compiled langu

I just finished building a dsl to generate html (with css styling) purely in Swift. It's still a little rough around the edges but, as I'm using this for my personal website, it'll continue to improve. Let me know what you th

I'd say they can -- especially with the Gen Z group. Snapchat is used to produce videos, images, and texts for either: all your friends (stories), a select subset of your friends (private stories), a subset of that subset (subsequent p
