I was in the top 1% on the Rock Band drums leaderboard for a while. I played a ton. But I had no interest in making music. You're asking about the competitive players. Competing at a game and playing music are two very different goals.

YouTube got popular with mainstream TV shows and movies. Then after it won all the market share with that content, Google bought it and turned it legit.

I don't think the firing changed anything, though. You have to assume your employer had access to your chats already. And emails, etc. Your net privacy didn't change.

What are you talking about? I don't think this was ever even an announced feature. It's redundant with another type of backup which is the one they've been publicly promoting for a long time. (Restore points.) They finally go

I have a collection of over 1000 faved tweets that's one of my favorite possessions. I noticed that one would occasionally get deleted by the author so I wrote a script to screenshot them all with a Python package called Splinter.

It's not that 99% of big data problems can't or shouldn't be solved by those tools. It's that hype makes everyone think their problem falls under the category of big data when it might not. Hitting a performance or stabi

I think what they've noticed is a similar arc where both products got initially sold as being universally required and applicable and generational which justified enough investment to spawn a whole industry. And instead of fulfilling s

You've asked about storage size and performance, which are very unlikely to be an issue for storing rows of two integers. What you really want to be thinking about is the data access patterns. Are you going to be querying the entire da

It's a record of a "non-event." It's precedent of an accusation against the mother being illegitimate, not a black mark against her. Though I'm sure she obviously wishes the incident had never happened. Either way,

The article you cited says: "The police officer left with a curt nod and without filing a report." And "agree[d] that this was a little ridiculous." It was officially marked a "non-event". The whole point of th

I was a huge fan too. I had a lot of containers set up on three different machines and they all got wiped out last week. I haven't put in all the work to rebuild them yet and I'm losing the wherewithal to keep putting up with Fire

You're listing values or things that are specific to your client or your understanding of the platform. For example, I didn't see "random interruptions from other users" when I read that because I know the best way to co

It's not terrible. Twitter just isn't your preferred venue so you find it unnatural. It's natural for me to read and for others to read and for the author to have written on Twitter. Why not put it elsewhere? Twitter is our p

They're saying the subject of the headline is a mistake. Not that the mistake is believing that's the purpose of government.

I don't even understand which two things you're trying to distinguish. Or where duplicity comes in. The narrative of the employees understanding too late about the rights they gave up, and then protesting, is straightforward. I do

My take is that Windows is the best experience because the unsuitability of the built-in option for every day use drove me to a real solution. (In my case, SecureCRT.) One of the things I hate is when the default option is "good enough

In my opinion what makes a 10x developer are things that are (ironically) not quantitative. It's the wisdom and experience to keep yourself from going down the wrong track. Not progressing down the same track faster or better. For exam

I'd imagine the founders and execs aren't needed or wanted outside of ensuring basic continuity of the business short term. But they negotiated benefits for themselves and not the other employees because they were the ones negotia

I prefer playing local files and having the feature set of a real player like foobar2000. I was on premium Spotify for a year and found some value in having access to a wider library than my own. But ultimately I got too annoyed with the co

It may not be that. These people live a lifestyle of status symbols over substance. It's important to be seen as having kids with a certain kind of success. They could feel pressured to buy success for their kids as insurance despite f
