It's just sequences of notes and then inserting certain notes into other sequences. The "heavyweight" part of it disappears when you're using software which handles all this in the background. The remaining parts of it i

I feel like calendars should allow filling spaces other than half hour blocks. I think I understand why the Google calendar might do this. The target usage might be more for events or meetings which fit more nicely in these blocks. For usag

I have waded into crypto twice. Both times I have lost access and the funds are gone. I don't care what happens with Bitcoin, I'm staying away from it.

You're probably right, we speak different languages. I feel 30K is meaningless if we're not talking about an ROI on that investment. Many software developers spend that on education at a university along with 4 years of their time

Let's say you have two programs to select from. One program has a 60% placement rate, but has horrible quality. The other has a 30% placement rate, but high quality. Let's say that an independent 3rd party does the quality assessm

Couldn't you make this same argument for any school in the US? Maybe We're getting vague here (my fault.) What do we actually mean by "teach yourself?" Nobody is spoon-feeding you knowledge. You get a curriculum to follo

Once you're in, why not forget about the quality and problems and just follow the program? I have only ever gone to low level state schools, but one of my instructors told me that he wasn't there to teach me. He was there to guide

That's enough questions for Jerry. Anything which fits the "X your ass off" is probably bad advice unless you're running from something which is going to eat you.

Right, but my focus is more about making the date tolerable if you don't click right away. There's nothing worse than being on a long date with someone when you know within the first 5 minutes that you aren't interested. And

1st date is more about maintaining the level of interest, not raising it. They were interested enough in you to go on a date with maybe just remote correspondence. A quick date is just an extension of that. Maintaining enough interest in a

Right. And I would hate to be looking forward to 2+ hours of being with someone after I figure out that I'm no longer interested in the person within the first 5 minutes of a first date. Dinner following the movie gives you all sorts o

Tried to read Deep Work, which just seemed like a much simplified rehash of Flow, by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Then the replication crisis happened, which may have tagged some of the ideas in Flow as questionable. I don't think I would

Extractive is more about the relationship than money. It's extractive because the service gains power by becoming the platform. Users go to the app to view food items and order. The app becomes the experience of the restaurant. The ser

Give me a clear path to downloading Edge if there's no other usable option.

Okay, that must have been the situation then. New install with only IE available. IE was barely usable then, I imagine it could be worse now. The only way I could see a typical user getting to a usable browser would be to copy browser insta

While this might be crappy of them, I'm welcoming of MS making Edge easy to install on my system. I haven't installed Windows in a while, but I'm guessing Edge ships with the OS. I recall being in a situation where I had to u

There's always winners and losers. We hope the market provides us with ever improving options, which could be a win for everyone. Some may lose by taking down zombies, but the market overall improves. </overly simplified and pr

Parking my comment here to be part of the dense club. Why would you even need forever growth? Is it good enough that old companies die and new companies replace the old? In that process, there's always growth to find and invest in?

It appears the tools have been changed. Now using Amplitude for user session analytics. I'm not familiar with it, but it appears that at least it's less invasive than Hotjar. I don't have the time right now to look into it fu

They are using a 3rd party keylogging service on the front-page. Most of these services also use them in the app itself, which isn't what the keyloggers were designed for. I'm at the point now that when I see these tools being use

Is this the same CRM app which was using key loggers inside the application? I see they are using these keyloggers on the main page. I don't even want to try the registration process. Edit: Keyloggers which send your data to a third pa

I have a theory that most people who consider themselves night owls get to be that way because they "manage" their sleep. They stay up later than they should, wake up to an alarm and then their mornings are screwed for productivit
