What if you want to make two separate ad campaigns? One targeted to men and one to women. This has yielded the best results in a previous company. We hired x5 the women (tech industry) just because we changed the wording a bit.

Would love to see this added to Youtube's autogenerated subtitles! It would be a significant improvement.

Spanish is already mostly like this. What you read is what you pronounce. Any other languages like this anybody knows of?

I wouldn't worry too much. I'm sure tiling functionality can be plugged in (i.e. some special snap app like gnome-snap, or something similar)

Very interesting indeed. I have dwelled with Marx a bit, and I too was surprised about the lack of a blueprint on how it should work.

They maintained a socialist state, financing the healthcare of all with the contributions (not symmetrical) of society. Not surprising. Spain’s healthcare system (arguably one of the best public ones) was started by Franco, a fascist ditact

Not entirely related, but always amazes me: In the US, the word “socialism” seems to be confused with ”communism” like they were exchangeable. Mostly like people think vegan and vegetarian are the same thing. Nazis and Soviets were both soc

Super late to the party but, if you love OCaml and ML languages, check out Elixir. Runs on the Earlang machine and this inherits all its libraries. It takes more than a page from patterns and conditional method bodies. Love it.

Way too late to the party but the issue here is that you're valuing developer convenience over product maintenance. Maintainability >>> Convenience

Nice article but I'd point out two things: 1. 'Death' is a bit too extreme. I think everybody is excited at first and tries to find an excuse to use microservices. We're assisting to a decline in that initial push, that&

Very nice piece. "Swap is primarily a mechanism for equality of reclamation, not for emergency 'extra memory'. Swap is not what makes your application slow – your lack of physical memory is what makes your application slow.&q

This article is valuable since it's raising some interesting pitfalls it's good to know and avoid. That being said: you need to use the right tool for the job. It's just hilarious how people expect the new "foo framework

Jeez I quit Facebook like 6 years ago and never looked back. What’s the real need here? Old buddies you barely know of? Let them go. Just drop FB, it’s not that important, and 70% of people are clearly (by reading all the “I quit Facebook d

People usually dive into Elixir expecting Ruby, but it’s a very different language. Most of this confusion comes from not wanting to sit down and read a good book about it. The only thing it takes from Ruby is variable and namespace naming

It’s just funny how the modern nationalist and xenofobe believe they’re “super cool and progressive”. Let’s never forget the horrors of a disassembled Europe, filled with nationalists and xenofobes.

The point has been proven: there’re some business models that can be jump start with VC, and generate tons of cash flow. It will never go away. What’s happening is that the world is learning no to invest hundreds of millions in a ”bro app”.

Haha, well not too sure. For one, Facebook isn’t a human connection, it’s really not. You’re not really friends with someone you haven’t spoken to in 5 years. On the other hand, we’ve been attached to human connections since the begging of

Well I really like the “in case you missed it” section. Brings up the important and funny stuff condensed. If I hear something’s going on, I’ll open un the TT section and get some instant insights from it. They way I see it, Twitter is usel

Wasn’t this the succession war between Habsburg and Borbon dynasties? I’ve seen some depictions in paintings [1] where you can see soldiers from the Habsburg (wearing the Catalan berretinas) porting a Spanish flag... I believe it was more a

Just in case you didn’t read it right: 30-40% of Catalonia, which in whole is less than 20% of Spain’s population... so that’s like a 5-7% of Spanish population? The constitution is for all Spaniards.
