I used to love the KLF (still do). The whole KLF story was a fascinating saga of art and PR. I found their sound quite solid and it holds today as well. Loved the Manual as well. I had an electronic music studio from around 1997 to early 00

I don't like it, but I'm glad I'm not alone. I thought something was off as I was trying to "skip" the ads and get to the actual results but the "ads" seems to go on and on... Took me a while to realise th

We've just been talking about this yesterday and today in the client's office, where most of us are contractors. It's an agency, most tech staff is on contract, the client is a government body where almost everyone there are

I don't know where you live, but I'm guessing you're in the US. I'm 43 as well, been mostly the startup world for 20+ years - similar journey (worked, founded, etc). After my last startup got sold (not at best terms), I

I thought it was a memo from Howard Marks AKA Mr. Nice ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Marks ). I couldn't understand what's an interest in interest rates to do with him. Took me a few moments...

A lot of good points were made. I'll add one I think was missed (and I'll avoid the title "engineer"): A top developer knows that the stack does not matter to the user. The stack provides interest or a familiar or econo

The two projects i migrated were good quality code at the hundreds of thousand lines of code scale. Though I find that metric a bit inappropriate. I agree the statement was a bit generalising and not appropriate for every project and the m

Migration from python 2 to 3 is easy and fast. I've migrated multiple large apps and it took about a day each. Most libraries that matter have been migrated. Some don't even support python 2 anymore. It's practically 2020. Th

I've been a Cubase user since the v1.0 for PC arrived on one floppy disc. Over the years I've tried to switch to Logic, Ableton and Reaper but found I cannot be as fluent as I am on Cubase. I also noticed it's like a religion

As a side note, calling someone who served in 8200 a "Spy" is a bit of a stretch... Story might be legit, but the title is a bit baity.

And if I stand in the rain because i'm waiting for a black cab or the other app don't have driver's in my area, I get more wet.

First, as someone who strives for balance, I can't sit idle when you say "All tech is evil". That is just not true. We are all tech. all of us here. Very few people on this planet are "evil". However, many actions a

I've now got Kapten installed and will give them a try tomorrow. Hopefully there are Kapten drivers where I'd need it.

I'm not driven by ideology. And yes. I'm not a fan and I'll pay them if they provide me a service I need at a time I need it. I'm also not a fan of the government but I pay my taxes. I'm upset with Netflix for cance

What makes them convenient is availability and driver mass. Prices are an added bonus but not the main USP. Not to me anyway.

We're not that lucky in the UK. They came, they might go, and the traditionals will stay the same.

Why do people have the need to take over a market in the first place? There is room in such a big market for many players. Big and small. This obsession with growth is not healthy. I don't care if Uber takes me or Lyft, or Kapten. No b

I totally get that. And you know what, If black cabs were nicer, not THAT expensive, and, available(!) I'd be happy to use them. But they are, like all unionised services, stuck in the 70s. I don't mind paying more. I do mind payi

That's why I differentiated my like and dislike. As a consumer, it's a service I use. I would use anyone who gave me that service and driver-mass. As a citizen of the net, I dislike them for their practices. But to be perfectly ho

I'm not a fan of companies like Uber or AirBnB who attempt a violent takeover of a market. However, as a consumer who needs to get from A to B, or stay at some random city, I find those services invaluable. The black cabs in London are

Well, it's not an official tradition but it's just an acceptable norm to serve Turkish coffee in a glass, and not a mug or china. Personally I find the feel and taste (if that makes sense) of glass superior to mugs/china as f

That's true. Turkish coffee is the most political coffee there is. In Israel, it's a national drink (and referred to as Turkish coffee, no appropriation on that one). However, there is a proper version and a lazy version. The prop

I decline any offer that puts equity instead of pay. Options, equity etc. is worthless. The only way it's statistically worth anything is if it's your business. On a side note, I wish Pud would revive fuckedcompany.com (with the

This is why, for me, VC money is a last resort and an admission of defeat of sorts. If my business cannot be a business, i.e., an entity that earn's it's keep and makes profit, then maybe it's not meant to be. VC money might

This is stark reminder that we should not take our privileges for granted. We don't think about continuous stream of power through our plugs as a privilege (or at all) but it's not trivial, considering so many might have the late
