Yes... but if you're a good engineer, why would you work with shitty tools? All things being equal, why would you choose to work with tools you find frustrating when you can work with tools you like? That's the point: tools matter

I watched the Godfather when I was 13, and I thought it was a movie about criminals and not a good one at that. I watched it at 33 and realized it's the best movie about family ever made.

I experienced this at a network ad agency office I worked for in 2010. Financial crisis of 2008, massive cuts, layoffs, etc. Everybody who was a go getter with qualifications took off, leaving the bottom barrel people at their posts. Since

I saw something like that just a few months ago. A mod who'd gone offline decided to come back and was angry that nobody knew who he was and that we have our own private in-jokes and way of doing things. It was like having a friend com

You could also make the argument that publishers are getting pennies for those ads because they're running thirty of them on a page. I've done tons of ad work online, many specs have limits on how taxing the ads can be for the end

Something that shouldn't be ignored is how many publishers have burned themselves by taking advantage of the technical aspects of online publishing to sell dozens of ads where print media would have sold one. It's enough to compa

It's amazing how little it takes to create divisions and how long it takes to reunite. I assume that the Koreas are looking at Germany's reunification long and hard, and I imagine they are scared shitless.

The iPhone 5 is fully supported under iOS 8.1, as far as what is technically possible (no touchID, for example). Find out which flagship Android phones have an official 5.0 ROM and let us know.

The lipid hypothesis did it. The idea that fat and dietary cholesterol cause obesity and heart disease. Here in Poland there are still many dishes that require lard as a cooking oil - "chrust" or angel wings, a friend pastry known

The thing about these bikes is that they're bikes you can take out to a DH race and win on. They are the F1s of cycling. I think the most expensive DH bikes top out at $10-15k. It always bugs me when amateurs look at professional equip

I firmly believe markets should be regulated for competition. I'm sure there are examples of companies merging and creating an improved experience for their customers, but I can't think of any. On the other hand, I can list half

I currently live in Poland and have lots of family here. One of my cousins is an alcoholic in recovery and whenever his family has a party he leaves the house. It's just easier for them to not be there.

My reply was a bit of a joke, because while in Europe it's normal to earn royalties off radio play (especially from businesses that play the radio), it's not an accepted practice in the US. Artists in the US don't make any mo

Honestly, I'm a bit amazed. HN was falling over itself talking about fresh $5 sourdough loafs (which are about $1 at my local bakery) and a piece of high quality software gets heeing and hawing at $20?
