The clothing one "Goodthreads" sounds like sort of a play on their existing GoodReads brand. I'm disappointed there weren't more like this: Slumberyard for pajamas, Fruit 53 for produce, Breadshift for baked goods, etc.

>Not on some random thing the application does (like authentication, CSRF or sending CORS headers). Sending CORS headers isn't "some random thing" though, it's specifically the one thing that stops the security model

I disagree about domain names, but I don't think that's even relevant to this discussion. Do you have some kind of security model in mind that would work better than same-origin policy in this case? I.e. cross-origin requests are

by kyle-rb 7y ago
Modern web browsing provides for this with same-origin policy. Same-origin policy can be negated by the server if it sets an overly lax CORS directive. So this is something that's secure by default, but can be broken if the "rando

Discovery on Spotify isn't terrible, but I think Pandora is just really good at that since that was part of its original purpose with the music genome stuff. Plus it aims for more variety, avoiding playing a single artist too heavily.

Why is 'totalUpToPrevious' better than 'sum' or 'total'? I could see it being good for explaining what a reduce does, but once you know how they work, 'sum' tells you exactly which argument is the acc

Does Slack ever refer to the new logo as an octothorpe? If you read their blog post, they say the old one is an octothorpe, but I don't think they apply any shape name to their new logo. I think it might just be that the author of this
