Back in about 2007-2008 sometime I was given an invite to Spotify, when it was still very much in stealth mode. In Stockholm at the time it was the talk of the town in hip web agency circles, and the question of why it wasn't a publicl

I worked there around the same time as you and I thought it felt pretty cramped by then already, but nowadays when I end up in that area I almost feel claustrophobic. The city skyline has really changed massively over the past decade..

Sadly no, but good effort! What you wrote would literally translate to "Silence your of Sweden". If you want hush, I'd probably use "tyst" instead of "tig" as the former is more colloquial. If you squint a

The article says she was asked what song is commonly sung on midsummer's eve in Sweden. She became uncertain, so the embassy person started singing "Små grodorna" and she felt compelled to sing along. Nowhere in the article d

This sounds like an interesting experiment, do you have a repo or anything one could follow?

I would absolutely buy a set for the tower. Like you I bought and built the rocket, and have it on display in my apartment, but having it stand vertically next to a tower would be so much cooler than the little stilts it's on right now

Oh there's been LEGO on here before alright: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14253672 I bought that set and loved every minute of building it. Highly recommended!

Haha, I'm sorry – I didn't mean to sound accusatory or anything like that. Text based communication can be tricky! :o) I very much appreciate the comparison! Also, many thanks for the link and Apache Drill mention, will definitely

That's a really nice link, thanks for sharing! I made another purchase with the seller that I mentioned in my comment about the "accidental" purchase and verified that the shipping address was not part of the pay sheet, the w

I don't think I've ever made a card purchase online where I wasn't able to specify a different shipping address than the billing address.

Absolutely. The purchase I made was some time ago so I had forgotten about the side button double-click which seems to be a requirement to approve the purchase. Being reminded of this makes the whole "butt purchase" explanation mu

You're right about the passcode/fingerprint/face id authorization step – I think I forgot about that because double tapping the side button to approve is a simple and pretty forgettable action. This makes me think the whole &

Absolutely agree regarding difference in approach – and I'm by no means suggesting that yours is in any way worse! In fact, I believe yours is much, much better given the more general use cases it supports. Ours is inherently stateful

Yes, it's even described in the book and used as a clever trick to suggest it's ancient wisdom.

The exception to this is customized goods, say for example a custom made piece of furniture or jewelry. I think even stuff like engraving counts as custom made.

This is how I approach any serious business deals – put up or shut up. Either you agree to this kind of deal or you pull out. Either one is fine, but make it clear.

Right, but at the same time what Carmack considers quality code may well be considered low quality by non-game devs because it's too complex, too magical, not documented enough or whatever. Context matters; some code is one game develo

Are these tags connected to a network? In that case I can definitely see the appeal for chain stores where you need consistent prices across stores in multiple cities. Set the price centrally, and have it come through everywhere without the
