Band is free? How is that possible? Sorry I'm just suspicious of anything that smells like a social network and there's no cost. [Edit] I just went to the Apple App store page and there's a cost for a variety of features.

"This problem (which is the topic of the hit Metallica song “One”) is..." Actually, no. Metallic's song, "One", is based on the novel, "Johnny Got His Gun". I happen to be a fan but it is not that difficul

Years ago (c. early 1980s), a friend of mine who was studying psychology quipped that one of his professors asserted that "70% of people do not engage in introspection". I thought it was a remarkable statement and it certainly res

Looked interesting until it said that I needed to use Chrome + a browser plugin. Not keen on switching browsers.

So being able to read a newspaper will enable you to chat with people whom you're not super close to. Reading and understanding video games & manga is more challenging in that the way the people speak in these situations is much mo

I spent most of my younger years making sure that my family was supported and that my kids could go to university without crushing debt afterwards. Now I try to make sure that when I’m gone, it won’t create too much work for them to clean u

What you say is true. I think the challenge is not only what you say but also what you don’t say or do? In other words, do you say the “right” things, do you go to the same church, the same sports club, and so on. It doesn’t take much for s

If the fascists deem you undesirable, they won’t need your email history. If history is any kind of guide, your neighbors are more likely to identify you to the new regime.

In my case, in order to overlap my company's work hours, I work from about 1500-2300. So when I'm done with work, I basically wash up, brush my teeth and go to bed. I have found that listening to some atmospheric music is usually

It does seem to be an innate part of our behavior. It's interesting because the interviewee strongly suggests that we forgive others when it no longer makes sense to hold a grudge. On the other hand, she also recommends that we cultiva

Also an older dev (56) and I agree with other's comments that learning the myriad FE frameworks feels like chasing my tail. I've carved out a role where I work primarily on the back-end of my company's platform, about 50% cod

Surely there's another factor here, which is indexing that cost to the average monthly income for the associated country.

Very sad to see them shut their doors. When I was writing a blog article on using the Unix command line, they gave me access to their PDP-11 running Version 7 as well as a VAX 11/780 running BSD Unix - completely free. Was a bit of mag

I thought that this app is interesting in part because while it does provide utility as background music, it is also a channel to help drive monetization of the composer's music. The app is free but it requires an existing Apple Music

Actors, in of themselves, are pretty lightweight. The bigger challenge is figuring out how many threads you want to configure to back them. Also, consider that while message passing as an architecture can lend itself to well-structured appl

Whether you are or not, I congratulate you on your achievement. And the fact that you’re posting it on HN definitely counts for extra! Well done!

This seems to be a part of the Google Station project (product?) being shut down world-wide [1]. TBH, while I'm all for projects that provide public uplift, it's clear that Google was never doing this completely out of the goodnes

As several other people have recommended, get a mentor. If it's company large enough that it has managers who primarily talk to other managers, you're not going to be able to figure things out quickly enough to survive in that rol

I agree, this feature is awesome for development. One of the logging platforms we use (PaperTrail) uses a single cookie for connecting to their platform. This in turn, makes it a complete pain if I want to view logs for a dev/staging i

I disagree. I think you have something to write about. Your comment shows this perfectly. And I mean that in all seriousness. Just remember that when you write something, you're making an implicit promise to the reader: I will learn so

That is a great essay. Thank you for sharing. I've worked in tech for quite a while now. I used to buy into the meritocracy cant but as the years wore on, I realized how much bullshit it was. I think the biggest moment came when I star
