Spotify gave up on caring about their users a few years ago, I think. I uninstalled after the app forced the "DJ fade in / fade out" between every track -- including between movements of Beethoven's symphonies. (No, the

Here's what's really wrong with employee engagement surveys: 1. Your relationship with your family is more important than any relationship at work. 2. For the vast majority of people, their current job may be a potential route to

I wonder what it would take to get similar offerings to compete with American fast food? Now I'm hungry and there's no Japanese food anywhere near me.

Actually, the guy got punched for insulting someone. He went on to talk about how in New York there would have likely been some warning first. So yeah, insults and name-calling comes with immediate consequences in real life. I think that&#x

Reminds me of a New York comedian I heard who said something like, "I discovered that in the South, guys don't give any warning before they punch you." It is like that where I grew up in the Midwest, too. Knowing that there

It takes a special sort of villainy to steal a time capsule, hoarding for yourself alone what was intended to be a gift from one generation to another.

I know that writing good documentation is hard, and that a lot of devs don't like to do it, but I completely agree with TFA. If the project isn't worth the time to document properly, it's self-announcing that it isn't wo

I gave up on piano when I was eight, but I have played the tenor sax since I was 10 years old and bass guitar since I was 14. It's been many years since I got to the point where I could play by ear. I guess after enough practice you ju

It's happening throughout the West with access to rivers and lakes that billionaires have "purchased." It is definitely a cancer since it weakens the idea that some real estate is public domain. (And I'm an unironic capi

Well, not everyone knows that hilarious apocryphal story from the disastrous honeymoon of Ernest Borgnine and Ethel Merman, so you might be overestimating the audience. I do know the story, but still think of cookware first. But I'm fr

Wow, apparently he designed this when he was only 14 years old, and it was good enough to go undetected for another 14 years. Yet another example of why locking down open ports should be taken seriously.

As a native English speaker who studied German, Russian, and Polish, German was much easier to learn than the Slavic languages. The case system is smaller than Russian or Polish, and there are far more cognates which makes learning vocabu

I wonder if Google will split in two as well. TFA refers to the internal controversy over their willingness to censor in order to please the Chinese government. Unsurprising, but only time will tell if it will be profitable.
