I have my own personal recordings up there (although they're also on bandcamp and I still have them backed up). I know of a lot of people who use it to host their music. It's not just podcasts and remixes.

I got 11 of 15, but I can only write competently in maybe 4 of them (JS, Java, Python, PHP).

We have a TON of mosquitos in the late spring through late autumn seasons. Those asian tiger mosquitos. They bite all day long. You can't go out and expect to avoid them unless you're doused in Off, and even then it's no guar

This is one person's experience and viewpoint. I've worked remote for the majority of the last 6 years and haven't run into anything like this. Why would you treat working from home any differently than working from the offic

I know people who commit CONSTANTLY. They may not push for a while, so they can end up with a small pull request that has 100+ commits. It has nothing to do with how hard someone works, and more to do with how often they commit. I don'

What's more dangerous, someone saying (potentially tasteless) jokes, or people censoring everything they can deem offensive?

Other people said he seemed agitated and nervous when their dogs were walking about by him. I imagine if a dog just charged at you and was barking/howling while its owner was staring at someone's ass, you'd be on edge for a b

I've been using Mithril for about a year for multiple single-page apps and it's great. I'd definitely recommend it.

This article should just say "do what works for you and keep it to yourself." Why does everyone need to evangelize every single decision?

I'm in a situation now where I was one of the first five (#5, to be precise) employees at a startup. I told them what I needed to get as a salary, and I didn't cut it down for the sake of hoping to cash out later. I got less stock

I never went to SV or the Bay Area for work, instead opting for NYC since I lived nearby anyway (nearby being within 3 hours). It's a similar issue, though. Housing is way too much. Taxes are horrendous. You make a good salary, but the

What _is_ quality, then? I've never heard an objective definition regarding software.

by wambotron 11y ago
You can't really define what quality software is, though. You could have a patched together backend that "just works" and has a great UI that customers love, but how is that "quality" software? The software end of i

I just ordered a few things from Jet.com and it was split into 3 shipments. A shipment of 1 item came within 2 days. A shipment of 3 items is on its way somewhere (although the tracking number gives no real details). The final shipment of 1

I know a lot of people who set their taskbar to the side (specifically the left side). I like it on top myself, but I rarely use the start menu for clicking about. I just use WIN+S and start typing to search for stuff.

Again, this is not startup/bubble-specific. There are unqualified people all over the place.

by wambotron 11y ago
Who cares? If you're not part of the scene there, why does it matter to you? If those people weren't in "silly" startups, they'd probably end up in silly corporate roles. Or even worse, they'd be unemployed and

What does any of that have to do with 'dotcom stuff' or bubbles? People apply to jobs they're unqualified for in every field all the time.

I recently moved from Windows Phone to Android because of the Windows 10 Mobile OS. It was pushed to my phone for some reason and it completely broke wifi calling. Aside from that, the OS itself is now clunky and I think even calling it &qu

I don't think that's accurate (or fair, really). Jquery was one in a list of dozens of libraries that did similar things at that time, but ajax/interactivity had been part of the web mindset for years before jquery existed. J

I own a Nokia Lumia Icon (Verizon) and a Microsoft Lumia 640 (T-Mobile). The Icon was bought on a plan and was $199 subsidized. The 640 was bought off-contract for $99. I believe the Icon was selling for around $700 off-contract. I've

There's a ton of fear-mongering going on in these comments. It's depressing.

I worked at two places where people had resumegasms over "brand name" schools. Neither of them hired anyone who was ever any better than completely average (and yes, I include myself). I don't really care where anyone went to

It sounds like you might've come from the exact opposite place, where you were never teased or taught not to take yourself seriously. My family bonds over constantly harassing each other. No one takes it seriously and we're all be

I'm using Mithril because of how easy it is to look over the source. I didn't want to have another framework with a huge learning curve (even for senior devs) like Angular. It's well documented, and you can read the entire Mi

Pop music from 1959 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGgaZZl_GVg Pop music is stupid because it's catchy. It's always been that way, always will be.

I initially thought the guy was going to talk about being mistaken for an Arab, but I can see the black angle, too.

Oh, yeah, I didn't mean WP would take over. I do think WP will take a bigger chunk of the market and will be around for the long haul, though. By cyclical, I meant the "cool" factor of companies. I'm sure many people her

I loooooooove my Windows Phone. Seriously. Everyone stares at me as if I'm some sort of mutant when I tell them that I am a developer and I still love WP, but it's true. I have used iOS, BB, Android, but none of them compare to WP
