Some of the sources are said to be government. That same government is forcing anonymous sources by coming down hard on leakers, both inside and outside. That may or may not be what's happening h…

I took 4 years of German in high school, so I'm no expert, but I do disagree about it making sense any more than any other language. There are at least 3 ways to say "the". Der, die, an…

The Analytics team at my company does this. ETL's we call them (Export, Transform, Load). Some of us are app devs and some are data analysts; there's cross-over. We do other things too, but …

Nope, not at my local theater. I recently went to a small theater to watch a movie. It didn't start. After 10 minutes I went to talk to a manager. They had forgotten to download the licensed movi…

I suspect MacOS will slowly begin to look more like iOS. These apps might be the beginning of the trend.

Some even have engineer in their titles with no degree at all.

I just use my domain providers email forwarding service to forward to Gmail (or whatever) and then change the from and reply to addresses to my domain email address. Should work with just about any se…

I still post my content to my own site. People still see it; mostly finding it through search.

I use it it mountains, much the same way I downshift an old automatic. Mine still down shifts when I'm in manual mode with the pardles, which is kinda annoying.
comment
I dunno... phonebooks we're sorted alphabetically before they were created with computers. That's a single sorted list and not a set of categories. The card sorting is interesting but it see…
comment
I used Libre Office to write a few short eBooks. I found the "flow" of writing in a word processor better for me and it avoided the thought of writing my own tools for the job. I've pub…

I was going to say that they aren't financed by Google, there's just a search contract, but I found this tidbit online... "Historically, search engine royalties have been the main reven…

I checked the Slack status page but it hadn't been updated yet. I thought it was me so I restarted the app and messed with my Wifi a bit. Should have looked here first. :)
comment
The authors complaints about the API are valid and I agree with other posters that we shouldn't rely on a service so much that we are highly impacted when they change it. The rest of this blog po…

I always open Google Maps in this case; not the browser. Just my habit, I suppose.

I didn't realize you could do this on Android until I read this. I've been using DDG on desktop for a year or so. The trick is to visit DDG before you try to change your search engine. Other…

Agreed. I use my own domain and I use my providers email forwarding to a sass email client. If my email provider pisses me off I just change my forwarding to some other provider. I may lose old mail, …

Nah. Bridges burned.

I like the idea of GridBeam for furniture. Break a chair leg, just throw a new one on. Build a crib, convert it to a toddler beb then to twin. Later reformat it into the first chair for the child'…

True, but if you start with an artist I like today, and work backwards through some of her influencers, I'm likely to find I like some of those. Then repeat. I may find myself liking, or at least…

$20 per YEAR Just a note for others who see this comment as high up as I did.

It is a bold claim but I agree. I used a Linux desktop for 10 years after ditching Windows but I was often fighting with it. After that I used a Mac for the last 10 years and things are generally smoo…

When there's money involved? All of them?

I had always assumed this was the case for some songs.

The best thing I ever did was open a second checking account and have my income split. All the money for my bills goes into one account and the money I spend on everything else goes in another account…

I run a simple personal blog. I make a meager $200 a year or so from targetted ads on that blog. I have Adsense and Analytics collecting what they collect. My stats have IP's, countries, browsers…

I agree that it's going to happen with or without Amazon but I'd rather not support this system.
