A company I worked for defined big data as anything not analyzable with a relational database - a PDF or video was big data. Companies say they want the latest buzzword even though it’s against their own interest and other companies say “we

My understanding is that Stripe offers UI to sign up for a subscription, but then offers only an API for other subscription actions such as changing from monthly to yearly or cancelling. Someone have a link describing Stripe's comprehe

Speaking of shame: Many people in the Bay Area blame tech workers for their woes. A friend of mine, an engineer at Google, also believes this and feels much shame. If they can focus on what others are doing wrong it makes them feel a little

To clarify, I manage my notifications. I was referring to when pairing with people on their computer.

When pairing I’m annoyed when a non-urgent IM or email notification pops up and I lose my pair’s focus. Some folks have their text messages and social media notifications popping up too, preventing concentration for more than a few minutes.

Almost all media coverage about my community seems to say “look, there’s this weird thing going on, isn’t that weird?!” I believe any short-form coverage of a community by someone not in that community and for people not in that community c
