Yeah, bots were my first thought. Run any decent sized fb group and you'll realise just how many there are, then realise you're probably only seeing a small cross section. I would say thousands new every day. I saw a friend having

I know a few people who do this, too. They're almost invariably awful about it and completely convinced they're on the "right track" over people actually writing code, too..

Yeah, like.. scorchingly atypical. How many of these jobs are there that all 100 of your peers had a similar experience?

Yes, I go to a few underground dance parties a year and it would be a lot harder to find those events (let alone discern which ones I'd prefer to attend, who of my friends will be there, etc) without the networks I have on FB.

..which seems altogether too fitting.

Thanks for the heads up on Electron - I was going to look into onboarding this for our team until that. We have more than enough in the way of crufty crapplications already.

Giphy is mostly used to host content to be posted on third party sites. An upload app would be useful but by no means crucial, and nowhere near as trafficked as the content itself.

Very true - but I don't think invasion is the same as peaceful immigration.

Australian here. Can you clarify what is meant by this?

Do you really mean to say you write songs without using any theory or explicitly sought knowledge whatsoever? Let's hear one.

I feel like you're implying that would be a bad thing when it could actually be preferable. I don't think MS is faultless or anything, but I'd be surprised if they could make themselves as much of a pain as Adobe does (especi

That's addressed several times in the article, and the answer is yes, we're not immune to this. Calling things a fad disorder is a bit dismissive, though. They're consistently at pains to point out that whatever the person i

Technically such a person should be called a cracker, no? A hacker is just someone who hacks on things. Where is this pop definition from?

They're not very wealthy if they haven't attended the college and earned a lifetime's worth of money yet, though. And if they do go on to do so, they will (or should, rather) pay more tax than the people who subsidised them a

Weird. What practical purpose does this serve? Do we know what lead to this policy becoming commonplace?

18 times is.. not that many. But hey, I just upvoted it, here's a comment to prove my authenticity.

This may be the case in Melbourne - in Sydney cops aggressively breath test anyone who looks "suspect" (eg. P plates, any visible modifications, male w/ long hair, athletic wear) or who is "the right person at the right

Haven't caught an Uber in Melbourne, but I've caught both cabs and Ubers in Sydney and aside from a few dollars extra a fare and maybe a more service-y vibe in cabs, I've hardly noticed a difference. My Melbourne cab experien

Well, there's only one way to change that.. I can hardly name one person I know IRL who hasn't copped an Uber rant from me :)

by eon1 9y ago
How so? If I book a taxi and then don't show up they can't charge me a thing. Quite the opposite, they send me a text saying "driver couldn't find you, reply YES if you still need a cab".

Kind of a nitpick, but electronic != EDM.
