There was an easter egg in Windows 95 for clouds.mid.[1] You had to create a folder and rename it a few times, and then it would play the song[2]. Even hearing it now takes me back to a simpler time... [1] https://www.mentalfloss

The vowel shift is one of the major reasons why Shakespeare's poetry doesn't rhyme when spoken with modern English. There was a rather fascinating video that went around awhile back of a father and son demonstrating the changes.[1

For what it's worth, Tidal pays its artists a whole lot more per stream than Spotify does.[1] That's the main reason I'm subscribed to Tidal. [1] https://www.dittomusic.com/blog/how-much-do-music-streamin

I run Snapcast across my house connected to MPD running on a local Linux box, and have been pretty happy with it. I've had to do very little maintenance to keep things running. The main thing I haven't been able to figure out is h

Have you looked at Hanami? https://hanamirb.org/ I'm in the same boat about RoR. I just find its size to be overkill for most uses. Hanami is considerably smaller and lightweight, but not to the point where it's m

There's also the Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum outside of Tokyo[1] (in Koganei, not the one in Ryogoku) that has some three dozen buildings that have been moved there. They go back as far as the Edo period. Well worth the tim

I'm on a team that started doing Scrum a few months ago, and we're still figuring it out. To be clear: are you saying that the one team that did Scrum well did so because they spent more time on the process? Reading what you wrote

Yeah, Jira is horrible. Between the workflows, search filters (create one, apply it to a board, but then you can't edit it?) and everything else, it's really clunky to use. I've done test runs with other tracking software, an

Cyan also put out a game called Obduction a little over a year ago that's very much in the same vein as Myst (the Wikipedia article calls it a spiritual successor), only updated to fit the current times. It's really well done, and

For what it's worth, there are some fan cuts of the Hobbit movies that remove all the superfluous stuff and make it much closer to the book. Worth looking up.

Can't speak for the parent poster, but over here, yes, we use Consul's ACL. It's pretty solid and easy to use, and the GUI helps a whole lot. In terms of auditing, I've not dug too deeply into that, but there is really g

Sure. It was a sense of arrogance and inflated ego more than anything else. Just because you went through ten weeks of boot camp doesn't mean that you're a master at your craft. Huge mistakes were made left and right without any s

At a previous job, we hired two people from General Assembly. One was decent; the other far less so. Admittedly, the hire that was less useful had other issues in terms of attitude, which perhaps we should have caught during the interview p

Because developing sites that work only in Chrome is similar to how sites used to be tailored to IE users. If we're all about interoperability and openness, having something that only works for one subset of users isn't all that open. http

My employer also uses TriNet. We switched from ADP at the beginning of this year, and it's been a much better experience. They just seem to be more on top of things and can get us actual answers when we have questions. Their website for emp
