I believe that Zed was striving for Zen in his post. As a college student and someone who read LPTHW, I'm quite happy to see this entry. I have seen the negative attitudes of many self-ascribed "programmers" in the CS department at my Univ

Google is pretty ballsy. After their Safari tracking system fiasco they announce this: the ultimate form of tracking. It shouldn't come as a surprise that Google would make this considering the rest of their products. I love Google and thei

Other than the Google logo in the bottom left hand corner, Google has done a great job of taking the back seat on development. You can pretty much make a map that looks like it's completely void of the Google family. When creating a mapping

"This knowledge isn’t superficial in a survey-course sense: It is about both deep structure and practical applications. Knowing about, in this sense, is crucial to understanding a new problem and what must be learned in more depth in order

Very true, untog. I just feel like Spotify should try and make that uphill climb.

Making money in music today's music industry is absurd. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if major record labels vanished in the next 100 years. You'd imagine a band that's put out a record on a successful label and toured the world multiple

Great advice, Alf. I find this quite interesting because it deviates from what I thought Hemingway's Trick would have been: be a ruthless bastard. The real Hemingway Trick definitely has its benefits because it lets your algorithm/design/id
