He suggests that it might scale logarithmically, not linearly.

The Korg Volca Beats is pretty cheap, $150 iirc. The whole Volca series is very inspired by the Roland TR series.

As a European, the need for this baffles me.

Offices often have caching proxies, right?

I use cmd for meta, there is an option for that:

    (setq mac-option-modifier nil
          mac-command-modifier 'meta)

You can make it so that F-keys are F-keys by default, and the other actions require Fn. It's in the settings.

At Spotify, we have a lot of team-rooms which seat 8-10 people. They all have a lounge area with whiteboard walls as well as a small conference room for design discussions, 1-1:s etc.

Have you tried Rust?

I installed Ubuntu 13.04 on an old LG F1 Express Dual. Everything works, including repeated sleep. Sleep did not work on it with 12.10. It also has two finger scroll with inertia, even on this old craptop.

Because of Visual Studio?

Hmm, I'm pretty sure we've had these features in Scandinavia since Netflix launched here.

Shouldn't it be possible to make the linux kernel behave like this with the swap partition on SSD, to get this benefit for all programs?

The Gothenburg office is also hiring, if you prefer the west coast of Sweden!

If you regularly write in multiple languages, Swiftkey3 is the way to go.

For recommendations, we use our own algorithms. For radio, we use Echonest in some cases, but mostly our own stuff.

Spotify does not use Echonest for recommendations.

The 3.7" 858x480 (240 ppi) 16:9 screen of my Motorola Defy pretty much hits the sweet spot for me.

What's your city and postcode? I can forward it to the devs responsible for the signup page.

Actually, it is now possible to sign up with only email. Not sure if it applies to all markets, but in the US you can.

How about sugar from soda?

It's never to late to start. If you love it'll work out anyway.

I started "programming" at 10, didn't do anything useful until 16-17. I didn't program for real until I was 25, and it wasn't until I was past 30 that I felt like a proper programmer.

I assume it's patented.

Wrapp does this, but with gift certificates. Multiple friends can chip in to the same gift certificate. https://www.wrapp.com/

The lead developer of SDL is now working at Valve, so I guess that is a very likely solution.

Bring up the Unity dash, go to the apps section (icon with ruler/pen), click "See X more results" in the Installed section. You can filter these results on category. Not perfect, but workable.

To get a second instance of the terminal, right click the launcher icon and select "New terminal". Or middle click the launcher icon. Or press ctrl+alt+t.

How can you say that Unity is still crap, if you haven't tried it in 12.04?

The best part about Ikea is the experience when you return something. No fuss, and it's no biggie if you lost the receipt or come after the return period has ended. Awesome customer treatment.

Independent music stores were killed by iTunes Music Store.
