I would strongly recommend building up a portfolio of cool side projects and making them publicly available on github. I think more and more tech interviewers are starting to look …

Counting cards in poker? Say what? The deck is shuffled between every hand. Unless you're referring to the basic skill of determining odds to make a certain hand based on your hole…

For a product like this, the extra weight is a good thing.

Nit: The first articles in the series came out in 1999, so more like 17 years old :)

I dunno, the classic Sound On Sound "synth secrets" covers all this and more, in a lot more detail IMO http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/allsynthsecrets.htm

Yep, it's closed source. I dream of a day where they open-source it, but IIRC the creator has turned down various monetary offers so as to retain complete control of the game, so i…

Interesting read, thanks for posting this. I was flabbergasted to see that he had only been diving for 4 years when he made the attempt. Two points in this article really rang true…

This is a good step in the right direction, but this piece is still incredibly insensitive. Using words at all is literacy privilege. The author really needs to start thinking abou…

I really want to want one of these but I have no idea what I'd use it for, and not enough space in my euro rack to risk on it. I'm so glad that we live in a universe where this exi…

Seriously. Thanks a lot, jerks. Well, I guess I can cross it off my to-watch list.

It's been said before, but in the opinion of many would-be DF players, it's really the interface that could use a massive amount of love. The ascii graphics may not be your cup of …

This is not sexist. This is anti-his-girlfriend-ist. Some people just love being victims I guess.

This is really cool. Somebody already asked for a reverse button, how about a way to playback the evolutionary history of your biomorph (animated)?

Knowledgeable and cool user name. Approved.

Dolphins aren't pinnipeds. Just sayin'

As far as I understand this article, there's no reason to believe that the signal was of constant amplitude, only that it hit Big Ear's detection threshold when we pointed directly…

Yeah, I was thinking "Isn't that kind of how it already works?"

As an emacs user, I find this post incredibly offensive.

1988?

I believe Ernest Hemingway invented this technique (or the writing equivalent, on which this is based).

Please, this is nonsense. It has to be 12 hours of brown noise, followed by 12 hours of pink noise, followed by 24 hours of white noise. Really, the amount of misinformation around…

Obviously this is true, but rarely do they need help being physically located. If he needs psychological help or emotional support, clearly that is a different matter, and not some…

I don't mean to be callous, but what exactly are you asking for help with? He's not a 4 year old child, he's not an elderly person with dementia. He's a grown man. If he can't be f…

one similarity you called out is "They also share a risk loving profile (though maybe not to quite the same extent)." I don't really follow this. Maybe it's true that engineers in …

a millenium is one thousand years.
