If Rick Rubin could take a tape to his car to listen to his mixes, your product people can try their websites on £20 phones from Tesco. They can ask to sit in on user tests with minority groups. Extending your knowledge like this is trivial

I'm the wrong kind of engineer to work it out, but I'd be interested to know what the implications for the strength of the cable and specifications for the winch would be for a heavy cargo glider. Thinking on, specifying the weak

The neat thing about Go is that, whilst the winning strategy is exactly to think ahead and enumerate all possible positions, to do so is impossible. (Even the superhuman AI fudge it. They can just read farther ahead than humans.) So to do w

Happiness as the default state has nothing to do with being happy all the time. Perhaps you need to refine your understanding of “default”.

I guess this is a similar idea to the Peterson Strobe tuner? I think they have a rotating object which presents dark and light regions at the chosen frequency, which is a similar idea to building a visualisation on a set of samples whose le

I see. Was there an example of that in the video? Perhaps I missed it. In what way does the visualisation vary when the note is not in tune? How does the visualisation indicate flat or sharp?

This is an interesting project. It isn’t immediately obvious to me how the visualisations aid the tuning process. Please can you say a little more about how you expect a user to interpret those as they perform tuning work?

Glad to see someone else giving Socotra a shout. Fascinating place.

I think a company is small whilst all the employees could conceivably fit into a house party. That is perhaps a better metric here in the UK where there are fewer colossal houses. But hopefully you get the idea.

Some experiments by a colleague a few years ago indicated 700Hz might be the limit. Will take some verification, obvs.

Should "Relying" in the article be "Relaying"? Or is it "relying" on the external auth? If the latter, it's a form of English I've never seen before.

I do have big hands. And the 13 mini is the best phone for me. If I upgrade soon, it’s going to be a refurb 13 mini with more storage and (hopefully) a newer battery.

This is all I want from my next phone.

My company had a similar policy. The rate of people leaving went up and up. Eventually a new senior leader go HR to do their maths properly, and the “ranges” for many salaries increased by 30-70%. And everyone got increases to match. We’re

That was not how I interpreted the results. Nor the discussion elsewhere on this page where some people included skateboards and bicycles under "vehicle" and some did not.

Wasn't the point of the experiment not that you could come up with answers that seemed sensible to you, but that different people came up with different answers that seemed sensible to them? I too felt the line was fairly clear in this

This is a definite enhancement over my existing “big pile o scripts” directory. I plan to dig in later and find out if different scripts can run in different pyenv virtualenvs.

Mine too! I was drawing the comparison between the two schools of thought using an example. I imagine, but don’t have any evidence, that the absolute scale dominates culturally in Japan, and the relative scale in the west.

I mean, how else would you distinguish that restaurant from "Food was sublime, service ranged from movie-star charm to invisibly dealing with my every need, payment was waived in favour of a small donation to my favourite cat charity.

The idea is somewhat persistent amongst beginners though, whether sources agree or not. I guess that’s a problem of community-lead learning, instead of instructor-lead.

In his books, Heisig recommends learning all the joyo kanji before anything else. It's what his books are for, so it isn't a surprise, but perhaps that's where the idea that it's useful to do so came from.

I LOVED Jet Grind Radio (Jet Set Radio here in the UK). That combo gameplay of doing cool tricks while completing the course was seriously addictive. Trickstyle did a vaguely similar thing - still doing cool tricks, but replace graffiti wit

I would have classified it as a "simulation". Which is what the author calls it, but then tries to find other things to call it too. Simulation is fine.

If it’s detected my location correctly, it would be $7.50 a month. Colour me much-less-interested as a result of shenanigans-based pricing.

The listed price for the lowest tier is $132 per year, which is around $11 per month. What’s the $6.25 option?
