yeah, I agree. It feels pretty rough to me. On older feature phones, you could accelerate this with a right arrow key which would lock to the key for key duplicates like 'cc' in success. Definitely feels like this needs a dedicate

Just tried it out, how do you accelerate disambiguating a double key 'nn' in 'dinner' vs alternate? This doesn't feel very usable compared to the existing keyboard to me

Perhaps I’m an outlier here, but doesn’t this feel a bit exaggerated? I’m not sure why the author (or, for that matter HN in general) feels so strongly about this. In the end, everyone was made whole. VCs acted in the best interest of the c

if you're into this I highly recommend checking out Bob Grieb's work[1]. He has reversed MCUs on many vintage synths and has a website dedicated to his explorations. Really impressive stuff... [1] http://tauntek.com&#x2F

Disagree hard - every major label I follow is embracing TikTok and encouraging their artists to leverage the platform for growth. Also, labels have so much infrastructure for marketing, merch, booking shows etc. The need for this support do

I think this piece is really about identity, and what happens when you establish and associate so deeply with an identity that when something challenges it (e.g. the passing of a job opportunity) it turns your world upside down. The author

The DX7 can lay claim to being one of the most important advances in the history of modern popular music. Perhaps not since Leo Fender attached a pick-up to a six-string in 1949 Statements like this are, exaggerated, to say the least. Whi

Yeah, this is spot on. The plethora of great VSTs out there makes it hard as an artist to choose a tool. You can easily get stuck in ‘preset surfing’ mode where you quickly realize you’ve spent an hour not really making anything. For me it

Most were looking for exactly one type with one set of experiences. Anything outside of that and you are filtered out. In my experience this rings true for senior roles and less so for new college grads. Companies seem afraid to hire thi

But it wasn't the fragmented Android that caused this bug... The article acknowledges that the root cause was an existing bug in Package Manager.

One instruction is not being executed against multiple registers, it's that the same 128bit register range can used as q, d, or s registers depending on the which instructions you're executing

Even though the bytecode is being executed on a VM, the VM itself has been ported to the architecture, which has a native endianness. Byte order in the dex that matches the host OS's will likely result in a performance gain as the VM c

Check out chapter 10 of the Definitive Guide to ARM [1]. It's not a guide, but the best resource I found in regards to OS support on the platform. 1. http://books.google.com/books?id=5OZblBzjsJ0C&pg=PA181&lpg=P.

No, I think the point is that your mind interprets the universe as spinning when you stop twirling. This is just an interpretation, as is the flow of time.

Another great hardware platform, the Jetson TK1. Much more capable than the Pi (I can't speak on the BeagleBone), and even though it's new it has great software support (OpenGL, OpenCV, CUDA). http://elinux.org/Jet

It wasn't (initially) clear to me that the cylindrical hole must enter and exit the sphere. With that knowledge the solution seems pretty intuitive.

I'm honestly surprised it's taken this long for the auto industry to adopt mobile platforms as part of the in-car experience. This is a great move though, hopefully it will force other manufacturers to dump their lacking proprieta

This is ridiculous. How exactly does Snapchat plan on profiting from their user base if they have yet to have proven a revenue model? Sure, advertisements seem like the end game, but how will they be targeted? How can they be implemented wi

Who ever said optimization and readability were mutually exclusive? If the engineer who develops this (provably optimized) codebase can't read the code, he/she should be replaced with someone who can.
