The article references this study: http://www.frbsf.org/economic-research/publications/economic... ... which is based on the rate of response to resumes that were identical except for age, submitted to thousands o

Even "resolutionary"?

I don't know if it qualifies as "good", but the internet has coined a term for it: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wahjah

The accompanying coffee table book is pretty great too.

Bringing up a comment he made on pedophilia and some vague allegations about him inviting young guys into his room is certainly sticking your finger somewhere. But oh, right, other people said those things, not you. You're just reporting, i

Well, they also have the benefit of being compact which can be beneficial in complex audio applications, but I agree that they generally suck and would almost always be better off as a slider.

You mean, for example, using Safari to debug mobile Safari / webview-based apps? That'll get you about 80% there, but environment differences (i.e., memory and processor limitations) on the device and quirky rendering behavior in mobile web

I thought that didn't work on the actual device, which frequently is different enough from the simulator that Catalyst could still be extremely useful. Also, I've never looked into it, but is there any comparable built-in debugging method f

Yup, same here. Still, the overall concept is interesting and potentially useful enough that I'm going to try it out.

I haven't gotten far enough to give a good review, but you do know they have the whole thing online for free as an "Open Feedback Publishing System" project, right? http://ofps.oreilly.com/titles/9781449398583/

You're seriously citing an unsubstantiated article where the central analogy is literally "Apple = Nazis"? I normally skip the Gawker bashing because it's pretty played out by now, but that has got to be one of the worst examples of tech jo

Yeah, that's a super useful program. The feature it's based on was only introduced in iOS 5 ( http://hiediutley.com/2011/11/22/debugging-ios-apps-using-sa... ) .. it would have saved me countless hours of misery over the past couple of ye

I don't think anyone is debating that music can be recorded cheaply, the point is about standup being easier to produce (from a technical perspective), and unless you're thinking of a solo acapella singer, music requires a lot more produc

by noisebleed 15y ago
Sure, the two can be comparable if you're recording a solo accapella 'not much' for a 'decent' sounding album

I'm curious as to why you hold that opinion. It contradicts most things I've witnessed about either artform.

Well, the SD card simply isn't going to happen on any Apple iOS device, but what are your objections to jailbreaking? It's easy and addresses all of your software concerns. Yes of course it would be great not to have to do it at all, but ho

Trent Reznor / Nine Inch Nails has done it several times: http://www.ninremixes.com/multitracks.php Plenty of other artists have as well, but this is the most high profile example I can think of. I agree it would be great if it happened m

Oh, yeah, so it is. I didn't notice initially. Probably explains why I was so reminded. Again though.. I hate to see devs getting screwed over in any context, and I wish Bryan the best, but personally I think he's making his point poorly. A

Somewhat tangental, but this is the second post I've seen here recently that plays up the ".. and this happened on my birthday!" angle ( this being the first: http://lunduke.com/?p=2206 ). I'm extremely sympathetic to anyone who's struggl

Check out Etymotics.. they have a few. I really like my HF3s.

by noisebleed 15y ago
Yeah, I was going to menton Etymotic as well.. easily my favorite in-ear isolating headphones. I have the HF3s and while of course they sound better with an amp (I use a FiiO E7 at home), it's not necessary. I use them without one at work a

Agreed that the title (and opening graphic) are irritatingly sensationalist. Still, a better understanding of the chemical association between event memory and emotion is very interesting. Even if it's not used to develop widely available d

You honestly think they "deliberately break the web browsers in their mobile devices" and are "making it actively difficult for web developers"? Most of my professional work over the last two years has been targeted at mobile webkit, usuall

Agreed, that would be awesome.. though just the fact that the angle of the reflection changes as you move the window around was the 'shut up and take my money' moment for me.

I'm surprised to see so many complaints about the price. I was happy to pay $10 just to reward the effort for such an impressively geeky toy when it first showed up a year ago, even though I've never used it for real work. I will be compl

So, I completely agree with you regarding the observable counterproductive nature of over-restrictive substance laws, but I'm curious why you put "problems" in quotes. I ask because I've seen a tendency in some cultures to feel that alcohol

It's very common to be willfully (as opposed to reflexively, as you would with a friend) nice in the US, though it depends a lot on the context and region. I grew up in the upper midwest, and the politeness there is almost pathological. It

The EFF make it their job to look for issues like this. They were the first place I heard about SOPA and PIPA, and I doubt I'm the only one. I certainly wasn't spending time monitoring congress and reading proposed legislation, and even if

Yeah... trying to update has actually completely screwed up my phone. I can't even get it to restore. edit: finally got it to work again after going through the 'force into restore mode' process about a dozen times.

Interesting.. I had never heard that, or anything about the Steven P. Jobs Foundation at all really. Now I'm curious to see the logo but I'm not having much luck finding it.
