Try MyNoise. I used to build their app, if you can spot a single loop you have superhuman hearing.

When this happens to me, it’s mostly because my code is written with too coarse separation of concerns, or I am just mixing layers

Exactly why IMHO the rust stdlib is so easy to understand. Ownership only when required as a design principle tends to make the design of the overall system more consistent / easier to approach.

I was involved with the London esports scene from 2010 to 2014, running events that would gather up to 500 people for blizzard and valve games.

I left the scene because I could not morally justify the exploitation of the majority of the talent. I hoped that the younger guys would be finding a way to make it work for the majority but it still irks me how many years have been wasted by young adults on a wild goose chase. Some very few were able to make a living out of it and deserve 100% what they pulled, but man, what a churn in that industry.

Devastated that TB / Odee didn't get to manifest a vision for player's union. That would have made a difference.

Hi, do you know if there's a recent hash benchmark I can look into? I am using `FnvHash` as my go-to non-crypto-secure hash for performance reason, didn't realise there could be faster contenders.

Thanks!

So... Green threads are back?

I wholeheartedly agree - I am working on a very technical new build at the moment and cannot listen to music when coding for it, but when I switch to maintaining stuff, I reach-out for my headphones.

been bit by another audio engine that had the same license and pulled a bait and switch. No thanks.

Topre, my dude!

App dev here: There' a starcraft generator in progress. Lots of mx browns, a topre, mouse clicks galore and even a "stim is OP" track :)

Fun fact: the myNoise app exists thanks to a meeting of minds on HN.

Although I do wish the Android app was a bit better, quite proud of our babies!

(rewriting in a single unified app using Rust / Xamarin RN)

`SmallVec` allocates a contiguous array in the struct holding the vector itself (so it can be located on the stack), then if the capacity is insufficent, fallbacks to a heap-allocated `Vec` equivalent.

The `Vec` struct contains the capacity and used length integers, as well as a pointer to the heap-allocated storage.

There's a new feature where you can now build your own generator by cherry-picking stems from the entire catalog (192 generators as of last week's count).

I am an engineer. I used to be married to a dancer.

Sure Cortana, sure...

As far as I am concerned, all of the BCL has pretty much been 'open source' since Reflector came around in 200..2?

Try Chocolat then. It's not OSS and pretty close.

But I won't be using Chocolat anymore, after they pulled a bait-and-switch so that Version 2 can't be used without you paying for version 3.

Bad dev, no cookie.

Just looking at my uber rides, I am pretty certain Uber could already infer some interesting facts about my life.

Cross-referencing with geo-data, time, and weekly occurences, I am pretty sure Uber could infer who's in my social circle, and under which category (coworker, wife, arm-candy...)

The day Uber links its userbase with Facebook we are doomed.

Ok, this list is bull, doesn't apply to .Net, one could read books about Java and end-up with the same knowledge in the end.

CLR through C# is really more important for my field.

Disclaimer: I am writing their iOS app.

That said, these are some really nice soundscapes!

Databinding in WPF when you're not using INPC

I often write stuff like this:

public RxProperty<bool> IsFoo{get;private set;}

I could do without the private set.

I misread and was really wondering what the Met Police would do with a GBP 97M supercomputer.

I always have a look at CityDashboard : http://citydashboard.org/london/

It's got a bit more than just twitter feelz. Mostly Boris Bike usage rate :D

I would just like to point-out that there's incredible phishing opportunities with this. The page asks for iCloud username + password, and is a 'hot' news topic.

I haven't had the time to look at the docs but shall I start shipping art assets as [email protected] ?

Dwarf Fortress does.

Ex Apple employees on the 'Edge Cases Podcast' - xib files were extremely brittle initially. Merging conflicts would be impossible to handle without dedicated tooling.

I use a 2008 15'' MBP, replacing the superdrive with an optibay + SSD and rolling-out my own fusion drive extended the lifespan of this machine to no ends.

I am just slowly starting to consider getting another laptop in 2015, but the fact that the new line of MBP adhere to the soldered-on-and-force-obsolescence philosophy is really putting me off this purchase.
