Hi HN,

I made Neuron because as it took me two months to really have fun playing piano. Two months is too long for most people, but I suspect almost everyone would enjoy having fun with music. So I built a way for people who know nothing to express themselves musically. You don't have to learn anything to have fun with Neuron.

Every month the loops will refresh, guaranteeing that as I get better at producing the quality of Neuron will rise as well.

I wrote a little bit more than this on Medium, read that here: https://medium.com/@Jackrometty/neuron-68014073c2af#.7kjxhvu...

Also, I'm a new developer so this was actually a big project for me. I imagine HN will relate more than twitter when I say I had trouble learning CORS and understand requests better so I could link a simple database to github pages. I appreciate any feedback. :)

Awesome! Can't wait to try it out in a few months :)

hey Mark! how transparent do you want Fullstack to be? do you plan on disclosing graduation rates/standards and placement information?

don't count yourself out yet! art is expression, and i'd bet you are good at some form of self-expression, even if you don't really think of it that way.

This might sound hilarious, but I've always used Frank Ocean's Channel Orange as coding music.

i'd like to leave a quick note: i'm by no means a writer. CS is my discipline. i wrote this to better understand my own feelings about someone i know being diagnosed with cancer.

edit: posting here because maybe someone in the same position will find value in it.

What's great about Blue Origins long term is the frequency of launches. Blue Origins will be launching a rocket every day years before SpaceX will, because of obvious differences in rocket magnitude and mission.

There's a fair amount of boilerplate that comes with launching a rocket. From the command terminals (and associated IRL command structure) to the pod's parachute and rocket assisted landing , all components will be used and tested A LOT thanks to Blue Origins' strategy.

Assuming Blue Origins learns as much as possible and iterates on any sliver of weakness, we as a planet can be far more confident in the human carrying structures that are used to transport space-to-surface. SpaceX undeniably has more impactful and impressive rocket technology, but I'll always respect the lower level work Blue Origins is focusing on.

Space is really, really, really hard. Everyone wants to go up, I enjoy how much Blue Origins wants to come back down. :)

very functional

thanks!

This is awesome. Where can I learn more about YCR? That's the slice of YC I'm most excited about :)

I encourage everyone with unanswered questions to participate in Product Hunt's LIVE chat. If you feel like a point wasn't adequately covered, drop by and ask Product Hunt's team directly. (link is from the article) https://www.producthunt.com/live/product-hunt-team

I have been searching for the true successor to AOE2 for so long. I can't wait to try this out!

Testing susceptibility to peer pressure in an individual mind is very a interesting idea.

Unfortunately, we can't accurately test it _yet_. A huge amount of data and tests -along with massive improvements in the understanding of the human brain- would be required to make a complete snapshot, without which testing isn't possible. We can't eve be sure this theoretical test is possible.

This alone wouldn't prove that their hands are clean, just that they wouldn't be as much to blame as someone who didn't succumb to social pressures and had more of a choice in the matter.

Thank you! This is reallyl cool. :)

The links are amazing. I just spent a bit of time looking through most items and figuring out how they are used. I guess I like this kind of stuff.

What's the most common reason to fail a whistle test? If a real life "whistle test" situation were to occur and everyone let go without being 100% secure, what would happen? how many people would fall?

This idea is really interesting to me, but I'm not sure why.

that looks terrible.

my favorite part of tweetstorms is the compartmentalization of ideas and arguments. if a point in the story is 50 chars, its 50 chars with a break point. if its 100, let it be 100. making the story one string feel like reading long text, whereas breaking it down feels more comfortable to me.

but this is all subjective, and that website's design is pretty sleek :)

i feel the exact same. this feels like something that would make most economists tear hair out.

my school server redirected me because "the site you are trying to enter is infected with malware."

we don't know wether the teacher made the bad call. (s)he could have updated the principal to ask if it's ok to demo electronics projects in a K-5, only to have the principal think it's a bomb. let's trust everyone until they give a reason not to.

Theres already 7 new frameworks to learn by the time 1.0 is released.

nope :)

how did you get started?

Even better, the data is recorded in a central database where you can be compared to all other users. If an anomaly occur, doctors (who will have access to the info from the start) will be notified and be able to call the shots with the benefit of data.

Edit: rereading your answer, you might have less explicitly said this.

What I took from that line is that we need a regulatory power and that our current best option is the US government. SMI without regulation is impermissible. I don't like opening the regulation from within the U.S. Government, but I dislike other options more.

Its not just twitter. Trolling is a problem that afflicts a majority of internet services. I commend their attempt to reduce the issue without reducing mass user freedom, even if their proposal isn't a perfect fix.

Its cool, but the bar to enter is a bit higher than twitch. Ill give it a shot though.
