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).

*20 sounds ;)

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 foo@3x.png ?

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.

You can write iOS apps without using storyboards or xib files. That's how Apple does it.

The main benefit is that you end-up with no merge conflicts in semi-opaque files.
