A rule of thumb is that if you're not embarrassed, you released too late. Human tendency is to want to dot every i and cross every t, but too often that leads to never releasing. I appreciate that you released when you did. It's l

"prohihited" implies an official rule enforced by the community organizers. Downvotes are an expression of opinion by community members.

You've gotta have some kind of secret sauce if text or recordings produces the same or better output than real conversation. I haven't seen it happen, though I'd love it if I did.

It's interesting, there was a recent post here on HN that described a Chinese bus service that accepted route suggestions and had people vote on them. With a significant claim being they could stand up a new route in 3 days. The commen

Part of it is, if anything can be taken slightly out of context to imply something discriminatory, there are those who will abuse the system and sue. At a large enough scale this can become a real problem. If the company policy is "nev

These statements were true of the Internet too. Until it wasn't. It'll be a slow burn and then one day you turn around and notice it's everywhere. Even post dotcom bust there was still this generally shared understanding that

I appreciated this, though I see a number of others here did not. There's more to this than merely "notebook good". It's interesting to view how a child relates to a notebook through the lens of a parent trying to make i

Ah, I see, I thought the last sentence in your original post was making a comment more generally, not still tied to the classroom setting. Sorry.

Whether or not it's true aside, why people decide to do something and why they say something is being done don't have to match.

Well, there are many ways to learn about things, there's no "have to" about it. Learning principles in the context of a language is learning in the context of application rather than pure theory. For some, this helps ground i

This seems like a set of well balanced, if not comprehensive, principles behind how people interact. Even if it's not complete, I think it can still be helpful. There's a lot here that resonates with me, but only in hindsight. I s

Of the things that can expand your problem solving skills as a programmer, learning a language that's extremely unlike languages you already know is extremely powerful. It gives you new ways to think about problems, even if you never t

Visual coding as domain stuff DSL has seen success in a variety of areas, as others have given examples to. It's general purpose programming where it's yet to really succeed.

That's more or less how it works. Knowing what 50hz is and how out of sync a generator is is easy. AFAIK, the problem is one of inertia, both electrical and mechanical. A generator is a spinning mass, the more load on the generator, th

If you aren't aware of it, check out Rocksmith (2014), it's guitar hero using a real guitar (or bass) that is designed with learning in mind. There's a newer edition, but the older one is a better experience in my opinion.

I'd say it's not natural to check for the correct part that has been given to you by an authority that claims to have done so, but a learned problem solving technique.

Tangentially related: You can play around with analog programming of a sort with modular synthesizers. It's a pretty neat way to dip your toe into analog signal processing.
