Have you tried VUDU? Their HDX stuff looks awesome.

I'm always running Redis and Mongo and Memcache and Postgres and Xcode and the iOS simulator and Mail and Skype and etc... Local server stack + dev tools + collaboration tools, essentially. SSD helps, as swapping fast is better than swappin

What I noticed was that only two or three of them use desktop computers - the rest are on laptops with external displays. No laptop on the market today has enough storage capacity or RAM (save for the MBPs that can take 16GB I suppose) to

This is troublesome for me because I'm around that age and obviously not an entrepreneur or CEO, but rather committed to focusing and deepening my software development skills when I enter the job market in the coming year. I'm really not su

Interesting to hear about the company pursuing royalties for the use of the default sounds that ship with Sony Vegas. I've always wondered what the legal specifics of using the included loops and samples in Logic, Reason etc are, since I he

A relative attended the maritime academy near the inlet in Vallejo. He said they would sometimes see new additions being towed to join the "mothball fleet".

Can't forget Alva Noto + Ryuichi Sakamoto!

Well, the idea of leveraging the power and pragmatism of the JVM using a nice functional language is certainly appealing, and the moments in which it does work it's really nice. Not to mention the pragmatic and mostly idiot-proof approach

The java interop is very verbose and kind of ugly (next to "pure" clojure code anyway) so many clojure wrappers or reimplmentations for existing Java libraries exist. So yes, sometimes it's as simple as extending the wrapper to expose the p

I want very badly to love Clojure and have done my best to try and use it in a number of medium-sized projects composed of several services... unfortunately it seems that deploying JVMs on EC2 (under Ubuntu, anyway) is just not reliable and

An empty plane is pretty light so it burns less fuel, AND because they don't have passengers and cargo counting against their MTOW (maximum takeoff weight) they can take off with more fuel. Most planes don't leave topped-off - they leave wi

Altitude is determined by direction in alternating chunks of 1000ft. So, say, southbound traffic flies at 29000, then 30000 is westbound, 31k north, 32k east, and then 33 is southbound again. So at cruising altitudes every airspace can acco

I can say for sure that iTunes username is not exposed. In fact, they won't even provide an opaque user ID, which makes correlating purchases through in-app purchase with server-side user accounts very frustrating. You can sort of fake it b

I once worked somewhere that had a poster on the wall: "Meetings - none of us is as dumb as all of us." I think it was a good reminder.

The C build pack is awesome. I wonder what the raw performance (CPU and I/O) of Heroku dynos is.

Anything by Alva Noto + Ryuichi Sakamoto puts me all the way in the zone.

That was an incredible read. Thanks for the link.

This is of particular interest to me because I'll be starting my full-time job hunt early next year (or even earlier because I get neurotic about these things), and I really only want to work somewhere that understands the appeal/necessity

This is awesome, but maybe consider persisting some basic parameters in the URL string so that I can bookmark a particular page that I like to check often?

Hmm. I'm inclined to believe this is unfair to people who might be just as competent and productive as those whose work is "out in the open", but can't share or reveal anything for some valid reason. This is common inside the Valley and out

And, even if you get something recorded, mixed, and mastered by really talented independent professionals, the label will sometimes ask you for the stems (or even to re-record certain parts) so they can bring in "their guy" to put "their so

What I wonder is, what role does talent play in this transition? I am a hacker by trade but am always thinking about how to "break in" as an actor and be in movies and on television. A myriad of other challenges (including finding the time

Unfortunately, full-disk encryption absolutely kills SSD performance because it makes the data look random (i.e. incompressible). It will wear out the SSD much faster than using it without would, because the hardware compression unit in the

A few data points: I was told by someone with lots of experience that I worked with for a few years that I should expect $110k when I graduate. Someone I know just left $200k at a multinational megacorp for the same at a 50-person company.

Also, $115k for a senior engineer? Really great "entry level" (i.e. recently graduated but mostly self taught with lots of internships under belt) is going for $110k... most of the "seniors" I know are running $200k plus.

Two thoughts. 1) What is the advantage of 48 small screens over a single, huge, bright downfiring 4K projector? Probably costs about the same... 2) How do I get into working on things like this? I would love to have a lab space where there

This is great news. They have a solid product and I'm glad their success is enabling them to secure funding and bring it to more people. Uber is an example of something you really couldn't bootstrap in your spare time as is popular around h
