I could talk about the analog nature of synthesizers, but one of the most important for me is direct and tactile control - basically the knobs. E.g., One of my favs is Moog Sub37 synth http://www.moogmusic.com/products/

Seems that they are using AWS profits to fund other parts of the business. I would guess that would negate any benefits to a spinoff.

If we can go to asteroid, it makes sense to process it locally and ship back what is needed. Assuming that much of what is mined is actually kept in space.

The decade or so long problem is the mix of self-driving cars and those piloted by humans. And yes, the benefits will be obvious.

I think being limited to only square designs is short-sighted. We just don't need a laptop in a small form factor, but a new way of interaction. Hopefully, TTS and ASR with proper dialog management will remove the need to read small me

meh, dirty politics. It is deep in many boards across large companies in the US. Not going to change anytime soon, regardless of consumer action.

And me. I think Dropbox is an essential service. I think of it as a complete product, since when I need a file I go to the directory or the app on my phone. Across all my machines, it just works. If google had their service earlier, I might

Your statement: that more code is being written now is mostly due to the fact that there are many more machines. The population of people that have access to computers is much larger now. If you go back to the 80s, I would wager that the pe

I still use pen and paper for writing (and thinking). Also an old fashioned medium, but also a preference to satisfy my occasional Luddite mindset.

and for kids it is much easier to go off and watch youtube after getting bored while looking for tutorials. I guess the charm and mysticism of machines are also gone to the children of today.

You choose the colors you want to use, but in all reality you will likely never use this esoteric dev environment. As a side, I have seen numerous close-hand disasters in Java and C too. The problem is usually between the keyboard and chair

I have used them for years under their free model. I signed up for 2 years instantly after receiving an email regarding this. In my mind, they have earned it: A great service and free for all these years. I think this is a great way to move

I think the API trend now is here to stay in a large part, but there will always be a place for a complete embedded solution. One embarrassing outage and customers would loose faith in a solution.

You cannot simply move a billion dollars into a single stock that easily. The act of buying a billion dollars of any one company would alter the stock price significantly -- like a buyback.

sounds like a great holiday project! seriously, most of these algorithms are easy to code up in C. Parsing and encoding handling can be tricky. If you stick with latin-1 encoded materials, you should be fine.

exercise and make lists. I love making lists and do so everyday. Mostly they are to do items, but they have longer term items as well. During exercise I review my lists, usually in my head. Not only does my mind feel clear through physical
