The only issue I have with Chinese students is how acceptable cheating seems to be in their culture. Obviously this isn't true for all Chinese students, but it is wide spread enough that my parents (Professors who teach grad classes in

"At times the book would wash up on the beach of my life and I would hear the bottled voice of its djinn, promising everlasting bliss to puzzle hermits, inexhaustible cred to know-it-alls. I always forebore." I may be in the minor

Caveat Ruby's advances features seem to be designed to make code less readable sometimes.

Sure self explanatory code is the goal. But in the real world this is never entirely possible. File parsing for example. Without seeing the file being parsed it can be very hard to interpret the code parsing it. Or maybe you are interacting

Thanks, to me the article wasn't clear on whether the machine was built for historical reasons, or whether it had modern uses. I agree that it seems restrictive to limit synths to discrete notes (like playing guitar without bends) alth

1.) Comment! Not only does it make the code easier to interpret, but it can also bring logic errors to light as you think through why you implemented something in a specific fashion. 2.) If the language supports error handling (try catch&#x

Could someone explain to me what the creative advantage of this is? Particularly over a computer? I don't have a background in electronic music, so maybe I am missing something?

I am with you 100 percent. I would say that one of the primary examples of the problems with direct democracy is California. Here you have a very liberal state, but because of the proposition system, when it comes time to vote on some of th

One of my friends thought it would be hilarious to subscribe me to the Trump newsletter. That was 3 or 4 months ago and despite unsubscribing and adding to spam I still occasionally get stuff from them. My friend found it less funny after I

Wasn't there an article on HN recently that said something along the lines of "just because Apple does it doesn't mean you should"?

Sometimes the hardest part about dealing with people like this is that they seem to have multiple personalities. Thus a person that to me (white male) seems like a great guy, may not be that same person at all when they interact with others

there is one in ocean sciences. I don't remember which one although if you are really interested I can find out. Somebody translated it into C as part of their phd.

This is great, except for tools. I can't imagine living without enough tools to accomplish most tasks that I am faced with. This means having everything from a soldering iron and shrink tube, to a table-saw. I just can't imagine w

I am sure that most people are aware of how overpriced adafruit is. I still use them when I prototype because they test their products, their website is a fun place to visit, and they tend to support their products with tutorials. If I want

I would really like to see some of the major tech companies step up and make an example of some of the more prolific patent trolls. Apple and Google should be making a real effort to make this process more risky as they have cash reserves d

Please take this with a grain of salt. The author has spent a good deal of her time lately denouncing Hillary and endorsing Trump, which may imply bias. I make no claims about the content though, as I did not finish reading it due to the au
