Exactly. I've done some lab work on reading muscle activity signals trough the skin, and the signals from the test subjects were very individual. The mass produced prostethic limbs with control systems are mostly mechanical and slow, e.g. t

Bionic prosthetic limbs like this is very hard to control, that's why it's newsworthy that a man can climb 103 stairs like this. To be able to use something like this requires lots of training and calibration, so it's not easy to mass produ

Very fun and beautiful game, just tried it out. I also like the solution that you can play up to 2 games for free, and then you can pay for it to be able to play more at the same time.

The book Clever Algorithms (free to download) is also covering some swarm algorithms: http://www.cleveralgorithms.com/nature-inspired/swarm.html

What takes time is to create the pattern and the last for a bespoke shoemaker, so the additional pair of shoes are not that time demanding to make.

I often postpone buying technical books because I know they will too soon be dated. Since you're an author and on the other side of the table, what are your thoughts on offering those who bought the first edition the second book at a good p

You're right, but if it's critical I'll just request a new password. A bit tedious, but I'm not often in that situation.

It would be interesting to see some statistics before and after this announcement, even if it's still a young framework.

I'm going to have a break doing exactly this while trying to make something out of my ideas starting in July, and I'm aiming for six months before I'll see if I need a job or have something working on my own. So if anyone in Frankfurt wants

This would be more helpful to see before you have to click anything.

I'm using LastPass for this, you can specify how strong your unique generated password should be and it stores it for you. There are other similar ones like this also.

That would be practical, however many of the books also contain information on how they can be bought even if they are free. So that is also information that should be displayed. It's nice to support the writers where they provide something

Thank you, this is excellent stuff! It feels much more compelling to pay for a book that the writer is having enough confidence to give away for free.

In the FAQ it says: I used to, but I haven't had time to rework metric units to use the USDA food database. The metric measurements can currently be seen in the info tooltip next to each food. But yes, I'd also like metric units.

Sometimes when I'm tired of coding and thinking about the same problems for a while, I still catch myself in managing to focus on a game of Sudoku on the phone while having a break. Maybe I'm just using a different part of the brain to do t

When I saw the front page of Grovo, I wondered why the Grovo logo was linking to Dropbox. They're a bit similar, no?

In Norway it's Willy. Kind of strange with all the different names for the same character.

Yes, that was my point. Latin compares to music noone wants to hear or code noone wants to use. Spotify and its likes is a place for people to discover and share music. If your music gives you fans, they will come to your concerts and buy y

Maybe I'm looking at making music in the same fashion as open source programming. It also takes a lot of time, effort and some times money, and it does not give you any income directly. People may fork your code and you don't get any money

I lose a bit of interest in artists who complain about not making money on people listening to their music. It then seems that they make music to make money, instead of making money because they make music.

Please do! I find these stories very inspirational, in a life hacking kind of way.

I'd love to have documentation for this kind of frameworks available in a downloadable PDF. I know it is probably often updated, but so can a PDF be. The reason for me wanting this, is that I usually get into the proper focus on places with

I'm using Viewtext mainly to get the full posts from RSS-feeds into my reader, and it is excellent for that! It does not work on all the feeds I want to follow, but the majority is covered. Maybe this is something you could focus more on if
