As an example of applicability, I used reciprocal multiplication and shifting, plus knowledge of how many bits of accuracy I didn't need, to get my old Kinect code for my former startup to run near 30fps instead of 2-3fps on hardware w

Think of it as a chance to pick up editor and language tricks you might not have known, or to socialize "best practices". The metagame is still part of the game. If you can't change the practice, try to make the most of it.

One of the things that turned me off of using Amazon for fulfillment when I was trying to run a barely ramen profitable hardware startup was that I might get stuck filing property taxes in a whole bunch of states. That and I was so broke t

Has there been any detailed reporting on the root cause of the fire? It's strange that an electrical fire can start in the first place in what should be an extremely well-engineered factory, let alone spread to over 6000 square feet,

Was the NYT article edited after the fact? That happens fairly often. I remember having to calm my gf down after she was so upset by the news that someone had their head bashed in with a fire extinguisher. It was definitely reported, and

That's exactly the problem, those songs are not in either artist's genre. The artists don't sound similar, but the songs do. By "genre" I mean the effective genre (mood/vibe, instrumentation, pacing, chord pr

Nice. The first sample looks kind of like a spider chart, but easier to read. The grid layout also kind of reminds me of a flamegraph. Items (servers, site pages, assets, PCR machines, factory equipment) could be rendered with the 6 corn

I did run into Sonic Pi about a year after I started down this road. It looks like it's largely backed by C++ to do the heavy lifting, and I'm trying to go pure Ruby (and using Ruby idioms) as much as possible. Different niches,
