Mastery by Robert Greene is one I mentioned in another post. I don't want to say its life changing but its extremely good and it's the closest thing I've found to a self help book that isn't full of fluff. Edit "W

I've seen a lot of articles stating that when you're tired the mind is more 'creative' irrespective of drug use. If pot can be used as a responsible tool for 'creativity' its one thing, but I've had child

The person that posted it should be a complete opportunist about the matter and put it on their resume and apply to Google or something.It would be even funnier if they offered publicly to be a paid consultant for rap genius.

"Mastery" by Robert Greene was good. It actually works better as an audio book as it's wrapped in narratives of people who went on to do extraordinary things. Hence listening lends better to it than than reading. I read &quot

It only works if you have a shit ton of humility. The problem is there is really no other way I've found to acclimate oneself with the assumptions and culture of the discipline in a manner that is real-world and cuts through the small

My two goals are to understand how to view a simple algorithm like a quicksort and be able to replicate it intuitively with much less 'fight through' than I currently have. The other thing is to get comfortable with learning web

Well I had dental insurance at my old job and lost it. Then my hours rapidly declined. A filling fell out. Got laid off and haven't been able to catch up. My unemployment is about to run out but I just signed up for Humana with the sam

Illuminati conspiracy theories are goal post moving blanket subjective concepts used to mean whatever the cult leader of the moment wants them to mean. The NSA is a real agency. That's the difference.

This nonsense is peddled in the ghetto and underclass by charlatans and con artists parasitizing off people that haven't had the privilege of a robust educated lineage handed off to them (for a number of reasons). The Alex Jones's

In the U.S. dental issues are not considered a serious health problem even though you can die from it. Teeth aren't covered by "obamacare" and well, if the side of your mouth rots out then tough shit. Poor Americans have trou

I'm curious if these 'elite' developers budget out a chunk of their profits to buy their own apps and/or free-to-play 'points' simply as a means of keeping their games on the top grossing lists.

Why can't you just use the web audio api for this? Are you looking for someone to actually write DSP algorithms for you or are you just looking for someone to tack on audio effects to the audio output of a browser? If all you want is t
