If you're okay with learning on a guitar Ben Levin's* "Music Theory from the Ground Up is an excellent series. He breaks down everything into really small pieces and its a lot of fun to learn from him.

Heres a link to the YouTube playlist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3yqUeiMn_g&list=PLJTWoPGfHx...

*I am in no way affiliated with this guy, and to my knowledge he does not charge for any of his lessons anyways.

>I think romanization can take care of it with most languages

Except for the ones that it really can't. When you try and romanize standard written Chinese it becomes nigh impossible to read for most speakers, often it would be more confusing than an English translation.

I would love to see MS release a version of Windows that is built on Linux but with a custom GUI to look and behave like Windows.

They could even add support for Windows apps through WINE to make it _feel_ like a native experience. Especially if they are willing to dedicate additional resources to better hardware optimization for WINE*

I have always hated Windows because I grew up on UNIX-like systems, whenever I want to do something non-trivial involving the OS I tend to get lost and give up pretty quickly. But I don't mind Windows GUI from a UX perspective, and I would be interested in running a "Linux-Windows"

*I am not sure what MS official stance on WINE is, however I would imagine that supporting it is likely in their long-term best interests.

When I graduated from College I applied heavily to jobs in the MD/VA area because of their strength in competitive Super Smash Bros.

I found a job here and love being closer to so many people I can share my favorite hobby with.

Because you can't add funds to your PayPal account through Google Play billing. It has its own billing platform.

I think this is all done client side, manually, through a browser extension. They aren't providing you with an API to retrieve this data live afterwards.

Still a cool project but I think this limits a lot of its utility. Providing an API to access the data as a service would be a lot more profitable.

So what's the problem with taxing them for egregiously more but ineffectively? What if we kept the current effectiveness but imposed, say, a 120% rate on the ultra-wealthy? Maybe they would end up needing to pay 40% of this but at least it would be a lot better than we are doing now.

Did the same in thing in college but with Toki Pona. Think Esperanto but even more stripped down to under 200 words that you combine to express ideas. If you work hard at it, you can reach an intermediate level over a weekend. My roommates and I exclusively used Toki Pona for about a month and I would say we all became very comfortable in the language.

A little off topic: but when I was in uni our instructors insisted that we use vim for all of our development during the freshman year CS courses. Did everyone actually use it? Of course not, but a significant amount of class time was spent teaching keybindings, macros, etc.

I really built a habit of vanilla vim usage, and to this day I have yet to find a "modern" text editor that really supports everything that vim has to offer i.e. "vim mode" being more than binding the arrow keys to hjkl and providing modes.

I use expect to write little "drivers" for serial devices all of the time. I don't have a lot of experience with hardware and often its the easiest way to set up an interface. I never really knew how much it could do until one of my coworkers recommended it to me for this purpose one day.

Its not necessarily musical.ly but its Chinese counterpart, Douyin. Douyin is absolutely massive in China, think Snapchat/Instagram/Vine but much more popular.

They run ads between the short videos, I would imagine that ad space is very valuable to some Chinese companies. I've never used Musical.ly however I imagine its similar just rebranded for an American market.

I always felt bad for the devs of the actual Fortnite game. Its clear lots of time and resources were poured into what was actually a pretty good horde style survival/crafting game, then the little BR offshoot came along and now whenever someone says "Fortnite" I just assume they mean BR because no one actually plays the survival game.

I guess they can't complain about the success but it would have to feel at least a little bit demoralizing.

Great tip. Did not know this command, I've been killing my terminal and opening a new one to reattach for the last two years.

With more age usually comes more experience, and with that higher wages. That's the canned answer.

But in this case I see your point. Many of these young CEOs just don't want older people in their offices. They have youth as part of "their culture". They also generally assume that older workers will be slower to adapt and less welcoming of a more volatile work environment; both frequent traits of many tech companies.

Well he did say he didn't read any further.

Most e cigarettes use rechargeable batteries that can last for years. Much better than butts.

Were the images gathered by Stanford undergrads?

Ironically you are correct [0]. Sakurais health has become a bit of a meme in the Super Smash Bros. community over the last few years. I can't be 100% sure that his issues were related to track-ball-programming or not but I am sure it didn't help.

Just curious on why they would use PNaCl over WASM here? Wasn't WASM on track to becoming standard for native-speeds in the browser?

So if I have an imbeded webpage inside of my app and that website is updated do I suddenly violate the EULA. What if its a social media app that provides users the ability to write custom HTML/CSS/JS to personalize their profiles and a user writes a game that runs in the header of that profile. What if that game suddenly allows the ability to access copyrighted material?

I just don't understand how Apple is supposed to draw a line here.

I think primary focus of this project was to showcase proper Redux implementation. There certainly are much easier ways to accomplish Tetris but that is not what they were shooting for.

Number of commits != overall impact on the language/community. I think he will serve this role just fine.

3 Semesters of CPSC @ Clemson University; need to work for a while before I can afford to take classes again. I have also taken 3 semesters of Chinese and still improving via self study, I have high-elementary to low-intermediate knowledge both pinyin and hanzi.

Looks like this is your first project on Github; impressive stuff!

Even though it is not explicitly suggested by the article I would imagine that the phone maintains its emergency contact features as well as any data in storage to transfer later. The idea is to discourage someone from using their phone as actively as possible until they send it in for the swap.
