memonkey··on Django React/Redux Base Project
I actually work in a Flask + AngularJS stack and have been dying to learn Django + React. Flask has been incredibly easy to setup and create APIs and even though the front-end continues to have its little intricacies, it can't heart to traverse them through new technologies.
memonkey··on Why we chose Vue.js
Whoa! Thank you for this. I think this is exactly what I am thinking. I have done exactly what you did and I'm trying to figure out what the rage is as well. I want to find a framework that works for me without all the intricacies and nuances of something so complicated... something that gives me the errors that I need to know to debug the issues I'm having.

memonkey··on The Economics of Dining as a Couple
Hah! You just typed my comment. OPs is only another facet of being in a relationship and definitely a good one. But for some, traveling often is not a real option, and the majority of the relationship is spent doing mundane things like washing the dishes, or working out, or finding time to create space and learning how to settle into roles together.
memonkey··on Blender 2.78 released
I've heard that Maya and 3ds max are miles ahead when it comes to the actual manipulating of 3d objects and that Blender essentially has a steep learning curve compared to those two. That someone who has experience with Maya or 3ds has a lot harder time learning Blender than vice versa.
memonkey··on Snapchat Releases First Hardware Product, Spectacles
All the young 20 something year olds that I know are still not dropping $120 on sun glasses unless they are young college graduated professionals. Most are not. And I'm a 28 year old professional that wears $10 knock offs.
memonkey··on The Sorcerer of Jazz
There are some purists left who are equated with Miles Davis. Christian Scott comes to mind as one of the modern greats for sure:

memonkey··on On Not Reading
Are you talking about Gravity's Rainbow? Yeah, that is a hard book.

His first novel (V.) is similar in prose though and was so enjoyable for me at a young age I have been planning to read it again.

memonkey··on Visual Studio Code 1.5
Would creating large applications in WebStorm break things if I wanted to use VSCode in the future or alongside?
memonkey··on Show HN: Chessboardify – Make the grid a chessboard
This is interesting but I don't really understand because I've tried doing what you're saying. Maybe a side note: I'm very interested in learning algorithms but they are so inaccessible to me.
memonkey··on Fire-damaged Brazilian tortoise receives new 3D shell
Do you feel the same way toward humans?
memonkey··on How “Pet Sounds” Invented the Modern Pop Album
Yup. "Paul McCartney has frequently spoken of his affinity with the album, citing "God Only Knows" as his favorite song of all-time, and crediting his melodic bass-playing style to the album. He acknowledged that Pet Sounds was the primary impetus for the Beatles' 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The interplay between the Beatles and the Beach Boys thus inextricably links the two albums together."
memonkey··on NVIDIA Announces the GeForce GTX 1000 Series
What cable transfers 4k 120-144hz? What are the benefits of DisplayPort 1.4 over something like Dual Link DVI or the newest HDMI?
memonkey··on Ask HN: What software do you use for project and resource management?
We use Wrike at current job. I use Asana for side projects.
memonkey··on Why Do Some Poor Kids Thrive?
Hey thanks for that. I am currently studying algorithms on my own for interest and interviews. My only concern is the amount of doors that may open for me with a degree.
memonkey··on Why Do Some Poor Kids Thrive?
Wow. Thank you so much for sharing. I had no idea something like this existed. As someone who has done online learning in the past (Academy of Art University, Udacity, Coursera), this seems like something right up my alley. $8000/year is extremely reasonable.

Some quick questions:

Are there any extra fees? How many classes in first/second/third year? Are they separated by semester or quarter? Does this include General Ed? Are there any previous qualifications one needs before applying?

EDIT: I answered most of my questions on that page! My only concern is passing the GCE "AS" Level which I can't find too much information on...

memonkey··on FingerIO: Using Active Sonar for Fine-Grained Finger Tracking
What happens when there are multiple devices around each other emitting the signals? Great proof of concept.

Idea: add women gifs!
memonkey··on Django React Redux JWT Base Project
You could put all of this into Vagrant or Otto with a bash file to set up the dependencies to get it going.
memonkey··on Ultra-fine particles emitted by commercial desktop 3D printers [pdf]
Hi! Sorry for the late response.

You are mostly correct. However, per your links, using "HEPA" with any prefix or suffix is problematically allowed. The specifications laid out by the DOE are mostly for DOE facilities and so they have their own version. Everyone else is using their own brand of "-HEPA-" which can mean <0.003 pm or not and is therefore misleading.

memonkey··on The Montreux Jazz Festival archive is now online
This is great! Current jazz artists are going to love this.
memonkey··on Ask HN: Your Passive Income Suggestions?
Do you market it at all?
memonkey··on Ultra-fine particles emitted by commercial desktop 3D printers [pdf]
Really glad you like our product. I will admit it is pretty expensive, but as you've said, your particle count will get to almost 98% of less than what was originally lurking in your rooms. That is nowhere near what other air purifiers can do.

When I first joined the company, I was told not to put it on full blast the first night otherwise your mouth will become dry. It still blows my mind that people experience that.

I keep mine on throughout the night as well, but I have definitely noticed the sound doesn't have the humming sound as opposed to other air purifiers. It is a much quieter, fan like sound.

memonkey··on Ultra-fine particles emitted by commercial desktop 3D printers [pdf]
Just want to point out that any company can use the word "HEPA" as there is really no industry standard/federal minimum for what it means to be HEPA. So you can basically have a paper towel in the back of a fan and call it a HEPA filter.

Also this: http://www.hvacinsider.com/national/tech--case-study-taking-...

"The initial approach was to fabricate an acrylic hood that would be placed above the urinalysis workstations and would vent odors directly outside. However, city officials would not permit the laboratory to ventilate the captured air to the outdoors. This prompted Vantari and the IQAir team to focus on air filtration instead of ventilation."

IQAir HealthPro Plus claims 0.003 and honestly, I believe it. Disclaimer: I work for them but my opinions are my own and backed by some really great science/technology.
memonkey··on Lyft defies predictions by continuing to grow as a rival to Uber
American server here. Yeah, if I provide shitty service, you shouldn't have to tip me. Personally, as someone who has served and has gotten paid less than 'minimum wage' (service industry is different in some states), even if I'm the one getting shitty service, I leave 2-3 dollars on a $60 bill. I understand shitty days and putting up with hungry people. But it definitely is a culturally economic thing too. So if someone provides excellent service, or I see them as an extremely hard worker toward the guests around me, I leave them extra. Although I definitely agree that the tip should be included in the menu items and servers should be paid more than $15 (min wage is $9 where I live) in the more populated cities.
memonkey··on Software error releases up to 3,200 inmates early
Perhaps a valid concern but is it also possible that the cost and percentage of re offenders is lower than the cost of keeping all of them in jail?
memonkey··on Blade: a Java Web Framework
I love Java and I love playing with lightweight Java frameworks.
memonkey··on Doctors want ban on prescription drug, device advertisements
There was an incredibly smart and hilarious ad created by those at Adult Swim completely in line with what you're saying.
