OP: how are you getting around 429 errors thrown by Dropbox when you do a full dirwalk like this?

>Well, fuck them, and fuck that.

But—I'm curious to see what everyone thinks—are we too late for this attitude to change anything?

> Hacker News now is about correcting grammar

I vehemently agree with this. Aside from a few parent comments on each thread, the comment threads are sure to have somebody being overly finicky about the minutia of another comment. Diction is important, yes, but an important tool to any conversation is understanding when NOT to correct somebody, or make them clarify their obvious statement. It's kind of like HN's much crueler version of a Reddit pun thread, with the notable exception that, as soon as I see one, I will immediately collapse the former.

Kevin Rose was an investor in Chomp, IIRC. Good for him.

Off the top of my head, things that this is lacking: velocity control for each pad, a way to zoom in on waveforms and chop up samples, maybe better loop controls, and the ability to export as .wav?

But suggestions aside, as a budding hip-hop producer/hacker, I had the idea to make this but never the skills/conviction. It made my day to see that this is something actually doable, and capable of being done well.

I might be enrolling at UIUC as an undergrad this fall. Could you spare a minute and tell me a little bit about the CS dept. and the school as a whole? Email's in my profile, if this isn't the right place to ask (sorry if I violated HNettiqute).

There's really so much to do that you can't do it in two weeks, but be sure to explore as much as you can. Careful with the food, though, some of it may not be so great for your stomach.

New comment by indraneel24 in "How Learning a Second Language Changed My Life"

indraneel24 — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 22:02:55 +0000

"we’ve discovered...when you even try to say “Hello” or “Thank you” in their language."

I'll attest to that, even though I live in the states. While this article I was proud of both the author and my own Indian heritage. Learning languages is a great thing to do, it's just a shame not all of us have the time to do it. Makes me sad that my high school was forced to cut Latin from the curriculum — it's a very interesting language to learn.

Unfortunately, he had to sell them later in his life, as he was going bankrupt.

New comment by indraneel24 in "Get a Life, Holden Caulfield"

indraneel24 — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 00:01:00 +0000

I just read this book for the first time, in my American Literature class, and as my fellow peers read it, I heard them remark that Holden was "annoying and whiny."

Personally, having looked up a lot of the symbolism in the novel on my own, I truly enjoy Catcher and all the life lessons it teaches. I, at times, related to Holden, even through all his inconsistencies and flaws. It's an excellent book and I hope teachers understand how to teach it better at their "work"shops.

At least on OS X, this is faster than Firefox has ever been for me in the last 2-3 months. Switched back to Firefox over Safari.

It's amazing how all of human, animal, and plant history occurred on a dot that is invisible when compared to Pollux.

I've been using this for a few weeks now, and (besides AdBlock Plus) this is the most useful extension that exists for Firefox.
