Tatsuya Takahashi understands the importance of accessibility in design. He has lowered the barrier to entry for new instrument buyers that want to get into analog synthesis, and that’s what has made him so successful.


I have never accepted one. If I wanted to read something regularly, I’d bookmark it and revisit it. Or subscribe to the RSS feed if I wanted to keep up to date.

To me, it’s just as annoying as apps with notifications, or websites with pop ups about newsletters. All of these things are generally just things trying to add more noise into my life.

I value my quiet. Are you offering more value than my quiet?


What’s the name of the documentary?


Yes! With eInk!


Candy Clicker is a great example. I miss 2013.


And you can also export the data without writing Swift apps, if what I’m reading here is true:

Save your effort for the analysis!


The location filter provides options that are not in scope.

Why suggest I filter on Durham, NC when I type "Durham" into that location filter when there aren't actually results in Durham, NC?

In fact, why not use a map for this instead? You're talking about locations.


Thanks for taking a look! It's definitely on my list of things I need to fix. Haven't decided what approach to take yet. At the very least I won't show locations that have no postings. A map is a potential option.

The challenge is when I pull from sites without robust apis that don't offer great location info. Some sites offer lat/lon but others might just say a city and some will even just say a region like "Greater New York City".


I thought the same thing but on scroll to bottom more entries were added in "infinite" fashion and as new cities appeared filter worked. Not ideal though.


I wonder if Yusupov realized that this would be the way that I and many other readers would learn about his app for the first time.


Interesting point. I'd never heard of Rus or HQ, and was only loosely familiar with Vine, but as someone who watches Jeopardy daily I'm interested enough that I'll at least test HQ out because of this.


>I wonder if Yusupov realized that this would be the way that I and many other readers would learn about his app for the first time.

My thoughts exactly. The CEO's threat to fire the host is the only reason I'm now aware of the existence of the app, the company, or the host.

Here's a recent video where he talks about how to create new Pokemon with Generative Adversarial Networks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_adversarial_network). Nice contrast from the usual MNIST dataset, especially if you want to be inspired to think about novel ways to apply this stuff:

Not all banks re-service mortgages. BB&T is known to keep servicing mortgages that they originate.[1] Disclaimer: I have a mortgage through Wells Fargo (that was almost immediately re-serviced!), but I work for [redacted].

I don't disagree for a second there are some banks and credit unions that intend to service their mortgages but you don't know that will always be so. That's their policy now but it can change in the future and you have no control over it. Banks and credit unions are being bought and sold all the time.

The bank that held my parents mortgage was acquired no less than four times between 1996-2012. In 2007 I got a credit card from my local credit union - right now it's being transitioned into a Bank of America credit card. The credit union still exists though, they sold their credit card division to another company which then was acquired by BoA. Funny thing is a several years after they sold their credit cards they decided to offer them again and create new ones.


Exactly. My primary credit union, First Tech, also states that they will service the mortgages they originate.


What happens when First Tech gets bought out by [mega credit union] though?


First Tech bought out the HP Credit Union (Addison Avenue) and others so in some sense, it has acted as [mega credit union].

Beyond that, this question is an imponderable for me because who can say what the future brings vs. the present. I guess one can refinance with some other credit union were this to happen in the future in a manner that was not desirable for one's mortgage.
