Personality Tests - Psychology of Personality

Rumor has it we are going to be taking the Myers-Briggs test in class. I kind of hate the idea of labeling people. But then I was thinking, why not, just for an ironic twist, try a little social experiment by purposely slapping on as many labels as possible? We don't have to be defined by them, but they probably reveal *something* about ourselves, and if nothing else, can provide opportunities for conversation… Consider how seriously people take astrological signs, which aren't based on any of your unique qualities at all! Here are some of my personal favorites, in no particular order: Humor Styles Questionnaire (Rod Martin and Patricia Doris): https :// www . psychologytoday .com/articles/200607/how-do-you-use-humor Hogwart's  House (Harry Potter): http :// www . playbuzz .com/ emilyz 14/the- hogwarts -sorting-quiz- pottermore -version Mythological Creature: http :// www . playbuzz .com/ paget 10/what-mythical-creature-describes-your-personality ...

Learning Dubstep Production - Sound Samples

I've been posting links on Facebook every time I make progress on a track, even if it's just a small adjustment to a short clip. But then they tend to get lost... Facebook is great for sharing but not for archiving. That's what this is for - I'll still be posting them as usual, and then putting the links together here to organize them once they are buried by pictures of animals and food. Here was my very first attempt at anything remotely dubstep-ish, posted on 5/17/13: http://picosong.com/FJMf/ This was just over month after I got Logic Pro, and met Amy who formally introduced me to dubstep. Then about a month later (6/14) I made this: http://picosong.com/FMLL/ That's when I met Jacob and he showed me how to use MASSIVE. The bassline is layered with that, and the previous one I had using the ES2 synth in Logic. https://soundcloud.com/bobtowers/barbary-allen-chillstep  - 6/17 http://picosong.com/Rs2x/  - Paganini Dubstep (6/18) http://picosong.com/RF...

My Interview for Apple

As I am preparing my solutions and tests for the Advent of Code problems to get into Apple, I realize that if I could explain a little bit of how in the world I got into the position of even having a chance to work at such an important company, it can potentially reveal a whole lot about the current state of web technology. I've only been doing this stuff for a couple of years but have managed to make some critical observations and decisions that have given me a major advantage. I want to explain how you could do this too, even more easily than I have. Learning to make abstractions begins with math, but more relevant to the issue here is the way programming is taught, particularly the differences in the rate of adaptation to the technological trends by the tech industry and the computer science education curriculum. A recent example of this is MIT switching from Lisp, a theoretical language invented for AI in 1958, to Python, a modern dynamic scripting language. I love Python an...
