Used to do DC to Wilmington. My travel companion and I never noticed the dinners. But we had one of those little travel mini-bars with two martini glasses and a shaker with room for some cheese and crackers. We traveled home in style.

Yep, a joke. There are people that when they go away on an extended trip they stage their homes to look lived in while they are gone. Real Estate Agents stage empty homes that they are selling to help the sale. A sofa, table and two chair

It's interesting how the government is working on different tax schemes to try to fix the housing problem. But the people that are buying these houses from overseas have the money, so it's not going to make a difference. But loca

I have a Pi 3 that I use for this. It runs a number of apps and is a very good Node Server. I also run IBM's Node-Red on the same server as part of my home control system

I don't see it passing in the lame duck session. Winning republicans will want to see President Elect Trump not need to veto it, while loosing republicans will not want to add TPP to Obamas legacy. So both groups will band together t

It does, but for some of us Legomaniacs it explains why some things are hard to find. But you need to wonder, do people throw Lego away? Hopefully they get handed down from generation to generation.

I've purchased a number of Pi's across the years. In most cases they have been used for projects or given to people that have a need for them. But in full disclosure, there are three Zeros and three Pi-3's waiting for their

I used it yesterday then posted the link to HN since I was so pleased and excited. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12437126 I do classes on the Pi, the ability to set them up for class will make a huge difference.

Used this today to build a system on my windows box. Raspberry Pi came up on the wi-fi network fully configuration ready. Very nice.

Yes, they knew it landed, they got data back and then other than the last burst, never heard from it again. That's from the article and other news sources. Nice to know that it was still there after the last burst, that it hadn't

Me too, it's good to know that Philae hadn't bounced off into space.

Thanks. I was looking at the process to process data sharing that you would use YAML or JSON for and how Lua would be used. It's never occurred to me to serialize a table and send it. I'll put that on the stack of things to rese

If you want to use it for complex things, sure, there's no end of potential features. If you need some logic with your data, I like Lua. Say some more about this. I look at YAML as a way to do data exchange, like using JSON

Nice simulation and throwing in that you know how trees work. The embedded me would have brute forced it and gone with setting a double variable to 0x03FFFFFFFFFFFF then turning a bit off when that section was covered. When the variable wa

It's a great editor, I use it all the time with new Raspberry Pi people. Since it's so simple to use we can focus on what we are doing vs learning on how to drive an editor. Happy to see RMS was willing to compromise and keep nano

Cool story. I love these history pieces that end up being men against the problem and it gets brute forced. The cathedral site has some good history on it. http://www.winchester-cathedral.org.uk/our-heritage/our-
