I think there's something more to the open floor plan beyond collaboration and cost saving. It goes back to a post I saw here a few months ago about building unity [1] with the team. I don't know the answer, but I think there is s

This is really cool! I've been thinking about making something like this for a while. Looking forward to checking it out for my next project.

Has anyone found anywhere to buy enclosures for different RPi projects similar to this one? I have an RPi, a screen, and a project idea, but am struggling to come up with a way to make an enclosure for it that is at least passable. Would th

The seneca toolkit that the post leads into and links to is super interesting. It seems like a pretty straightforward way to build with an SOA from the beginning. Does anyone have any experience using this for a sizable project that can com

That email privacy tester linked in the article looks really cool. I had an idea for an email client the other day, but the potential privacy and security issues seemed like it would probably become a nightmare. Are there any other tools ou

Very cool, thank you! I remembered hearing of a dropshipping guide a while ago, didn't realize that was you too.

I just requested your ebook to read later tonight - but do you know of any other good resources or books on drop shipping-based eCommerce sites?

Right, but if you're never going to look at the method again and/or remove it next week for whatever reason, you've just wasted a bunch of time that could be spent on more valuable things. My thinking is definitely more focus

I've been a TDD practitioner for a while now and I've lately started to question the value of doing the refactor step within the red/green cycle, even if the code to make the tests green is a horrible kludge. Sure it's g

How would one go about creating a quick/cheap custom enclosure for their Pi and a touchscreen? I have both, but I'm completely lost looking into 3d printing for it, and most things I've found have been pretty expensive. Are t

Do any of you think it would it be useful to have a site where it would be possible to donate time to different campaigns on certain sides of issues? Imagine if you had a place where you could donate engineering time to a campaign for someo

What makes you feel that the next 15 years of talented young are going to be more dispersed, have you seen any indications of it? Is the idea just that the bubble will burst, scattering everyone throughout the currently underserved market?

Funny, this is more or less my trajectory over the last ~4 years after changing majors from CS 2 years in and graduating with an Econ degree. Got an entry level job at a bank in ATM support in Pittsburgh and spent the time in-between calls

I just finished Edward Glaeser's Triumph of the City the other day, and after reading this article, I'm really excited to see how his theory about education level being a major factory in whether a city succeeds or not is affected

This is awesome! We were just talking about building a desktop IFTTT. Can't wait to play with this tonight and learn to make agents.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this only applies to federal student loans, right? Private student loans with Sallie Mae, for example, wouldn't qualify.

I made it about 3 days at my first job out of college as a recruiter, and I can confirm this at least at the small company I worked for. It was actually part of the training to pitch to applicant's references because they were much warmer l

I know a few people that do this and their argument is that downloading isn't the illegal part, the uploading is. Is that not correct?

Buying a book like Starting Strength by Rippetoe and starting with low weights goes a long way to getting your form good enough that you won't seriously injure yourself.

Yeah I actually had to learn this the hard way. Clients complaining about things not looking right in IE7/8 when I tested using IE9 in IE8/7 mode. You need the actual browser to be sure you've tested everything.

Thank you! I had seen the Design Patterns in Ruby book when I looked around on Amazon, but wasn't sure if it would be a good choice. Ordered now, though.

Slightly off-topic, but does anyone have any resources for learning more about these and other design patterns that show up on HN from time to time?

Just a clarification - I was kind of requesting a feature, hoping that the new plans will work that way.

Looking forward to hearing the features the "database plan at or near this price point" will have. We would love to be able to connect to our database with other apps besides the main one - even if it ended up somewhere between the $200/mon

I wonder if this will come with some smaller production plans between dev and Ronin. We're also in the situation of getting enough performance out of the shared db offering and not needing the power of Ronin yet. Also, I'd hope they will gi

I actually had Boyer for Geography of Wine - another popular class of his (never won the lottery to get into World Regions when I was there). He was definitely one of the few professors I had that through his personality and unique style wa

Yeah, I'm actually doing the stronglifts 5x5 program. The Starting Strength book is still really useful for learning the lifts and getting all of the detail. With stronglifts you're going to get high in weight quick - so knowing form well
