3D printing with my kids. We built a RepRap Prusi i3 and have had a lot of fun printing printer upgrades and other fun things. We've designed a few things ourselves but often someone else has already designed something that we can use

Cooler Master QuickFire Stealth After trying Das Keyboard, I realized I wanted something smaller. I found the CM, a ten-keyless design that had the correct inverted T configuration and am hooked. By correct, I mean some 'keyboard desig

Why not do both? I did C/C++, then C#, and now C# plus PHP, JavaScript, or whatever is needed for the job. Sure it takes some ramp up, but not that much. I wasn't a fan of the MS Web stack for a long time. ASP.NET MVC fixed that.

A nice interview to finish out a not so nice week on the subject of women coders. I love how, although she has a successful career outside of CS, she still goes home and hacks on apps that scratch her own itches. Note that she confirms pg&#

I've done this before. You're right. The CPU intensive part is the word search itself. Building the combinations and finding adjacent words, which you've already done. The ngram piece is straightforward by comparison. Just co

I wasn't aware of BLISS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLISS It does seem to have some interesting features for a systems level language--for example, expressions over statements and references over pointers.

This appears to be another mechanism to mitigate CSRF vulnerabilities, tailored to a single page app. It is quite similar to, for example, putting a security token into a form that is validated on post. The difference is that it is put into

This is a great move for the company. Especially now that so many competitors have internalized the process. It was the single most identifiable thing that poisoned the culture at the company. It will be interesting to see what they replace

I thoroughly enjoyed On Writing . To me, it captures the entrepreneur ethos and demonstrates why perseverance and just doing are two of the most important keys to success.

Anyone know the story behind the engraving on the side of his Leatherman Squirt? It must be significant, because he also added it to his updated Squirt.

That's a false argument. These are separate points of discussion. You're arguing that they're right because they were first to market in a new space and have achieved significant momentum. Momentum is just that. They've

Why does Apple get a pass on this? They have just taken the alternative approach of fracturing their OS and hardware. It's natural because of where they started (iPod -> iPhone -> iPad), so this isn't a criticism. As a conse

Yes, but they are targeting individual US citizens and using the broad authority that has been granted to them "to evade the constitution," as the article states. Ostensibly, this authority was granted in order to protect our bord

Have you tried Bottle? It is very simple, defined in one file that you include with your project. It has attribute-based routing (including PUT!). It's great for smaller projects and prototyping. I'm not sure how well it scales to

It would be nice to get an SSL cert on the site as soon as you're able. For the time being, passwords and political interest (as demonstrated by clicked URLs) are being passed as plain text.

The Alt key is one of the biggest critizisms (even though it's been the standard placement since the IBM-PC 101/104). Every other keyboard alternative shown has the exact same Alt key size and position.

I learned Morse Code as a 12 year old while working towards my ham radio license. It was a challenge, especially getting to 13 WPM. The 20 WPM requirement of the Extra class was the main reason I didn't go for that one at the time. Eve

Given that a large number of founders are engineers, it would make sense that founders want to talk with designers over engineers--it's a critical skill that they may lack and for which they have an immediate need. The remainder of fou

It's open source and they've had a node.js package for some time. The VS integration is just icing on the cake, if you like that sort of cake. As a side benefit, there are interface definitions for many popular libraries, like jQu

I flew over this area (going TX to WA) the day after this and saw a similar storm. It was absolutely mesmerizing. Discharges occurred every few seconds the entire time we flew around it--an even mixture of intra-cloud and cloud-to-ground. I
