We have vending machines with these at my university. I often start swiping my card only to realize I've accidentally "tapped to pay" (according to the reader).

I picked up a Samsung ARM Chromebook two weeks ago, installed both the latest Secure Shell and the Development version. Neither worked :-/

Crouton is actually a breeze to use. While the crouton script itself might have a few hacks under-the-hood, the end result is quite slick. Everything just installs under `/usr/local/chroots'. Removing one of your potentially many chrooted i

I'm surprised the ARM Chromebook shipped without any mechanism for indicating which apps in the Chrome Web Store are compatible with it (maybe they expected PNaCl to be completed?). Moreover, I had no idea what NaCl was until Secure Shell s

Also, last I checked, Secure Shell relies on an NaCl plugin incompatible with the Samsung ARM Chromebook.

Crouton is awesome—you get a chrooted Ubuntu accessible via crosh. You have CLI access with `sudo enter-chroot` and can launch XFCE4 with `sudo startxfce4`. I never use XFCE, but if you do, you can seamlessly toggle between ChromeOS and XFC

Thank you for clarifying! I did not know that all functions in Haskell are considered curried. My surprise stemmed in part from reading a bit about "arity" from [1]. It's interesting how the theoretical model of Haskell--"all functions in H

Really? Consider f :: a -> b -> a f a = g a g :: a -> b -> a g a _ = a It doesn't seem right to say that g "returns a function that takes one b", whereas you could say that about f.

I'll second the author's recommendation of Effective JavaScript by David Herman. I've found it very helpful: http://effectivejs.com/

Maybe at the beginning the filters were a distinguishing factor (I don't know because I wasn't an early adopter, nor did I try, for example, Hipstamatic or others). But now I think Instagram's clear use case is seeing the world through your

Cool hack. It would be neat if the box-shadows used relative units rather than `px` so that you could resize the result, but then why not use SVG?

Exactly, and I think this is a poor pattern cropping up in a lot of JavaScript heavy sites. Take, for example, Twitter-- You CAN right-click on links like: - "Tweets" - "Following" - etc. But you arbitrarily cannot right-click: - A link to

The bootstrap process for gcc involves first building gcc with an existing C compiler, then rebuilding gcc from this first build [1]. I'm still waiting for my build to finish, but i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2 seems to be handling the gc

No kidding. Based on the author's earlier writing [1], he seems content spinning a clichéd narrative of Chicago, without furnishing any supporting evidence or challenging his preconceived notions. [1] http://pandodaily.com/2012/03/16/enter

Agreed. The PSD wrapper is kludgy. Sites that just need to put a brand logo up as part of a content update are just going to resize the logo from available PNGs. I imagine in any more complicated cases someone with Illustrator is doing the

I've found that awk is one of those tools whose potential use becomes clear only after putting in some initial effort to learn it. Along with sed, sort, and others, awk has solved problems for me that would have otherwise been extremely ted
