Do you think, if the FBI hadn't gotten involved, that he would have had the initiative to put this plan, or any similar plan, into action himself? Based on the article, it seems to me that he almost certainly would not have. He appears

Definitely agreed. The greatest flow state I ever had was building a "raft" out of small logs and lots of cord on a rest day on a backpacking trip. It took hours to gather wood of the right size, break apart the pieces that were t

I've made motion sensors (still slightly buggy) and a small circuit to start my laundry machine remotely. I might do temp/humidity monitoring for a specialized application at some point.

I think I remember that happening to Google at least once. There are expectations and "expectations". Analysts' published expectations are often different than the ones they believe privately, and the expectation might be to

It's a question of liquidity: If you stand to make $1m but have to put up $200k right now, that only works if you have a liquid $200k right now, and are willing to risk it on a single company stock (as opposed to say a down-payment on

You can require users to identify themselves in a "meaningful way," even in the way that they go by to some of their friends and acquaintances. People aren't arguing that. The point is that the name that they go by doesn&#x27

As a non-twitter-using software engineer, when I land on a twitter page, I still find it fairly intimidating and requiring special knowledge. For example, why is there a dot before the @ in your example? (I actually know the answer to that

That's why I like it so much: I've been using thinkpads for years and got used to the feel of the keyboard, and also the trackpoint, so I wanted it when I was at a desktop too. It's really nice to not have to move your hand t

Yes, there are some used/refurbished on amazon for $200+ (or $300+ new). I don't like it _that_ much :) But this prompted me to look on amazon again and I found an older revision for $80 and nabbed it. No luck on ebay.

Could you point to where that model is "widely available"? It doesn't seem to be on amazon or newegg, and I'd really like to get another one (or two). It's my favorite keyboard as well.

I use folds for one specific thing: I have a general "notes" file for home and for work, which is a big outline where I put anything I'm thinking about or working on. I usually don't delete stuff, so the file grows over

Maybe try Wolfmother? Edit: Obviously nowhere near the stature and influence of Led Zeppelin, but the sound might satisfy you in some ways.

This is a great article. I visited Islay in 2012 and toured several distilleries, including Bruichladdich. I was already somewhat of a fan based on their unconventional marketing and experimentation, not to mention the incredible Port Charl

I don't think there was as mass delusion at all. Most of the googlers I knew were really skeptical of the thing, even ones that had to integrate their products with it. I think only the people working directly on it, and of course the

As someone else there at the same time, I pretty much concur. I still remember the tgif where someone asked him a very pointed question about real names and he completely dodged the question. Vic was a very bad thing for the company.

If you use protocol buffers or similar libraries, you get variable-length integers (usually a 7 bits per byte encoding), which have no natural size limit. (You can go out of your way to get fixed-length integers in protocol buffers, but pre

You just switched the subject of the conversation from "luxury condos for wealthy people" to "infrastructure". That's a tricky debate tactic. Of course you have to "grow infrastructure," nobody is arguing

I generally agree with you from a policy point of view, but I think you're oversimplifying: The number of wealthy people looking for a pied-à-terre in SF is not a fixed quantity. It seems to me that that number has grown significantly

I think the original article is talking about more long-distance hitchhiking. The sort of localized things like getting a ride from an Appalachian Trail trailhead into town, or a lift back up Teton Pass, or into LCC (all of which I've

It seems likely that the owners will "change their mind" and decide to convert the "storage area" back into an apartment once the tenant is gone and they can rent at market rate again.

LVM can only shrink devices by full extents, but LVM is just a wrapper around device-mapper (plus metadata management). By creating device-mapper devices directly with the linear target, you could have gotten sector (512 byte) granularity f
