Hah, I ended up with a very similar system: raspberry pi plus a razberry z-wave controller[1], IR receiver and cheap universal remote, and a node app that exposes a simple API as well as a simple UI. stunnel plus port forwarding on my route

Yes, actually they almost always do. Two-character last names are pretty rare (and of those, many are transliterations from other languages).

Indeed: I solved this minor issue with a 23 line C program that compiles to a 8766 byte binary. It's really not a big deal. (Mine doesn't pass on signals, but that's not important for us.)

If you think that's good, you should read the whole book (and all the books within it). It gets much better.

I haven't written anything up yet. To summarize, I use the standard acoustic model (hub4wsj_sc_8k) with a combination of keyword activation and a fixed grammar (in jsgf format). It's normally listening for a wakeup keyword, and wh

I found pocketsphinx pretty easy to work with. I use it for command voice recognition for home automation stuff. It's even pretty accurate when using limited vocabulary models, after some tweaking. There are python bindings, though the

I turn the brightness on my monitors way down and use redshift on computers and lux on my phone. (The color temperature thing is more about improving sleep than ocular health, though.) I also use slightly less powerful (by ~.25) contact len

These problems would basically all go away if you used a process monitor to handle setting up the environment for the server process, including fds 1 and 2, and then just let it log to stdout or stderr. Any halfway-decent process monitor ca

The lock screen is indeed infuriating! Does anyone know if there's a way to restore the old behavior where you could enter your pattern lock immediately after pressing the power button? The extra swipe serves no purpose at all, given t

Maybe look at a Cubox-i4 Pro? (Or the equivalent Hummingboard.) Depends what you mean by image processing.

In my recent experience, server boot time is more important to me than desktop boot time. My desktop and laptop basically never boot anymore, they just suspend and resume. But I wait for ec2 instances to boot at least several times a week.

To be honest, I don't think I've ever tracked a problem down to that race condition. But I'm willing to believe some of the things that systemd does (and increased parallelization in general) might increase the likelihood of

He's missing the point about socket activation. The problem it solves is different: if you have daemon B that depends on daemon A, you want to express that dependency in the init system, so that it starts A before B. But just starting

If you like that, you might love The Glass Bead Game. It also made me think differently about the Church (and many other things), and includes similar themes of collapse and stability.

These days you should use Splitwise: https://www.splitwise.com/ (Not affiliated, just a happy user. And there's a nice network effect if more people use it, so more people should use it.)

It's almost certainly none of those exactly. There's many many ways for a bottled spirit to taste different even if it came from the same distillery. Four Roses uses two different mash bills (i.e. proportion of grains) and five ty

I agree the regular Stranahan's is just ok, but a friend had a bottle of one of their special releases (I forgot the details, but it had a silver label, so probably a Snowflake) and it was significantly better. Check it out if you get

Yeah, the default card in my X220 was a piece of crap. I got one of these for $15 and replaced it myself (took 10 minutes) and it's been muuuuch better. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Advanced-N-6205-wifi-card-Thin.

Obviously, different people get different amounts of pleasure from eating, and specifically eating a wide variety of flavors and types of food. It's not that hard to imagine someone who derives a lot of pleasure from eating "exoti

I bought a TIC in SF using Redfin as my agent. They rebate around half of their commission back to you (with a minimum for the amount they keep). It's not quite disrupting the industry, but maybe it's a start. Part of the way they

Restaurants are a bad example. First, have you tried getting a seat at a trendy restaurant on Friday night in SF? Second, most popular restaurants deliberately charge less than an equilibrium price to avoid seeming unfair, and to keep all t

I use VirtualPostMail. I'm on the cheapest plan, $10/month, plus an average of maybe $5 for forwarding certain things. I don't get much mail, though.

In the US, that situation is called a "right hook", and it's indeed very dangerous for cyclists. Once you know about it, though, it's pretty easy to ride defensively and avoid it: just refuse to pass on the right of a ca

Finally, an article on the situation that puts an accurate (i.e. large) amount of the blame on the cities of the peninsula and south bay. Also, prop 13 is the worst thing ever. Reading that section was really depressing.
