3rd Ward in Brooklyn has a wood shop and metal shop among other things (so not quite the FabLab of your dreams) but there are literally tons of places like this, it's just a matter of looking for them.

Like the printing resolution. Oh yeah, you can get rid of the ridges for a perfectly smooth model. They're called "interns". Bring your sandpaper and a dustmask! That being said, I'm glad that they're recognizing the ability to extend their

I'll refrain from posting them here and from getting them myself because I don't want to encourage domain squatting, but there are some really good ones here. Maybe a few have been taken, but if you browse around enough I'm sure it wouldn

Related: I think perhaps the most valuable aspect of teaching beginners how to use vim/emacs (in a basic sense at least) is that it isn't necessarily just for programming. You can "practice" with just about everything you write, and if you

I was hoping someone else would say this. Some time ago I stopped bookmarking sites in the browser, relying instead on the principle of "if it's important, it's memorable"... then I stumbled upon Paul Bourke's page (while looking for a docu

Sadly every minute gained with vim/emacs/anything is another 10 minutes wasted arguing about it... Disclaimer: I use vim because I just like it. The key to becoming more efficient in my opinion? Learning to type faster. Saves you all kind
