I'm certainly no expert, but I've never been able to run a spinning disk HDD off of a raspberry pi without a powered USB hub. I imagine the thermals and form factor would be hurt pretty badly by including a plausible power supply.

I move everything around manually on login, and then try not to log out. For a while I was using xmonad, and setting things to automatically land on the right workspace was easy there, but ultimately I like the i3wm experience better. I saw

I think that i3wm is amazing for single-monitor development; it lets me switch workspaces as quickly as flicking my eyes over to another monitor.

On my personal machine, I use i3wm, and on my work machine I use OSX with Spectacle (a window tiler). For me, the killer feature of i3wm is not how it lets me arrange windows on my screen, but how it lets me switch between them. With OSX, I

I think you misunderstand me. I'm not afraid to let my freak flag fly. I just realized that I wasn't leaving a lot of space for other people in group conversations.

Don't worry, there are still plenty of jokes. I just realized that my jokes were shutting off other people who might be saying something, or redirecting the conversation away from something interesting. So now I just stifle them if I c

IANAN, but living abroad when I was about 25 really improved my humility. I'm used to being quick-witted, knowledgable, and generally good with people. When I got to a place where English is not the default language, I was essentially

True, but it's an aerobic decomposition that produces CO2. Landfills tend to create anaerobic environments, where decomposition produces methane. Both are greenhouse gases, yes, but methane is the more potent of the two.

The "Haskell implementation using monoids" on this page is the only solution I've seen where adding a new behavior (e.g. "FizzBuzzWoof") only requires a modification in one spot. (d 3 "Fizz" <> d

Thanks for the concise review. Off-topic question, though: > but due to the ports issue (which Apple are taking the piss with) What does "taking the piss with" mean in this context?

Set triggers for yourself to do a tension check. I used to work in a cube farm with a coworker who had a very forced "please somebody ask me what's so funny" laugh that he would use several times a day. Whenever I heard that

When you search for information on google, the results page contains a 'tools' link up top. If you click it, you have the option to restrict your search to a variety of time frames. In my experience, any result from more than a ye

I'm a middling JS programmer myself, but I have two tips to share. First, when you're wondering how to do some specific thing (say, filtering an array by some predicate), search for 'es6 filter array', rather than '

This is a great book. I brought it on vacation once, read it end to end, and was a much better Haskeller afterwards. However, it was written a long time ago, and is missing a lot of Haskell's recent history. The book targets GHC 6.8, w

This is a great example of interactive writing. The playable demos are thoughtfully chosen. One of them even made me laugh. Kudos to the author.

That sounds like a pretty cool project. Just a heads up, your lever links are broken. It looks like you've dropped the last few digits of your UUIDs.

I saw Penn and Teller live when I was much younger. At one point in the show, they announced that they were famous debunkers, and were therefor going to explain exactly how the next trick was performed. They went through it step by step, wi

It's not clear from your formatting, but the line was 1 = 1 ^ 23456789 I thought it was really cool that this pattern is used elsewhere to collapse any prefix into 1, e.g. 9 = (1 ^ 2345678) * 9

I'm not a working scientist, so I can't speak to whether or not this is a sufficient platform to bypass journals, but I thought I'd put in a plug for the Center for Open Science. [0] I'm not affiliated, just a fan of the

I see where you're coming from, but poems, plays, and sculpture are "the fruits of the ancient world." A work like the Iliad only comes around once every few millennia, and no synopsis will frame its ideas so starkly. The I

You are certainly not alone. I both meditate (sometimes) and practice yoga (intermittently), and while both make me feel great and have noticeable effects on my productivity, they're both so much damned work. Once I miss a few consecut

I know that it is considered suicidally hubristic to use homegrown cryptography; does that apply to writing your own implementation of a trusted protocol? It seems like it'd be a cool project, but I don't want my github profile to

Thanks, that's a more apt link than symbiogenesis. However, it doesn't change the fact that, when viewed from 10,000 feet, the tree of life looks more like a tree than a web. Especially with regards to the question "did neuro
