   It would be nice if you picked local cafes instead of Starbucks. I'm a bit of a coffee nerd and Starbucks offends my taste buds and sensibilities. Actually, it would be cool to have "Meet a Programmer" tables in coworking spa

    Bitstream Vera Sans Mono is the only smooth font I've been able to find that still looks good at smaller sizes, which means more lines of code on the screen. Combined with Solarized (usually light), my eyes have been really really spoi

    "and neither is the extralegal penalty of exile" Okay, so this guy keeps saying some pretty strange things. If he came to the States, he would no doubt be tried in the legal system. He is putting himself into an extralegal positio

    This one is probably my favorite so far: http://wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#7,5,2,2,2,3,2,0,5,3,0... Ends up looking like rain or an old filmreel: http://wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#7,3,5,1,3,4,2,1,1,2,3... Still noise, but look
