Thanks for sharing this bit of history. Very interesting given Seymour Papert is the inventor of Logo. Do you have any link, reference or picture about lego logo?

Also I wouldn't recommend buying a used set. The joints can't hold two pieces together after some time.

Wow, I saw some pics of Robotix and it looks awesome and very similar to capsela. Thanks for sharing!

Author here, thanks a lot for the suggestion. I will definitely consider some of these. I have a daughter and I bought her two capselas back when I wrote the blog post two years ago and she wasn't that interested. I think she expected

Thanks! I'll fix the post. I loved propellers and floating vehicles although I didn't have a pool to test it out back then.

I grew up with a 386SX , newer than yours but again very outdated when I got it. I remember going to downtown in bus with my brother to a game store, watching amazing games in catalogs and then going back to home with 40 floppy disks just t

Our main cluster is on azure west us but we have another cluster on amazon east and route53 on top of that. When the main clusters fails, route53 switch to secondary, so we where not affected at all this time. The only manual step was to de

We use a linter (jshintrc) and we put a .jshintrc with the configs we agree on our team on every project. We work a lot with opensource projects and you need to respect the project style. Since some of our stuff was created from other thing

Thanks for sharing, application support is something I didn't consider on my post and yes I can see a great value there. Regarding Gnome, KDE and XFCE, I think these are not that bad, but I understand having different experiences than

I tried once but now I don't understand it. The main benefit for me using OSx is that is a nix desktop os that works well on a very specific hardware. Having used linux on the desktop before for years I always had some problem with dri

I think you are looking for Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications (TOSCA) [1] which allows you not only to create one node but a cluster, their drives, network rules, autoscalling etc. There is also another projec

I've been thinking about this as well. An interesting idea will be an opensource software that you can deploy on aws, azure or something like heroku yourself, and it emails you every month "are you alive?" if you don't a

The link describes something very common. The only difference I can see is that they ask you the email to figure if you are coming from yahoo or Google while the most common pattern is to show two buttons. I don't think asking your ema

I started on VB5/6 and I wouldn't recommend it now, but I believe the language is not that important but the general concepts. Vb6 is a weird language nowadays because is very bad at OOP, is not functional, etc. Another reason I&#

Exactly, in Argentina the situation is similar. The problem is that no body wants bolivar (or pesos) at the official rate because is unfair. Bitcoin can help to make that more fair and here is an example. An example is a person that works

I agree with you, and for me the classification "integration" vs "unit" doesn't add anything. I'd rather distinguish between slow and fast tests. In my opinion TDD is top-down (instead of bottom up) you must st

You got that right. In addition to what you described, the JWT spec also supports an RS family of algorithms (asymmetric). It means that you can sign with a private key and verify with a public key. For instance Google, sign every JWT with
