Of course safety is compatible with being a hacker. However, safety rules are not unique to hackers nor makers. My issue with the parent is the linking to some makerspace's rules as if they speak for the community at large. Much the sa

Those read more akin to safety rules with "hacker" tacked on for theme.

Perhaps I should have been more explicit. I was intending to refer to those who regret their choice after having realized that not all of what they read or heard was true and so made their decision on effectively just an emotional impulse.

Ah, I see. That's certainly an interesting hypothesis. Makes me wonder who the Republican party would target if their typical base evaporates. What would incline center-leaning individuals to continue to support the party after the shi

Yes, the conservatives are done for. That is, the party itself will fail to stay relevant. This doesn't matter to voters. They ought to pick whoever will best serve them. So in that sense, I would argue that yes, they were conned in

I believe you missed my point. Those that cry foul over those targeted Facebook ads also fail to realize that people were still willing to drink the Kool-Aid. Of course, it would be asinine to paint with broad strokes. But one can't di

Well said. No matter the influence of Russians nor widespread manipulation by Cambridge Analytica, the reality is that people chose to believe these things without their own personal endeavor into critical inquiry. And I'm not talking

Love that last link. As a kid who grew up in the Midwest with a soybean field outside the kitchen window, the song put a wide smile on my face.

Hey, I was attempting to apply for the Engineering internship role. It looks like your Lever.co jobs page is broken, as I'm unable to access any job listing linked to from your main website.

Thank you for the reply! What happens when Patreon implements this on their platform though? If its as simple a premise as you make out, what's stopping your competition from encroaching on your share of the market?

Like the design and approach, but what differentiates this from other methods? A Patreon account, PayPal donate button, and public Bitcoin address accomplishes all of the same thing. Is it the community? The ease of setup? Don't get me

Are you thinking of Harel's paper "On Visual Formalisms"? http://www.wisdom.weizmann.ac.il/~harel/SCANNED.PAPERS/Visua... I'm curious to know what famous paper it is so that I can go and read i

I think it's certainly possible; depending on your subject niche, you may even be able to cultivate a rapport with academics in the field you are interested in. For the sake of discussion, let's say you enjoy pastry filling optim

Lovely to hear that your wife had the wherewithal to do that! As an Eagle Scout myself it always puts a smile on my face when I hear about a Scout finding success (after having worked to earn it). The program did a lot for developing my cha

I did a cursory Google search for Klong after your mention. The author of the language (and its book) posts his writings to t3x.org Thank you for the brief mention -- I've been perusing his website and writings and am enamored. There&#

Heck, here at Ohio State we're even required to take a physics course for a computer science (not even EE!) degree.

Your blog post is fascinating and I'm tinkled pink I found it, as I was planning on doing a NES memory visualization project myself for a design class this semester. Your idea of representing the bits as pixels is exactly what I was co

Scratch 3.0 uses Google's Blockly in their new software, for those curious about the similarities. The tech is widely used in many different applications, as evidenced by Microsoft's use of it in MakeCode. Though I'm not a pa

Great and simple write-up. Vaguely remembered nycresistor from other articles I've read, so I'm glad this was posted here. I think HN would be well served to have more front page retro hardware hacking articles. They may not be us

Interesting article, and I'm usually a fan of Nautilus pieces, but isn't this a bit obvious? Almost like 2017 is getting to be the year it's fashionable to poo poo social media (and Facebook in particular). Haven't used

I'm not really sure what to make of this article, as I'm currently a 4th-year student at the main subject, Ohio State. Perhaps as an undergraduate, I am divorced from the specific administrative and funding roadblocks plaguing res

I would recommend SEP ( https://plato.stanford.edu/ ) for your exact purpose. Although not entirely structured as a guide on philosophy, it is very much akin to Wikipedia in that you can get lost for hours. I highly recommend

I've been following Ben's videos on YouTube ever since he started this project and have been totally transfixed. His approach to building an 8-bit computer on a breadboard has also spawned a bunch of interest from the community. J

Hah, do you happen to be expecting the need for junior developers in the coming year? ;) And an actual question: when hiring for [junior] web development roles, would you for example take into account knowledge of non-web languages like, sa

California emissions regulations being more stringent than elsewhere (i.e. in the Midwest) means that us flyover rednecks take pride in our big ol' machines that drink up dinosaur guts. Take for example all the stupid-big Ford and Ram
