For enterprise Mac management I've found the Casper Suite to be awesome: http://www.jamfsoftware.com/ (no affiliation) It can easily create thin images for setting up new machines (make a small base install and then give the computer app

Yes, the large scale solution from Microsoft is System Center Configuration Manager, which I use extensively at work. SCCM has a lot of strengths, but it's not really suited to small operations: it has a lot of complexity that smaller orgs

For an example of making Pong using FRP, check out this: http://elm-lang.org/blog/games-in-elm/part-0/Making-Pong.htm... It's not a very long read, and it will help make FRP more concrete with a practical example.

Well, even when I was in a cheapo apartment with a rather poor electric stove I was able to stir fry as long as I paid attention to how much I cooked at once. Wok Fast teaches a technique that works pretty well for cooking meat + vegetable

The Victorinox Fibrox that he recommends is indeed a great knife for general cooking. I have a lower-middle range gyuto but I usually use the Fibrox because it's easier to take care of. While I cook mostly vegetables, a friend of mine who i

Thanks for this -- I've been thinking about taking up SICP but I'm not that math-oriented (I do want to change that, though!) I think that I'll pick this book up first.

Another good one, although Scheme oriented (like SICP) is How To Design Programs: http://www.htdp.org/ The second edition is a work in progress, but it gets you going pretty quickly with graphical programs, so it's a bit less cerebral (an

For anime in this genre, the pace can be a bit slow at times. This series is definitely character driven, as opposed to being event driven (although there are of course events that drive the characters). Since it's a bit of a "coming of age

At first I thought this article would be about squat toilets (which I did also encounter in Greece). While it's true that a squat toilet means that you don't have to sit on something that other people have sat on, it also leaves a lot of ro

I've been trying to understand why Russia, and particularly China, have been backing Iran and Syria so strongly. What is it that gives Iran and Syria such influential roles in Russian and Chinese foreign policy that they are willing to flau

I don't know if it's because I'm colorblind (red-green), but looking at this page gives me a headache... you might want to test it out with some other colorblind people.

Ah yes, we previously had a box spring but opted for the slatted frame. I like it a lot, and I like having the bed lower to the ground (although the best my back ever was when I slept on tatami for a semester in Japan)

My wife and I almost got a Sleep Innovations mattress, but in the end we felt that we couldn't buy a mattress that we hadn't had a chance to try out. We both like a very firm mattress, which can be difficult to find. While it's true that ly

by muraiki 14y ago
You could sell the custom sized mattress at cost, but then charge a premium for the sheets. That way you make money off of the sheets, which wear out more quickly than a mattress anyways. Edit: I'm joking...

Good point! The stop will never be instant... and you'd better have good grip on your shoes, too. While I think this product will be pretty neat, I can't see it revolutionizing transportation simply because longboarding requires a good amou

Where I live, there are many urban areas but also many hills / roads with long inclines. Longboarding isn't that popular here because: 1) You can't longboard up a hill, or even much of an incline. 2) More importantly, when you go _down_ a h

As a colorblind gamer, I'm always pleased to see an option for colorblind correction in games. It's typically only a problem in competitive games where the team colors might be difficult to tell apart. But I do remember having to enlist hel

Wow, I had no idea that they said stuff like that on their site. Even though it specifies "PC viruses," the average computer user doesn't understand the distinction. Just last night a relative mentioned how Macs don't get viruses (which I c

This game seems to be a mix between MTG, Heroes of Might and Magic, and Plants vs Zombies. An interesting take on the CCG genre! I look forward to playing it.

That's true. I remember when I stayed in Japan for a while, initially I found the food underwhelming. It turns out that good 'ol Japanese homecooking isn't designed for the American palate, which is accustomed to lots of sugar, fat, and cal

We might also want to think about _why_ some foods taste bland. I feel that I'd never really tasted what a tomato tastes like until I had some at a monastery in Greece. I was surprised to see tomatoes sitting out at dinner, seemingly to be
