Regarding audio, I agree and think this is an awesome way to make content more accessible/ARIA-friendly. You can't reasonably expect every page on the web to have a spoken version, but if I maintained a blog I'd be willing t

I actually mentor at one of the schools mentioned in the article (Academy for Software Engineering in Manhattan). Really cool to see it featured here since they incorporate CS into their curriculum throughout all four years of high-school.

I think he might just be glossing over some details? At any rate, from what I understand ZFS has a 'zil' write cache for small log writes, and a l2arc for common reads that don't fit into memory. This is just a dev setup, but

What I'm wondering is if this model would work for other things besides hair, where the retail outlet is constrained on the ability to hold inventory. Maybe mechanics shops?

Since this is all remote powershell, it would be nice if MS/Windows introduced a native SSH server. That would probably help drive some conversion for people used to the posix world.

That plus Dokku could make for a nice Heroku clone/replacement. Was a bit buggy when I tried it a year ago, but the main dev has been sponsored by Deis to support the project for about a day a week now, so I'm guessing it's s

I do need to try an iBook, but I think good old fashioned web pages work great for reference material [1], especially if you can combine it with something like Diigo [2] for note-taking. Can't beat the book-markability and searchabilit
