I've found that logging off of Twitter and Facebook make a difference for me. My password is in a password manager so that adds yet another step. Anything to break the "muscle memory" and habit of reaching for a procrastinati

Check out the article "Learning Chess at 40" published by nautilus. It's just like you describe with the author's kid.

You're excitement is definitely contagious! I'm always wondering what people do with these things though? What kind of projects? Just getting started with electronics myself and not quite sure what to make of microcontrollers yet.

There is an active home brew computer / cpu scene that demonstrates how to accomplish this cheaply. No need to spend anywhere near what this megaprocessor costs

As kabes pointed out above, there are more exceptions than the ones you mention. Don't forget bind, call/apply, strict mode, and arrow functions. "this" is just a reference to the function context. Function context has a

That's really neat. I like that it's solving a language problem and coming up with something intelligible and fun. It is also right in the sweet spot for complexity. A nice "hello programming language" exercise indeed

Yes, but the debt required to do that kind of work is completely unsustainable. 150-200k debt to service on a 60k salary working in human rights. Only with family help or huge sacrifice

The author actually has put up a site that links to the kits. I just bought it and am about half way through the book. It's great! The kit I got is from Chaney electronics. It is linked to from the site [1]. There's a more expensi

You're mistaken if you think that trump is presenting any kind of rational argument. Instead he is appealing to his voter base, many of whom feel that the mainstream media and Silicon Valley companies are silencing conservative viewpoi

Which is why the 40 hour work week and dog-eat-dog economy seem to really suit those representatives just fine. No one has time or energy to make full use of representative democracy, unfortunately, except for some of the well off with reso

I've read a few chapters of this and have found it be well written and a great introduction to assembly programming. It was written for 32-bit but so far everything works just fine on my 64 bit linux system. Also it was interesting to

I'm reading Hackers by Stephen Levy right now and DEC's pdp computer era as described seems like a real golden age. I'd enjoy more history book recommendations along this line if anyone knows of some

I think the assumption is that any sufficiently motivated attacker will find a way to compromise their target. What e2e encryption accomplishes is the end of dragnet surveillance of entire societies, something that Snowden has exposed in gr

I'm not sure it's worth learning the emacs key bindings for text editing if you already know vim. Just turn on evil mode and use that. I could be totally wrong here but I haven't seen any real defenders of emacs key bindings.

that's actually another nice thing about spacemacs. Install the Java layer and read its documentation, and you'll have a decently curated experience with several plugins set up for you. At least, assuming the maintainer of the Jav

I think redis definitely has a place as a pubsub channel in a micro services architecture, and that in this capacity it solves the issue of sharing information among services. I'm not really seeing your point about atomic operations th

Agreed. I've been using spring for about 1.5 years now and it has saved me huge amounts of time. The only time it hasn't picked up changes was on initializers and the router, which is understandable. I can't imagine developin

Yeah I suppose you're right -- I was hoping it'd be less clunky on mobile but I tried it and it's not much better. Scratch from MIT seems to be more promising but there is no mobile client unfortunately

This got me thinking about other ways in which this stuff is a problem. Yesterday I found a podcast that I could only download as an mp3. I loaded it up in safari but there is no way to "save" the file because iOS doesn't giv

Why can't you mount NFS shares over a statically configured ethernet port? And what do you mean by "it must be your primary port"? All of your other points sound reasonable and likely, but I'm curious what you meant by t

Hey I voted you up. I really enjoyed the article and came back to upvote for that. My initial knee jerk reaction to your post was that it's slightly besides the point -- an interesting aside but somewhat off topic for the post. I suppo
