Something like this might be good for a smaller business with machines on-site. You could replace a rack of beefy heat generating boxes with a few of these and save on power+AC bills. From a data center perspective, I think it has some meri

"Xcode 4 is a free download for all members of the iOS and Mac Developer Programs. Log in to your account to begin the download." - from the Xcode download page. Slightly annoying that it costs money now, but $4.99 for a full featured IDE (

I can't put a number on the amount of people I know who don't regularly back up their files themselves. One in particular lost gigs of precious photos during a laptop hard drive failure. A company whose mandate is to provide continuity of s

it generates a list of prime numbers up to 'n', including some false positives. The author wasn't kidding about it being nasty to read...

Nice work. How are you liking the flask/mongo combination?

It's great for this. I'd love not having to worry about replication for small side projects.

here's the version I came up with, based on one I did in python. It's very similar to jaysoo's - needs a call with no args to terminate the list. I'm curious if there's a way to do this somehow without the terminator. I'm not a JS expert by

There is also a project called Lettuce. It isn't quite as 'natural language' as Cucumber, but the added syntax isn't too much and is still quite readable.

This is a situation where adjustable showerheads come in handy. Just aim it at an angle that gives you some room to reach in...

My list is pretty much identical to this, aside from mongrel2 (looked at it briefly though). I'm loving flask + mongo in combination; they make prototyping webapps almost effortless.

It's not that hard to keep social identities separate. Don't add your Great Aunt Mildred as a friend on Facebook. If you really must, it's not like it's difficult to make separate accounts (annoying maybe, but not difficult). Or, don't use

I used to get this wrong all the time too. Mentally, I'd be thinking "ln -s source destination", where source was the link and destination was what it pointed to. Of course, that's completely backwards. 'man ln' on OSX didn't help either, s

Canada has a similar program called the self-employment benefit. The requirement for application is to have been in receipt of employment insurance benefits in the previous 36 months. To get in, you have to meet with a case manager and form

While gunicorn isn't necessarily the fastest according to Nicholas Piël's tests, I like it for its ease of use. It is very simple to get up and running and has some features like the ability to ratchet up and down the number of worker proce

Nicely done. I made something vaguely similar as a weekend project. Mine is a lot more minimal and focused more on just tracking things to watch. Perhaps I'll post it if i can find enough time to get it online.

I'm reading China Miéville's The City And The City. It's quite interesting so far. I also have some Charles Stross on my list.

I had some pretty bad luck when I signed up a couple weeks ago. The node I was on was very unstable. Fortunately they are pretty responsive and have moved me to a stable node in a different DC. The new node is way more solid. As for cost, i

it seems a bit on the easy side (only took me a few mins), but I like the idea. It was a fun challenge.

I find it's less about the language you're coding in and more about the project. Find something engaging and interesting to work on and derive happiness from that. Of course, liking the tool you're using can help, but it shouldn't be the de
