I've got a pair of Ergodox Infinity keyboards with good mechanical keys (not clicky) and SA keycaps because I got tired of carrying one back and forth to the office. My RSI is gone and so I feel that the $800 investment is nothing whe

For me it's that discovery is strongly reminiscent of "Chip's Challenge" which our family loved. It was one part scroller game (like Mario?) and one part puzzle game - https://archive.org/details/ch

My "pod" at work has lost its tech-lead twice in two months and it's certainly been challenging to continue with only 60% of the engineers we'd normally have (we've reduced the expected number of points per sprint).

That's an explanation I hadn't considered and the dead sea certainly shows how the area has collected salt.

This is cool but I'm one of those "hands on the keyboard" interactive-fiction players. I'm on my laptop (so I've got to click on the links instead of tap) but I can see how this is ideal on a phone. I did the tuto

It doesn't however explain how Lot's wife was turned into a pillar of salt. The Genesis story also includes a rain of burning sulphur which could have been identified by smell by the ancients. Sulphur isn't mentioned in the

I signed up because I want to take the time to write more - having prompts solves the problem of deciding what to write about but there's no way I'll publish what I write to medium.

I was Calvin when I was young and absolutely love Bill Watterson for it ... seeing even a few panels from him brings back so many memories!

Ruby is a beautiful language - Rails is opinionated (much like its creator). If the ways Rails is opinionated works well with your use-case, it's wonderful to use but if not, it's simply horrible. I don't think RoR usage has

I'd agreed that's true for a small percentage of the population and that the rest are consumers. For these projects, you probably had a "visionary" but it's stated that the creations were likely a community effort

I had a similar experience with a ZX-81 (and a TS-2000). What's interesting related to your "You cannot harm the computer in this way" quote is that I see that experimentation embodied in my kids (who grew up with a PC in th

Imagine how much more creative we'd tend to be if we didn't have television and Internet distractions! What do you do after a long day of herding livestock? Take your chert, grab a drink and carve some camels!

I guess that tells you how long I've been using a modem that I own? At $14 per month you can get a pretty nice modem if you invest six months of payments ... my current modem is seven years old at this point so it's saved me over

You just reminded me of an incident that happened to me on I83 near the PA border - a motorcyclist passed between me and the vehicle in the left lane (yes ... a two-lane road passing on the dashed line) going about 120 MPH. It wasn't

I live about 5 miles (on the same road) as the local Harley Davidson dealership and would love it if HD riders left the stock pipes on their bikes. While the engines do vibrate, don't dismiss the additional concussive force of an unmu

The hardware contains the QAM256 modulators and demodulators as well as the hardware you'd expect in your typical SOHO router. Each of the original six MegaHertz NTSC analog channels now carries multiple HDTV digital channels and the

I like SQL queries as strings but I also like my IDE to syntax check them ... Since there are already so many links to projects in this thread I'll happily introduce fileconst which provides the best of both worlds - https:/&#x2F
