I identify with the sentiment this person wrote about. My first language was GW basic/logo at around that age, learned some pascal/C around high school, and just tried to learn more. I miss those days, being a youngster and progra

True. It seems that when you're far out, scrolling is kind of slow. It's like watching Robbie Robot play NES. :) Zooming in scales up the speed because you're closer to the ground But it's fun. It seems like it's ki

I like it. I went into it completely blind, not knowing what I would get. The display felt like it was making the units, buildings and scenery seem too small and I was often squinting. This caused tension to build up in my neck and head, wh

That certainly seems doable. Thanks for this tip.

> It's not about good ideas, its about their implementation's good design. That's true, and I've heard it often. But I have to have some idea to do, and the skill or smarts to pull it off.

> Maybe you need to get out of the tech-site bubble :) Yeah, maybe. i don't use social stuff too much, but I'm mostly experienced with enterprise stuff. Not sure how to talk to them, too, or even what their problems really are.

Kudos to him. I'm not bitter or upset but I'm thinking: Why can't I think of stuff people want? Maybe I don't know how to listen? He's a human, just like me, but I can't do anything. Maybe asking this questio

As an aside, this isn't as 'hi-tech' but with a paper plate, styrofoam bowl, sheet of paper and a magnet you can make a speaker, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Awef78YtWmc#t=8s It's just a neat thi

"...I'm currently working a full time dev job, a part time dev job at nights, and my startup on the weekends." That sounds neat. How did you get a part-time dev job?

I think everything up until main.c:909 is setup. The while look at 909 is an event loop of sorts. Between that and line 1024 is receiving the network code, IIRC. There is some GL code after that to render GL, it looks like.

This is neat! Fantastic, even! The math is less theoretical and more systems oriented. The choice of python, modern psuedocode that runs, is great, too. The naive Bayes chapter is useful, too. One might want to look at Udacity's AI cou

I feel like I'm greatly missing out on new stuff like this. I'm trying to get a turtle bot together and build a sort of lab component of Prof Thrun's robot car class. But I wonder what else I could be doing. Anyone have point

Thank you for building this. As weird as it sounds saying this out loud, you've made the world slightly better.

Hmm. this is good. but my build environment is kind of wonky. Can I just hand it a .tar.gz and say, put it in /usr/asdf and let it run? What about python scripts? Maybe I just give it a location to an RPM? like in this document?

Hey, docker newb here. Can I easily put my own software in it? I've got this c++ program that has a few dependencies in ubuntu.

So I'm just curious...but how does the ledger work? It's supposed to be eventually consistent, so nodes on the network eventually get a copy. How do they determine that everyone gets one?

this applies to me. I'm very alone pretty much most of the time. Not really had friends and not great at making them. For the last 11 months I've tried going out and being the most positive person I can, to be a friend to as many

My first reaction was to call up my representatives ... but I wonder if doing so would put me on some kind of 'special' list.

I think everyone got hung up on the implementation details. For example, the engineers saw pins and they all saw blood in the water.

It's not crazy talk. :) I seem to remember retrieving from a BBS way back when, an MS-DOS shareware pascal or C compiler of some kind that would leave behind a serial number foot print in executables that the author said he could use t
