I'm hopelessly inexperienced, but I want to do this as well. Getting USB (even for just keyboard and mouse emulation) and networking, in addition to high resolution video seems like it could be possible using one of the more powerful S

Walking down the street and experiencing hospitable conditions could be considered a project we're all heavily invested in, yet none of us expect a monetary reward. "Survival of the fittest" can be interpreted in the same man

In Los Angeles a large majority of our holiday packages had one or more newer (to me) "bubble wrap" sheets instead of the Sealed Air pouches made from two 15"x15" sheets of a thicker plastic film sealed into 2" sphe

I was inspired to write a very basic working proof-of-concept based on your idea: https://gist.github.com/tcdent/742f62f7082bd4a0b958865a893cb...

Duh. OP suggests liquid cooling would give some benefit to acoustic performance. Really, it just adds complexity and bulk; it's not some magic solution to efficiency or increased performance. Especially in a compact form factor. If vol

Liquid circulation doesn't actually cool, just transfers the energy to another interface for eventual dissipation into the air.

Is it really that sacrilegious to just put your comments inside of a parseable data format? Python provides programmatic access to docstrings, for example, and it has many valid uses.

Have you gone through the approval process? The accepted use cases are very restrictive, and specifically do not support allowing you to access more than 20 of your own posts. "I want to display hashtag content and public content

In addition to other major legal restrictions, the latest API update crossed a line for accessing your own posts; now you can only retrieve 20 of the most recent entries and pagination has been disabled. Yes, Instagram legally owns your dat

Curious if you've researched the expected accuracy and variance of the cheaper products. 10 points is significant, and it's my understanding that even the brand-name stuff varies by a few points.

Game Genie is why a lot of the older consoles have trouble connecting to cartridges; they built it with a slightly thicker interface, presumably to give it mechanical 'preference' over the game cart on removal, but it can permanen

Physically, absolutely not. Socially, yes, but only enough to stave off complaisance.

My point is that nobody should ever have to choose; it's de-humanizing in every regard.

Take your analogy and apply it in the other direction; pretend for a second that people were able to choose their race. Are you suggesting that having the option to make that choice is somehow a way out? It's merely symptomatic and utt

If there's anything to learn from the diversity conversation, it's that really, we're all quite different, and we shouldn't be afraid to act like it. Participants in monoculture are the real culprit. Notable that in this

I have a long beard. Nearly every conversation with a new person involves some question about it; often "how long did I take?". I don't get mad at people for behaving predictably, I expect it.

Personally, I'm interested in programming for the sound chip; maintaining multiple harmonies with varying ADSR and noise to try to get as much depth as possible. I'm not a low-level developer, so my progress thus far trying to fit

Set up your own site, remove any mention of the reference image, watch users continue normally. "Huh, they must have finally gotten rid of that dumb thing."

I do all of my development on a 2015 Macbook Air and run a Linux virtual machine almost every day. Still plenty of battery to get me through more than a full day of work and casual browsing. Way better than Linux on the desktop. Way easier

I don't consider myself an authority on this, but that's one of the most convincing skimmers I've ever seen. Significant effort went into designing and manufacturing that.

I hope this type of funding continues to grow. A significant number of people getting paid to contribute to public software sounds like some utopia to me. More people could strive to create projects that actually make the world a better pla

What a trashy, incongruent rant of an article. Regardless, a vast majority of their content doesn't include any reference to marketable brands. If the OP is accusing them of being a PR news agency, I have seen very little evidence of i

More people than you think follow this advice, which just leaves us with misunderstood anonymous social interactions. It's OK if you don't want to spend the time to explain the nuance of your personal existence, but do understand

I don't even develop platform-specific apps and I'm happy to pay the cost of a new machine every few years. Three machines, purchased new, have provided my sole income source for over a decade, at a cost of about $1000 per year. N
