Indeed, the Robot is a wonderful piece of good old engineering, and it makes fantastic espresso without much fuss. Haven't had to do any maintenance since I got it, almost four years ago. And best of all, shameless plug ahead: It'

I'm glad I stumbled upon his books when researching design patterns early on in my career. His writing in 'The Timeless Way of Building' left a big impression on me, precisely because it didn't reduce building to a seque

Of course this is purely anecdotal, but I also smoke rarely when drinking, and only then. Some nights up to half a pack, sometimes just one or two, but only two to three times a year by now. Interestingly, I have no desire to smoke whatsoev

I agree on all accounts, however I've always taken "Law is a programming language" or, maybe better, "Law is a program" as more of a metaphor. I see many similarities between law and computer programs, it's jus

Regarding point 3: At 150 modules consuming about 25W each, your LED wall is consuming about 3750W max. An 80" TV will consume about 300W. Power consumption of the LED wall will, however, be highly dependent on the displayed content. A

No, f = O(n log n) means that f doesn't grow significantly faster than n log n. That is true for f = n log n, but it's also true for f = n. The "or better" is implicit by using big-O. Note that this wouldn't be true

You probably tried this already, but for reference there is an easy fix for the screen issue which seems to work for most. Google "Pebble display fix", takes 5 minutes max.

Es heißt "unhöflich", und da fehlt ein "dass" (...gehe davon aus, dass wir alle...). Stilistisch etwas besser wäre: "Es tut mir leid, wenn das unhöflich wirkt, aber ich gehe davon aus, dass wir alle unseren Schreibs

The visualizer is really nice, the examples could use some work though. Selection Sort, for example, makes the algorithm look extremely (impossibly) good at first glance - O(n) - because it's not showing the majority of the steps. Inst

These look like diagrams from Bosch Otto ECUs (ME series). FWIW, the ECUs in question (EDC17) use much more descriptive names: Epm_nEng - engine speed; InjCt1_qSetUnBal - set quantity for first injection (roughly); VehV_v - vehicle speed I

I have only written very few pieces of code which I'm not ashamed of right now. A few functions here and there which make me smile when I read them. But despite that I have the feeling that I usually improve the code I touch. I don

For reference, that's about as fast as a Motorola 68030 @50MHz [1] which was used in the AppleIIx, and while that was no slouch when it was released, you wouldn't want to run a modern development environment on such a machine eith

A Windows Phone App which uses the Location Service is required to have a setting to enable/disable the use of this service[1]. It's probably not as comfortable as the solutions of iOS/Android, but it gets the job done. http

I'll be honest with you: I'm maybe not the one to give proper advice on paredit. I'm using C# on my day job, and as such have no use for paredit (I do use ViEmu for VS though, which makes VS bearable) for most of my programmi

Honest advice: The power of paredit lies not in managing the closing parens. I found that the benefits of paredit show only when you use barf/slurp/split/join. Keep the paredit cheat-sheet around ( http://www.emacsw

While your observations are definitely true for the "older" generations (the ones for which many tombstones had to be carved), I'd say that title fetish is fortunately declining quite rapidly. For example, not so long ago it was common to c

Theres somewhat hidden extensive technical information on the developers blog at http://piface.openlx.org.uk/ with the schematic. The chips on the top are actually a simple SPI IO extender (MCP23S17SP) and a power driver (ULN2801A), so th
