I started to get better once I began to understand what had happened to me. It's awesome that you are already aware of your coping habits, how it's affecting you, and what you are trying to avoid. It took me a long time to realize

If you build the dome tall enough it isn't really an issue. My dome is a 20' diameter 5/8 dome and my head will only touch if I am standing 4" away from the wall. Each of the 15 sides is around 4' long on a 20&#x27

I just started using enpass today. They have a native Linux app, it works almost identically to 1password, and you can import your 1password vault.

This is my first week back on Linux after using OSX for ~4 years. I switched because it's cheaper. I needed more power and building a Linux desktop is way cheaper than buying Mac hardware. So far: KDE is incredibly nice. I'm pr

It looks like only glot-www is Haskell. glot-snippets and glot-run are both erlang APIs, and glot-code-runner is a go application.

Nice, it reminds me of Ken Isaacs. He designed free standing living structures with movable pallets so they could be reconfigured and plywood skins for privacy. You can read his book online [ https://issuu.com/golfstromen&#

I've used RAML for the past six months, but only to generate documentation. It's pretty easy to learn. A RAML file is a lot cheaper to rewrite, so I write RAML first and figure out if the endpoint makes sense before I write the

Its actually an open source hardware design built around a Freescale quad core arm CPU. It is definitely designed to be user replaceable; you can print your own boards if you want. Info here: https://www.crowdsupply.com/sut

I started learning HTML / PHP when I was 14. It took me 10 years to get decent at it. I dropped out of school when I was 15. I worked odd jobs; settled on working as a bike mechanic. Did that while doing random programming gigs on

I switched to a Wacom pad and I really like it. It's a little weird to get used to picking up the pen but that is mostly when context switching between programming and web browsing. I have heard good things about using a vertical mous

I just moved to the bay area for work and I rented from Brandon for a week while I went apartment hunting. I don't think he's a 'scumbag' or profiting off of others misfortune. I was able to rent a place to crash for ~$

The sailing documentary they briefly mention in the article is called Hold Fast. If there are any HN readers that are into sailing I highly recommend it. You can watch it here: https://vimeo.com/15351476

Unfortunately, it looks like it is impossible to use Popcorn Time for any non infringing purposes. You can't add other trackers and it seems to filter out torrents that aren't from popular movie/tv piracy release groups. Th

I think it does and it's something I work on. I don't think speed is as important as touch typing with less errors. having to backspace every couple of lines because you hit ' instead of ; really messes up flow. I started p

I just interviewed a few days ago and was agonizing over the same thing. The place I interviewed at had a casual dress code - jeans, t shirts, shorts etc. It's a software company, not a company that has in house software. I didn&#x27

The issue of temp files is covered by the author's approach of having a dev and a live folder. This is probably primarily useful for static sites html sites which wouldn't need to worry about that. I work with a largely non techn

When I was looking to experiment with Contiki I realized that most of the supported micro controllers are a lot more powerful than an Arduino or something comparable, and a lot more expensive for a development board. There are some ports to
