From what I can tell it adds to the $35 pi: - a case w/integrated speaker - a keyboard/trackpad combo - a wifi dongle - nice manual That's not too bad for the added $65. The mini keyboard looks nicer than the ~$20 FAVI ones[1

John Carmack talks at length about Haskell in this keynote. Definitely worth watching if you're interested in that stuff.

I'm not saying it's all there yet, just that it's a way forward.

We wrote our RF radio mesh coordinator software in Haskell, and it's been a great success. Working with binary data formats (various building control protocols) in Haskell is the kind of thing that spoils you forever. The one issue I&#

Every statement by Clapper has mentioned repeatedly how the program is lawful and falls under Section 702 of the FISA act approved by congress etc., etc. But that assertion is meaningless because as a couple of brave senators have let us kn

Very cool! Small suggestion: In the case of selecting an item that's not the topmost, it would be nice if it was a one-step process rather than two (you need to first highlight with ctrl+letter, then activate with Enter). Maybe a repea

+1 for this, also check out Graham's io9 video on the Counting Problem. The solution is beautiful and really got me excited about Haskell when I was first learning: http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/C9-Lectures-Erik-Meijer-Func...

Agreed. Any relationship where you can freely "entertain ideas without accepting them" (- Aristotle) is something to be cherished. pg wrote an essay on this topic, for anyone interested: http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html

Anyone smart enough to have an interesting opinion on this topic is probably also smart enough to see that there's absolutely no upside to expressing that opinion. It either parallels the mainstream (in which case it's redundant) or it diff

When this topic comes up I always marvel at the _intellectual_ shortcuts people take to justify the _practical_ shortcuts they take to simplify the hiring process. Working with someone is the only way to evaluate what it will be like to wor

I like vimwiki + Dropbox. You get the added benefit of being able to make notes on the run with an app like Writeroom that syncs to Dropbox.

Neat idea. I'd definitely donate if the whole thing was going to be open sourced so I could run it on my own infrastructure. Currently we use csshX for this sort of thing, and it does the job. It's an open source tool that opens a bunch of

I don't see any marketing speak, but there's a lot of Clojure terminology. If you're not familiar with Clojure I can see how this could be annoying. REPL: read/eval/print/loop (think irb from Ruby, although there's more to it). http://en.w

I really like the coffeescript + haskell feel. I always miss haskell's '$' for function application and '.' for composition. LiveScript has both (<| and .). Check out the "10 LiveScript one-liners to impress your friends" post. Great st
