Check out IHaskell - https://github.com/gibiansky/IHaskell It lets you do multiline stuff, and you get to see the output right away. You don't need let, or to repeat the "main = do ..." every time you wa

Actually it could be. Let's say there's this beacon software that lets you look a bit into how someone interacts. Say you get to know what 'spending tier' they're in - high, medium, or low. You also get to see how m

That's an awesome chord keyboard - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJDv-zdhzMY#t=2039 I've always wondered why more people don't use them. It seems significantly less prone to errors - instead of fat fingers o

I wish there was more of this type of information about injection molding, that seems like more of a dark art than electronic assembly. What do you guys think of having the component manufacturer source the parts? I've seen some that p

Can anyone explain to me how they're worth $3 billion dollars? They haven't produced anything, they haven't advanced humanity, they have the eyeballs of teens - for the moment, until something cooler comes along. Are they rea

That's kind of interesting. They seem to be tracking the expected delivery date really well. At first, it says 1-2 business days. Then it went to November 5th, then it moved to November 8th. The black 16gb is moving the quickest at the

That sounds nice actually. It might not be for a little bit yet (got some more design to do first), but send me an email (in my profile) to touch base.

That wasn't intended to be the final one, but I made it and it worked. It was printed with support material that peeled off a little too strongly, exfoliating the back surface. The orientation is kind of tricky as there's a lip&#x

That's something I only put a little bit of thought into, as I'm not very worried about my bike getting stolen. It would be non-functional if someone stole it without stealing the magnet and reed switch as well, but they wouldn&#x

I actually went to the local university - they said that you can't use university resources for personal gain (I was trying to print a case on their 3D printer). I'm sure there would be some people in the engineering department wi

Definitely possible, thanks for the suggestion. I'll consider it and do a visibility test. There's 5 LEDs on the back - three reds and two amber turn signals. When blinking, the center red LED stays solid to provide a reference fo

So auto on / off is engaged with a reed switch and spoke mounted magnet. Auto on is more of a user convenience than a battery saver - you never need to think about turning your back lights on again. You will be seen when you ride. The

Not at the moment. I'll shoot you a PM or something if I get something together. Or maybe you'll see it on kickstarter one day :)

I've thought about Kickstarting a bit. I guess my hesitation is that I'm terrified of pulling the trigger to get something injection molded. I don't trust my 3D modeling abilities enough to know that when I get something inje

This thread needs more hardware. I'm making bike lights. First a little story. I was late to class one day in March, pothole season. I was cruising in the drops, when I came up to a T intersection. A van pulls up, and stops at the stop

I have not used Octoprint. I actually use a homemade printer with LinuxCNC and a HobbyCNC driver. It's a bit more fiddly than an off the shelf printer that's fully scriptable, but I really like looking at something I made drive ar

Awesome, didn't see that before. Maybe turn it on by default, then have the option to back it off? Why is the quantity bump represented as an error with big warning signs? Shouldn't it be a good thing? Is there any way to represen

If you learn well with books, check out "Javascript: The Good Part" by Douglas Crockford. I don't usually learn well with books, but that one really clicked with me.

Awesome, good luck! Are you doing it with a program or going solo? Do they have access to computers, or are you bringing some in?

You should add a demo or something - that landing page is a bit ominous, and I don't really want to sign up for something that I haven't seen yet.

If you aren't liking what you're doing, pick something else up. Go try out a different hobby, get into painting, cooking, meditating, whatever. Don't burn yourself out grinding teeth on something you don't enjoy doing. M

That's pretty cool. When you're reading, at any point did you feel 'choppiness' of what you were reading, or do you get used to it? When looking at the trailer, I was finding my inner voice was more robotic than reading
