You can write your own modules, you'll just need to fork the repo and write them in Go. There's no DSL for it. Good idea about the config. I'll create a feature issue for it.

In the config.yml file can define the column and row sizes to whichever screen size you like. No reason it couldn't work with those dimensions. Take a look at simple_config.yml in the repo.

FYI: installer auto-downloads but doesn't do any OS detection. Looks like this is Windows-only.

A minor point: a fire-proof safe is not absolutely heat-proof. Put one in a fire, and it will heat up inside. Better ones also tend to release water vapour into the safe itself when heated (as a mechanism for keeping the internal temperatur

As someone who used to work in the IFE software field, I can assure you these systems are perfectly capable of crashing themselves in endless loops without any outside help from the likes of us, thank you very much. ;)

That's a great clarification. Thanks for that! I'd argue that while it may technically not be "criminal punishment", that is ultimately the final outcome. People for whom a criminal conviction cannot be guaranteed are in

I'd argue the fundamental problem is that 'civil forfeiture' is 'guilty until proven innocent', an inversion of the way the rule of law is meant to work. Requiring charges is a very small step in the right direction

For me it seemed to correlate directly with the birth of my son. My theory is that his birth, the emotions of it, the sleep deprivation, and the neuro-chemical onslaught that most likely happened during that same time (it was easily the mos

Just wanted to second this. When I climbed in Ontario, the cedars were pretty common knowledge and avoiding them at all costs was one of the tenets of being a good climber. Like any group, undoubtedly there's people who don't care

That's an interesting question indeed, specifically: would easy access to legal weed reduce property crime in the area (for most of the crime seems to be smash-n-grab property crime). My suspicion: no, no change. For all intents and pu

As someone who walks through or along-size the DTES nearly every day, this is a fantastic response and summary of the situation, Jim, capturing the complexity of the situation nicely. The DTES is not as simple a problem as many people would

Wow, does that article ever bury the lead by not describing what Hampton Creek's product is until the very last paragraph. For those who didn't make it all the way down, Hampton Creek makes a vegetarian mayo alternative called &#x

I would love to see a meta-analysis of the 'when to post on HN' articles to see if a) there's consistency, and b) if the stories themselves have skewed subsequent conclusions (i.e.: will everyone now post at 7:45 on Sunday mo

Where I work, we ask candidates to do a take-home task after they've passed the first in-person interview. The take-home task is trivial, something most developers with a few years experience should be able to knock out in less than an

Too many people seem to misunderstand that 'freedom of speech' does not mean 'freedom from repercussions'. Pretty glad to read jobs had been lost as a result of this.

Surely you jest.

I'm going to disagree with this only because it comes down to the intent of the interviewer. If they're looking for a boolean right/wrong answer then you're absolutely correct. Feel bad for the interviewer who asks such

I'm not so sure it's a bad interview question. Or rather, perhaps it's only bad if you, as the interviewer, have a specific answer in mind. We used it once with the caveat that "there's no right answer, we don'

It seems the United States has managed to evolve the term "police state" into something new: in the traditional form the police are the enforcement arm of a political power. In the current United States, the police are seemingly b

Yes, I think so. The current language around drone strikes is one of precision, sanitation, and infallibility. It's a one-way message that's easy to swallow. Faced with widely-reported counter information, such as actual photograp

As someone with chronic pain, nope, I don't think one builds up a tolerance to it. Instead, I think I'm lucky in that the severity waxes and wanes. Below some threshold it recedes from being pervasive, going into the background an

This argument fails repeated testing. It turns out that human-human conversation involves both parties paying attention to the environment and co-operating to insert pauses and situational awareness. In essence, h-h communication in a car r

No, because to be a currency of any kind someone has to be accepting it as tender for something else. There needs to be a trade of it somewhere. Now Canadian Tire money is a different, yet somewhat analogous, story. It's not virtual, b
