They are USB on the machines we use. That said, that’s not a concern to me. The machine also prints a paper tally that goes with it to verify. We used sealed bags so they can’t be messed with in transit. They tabulate the results and compar

This is great, congrats on shipping it! I like the interface but for the life of me I think I should be able to go back a period (“last week”). I think a week starts on Monday?

Plenty. Most recent was a volleyball rotation generator so I could hand out customized rotation sheets to every player. When I make a change, I can generate all new sheets by updating names & positions.

We've used a RPi 3B+ for a couple years as a home desktop and it's been great for general browsing, email, youtube. Velcro it to the back of a HD TV and it can sit anywhere.

From Olathe. Grew up here. Ate at that restaurant last week, even. I don't find our level of racism any different than when I travel elsewhere in the US. There are bigoted people everywhere, but most people around here just want to rai

My method of killing DST would be to accept it year round. I would much rather have the extra time at the end of the day, after work. I'm not sure if we can just unilaterally say "All our timezones are +1 now, forever" though.

Both of those "why become a sponsor" articles are a great read; right in line with this article. The sponsor list down the side of the page is totally awesome, too. Congrats on some serious sponsor firepower.

Serious question: what would it take for a US citizen to move to Brazil and work there? I don't have any idea about the visa intricacies.

We have a lot of biotech & life science investment here, too. Our Ruby talent pool lost some talent with the Google acquisition and subsequent moving of a local company, but we're back up to 40 at our Ruby group meetings twice a month.

Swaddling is fantastic. I just used an oversized sheet after I got the hang of it. Get a toy doll and practice. Took me a couple hours to get the hang of it.

I read "I'm starting my own MBA reading club and you're not invited" [ http://www.kadavy.net/blog/posts/i-started-a-diy-mba-group-y... ] and that's where I got the idea from. Do it locally, face-to-face discussion over a lunch every X week

I've been waiting for these to come out since the TED video ( http://www.ted.com/talks/david_merrill_demos_siftables_the_s... ). I put in my pre-order and can't wait for them. I've been trying to think about what I would do with a Siftables

Seems like the tables don't need to be so deep, which would help use less space. Maybe not, though, I do something similar when I'm pairing, but we just sit on opposite sides of a conference room table. The offset is key so you're not con

I love the golden dollars and I'd be ok with getting rid of paper dollars entirely because coins last a LOT longer. I'm not sure what certain uh, industries, that deal in single bills a lot would do, though.

You know, for a fresh design for my personal blog, or another take on something, $15 is great. Would I use it for client work? Uh, no. What's the worst that could happen? He gets too busy? He flames out after a couple weeks? Either way

With the new multiple sign in, I use my gmail account as primary, then sign into my other two gApps accounts (personal, work). That way, all my analytics, web history, and such remain under my [primary] gmail account and I can still open m
