    Like there are no bigots in NH. When I lived in Central NH I had a long hair and almost got run out of town for being a "fucking long haired hippie"

    What political factors are you referring to? I think Linux took off because it was easily accessible and widely available, and Linus made a lot of pragmatic choices. I remember in …

    But there is a radiator at the front of most air-cooled Porsches; although it cools oil instead of water. See: http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/911_carrera_oil_coo...

    I do think there is a subculture of "hip" motorheads. Look at Zeitgeist (bar in SF) for instance. I think Magnus is someone who qualifies as being able to push fashion trends.

    I'm wondering if early Boxsters and 996s might be good values now because there are fixes for the IMS bearing issue on the market. I've read it can be done with a clutch job.

    For me it was a Subaru STI. I enjoyed it more in almost every way than the Porsche, other than how it looked. My father has a nice 90s Miyata. I've driven it quite a bit and for th…

    Magnus's collection is beautiful and I love his aesthetic, but I can't help but think it is the ultra wealthy buyers who own a dozen 911s who are driving up the prices into the str…

    I have a vintage 911. It is fun as hell when the thing is running right, but it is never running right. Even the years they call "bullet proof" don't hold a candle to the reliabili…

    I like the idea. Are the shoes welted?

    This looks interesting, but I don't totally understand how it works. How is the key changed every time on the server? It looks like it requires server side support.

    What kind of blades does the company make? Are they multi-blade? Harry's is a great idea, but I've been happy with double edge razors for a while now: http://baus.net/shave-kit

    This is a new idea. Wondering where I should take it next. I would appreciate feedback.

    That's interesting. I had been working something similar years ago. I eventually open sourced it, but discontinued work on it. Http://github.com/baus/swithflow I'm surprised more s…

    This is a good idea. I could see this changing C development for the better.

    Cordovan is not a fussy material. It is meant to be worn hard, everyday.

    I'm a big fan of horween and alden. If you care about quality and craftsmanship, then I think the products are worth the price (even if it has gone up a lot in the past few years).…

    This is a really good way to put this distinction. Most applications use threads because they are waiting on I/O, not because they are concurrently processing.

    I'm using asoftmurmur now. I think it is the best noise generator out there. Who cares what the code looks like?

    Here's where the freelist operations are defined: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/21e0c1d23afff48601eb... But where are they called from? Update: To answer my own question …
