Check out salt. Simple and amazing.

Is it worth mastering? No. Worth understanding? Yes. Regex is used in so many applications and commands, it would be silly not to learn it. You don't need to be a wizard, but do un…

Is there a way to get the reading list for this course?

I thought this was an excellent writeup and I would like to learn more more. Are there any recommended books on learning about the Internet/DNS on a global scale?

Neat 'recipe for success' but what's there to discuss?

I've messed around with golf for about a year or two before getting serious this summer. Lessons made the biggest improvement. After I had a rough idea from the lessons, reading re…

Anyone play golf? I love it. I also enjoy riding my motorcycle, reading literature, weightlifting, photography, and playing Battlefield 2. I am learning to play piano and chess.

I enjoy seeing these python related posts being submitted. As @whalesalad said, it seems a lot of the innovation is in ruby/node land. Although the first thing I noticed when I cli…

Could you explain your thoughts on sharing images/use of PACS? I do IT work for an imaging center and would be interested in your experience with such software.

Expected an article about Nikon hardware, but still enjoyed it. The author has a lot of neat looking posts, I recommend giving them a look.

Is that network yours? No? Then it's illegal. It's an interesting way to have someone do the dirty work. I would love to see a postmortem writeup.

Had the pleasure of meeting Linus last weekend while up in Portland, at a Go Kart facility no less. Super nice guy, but I was a little too star struck to form coherent words. His r…

I don't mean to hijack OPs response, but it reminded me of Robert M. Pirsig's book, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values. From Wikipedia: "In the book,…

I think the problem is bias. Math can be taught without bias, as numbers can only be seen as numbers. There are only a few ways you can teach maths. When you teach history, it brin…

I totally agree. Those articles saved me a lot of time and were very helpful.

I like the concept, but one feature that would make this rock is audio recording. When I'm in class, writing away on notes, I have a hard time listen and writing at the same time. …

I like your idea of moving around every so often, keeps things fresh. I'm going to try this out more.

I would love to see some pictures of what you're describing.

I agree, and perhaps I should have added that into my comment. For a newbie, have them walk through it, but for the repeated process, then automate it.

I don't understand the point of using a one-liner vs just doing it in a process and getting an understanding of whats going on at each step.

Also, use PIP and VirtualEnv! Makes deps and packages so easy. Especially with virtualenvwrapper.

I don't understand what you're getting at.

It's something people working on projects at BigCo's do in lieu of actual work. It's pantomiming execution instead of executing. This is, generally, how I feel about ToDo lists.

I can sympathize. Right there with you buddy.

Cheesy, but I use types of birds, based on what the machine reminds me of. iPhone — Chickadee Macbook — Pigeon MacbookPro — Peregrine Time Capsule — Grouse Windows box — Dodo
