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…

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…

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 error…

Good catch - that should have been Myro. https://www.myropcb.com/

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 compone…

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, unt…

A small, but vocal minority.

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 Nov…

https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_5_bla... What's the point of having google.com/nexus/5, when people are going to be purchasing it from the play store (splitt…

"Lower-income and less educated whites also have shifted substantially toward the Republican Party since 2008. The GOP has largely erased the wide lead Democrats had among white vo…

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…

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 …

Minnesota, USA.

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 wou…

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 ce…

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 bac…

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 …

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 …

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 …

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'…

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.

If you haven't seen NPR's visualizing the grid, check it out - http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1109973...
