If you appreciate the patterns from DDD and the idea of domain modeling with type systems, I highly recommend checking out "Domain Modeling Made Functional" by Scott Wlaschin.

Yeah, I agree. I probably won't own another system like this from any manufacturer as long as I can avoid it. Luckily my car came out just before all the OEMs started putting these…

I had a Viper alarm with these features installed in my car back in 2012 and immediately noticed that while their iOS app used SSL to talk to the API, it never actually validated t…

I don't think this is correct. From what I understand about DOCSIS, the video-related channels and Internet-related channels are completely separate frequency ranges on the coax li…

While I am generally pro-legalization and believe cannabis has medicinal benefits, I would caution anyone with anxiety to do their own research before trying this and be careful wi…

Curious if you've heard about the sale of CadSoft to AutoDesk, I was about to write Eagle off myself but I'm hoping they give it a little love. http://www.premierfarnell.com/conten…

Not all of your logic has to be in render() itself. You can define other methods on your component that will be bound to `this` in render(), so you can just call them like `this.re…

REST is an architectural pattern that specifies properties about the interface, not the data - how does using JSON over XML make your interface not RESTful? In his dissertation[1],…

"Our cyberspace today has its share of problems, but it is no dystopia" Really? What changed? The government at least got more proficient at using the Internet, I guess.

And a table-based layout, and the navigation is a single image with maps. Pretty incredible to see in production on Amazon in 2015.

I haven't yet, unfortunately the project has been on the backburner the last year or two since I've been so busy with other things. So far I've basically hooked up a relay board wi…

Yep! Plus the tuner card itself can use 200mA or so, and if you want to use any other USB accessories they'll be drawing power as well. I unfortunately have too much experience usi…

I use a Pi 2 to run a simple intranet at my house that acts as a portal to various network services, a B that I'm using to experiment with hydroponics automation and exposing senso…

500mA and up will charge a phone (assuming you're not also doing power-intensive things on it), but you'll probably need 1-2A to power a Pi and a SDR reliably.

I took a couple math courses (discrete math and differential equations, I think) at GCC and MCC while attending ASU for Computer Engineering, and I thought the CC professors were m…

You're probably thinking of the WRT54G, they're actually releasing an update compatible with OpenWRT: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2429130,00.asp

> why do I want to give them $80 when all I really want is 1 $10 domain? To qualify for the promo? They don't enforce a minimum purchase for BTC... I have bought several individual…

I've seen outages lasting a couple hours from components like transformers breaking, but that's a different issue from the grid itself not producing enough power to meet demand. Ca…

Good catch! I think it tried to format my double hyphens as a dash. Should've thrown it in a code tag.

I've found setting up a hot corner (I use the bottom left on OS X) works well for locking quickly. Quick flick of the wrist locks it no matter where the cursor is, and unlocking it…

That is the method I used on an 8GB flash drive, worked great.

The installer itself can do this: sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia –volume /Volumes/WHATEVER_DISK –applicationpath /Applicatio…

Do you have any kind of source on that? I've lived in Arizona all my life, and the only rolling brownouts I've experienced and heard about have been in California. Who I believe al…

This right here is the real problem I had with the space pen. I used to use them religiously until I was losing one every couple months. The ones without the clips are the worst, b…
