    The trouble though comes about once you have to start working with a UI library. It's a mess and a half unless you use C++. I'd like to try using Elm, or Purescript for UI work usi…

    Been super happy with my Galago UltraPro as well. Only reason I haven't tried FreeBSD on it yet is because of the Haswellian chipset within

    This has been what I've been worried about during all of this. I'm not entirely sure why Germany has to be "damned if they do and damned if they don't". It's as if people forget th…

    My limited understanding is that this help came with a lot of stipulations as to how the money was to be used and these stipulations were enormously unpopular. Personally, I can fi…

    TMUX is a transferable implementation of terminal session and "tab" organization. It's also scriptable if you aren't happy with some aspect of it's default presentation or interact…

    Using two monitors on Linux and running XMonad changed the game for me. Very organized, productive and efficient interactions with the system grew organically out of it. Even thoug…

    Bob Ross was a national treasure who dedicated his life to helping others see that it is wonderful to make or create for the sake of it. Anyone I've met who thinks he's a joke have…

    I started hacking together a plugin based on sbt-purescript. I could make a repo on github if you're interested in working together. My biggest stumbling blocks are that I don't kn…

    The only shame with Qt and C++ is the difficulty of providing bindings for other languages. It's just such an immense set of libraries to wrap by hand. You also have to duplicate t…
