Thank you. Getting the display to work was very motivating for next steps :)

First time hearing about this. Looks awesome. Thanks for the tip!

It's mostly http://getskeleton.com/ with minor tweaks (unminified on `custom.css`).

Hi. I use Jekyll and a Makefile that pushes the generated html to S3. I also needed to set up a cloudfront distribution instead of using a bare web-enable S3 bucket so I could use …

Hi, author here. I can honestly say that I’m definitely not an expert. I tried to systematically write down questions on a text file and solve them one after the other. Solving one…

I think it is page 314 of _a_ book.

I had a similar experience with python 3's asyncio. I have worked with gevent, which has an arguably less "elegant" interface (with monkey patching, for instance), but with which i…

Thanks for the insight. It's a relatively fragile negotiation, since we're just little guys who received an opportunity to do business with a big corp. As with the API, we implemen…

It seems like Zapier is some sort of task automation service, which works with SAP Anywhere™ (which _seems_ to be yet another product from SAP). I'll look further into it. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I'm a technical cofounder at a 6-ish months old startup. We do route planning and data collection for direct sales -- currently on a niche market. We've been recent…

Two years ago I took a trip to the Atacama desert. My luggage was lost in the flight and the hotel manager was nice enough to let me use their washing machine. I saw a few of the m…

It's always great to see these notebooks from Peter Norvig. There's also some really interesting implementations (in several languages) of probabilistic algorithms on the website […

Nicely done! I wrote a small app to connect phone computer and use it to control your mouse and keyboard. I've been having an extremely hard time getting users. It might be asking …

I also started toying around with a stack-based language [0]. It's surprisingly fun! [0] https://github.com/rbaron/stacky

There's something really nice about these minimalistic C projects. You can quickly take a look at the source and immediatelly grasp what's happening. A simple and didactic introduc…

Cool! These are the same guys behind CreateJS. Amazing work as well.

I suppose Bayes' theorem can help us estimate it: P(filesize is multiple of 8192 | crashed) = P(crashed | filesize is multiple of 8192) * P(filesize is multiple of 8192)/P(crashed)…

Huge egos and insults are things that have always bothered me in the OSS community. Just some days ago the Crockford vs. fat thread on github resurfaced and shocked a lot of people…

If you're interested in simulations in javascript, I wrote a small blog post and a toy project [0] about it. I would love some feedback! [0]: http://rbaron.net/blog/2014/01/02/Simu…

I might be wrong, but I think adding color information would not be _that_ hard. Basically you could filter each sensor cell for one of the RGB colors and just interpolate the resu…

I suppose there is an optimal ratio. While I agree some people overuse it, I still find it unbelievably awesome the fact that we carry a device in our pocket capable of registering…
