PayPal froze my account a few years ago for "suspicious activity". I still don't know what that activity was. Support gave me the same sort of runaround non-answers as described in this article. I finally got to talk to…
It used to be that way, now when I try it F1 is a sign-in screen, F2 is my main GUI, F3-F6 are normal virtual terminals, and F7 is some process that I don't recognize.
You can run a headless Linux distro (although that's not exactly turnkey, I know). If you're already running linux, you can hit something like ctrl+alt+F3 to get a commandline only UI:…
Here's a boingboing post that contains some of the text of the article: https://boingboing.net/2017/12/10/shanzhai-futurism.html
Classes definitely give you a lot of rope to hang yourself with (metaclasses, inheritance, MULTIPLE inheritance), but they have their place. I'll usually start with a function, but when it gets too big, you need to…
> "Don't let people pay for things because poor people might not be able to afford it" is offensive to "poor" people. It's important to distinguish what kind of "things" you're talking about, though. There's a pretty…
Why do you want to work at one of the big 4 tech companies? Software engineering is a very big field, you don't need to be really good at solving coding puzzles on a whiteboard to be a good developer. Hell, there are…

If you don't already use it, you should check out GNU Stow as a tool to manage those symlinks. You just make a directory (or directories) which mirrors your home folder, but with only the files you want to store in…
I'd write that function like this: def absolute_path(path): if not path.startswith('/'): return '/' + path return path This way you don't have to keep track of mutating the path variable. I do find that more readable -…
> Neovim however might help to solve this problems, but when that will see the light of day, it seems to be hard to find out. Neovim is working quite well already. I fully switched from vim to nvim months ago without…
ipython has a killer autoreload function: http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/stable/config/extensions/auto... In [1]: %load_ext autoreload In [2]: %autoreload 2 In [3]: from foo import some_function In [4]: some_function()…
I've been using spacemacs off and on for a few months, (although never as my primary editor). I really like their out-of-the-box config, and it's much easier and better than my previous copypasted amalgamation of an…
Are you using React.js directly through JS interop, or something like Om or Reagent to wrap it? What is your opinion of the various options available for React.js in ClojureScript?
Interesting topic and book although I highly recommended skipping this article in favor of the [NYT article cited](http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/01/07/science/cat-sense-expla...). This title and article are misleading,…
I know this isn't what you're asking, but I imagine in this case it's because that's one of the challenges of regex golf. Matching regex, as short as possible.
Spot on critique. Two additions: What about pure carnivores? Surely their food doesn't want to be food, but carnivores do just fine. While I agree that the amount of corn we eat is absurd, to call it inedible is…
Is it just me or do the pictures of her look like her face has been heavily airbrushed? That's a bit ironic considering...
Not at all.
I'm having a lot of fun with this. I'll submit something soon. You swallow all exceptions and make the robot guard instead. This is nice, but it makes it hard to develop, because you can't see what went wrong. Here's a…
Oh, I didn't realize that. Thanks!
Is there any way to access the map in the Robot class? For the default map, I can just hardcode it, but if you do intend for a robot to be playable on multiple maps, they'll need some way of knowing which squares are…
Looks fun, can't wait to get started. In your instructions, you said to run the program, call: python kit/run.py yourcode.py yourothercode.py --render If you try to run run.py from outside of its directory, it can't…
Also feels snappy to me on Firefox/Xubuntu
