I anticipated nostalgia and I'd like to know if this can be done with Sonic Battle?

For under $1000 one can get a year or two late Gigabyte on Newegg or wherevere with ram for dedicated graphics.

I'm not affiliated with them, I just own an U2442, and am extremely satisfied.

Do you happen to have a boilerplate of your stack on github?

Hurricane season and electrical outages will still exist in 15 years and paper has proved to be the only storage medium that doesn't change every 20 years.

You can search around CfA's blogs, their Brigade people, the Sunlight Foundation's blogs, Knight Foundation's blogs, Techpresident's blog, mySociety's blogs, Open Knowledge Foundation's blogs but to me the best example of a great library turned into a makerspace is https://www.fflib.org/make/fab-lab.

According to the previous discussion, he used, ignoring analytics and APIs: js (coffeescript), leaflet, d3 (mercator projection), jQuery, SASS, mapbox, jquery-pjax, python (django), individual animated state transitions with css, and webkit transitions.

This is on another level. What extra resources on the side would one recommend following IDV for the Web [1], to close the gap?

New comment by jjsz in "Tinder's Forgotten Woman: Whitney Wolfe, Sexism, and Startup Creation Myths"

Just researched for a bit and saw them. The author shouldn't have focused on her departure for simply being female and should have mentioned the texts. I conclude that he's an extremely sexist asshole, but not misogynistic. An overall hate would be mean not to be able to appreciate the art he's into. Nevertheless, due to the texts and the CEO ignoring the behavior, her outcry to the media was justified and needed. Hopefully she gets a hefty sum for her troubles.

Does one really lose the freedom to express themselves once they are VC backed founders? Tinder is a hook up app, and yes, perhaps Tinderslut is too revealing and direct about what any female or male users do with it, but, if he were to use promiscuous tinderian and have a gender neutral tone: would there be that much controversy? If I love naked women and art do I have to throw naked men and art in the mix to not be called a misogynist? The author exaggerated his article with those pictures. Tinder, being male dominated, will naturally have a slight chauvinistic culture. She wasn't pushed aside for being a female, the author hasn't provided evidence to support such a claim. As one of my favorite YouTuber said in his video [1], "if a women has a skill and passion for something she is already pursuing it." Thus, to not be brushed aside she had to battle for relevancy like anyone else does with skillful work instead of lightly accepting her irrelevancy and looking for the media to gain an undisclosed agreement.

Edit: As usual, anything not supporting the usual response gains downvotes.

Yeah. It can be used to call waiters without investing into a raspberry pie / arduino and a bunch of rotary devices for each waiter when they all have phones.

eOS has too much eye candy. Someone suggested in the comment section to install alucryd's PKGBUILDs to gain access to updated packages on Arch. If you're already thinking of Arch because of that comment, this should be enough eye candy: lightdm, cinnamon + CoverflowAltTab, plank + plank-themer, nautilus or spaceFM, themes like Numix + cinnamon-chronumix [1], awesomeWM, and reEFInd and a minimal theme [2]. Not sure why people opt in for a visual representation of applications when they need to browse to install applications...there's the list of applications in the wiki and /r/unixporn if you need visuals..

I cannot comprehend how, psychologically, sitting down and recreating a principle-like conference is bullying. Is it because there are multiple powerful people shaming you? A form of gas-lighting?

Would be awesome for someone with the knowledge to transfer this for something like w3m and eventually port some of it to ranger (http://blog.z3bra.org/2014/01/images-in-terminal.html#).
