so sorta like OpenSCAD (the language, not the program), but specialized for 2d/planar work?

yes :)

I chose json mostly for convenience, but also to give me some easy future possibilities.

Making thinking was something like:

pros:

1. json has lots of tooling and is generally easy to work with 2. if I put up a ui/webapp around hfd, then json will work well for that. 3. if I want a custom DSL, I can always have the grammar convert to json as the underlying representation.

CONS: 1. the json ends up being deeply nested and hard to work with 2. lack of multiline strings and comments (I went ahead added comment support though :))

yeah, truestory :). TODO

Do you mean grbl? If so, HFD and grbl are totally different. HFD is meant a way to design things (usually for laser cutters, but ultimately it outputs SVG, so could be useful for other usecases).

HFD is meant to make it easier to create designs which are parameterized (i.e. one design where you could easily change the width, height, thickness, ect). And make it simpler to split and layout designs across multiple pieces of material.

I saw that, 10.2 would be a workable size I think. Then a bunch of smaller ones surrounding, for a sort of tiled wm.

Doesnt look like this supports displays larger then a couple inches. I would love to get a largish e-ink display so I could code outside (slow refresh rate is fine, just needs to support a terminal).

Anyhow, is a step in the right direction to have small hackable eink displays.

This isn't an instance of "security through obscurity". This is more akin to suggesting people use non dictionary passwords.

I think you missed the "automatic" part. Completely rewriting a program in a new language is certainly not automatic.

In order to help your addicted father you should consider first focusing on yourself. The stress and guilt of having an addicted loved one can affect your own mental health. Speak to an addiction specialist, they can help you formulate appropriate actions in dealing with your father, perhaps an intervention, perhaps something else. Al-Anon (http://al-anon.alateen.org/) is a good resource.

wow, didn't know Scientific American still existed

very interesting story--but more interesting is that this story is on the front page with only 3 points.

uhh, what is LMGTFY? (I actually just googled that, lol)

uhh, what is a bus factor?

> 5. Is your bus factor greater than n/2, where n is the number of engineers?

"Provides replacements for ArrayList, HashSet, and HashMap optimized for performance and memory usage."

Sounds interesting, would like to know a bit more. Looks like I have to find out for myself if I want answers

Yes it is e-ink, higher res and whiter background then previous versions.

I am excited whenever I hear of better eink displays. I am waiting for the day I can get an eink laptop so I can work outside.

I stand corrected :). I was just reading up on STUN, it is a very interesting solution.

Exactly. Almost everyone is behind a router so there is no way this is going to be as useful as stated in the article.

Notice that he said "AJAX was coined" in 2004 not that the technology was invented.

Network transparency is been touted as X's killer feature for decades at this point. I've been using linux as my primary os for a very long time, and have NEVER used it. I find it amusing that the default way to do desktop share in ubuntu (and most of the other distros) is vnc not X.

This is the first I've heard of HyperDex. Anyone have any experience with it?
