Same happened to me, nearly 8 minutes ago as well!!
It's as if it were inspired by all of the bad parts of a Dan Friedman text. :)
Seriously?
While I don't think the name is great, who cares.
The thing with Bloomington is that it's very bike friendly compared to most cities of similar size and there is a substantial cyclist population considering half of the town consists of students that have nowhere to park their cars.
Your average noncollege town isn't like Bloomington.
Looks like Friedman taught you well. :)
Sorry, bro.
Life is so hard right now.
WASD is an established entity in the mechanical keyboard scene, so I'm sure they did most of the heavy lifting in regards to hardware.
I'm sure it will be a good keyboard (especially for enthusiasts looking to try out some Cherry MX clears).
I'm more excited to see that the project is based off one for the STM32F4. I've got one of those lying around and I'm looking forward to trying this out. :)
I'm pretty sure biology falls within the S in STEM. "Guns, Germs, and Steel" is a pop-science book, surely you could have used a more literary example to represent "the arts."
Heh the whole "Here's a tasty sandwich" bit reminds me of The Little Schemer and not in a good way.
Is he actually nice or are you being sarcastic?
Glad that I've never used a Yahoo email address to register for anything.
It does get to be an issue if your battery no longer holds a charge.
This would be a whole lot cooler if the Python code was actually executed on the MCU itself. As it stands it needs to be tethered to a PC.
Check out sites like https://www.sparkfun.com/, http://www.newark.com/, or https://www.adafruit.com/ if you're looking to purchase modest amounts of sensors, displays, servos, etc. for hobby projects.
Although it's not exactly math heavy, I think Steven Skiena's Algorithm Design Manual manages to bridge the gap between the "Programming Collective Intelligence" and something like Knuth's books.
Now if only their developer phones were easier to get a hold of.
I was totally ready to impulse buy a Keon last week, but I missed the initial rush on them.
Wow this is some pretty cutting edge stuff.
Wow, I was just thinking about swole.me the other day while I was mirin my gainz at the gym. Cool to see it become something more!
Not to mention the patronizing "Now go make yourself a baba ghanoush pita!" and "This space reserved for jelly stains."
Maybe the humor was just lost on me...
Thanks for this. I was sick the day they taught this notation in my PL class and I need to learn it before my final exam next week!!! :)
They totally had me with this.
"So on the eve of April 1st we sat down in a brainstorm session with a team of PLT experts."
Jeez that first paragraph is cheesy.
How long will the special launch pricing be available?
Yeah, definitely change the grey on grey text.
I'm really diggin the cyan and purple/overall aesthetic though.
It's also about 100x more cryptic.
Very nice. I'm definitely weak on the typography front and this looks like something that I may actually use!
"Startup Slut" is a horrible term...
Be careful though, I've heard that some (especially cheaper) lights don't filter enough UV light and that they can damage your eyes.
