Your idea about a parking lot for "liveaboards" sounds kind of cool. Or how about an airbnb-like service where people offer up part of their yard for people to park their van or pitch a tent. Especially in more rural areas where people have a lot of land that is just sitting there and other people could take advantage of it.

And I'm also curious, in what ways do you regret taking the CS path at your age? Did you just get your CS degree? Are you experiencing a lot of ageism?

Thank you, I like it.

Are you going to have an archives/history section so we can look back at the popular stories for a particular day?

I'd be interested in this too.

Used to have a lot of trouble with my RPi getting corrupted (fixed with a new power supply). And rather than spend any time trying to make everything read-only in software I figured I'd just use the "lock" switch on the sd card. That was when I discovered that the lock didn't actually do anything.

If you haven't seen it already, you might enjoy reading "It's Behind You" by Bob Pape. It's about how the game R-Type was ported to the ZX Spectrum back in the day.

Wired had an article about it a couple weeks ago: http://www.wired.com/2014/04/tails/

I used to always make a custom toolbar with the items I frequently used. Then later, when I had to, I would go into the menu to find the other items I needed. It was nice having familiar icons for my most-used functions and then having text-based labels neatly organized in the menu for the other functions.

The way the ribbon had it all (or lots of items I didn't regularly use) always visible irritated me and made it hard to quickly find the things I wanted without wading through the things I didn't. I've gotten used to it somewhat and I no longer keep Office 2003 installed, but I still end up searching for ways to do things now and again.

First you have to install the plugin. In the menu at the top, go to View then click on Commands. The commands will appear on the right side (and note that you can just start typing the name of a command to filter it out). Click on this one "Plugins: Show plugin manager". Then on the Plugins, make sure you go to the Available section. Scroll down and find Vim and click on it.

Now you have to enable it. Go back to Commands and find "Settings: User behaviors" . Then go to the :editor section between the square brackets. Type "vim" and it will show a popup with several items it can complete. Pick this one: "Vim: Activate Vim mode". It should then insert this: :lt.plugins.vim/activate-vim Save the file and it should now work!

It's a book called Save the Cat! by Blake Snyder.

The picture on hackaday was of the inside of the box. Ruben's site shows more pictures of how the box looked closed.

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or specific expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion.

Though in all seriousness, I've seen closed questions provide a lot of good information on something in their answers despite people feeling the question wasn't a good fit. In some ways it's like closing a question is a form of what the article is talking about, though I do understand the need for those rules on there.

There's also Boxcryptor which looks similar though I haven't tried it yet. I've been wanting to use one of these encryption services but I'm also wondering what people think of them.

I'm getting sick of them as well. Most of them follow the same formula by having a declarative statement pointing out that someone is either wrong or doesn't understand something or this that or the other will never work. They seem to be pretty popular on here though as many of them have lots of comments.

Sorry, you're wrong. Next you're going to try to tell me that gay means homosexual when we all know it means happy.
