Most of the time I joke about having no dependencies on a project, but a lot of the time it makes sense. There are a few things that I've been seeing repeated over the past year or so that I think are good ideas, so I'm going to attempt to write them down. "You overloaded plus? What does plus do?"

I've always wanted a place where I can collaborate and share code, learn how to RE, and get shocked a few times by an ad hoc bench power supply. I feel like I almost have it, but organizing these people is a lot like herding cats through a 20 foot wide door. Everyone pretends to care and then excuses about being busy get played like a broken record. You see, sometimes politics get involved, which is fine; I like politics, but then people disagree on a level that shouldn't even exist. There should be healthy discussion and debate. Then people get lazy. "Want to h...

I only have a work computer. Together, we can find a cure to this disease. I want you to attempt the 10,000 commit challenge. What is the 10,000 commit challenge you ask? Github provides some nice stats on your profile page under the "Contributions" tab. See my profile . Under that tab is "Year of contributions"; this is your goal. That sweet sweet 10k.
