zkanda··on Music Theory for the 21st-Century Classroom
I can't recommend enough Absolutely Understand Guitar[0], it's free and taught me music theory than any course I've ever tried.

zkanda··on Hosting my blog from my apartment
yes, but only locally, as long as I have a way to restore, that's good enough! :)
zkanda··on Fender escalates legal campaign against S-style guitars
Fender doesn’t even make the best strat and so overpriced, but I guess it’s subjective.
zkanda··on Kagi Reaches 50k Users
I used to be a subscriber and would like to support the project, but the noticeable response latency is a problem for me (Spain). I’ve tried both my desktop PC and iPhone, and the result is the same unfortunately.
zkanda··on Rest in peace Bram Moolenaar, author of Vim
Thank you for that prompt, I can already think of a few developers I want to give thanks for changing my life.
zkanda··on Apache Tika – a content analysis toolkit
We had a problem where we need to index and make searchable a hundred of thousands of government pdf files, some are as old as 15 years ago.

Tried a bunch libraries and settled with Tika. Although we were a PHP/Node shop, nothing could be compared to the ease of using Tika for this exact purpose.

zkanda··on How I Used Twilio, Python and Google to Automate My Wedding
Hi, For people who want to do this but don't want to code anything, you can use https://www.engagespark.com/twilio-alternative/

* In this case you can do an SMS Poll asking who would like to come.

* If you want to do this a bit more personal, you could use an IVR Poll instead, so they'd hear your voice.

* You can even go further and build some logic, if they replied yes, then you ask them what food choice do they want, no need for interacting with google spreadsheet.

* You can view all this with some pretty graphs and download the spreadsheet with all the information that happened on the engagement.

* Or if you want fancier stuff, do the above, pass the results to Zapier, and manipulate them with any other apps linked into Zapier.

Disclaimer: I work on engageSPARK

FP Library in Python: https://github.com/kachayev/fn.py
zkanda··on Era of Distraction
The first half of the article is a genuine problem. There's just so much distraction going on right now, I wonder how people are being productive.
zkanda··on DragonFly BSD 4.2 released
This is so true, BSD's in general are very underrated.
zkanda··on Ghost.py – Webkit-based scriptable web browser for Python

This is exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks. :)
zkanda··on Docker in Practice – A Guide for Engineers
I'm really looking forward to this book. Question, how do you deal with users outside of Linux host regarding shared folders. I'm using boot2docker, but it's painfully slow if my code base is large(10kloc).
zkanda··on RancherOS: An OS for Docker Containers
Does it support NFS?
zkanda··on Show HN: Exa, a replacement for ls written in Rust
I just hope that it's backward compatible with ls, as of the moment, it's not a replacement.
zkanda··on Purism Aims to Build a Philosophically Pure Laptop
Wow, that price is not justifiable, the spec at System76[0] is way better and cheaper.

zkanda··on Show HN: GlobeDrop – Travel Meaningfully
Yes, thank you very much. Will definitely do.
zkanda··on Building Web Apps with Go
I feel you on this, also coming from Django background, there is no equivalent yet for golang, though I've been skimming with revel for some time, it's still incomplete from what I want. This is just perfect opportunity to learn something that is more disconnected, but syncs with harmony. :)
zkanda··on Shout – A web IRC client
Use /leave for now. :)
zkanda··on Ask HN: Hacker forum or IRC?
#django is one of the active channels I've tried. Lot's of people willing to help.

I heard Kivy is getting more popular, that is if you like writing in Python.
