Orange Pi - Orangepi Using Git Inside of Sublime Text to Improve Workflow Improving workflow and increasing productivity is very important to us developers. Every second counts since the time we spend on small tasks adds up. Small tasks like our Git commands are something that we do on a daily basis. Today we’ll be looking at a quick way to improve our Git workflow with our favorite editor, Sublime Text. Here’s a quick example of how fast Git works within Sublime Text. Requirements Let’s run through the things we’ll need to improve our Git workflow real quick. Git (of course)Sublime Text (duh)Sublime Text Git – Install using Package Control (ctrl + shift + p) Git Installation for Windows User: When installing Git, make sure you select Run Git from the Windows Command Prompt. Git Through Command Line Usually when I am working in Sublime Text and want to commit some changes, I will switch over to my terminal window and type the following: git add -Agit commit -m 'some crazy stupid message here'git push Git Within Sublime Text Commit vs Quick Commit More Advanced Usage

Novena A new open-hardware computing platform, flexible and powerful, designed for use as a desktop, laptop, or standalone board. Novena is a 1.2GHz, Freescale quad-core ARM architecture computer closely coupled with a Xilinx FPGA. It’s designed for users who care about Free Software and open source, and/or want to modify and extend their hardware: all the documentation for the PCBs is open and free to download, the entire OS is buildable from source, and it comes with a variety of features that facilitate rapid prototyping. Premiums & Pledge Levels We are offering four variations. All configurations will come with Debian (GNU/Linux) pre-installed, but of course you can build and install whatever distro you prefer! This is not a machine for the faint of heart. Stretch Goals After the campaign launched, we decided to offer four stretch goals. Case Design Features The first thing you’ll notice about the case design is that the screen opens “the wrong way”. “Just the Board” Spec Sheet Features: Mashable

Recipe-Website-Tutorial/jquery-and-ajax.rst at master · pigeonflight/Recipe-Website-Tutorial OLinuXino - Open Source Hardware Boards What is OLINUXINO?OLinuXino is Open Source Software and Open Source Hardware , low cost Linux computer which could be manufactured in Industrial-40+85C and commercial 0-70C temperature grade. OLinuXino is completely open source hardware and open source software, which means you have access to all the CAD files and sources and you can reuse them for your own personal or commercial projects. OLIMEX Ltd has agreement with Allwinner for longevity support. OLinuXino design is improving continually, the other Linux boards have one or two revisions, our boards have many revisions (some of them 12 or more) as we listen to community feedback and implement new and new improvements, but keeping backward compatibility, so once you choose your OLINUXINO you can be sure you will get them always in same specs, just better and better with time. OLinuXino is available in any quantity. The project is hosted at Github The development discussion group OLinuXino forum

AJAX with jQuery — Flask 0.11-dev documentation jQuery is a small JavaScript library commonly used to simplify working with the DOM and JavaScript in general. It is the perfect tool to make web applications more dynamic by exchanging JSON between server and client. JSON itself is a very lightweight transport format, very similar to how Python primitives (numbers, strings, dicts and lists) look like which is widely supported and very easy to parse. It became popular a few years ago and quickly replaced XML as transport format in web applications. Loading jQuery In order to use jQuery, you have to download it first and place it in the static folder of your application and then ensure it’s loaded. Another method is using Google’s AJAX Libraries API to load jQuery: <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script><script>window.jQuery || document.write('<script src="{{ url_for('static', filename='jquery.js') }}">\x3C/script>')</script> Where is My Site? Do you know where your application is? The HTML

knitic | Open hardware knitting machine If the Moon Were Only 1 Pixel Mercury Venus Earth You Are Here Moon Mars Jupiter Io Europa Ganymede Callisto Saturn Titan Uranus Neptune Pluto(we still love you) That was about 10 million km (6,213,710 mi) just now. Pretty empty out here. Here comes our first planet... As it turns out, things are pretty far apart. We’ll be coming up on a new planet soon. Most of space is just space. Halfway home. Destination: Mars! It would take about seven months to travel this distance in a spaceship. Sit back and relax. When are we gonna be there? Seriously. This is where we might at least see some asteroids to wake us up. I spy, with my little eye... something black. If you were on a road trip, driving at 75mi/hr, it would have taken you over 500 years to get here from earth. All these distances are just averages, mind you. If you plan it right, you can actually move relatively quickly between planets. Pretty close to Jupiter now. Sorry. Lots of time to think out here... Pop the champagne! We're always trying to come up with metaphors for big numbers.

Simple Solar Circuits Simple Solar Circuits: How to get started adding solar power to your small electronics projects. Use the sun to power small solar and battery powered night lights, garden lights, and decorations for halloween. The first part of a solar circuit is… a device for collecting sunlight. [Before we move onto our first examples, a word of caution: These are small simple circuits. Direct Drive: The most obvious way to use power from a solar panel is to connect your load directly to the output leads of the solar panel. Here are a couple of examples of this in practice: On the left, we’ve hooked up one of our little solar panels directly to a small motor taken from an old CD player. Interruption-resistant direct drive: The “direct drive” circuits work well for their design function, but are rather basic. Instead of adding a single supercapacitor, you might notice that we’ve actually added two. Adding a battery In this circuit the solar panel charges up a 3-cell NiMH battery (3.6 V).

Introduction Hey there, it appears your Javascript is disabled. That's fine, the site works without it. However, you might prefer reading it with syntax highlighting, which requires Javascript! About this tutorial This is the beginning of Learn You Some Erlang for Great Good! First of all, I began growing the idea of writing this after reading Miran Lipovača's Learn You a Haskell for great Good! So here I am typing this. This book thus wants itself to be a way to learn Erlang for people who have basic knowledge of programming in imperative languages (such as C/C++, Java, Python, Ruby, etc) and may or may not know functional programming (Haskell, Scala, Erlang, Clojure, OCaml...). So what's Erlang? First of all, Erlang is a functional programming language. 1.y = 2 2.x = y + 3 3.x = 2 + 3 4.x = 5 Had I added the following: 1.x = 5 + 1 2.x = x You would have been very confused. 1.x = add_two_to(3) = 5 2.∴ x = 5 Functions always returning the same result for the same parameter is called referential transparency.

Amazing Animations of Fruit and Vegetable MRIs Corn Broccoli Garlic Starfruit Andy Ellison works at the BU medical school in Boston where he frequently works with a research-only MRI scanner. The Geometric Food Art of Sakir Gökçebag And I have trouble cutting a sandwich on a perfect diagonal for my son. From watermelons to green beans and apples to pomegranates, Turkish photographer Sakir Gökçebag slices common fruits and veggies to create striking geometric arrangements. To clarify: the photos you see here haven’t been digitally manipulated but are instead the result of meticulously precise cutting worthy of a surgeon. If you want to see more I strongly urge you to check out the installations and photography projects on his website. (via designboom)
