Moving your drive to a new computer with Arch Linux
If you've simply removed an old drive from an old laptop, and put it in a new one, you may get a delay on boot - 90 seconds while the system searches for old hardware. This happens on every boot unless you disable the old service. Most likely you will have trouble with the dhcpcd@your_network_device_here. For example, `systemctl status [email protected]` and then disable:[email protected]"
Hervé This’ Chocolate Chantilly
Ratio: 270g water:350g chocolate
Heat water to near boil, add chocolate (preferably as shavings), mix together, quickly pour into bowl surrounded by another bowl containing ice. Whisk furiously until correct formation of bubbles. Freeze.
May be served frozen, cold, or room temperature.
Deceptively simple. Most people will burn the chocolate, over-, or under-whisk the combination, or spill everything everywhere during the whisking process. Keep at it until it tastes excellent, or until you have spent a fortune on chocolate.
Min, as a QR code. First in a series. Be warned, it’s the minified version, so scanning it will börk your QR code reader, unless you’re piping it to an un-gzipper. Which I commend you for doing; my patience with Android development is not so high.
This is the best short writeup of negotiation that I have read. Only six easy-to-read pages. If anyone knows who the original author is, please let me know.

Getting the Chromium Speech Synthesis API to work on Arch
Chrome uses festival for TTS, so you have to install that:
pacman -S festival
Should work fine after that.

Estimating FLOW-MATIC's popularity
Using estimates from Google Trends, we can see that FLOW-MATIC is 1/27th (3.7%) of the popularity of Github's blog
which is 8/61th (13.1%) of the popularity of Webflow
which is 1/37th (2.7%) of the popularity of COBOL
0.037 * 0.13 * 0.027 = .00012987 (0.012987%) times as popular as COBOL.
This means that COBOL is 1/.00012987 = 7700 times as popular as FLOW-MATIC.
Peltier Element Identification
Last year, I created a diagram to help identify Peltier element IDs. However, I realized that I should probably cite my sources as per WP:Verifiability.
The diagram is at http://i.imgur.com/v6SsR6p.png and also below:
Fairly simple stuff, right? Sure. Of course, I can cite PCBHeaven
http://pcbheaven.com/wikipages/The_Peltier_Thermo-Element/
and be done, but I want to provide a more substantial claim: I'll prove each of the four below, by comparing to a standard size Peltier element:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/10Pcs-TEC1-12706-Thermoelectric-Cooler-Heat-Sink-Cooling-Peltier-12V-5-8A-LS4G-/130950256187?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e7d3e563b
1) Size: This one's a small (starts as TES) vs. the above is a standard size (starts as TEC) http://www.ebay.com/itm/TES1-3104-3-8V-12-5W-Peltier-Cooler-Thermoelectric-Cooler-Cooling-Module-Hi-Q-/200772834374?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ebefe5446
2) Stages: This one's a rare two-stage (starts as TE_2) vs. the example at the top is a one stage (starts as TE_1) http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-1-PCS-40mm-TEC2-25408-Double-TEC-Thermoelectric-Cooler-Peltier-15V-8A-/161034494584?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item257e676278
3) Number of couples: This one's a really uncommon 31-couple Peltier element, as compared to the standard one at the top of the page (a 127-couple) It's also the same as the one from example one (as Peltier elements with a small number of couples are, of course, smaller) http://www.ebay.com/itm/TES1-3104-3-8V-12-5W-Peltier-Cooler-Thermoelectric-Cooler-Cooling-Module-Hi-Q-/200772834374?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ebefe5446
4) Current rating: This one's a fairly uncommon Peltier element that is rated at 26 amps as compared to the generic one on top of the page, rated at six amps. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Awesome-400W-Thermoelectric-Peltier-Cooler-12-VDC-TEC-/310158610445?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4836e4d00d
I've got no connections to the sellers linked here. I also realize that these sellers will probably stop peddling their Peltier elements in a few weeks, months or years' time, so I've created screenshots of said pages.

Format: ✰✰✰
Detail: ✰✰✰✰✰
Explanations: ✰✰✰✰
Final score: ✰✰✰
Overall, this was a decent book. It assumes very little computer-related knowledge and was quite clear. Unfortunately, due to its' small size (46 pages of content) it did not provide as much information as I had hoped.
Value:
Pages 8-53 out of 56 were actual content (46 pages)
$10 for the ebook, $20 for the print copy.
However, I must ding it two stars for not making good use of the 46 pages it had
Format
No noticeable grammar/spelling errors
There were many images
Images were decent - not crisp but not bad quality
Detail
Fairly detailed
Explained most use cases of Prezi
Explanations
Great explanations of few cases
Some areas (example: symbols and shapes) were dwelt on for far too long
Some areas were somewhat skimmed over
Full disclosure: I received a free copy of this book.

Final score: ✰✰✰✰
Overall, this was a good book. It assumes basic HTML and CSS competency; if you are able to use Bootstrap you'll be fine. I did question its' ability to provide additional value as compared to what the Internet has to offer; however, this book contained features not found in typical blog posts including specific use cases, explanations of impress.js code, and quotations from the author of impress.js.
Value:
Pages 20-122 out of 124 were actual content (102 pages)
$15 for the ebook, $30 for the print copy.
However, I must ding it a star for omitting mobile design
Format
No noticeable grammar/spelling errors
Some sentences were awkward
The ebook's font wasn't exactly the best choice for screens
There were very few images
Detail
Fairly detailed
Explained most use cases of impress.js
Included quotations from the author of impress.js
However, mobile compatibility was explicitly ignored
Explanations
Great explanations of many use cases
All code was explained
Some areas were somewhat skimmed over
BONUS ✰: Code from impress.js was examined
Full disclosure: I received a free copy of this book.
