"Awesome, thanks! +bitcointip +1 internets verify" - Eric Martindale

"Hey Fred, wondering if you could weigh in on the impact this will have on my [Coinbase Trader application](https://github.com/martind...), which automatically retries orders using the Coinbase API until they are filled." - Eric Martindale

"I wasn't aware of this, thanks! +bitcointip +1 internets" - Eric Martindale

"Do you accept commission work? This is awesome. +tip $1 verify" - Eric Martindale

"I wrote a [Bitcoin-trading node.js application](https://github.com/martind...) to keep attempting the order until it is filled. I hope this helps!" - Eric Martindale

"Is this pre or post USD inflation?" - Eric Martindale

"I've made [some modifications](https://github.com/martind...) which should resolve this. If the problem remains, could you report it [as an issue](https://github.com/martind...)? Thanks for using my work!" - Eric Martindale

"I've added the ability to set a currency, allowing you to purchase as many BTC as a fixed amount allows; `buy 10 USD` will buy ~0.207 BTC. These types of orders will automatically adjust every sixty seconds based on whatever the current exchange rate is." - Eric Martindale

"It's not circumventing any user-specific limitations, only retrying the purchase of the BitCoins until there are some made available. Coinbase's 24-hour platform-wide rolling limit effectively causes the same behavior via their UI (retry until success), I'm just automating this." - Eric Martindale

"You'd think they would make a special consideration for something like this. Ah well, attention to detail is often lost in an organization of that size." - Eric Martindale

"Please note that this is not an endorsement, but instead just a link for awareness." - Eric Martindale

"None that I've run into; this application will retry until the order is filled, regardless." - Eric Martindale

"Source? I've understood the ships that pod pilots fly to be upfitted versions of the crewed versions." - Eric Martindale

"It's a play on "Aristotle", the great teacher. I don't have any good examples on hand, but I do like simplicity and eponymity. I hope the reference helps." - Eric Martindale

"When are you going to come spin some fresh tunes in [Coding Soundtrack](http://www.codingsoundtrack.org)?" - Eric Martindale

"We run [Coding Soundtrack](http://codingsoundtrack.org), which might suit your fancy." - Eric Martindale

"I see you use scrot; it pleases me to know I am in good company. Is that xmonad?" - Eric Martindale

"Punctuality is, sadly, a long lost trait." - Eric Martindale

"Why would you ever shoot rainbows? Those things are beautiful, man." - Eric Martindale

"I bought a 360 solely to get familiar with console FPS (so I'd be good at DUST) back before CCP announced that it was a PS3 exclusive, then I almost immediately bought a PS3 solely for DUST in anticipation. Now I'm in the beta, and I'm hoping they polish it up quite a bit more before public launch." - Eric Martindale

"I find this edge case incredibly amusing." - Eric Martindale

"Where is the original? Can't find it on the Tumblr linked above." - Eric Martindale

"Correction; *legal* constraints. The "technological" constraint here is an arbitrary one implemented simply to prevent people from accessing the content. Likely, countries where governments / corporations have not paid a licensing fee for the content or otherwise negotiated an agreement." - Eric Martindale

"How the fuck did you get a billion ISK worth of items in the game without a painful experience in lowsec somewhere along the way?" - Eric Martindale

"I heard this was built-in now." - Eric Martindale

"I wish it caused direct hull damage. That'd make so much more sense. "Get the fuck out of the way, I'm coming in!"" - Eric Martindale

"It does sound impossible, which is one of the reasons I'm trying to tackle it. Splitting things up would be great, but not within the scope of what we're going to be able to offer. I might be able to do something with an bihourly break, and make sure to go back over the concepts we learned in the previous segment to reinforce them. We are going to be targeting a specific stack (node.js, mongodb, javascript), not necessarily one specific tool. It'd be nice if we could, but I don't feel that the stack can really be split apart and is likely best learned as a unit. I might be wrong of course, but that's part of the experiment. We're making preparations to have 30 students, with myself and another person assisting to teach the workshop." - Eric Martindale

"The course is 8 hours, split into two four-hour sessions. I'm hoping to give an introduction in the first hour, but then dive straight into programming, giving assistance along the way. Certainly the most complicated application we'll be building is a simple CRUD app, with perhaps an authentication system. We won't be getting into the nuances of the stack or the architecture, just pure building. I agree that the experience should be positive and should get people excited about programming, but I'm not certain how to provide this in a cross-platform way that won't cause the class to get slowed down by differing environments (Windows, Mac, etc.). This is why I ended up on the cloud solution, but I'd love to hear other options." - Eric Martindale
