Moving your filesystem to USB is a great way to improve reliability, speed and storage space on your Raspberry Pi. If you’re running something that is writing a lot of data constantly then having your filesystem on USB is safer because it’s less likely to get corrupted or stop working with a high amount of write cycles.
This tutorial is using a USB stick which doesn’t require any additional external power, if you want to use a larger USB hdd you will have to also get a powered USB hub because you’re Raspberry Pi doesn’t have enough juice to power it.
I’m using Raspbian for my operating system and I’ll assume you know how to install and configure that yourself.

Which built-ins should you know about?
I estimate most Python developers will only ever need about 30 built-in functions, but which 30 depends on what you’re actually doing with Python.
We’re going to take a look at all 69 of Python’s built-in functions, in a birds eye view sort of way.

The Linux fd command is an quick and efficient way to find files in the terminal. Like the find command, it comes in handy often, however, the find command can be a bit tricky for those new to Linux and especially it's command line. This guide will help you get up to speed with this very useful command line tool.
The xargs utility allows you to build and execute commands from standard input. Xargs is usually used in combination with other commands through piping. In this tutorial, we'll cover the basics of using the xargs command.
In order to successfully work with the Linux sed editor and the awk command in your shell scripts, you have to understand regular expressions or in short regex. Since there are many engines for regex, we will use the shell regex and see the bash power in working with regex.
First, we need to understand what regex is, then we will see how to use it.
Table of contents include:
What is regex, Types of regex, Define BRE Patterns, Special Characters, Anchor Characters, The dot Character, Character Classes, Negating Character Classes, Using Ranges, Special Character Classes, The Asterisk, Extended Regular Expressions, The question mark, The Plus Sign, Curly Braces, Pipe Symbol, Grouping Expressions, Practical examples, Counting Directory Files, Validating E-mail Address.
The author tried to edit data in spreadsheet programs.
This post illustrate ho to use Vim to edit tabular data, although there are a few things that will make it more pleasant. It is assumed that editing files are in tab-separated value format (TSV).
"But what about CSV files?" Just. Don't.
Do: convert your CSV to TSV and back for editing.

This is a tutorial on building your own shell using Rust, in the spirit of the build-your-own-x list. Creating a shell is a great way to understand how the shell, terminal emulator, and OS work together.
Move beyond the basics of poi with this course designed to transition you from the beginner poi world to intermediate level spinning! You'll learn the basics of behind the back poi spinning as well as important transition tools such as pendulums and CAPs. Got your weaves down and are curious where to go next? This is the course for you!
Inspired by Ollie Charles and his excellent 24 days of Hackage series, I'm going to try and introduce you to a number of Rust language features, useful libraries and cool projects built with Rust.
In fact this is a learning opportunity for me too - as much as I love Rust, I'm just diving in. If you think I'm wrong or know an interesting library you want me to write about, feel free to comment!

Very good tutorial.
In their hearts, computers are sequential beasts. Their power comes from being able to break down the largest tasks into tiny steps that can be performed one after another. Often, though, our users need to see things occur in a single instantaneous step or see multiple tasks performed simultaneously.
A typical example, and one that every game engine must address, is rendering. When the game draws the world the users see, it does so one piece at a time — the mountains in the distance, the rolling hills, the trees, each in its turn. If the user watched the view draw incrementally like that, the illusion of a coherent world would be shattered. The scene must update smoothly and quickly, displaying a series of complete frames, each appearing instantly.
Double buffering solves this problem, but to understand how, we first need to review how a computer displays graphics.

TimeShift is a system restore tool for Linux. It provides functionality that is quite similar to the System Restore feature in Windows or the Time Machine tool in MacOS. TimeShift protects your system by making incremental snapshots of the file system manually or at regular automated intervals.
Although Python is an easy to learn and powerful programming language as it is known in common parlance, there is nevertheless need of a good introduction and tutorial on the Python language.
Why yet another documentation and tutorial on Python? Aren't there enough websites with tutorials and books dealing with Python? Isn't there already everything said about this great programming language?
These were the questions which came to our mind, when we started this website in June 2010. Yes, there are lots of tutorials and introductions, but we wanted to present a different approach, with other - more interesting - examples, better explanatory diagrams and so on. We had a lot to build on, above all the longstanding experience of Bernd Klein as a computer scientist and Python lecturer. Actually, this online course is based on the material from the classroom training courses of Bodenseo and his book on Python.
