I recently set up a raspi to monitor my wine cellar temperatures. If you're looking for a 3rd party solution, check out librato [1]. We use them at work and they're really great. I hooked temperature readings up to librato and set up threshold alerts within a few min without ever having used their python api before.

As always, I recommend Hammerspoon [1] when these sorts of things come up. If you can program Lua (or you know JS or Python, which is close enough), you can create any kind of window management system you want, saved layouts, contextual layouts across multiple monitors, adjust wifi/sound based on location, tab multiple windows, and a lot more.
There are a lot of hammerspoon configurations around that will give you some cool ideas. Mine is below [2].

Interesting, I have been using mjolnir for some time for basic bindings (window resizing, jump to named windows). What does hammerspoon offer over it?

Just adding my two cents. Wanna be a good JS dev? Go play around with a lisp. Like Clojure for a month or two. Get comfortable with functional programming. Then come back to JS. So many people come from a OOP to JS and they have a bad time with it. JS is more like a lisp with C syntax than it is a traditional OO language. Learning Clojure, not only improved my JS abilities, but just my over all programming maturity. IMO. Additionally, I agree with the author about reading books, and libraries. It's always good advice for any language.
Agree so much with this comment.
Downside is that after using a proper functional language (clojure[script]) you end up wanting some really basic things such as immutable core data structures.
I feel like if you start from scratch on a javascript project, it's possible to program in a functional manner. I've found it really tough to introduce functional concepts to an already full stack javascript codebase.
BTW: I'd recommend ramda [1] for those interested in functional javascript programming. The auto-currying makes it way more powerful than underscore/lodash in terms of encouraging pure reusable functions.
I don't think this is bad in any right. It looks (and I grew up in the bay area through turn of the century) just like the dot com bubble. The promising part of this is that the underlying technologies being developed, a way to distribute information and business logic in a way where there is an indisputable fully traceable truth, is huge. I think of blockchain-like platforms like Ethereum as the ARPANET to our internet. The opportunities to supplant existing fully centralized systems such as stock exchanges, escrow systems, supply chain/provenance tracking, etc. with a fully decentralized or hybrid approach is huge.
In the end though, I think it will come down to where governments draw the line in the sand. The sad but true reality is that the regulators with the guns will always have ultimate power.
