Fedora (and other rpm-based distros, OpenSUSE in particular) are easier to build/modify packages for than deb-based distros and have easier to use build services with better automation, IMO.

In what universe would it be a good idea for students use laptops in class?

Use of digital devices should be limited because the very use of digital devices separates us from what is going on around us. Students should listen and take notes (in a notebook) as necessary.
The line that I heard is that they're getting priced out of the New York region and start moving 2-3 hours west. Adjusted for inflation, they probably make a lot less money than a coal worker did there in the 20th century. I'm not sure the numbers are really as high as the outrage from the "older" population either.

Also, in terms of "Pennsylvania being livable", careful about painting the whole of Pennsylvania with a wide brush. There's an old like about Pennsylvania: it's Philadelphia and Pittsburgh with Alabama in the middle.
Not to mention that the limitation in the API usage made the soundnode app useless, as it hits the API limit in a few hours of use.

They are failing not to provide an alternative and to prevent you from using an alternative.

I get that this is designed to facilitate "learning to code within the context of the visual arts" and I think that's great but holy shit tone down the javascript nonsense on your website. Granted, I'm not the target audience but the site was gorgeous before the animations started. Simple, complimentary colors made me want to read the carefully chosen font face.
Fedora has "just-worked" for awhile and I don't have a particularly good reason to move to Ubuntu. It's nice that Fedora doesn't patch upstream much, and I learned how to build custom RPMs about 20 years ago.
The farthest directly observed objects are galaxies and quasars, to about 13 billion light years from us. We have indirect evidence of individual stars that far out, but prior to this discovery the farthest directly observed star[1] (SDSS J1229+1122) was 55 million light years away, so this is quite a leap.

Looks like eSpam promotion?
Well sure. That's my whole point. If the US engages in what I consider immoral or otherwise indefensible behavior, the fact that I am an American has no bearing on how harshly I judge that behavior. I hold Russians to the same standards as I hold myself, therefore I expect them to denounce the actions of their government when appropriate.

I don't give two shits whether or not some other country (including my own) has engaged in the same shitty behavior that some other country that I'm currently worried about is currently engaged in. Shitty behavior is shitty behavior no matter who's doing it, and I have zero tolerance for it.

If Russia has mysterious patterns of Putin's political opponents getting imprisoned or murdered on a regular basis, the fact that some American politicians may have done something similarly shitty at some point had absolutely zero affect on me. Yeah, it's just as shitty when America does it. What's your fucking point? I'm speaking out as a human being, not as an American calling out Russia. Accusations of hypocrisy mean nothing to me, or anyone in this debate (I would hope at least). I don't complain about Russia because I think America is better, I complain about Russia because Putin is one of the most colossal fucking assholes in the entire fucking world right now.
More eSpam promotion?
Honestly I think it's great showing what it can do as there were parts of the video that were interactive. The point is to show that P5 allows you do do interactive visual applications and an introductory video that shows that you can do that is rather interesting. I just started checking out this http://hello.processing.org/editor/ and it is in the same spirit. I personally think this should be how all instruction should be. There really is no point in learning if doing is saved for a possible future.
Having gone through the process of marrying react and d3 - IMHO it's far easier to let react do DOM diffing and manipulation, and let d3 worry about data processing. The two work great together, just so long as you don't try to shoehorn one into the other. React more or less mirrors data(), enter(), and exit() with props, componentDid(/Will)Mount, and componentWillUnmount
http://foreignpolicy.com is a good source... the digital subscription is worth the price. You need to pay for good curation. I like the links to source documents. They also provide names of officials. I highly recommend.

http://www.middleeasteye.net/ is another good site. good analysis and helps me understand what is really going on. They link to source documents. Very useful.

I loved GEOS too, used it on my C64. It was probably black magic that they got it to run so well on there.
Regarding your second point, I think it would be a very bad idea. Many apps bring in little money. Mine doesn't even pay for my Internet bill, let alone my other expenses, as a concrete example. If I'm forced legally to maintain them, I won't be able to take the risk of building more. I'll have to quit and take up a 9-to-5 job again.

How much did you pay for that app? A few dollars? For that money, it's not realistic, given the economics, to expect support for a defined period of time. Enterprise contracts, as an example, do have a defined support period but are much costlier. Or you can outsource the development, or buy the app from the developer, all of which are much costlier than a few dollars. Or write it yourself, which is again much costlier in your time. It's simply not financially viable to guarantee that for a few dollars.

Instead, it's more like a one-time thing: you buy what is offered today. There's no promise of updates. Heck, there isn't even a promise that the developer will keep the servers running. If the business isn't working out, despite the developer trying everything possible to make it work, the only option is to shut it down, which is no different from other businesses. This is the unfortunate reality.

I grew up using Debian and later Ubuntu, longer than 10 years on those distros as a kid and into my career as a sysadmin/operations person. Ubuntu LTS was my main workhorse form about 10.04 through to ~14.04.3.

Late 2015 I decided I wanted a "Chromebook" style user experience where I could have a repeatable build of the base OS that could be thrown away plus a backup system based around duplicity to restore my homedir. I had used preseed to deploy large fleets of Ubuntu boxes at work so it was a natural option.
But I decided a few things: Firstly, I was sick of LTS 3.x kernel. Secondly, if 16.04 and all other distros were adopting systemd I may as well go to the source and use a RH based distro. Finally, that preseed wasn't as good as Kickstart used in RH based distros.

So I came up with https://github.com/sinner-/kickstart-fedora-workstation to provide repeatable builds of Fedora the way that I like it. I've been happily using it since then (across 2 versions of Fedora and a hard drive failure)! The .ks file will be updated for F26 this weekend as it just went GA today.

Off topic, but it seems to me that the "Python 3 by default" logo has cobras, not pythons.
When I see the specs of things like the Raspberry Pi and Apps like this, it makes me wonder how great a system like that could be.

Executable size may not be the best measure of these things though. Ram usage of some things can be quite huge. tinyapps.org seems to avoid this by disallowing things needing runtimes, which while not the cause of RAM bloat, often tends to be a common factor.

I'd actually like to see an interface for micro controller style apps. Like An 8 bit AVR emulator that could do some kernel syscalls to the hosted environment. It would allow for a class of apps to be written that would have a fixed memory footprint. There's some Irony here in that this would also be a runtime.

I once had a volume knob widget on my task bar that used 4 meg of ram. Somehow I feel it could have been done better.

That is great, but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with that information? I was merely responding to your inaccurate statement about Linux as it pertains to your opinion on what the "Unix Philosophy" is. Which itself is a mostly irrelevant vague and subjective term that anyone can apply in any way they seem fit, so I suppose there is no point in even arguing over it. Good day !
I agree completely. I never said that it should be used for evaluation or that you shouldn't read the code or docs.

But then the question is... how do you find high quality libraries without something like download count? The issue is signaling good libraries, with poor discovery. I subscribe to many "libraries worth looking at" mailing lists, the awesome lists, etc. but that is still a pretty coarse net. Searching for libraries on GitHub if you don't know the name already or don't really know what you're specifically looking for is an even worse experience.

Combine that with relatively poor fuzzy search on Hex, where even if you DO know what you're looking for, it leads to a very subpar experience. For example, "e-commerce" leads to different results than "commerce". [0][1] These then exclude [2], which is an ecommerce library available on Hex without that keyword.

There are sane replacements for SysV Init, like runit.[1] None of these other init replacements try to absorb the functionality of a ton of other core services like sysstemd does either, so they're a lot easier to swallow. You'll notice there was no holy war against upstart or OpenRC, for instance.

Two years ago I was looking for a distro that I'd love, after testing a few I decided on Arch, I liked it's approach for learning how the system works. But one year ago I got tired of it, I wanted a distro that was easy to set up and was between Ubuntu and Fedora.

In the end I stuck with Fedora because I preferred GNOME over Unity, and because it would let me try Wayland before any other distro... I like the "consumer focused bleeding edge" that Fedora offers.
Bit of a scare tactic. Page is an ad for Mr. Hunt's $299 course.

It's all true. However, I would make the case for Pat Q. Mainstream feeling less alarmed by "Not Secure" messages than most HN readers.

Note the Twitter example is from Mr. Hunt, not a random internet user.
The other commenters have given you some good technical advice. privacytools.io provides a basic overview, which is commendable.

However, it's worth investigating in detail what exactly it is you worry about, and what privacy goals you have. Once you have a clear definition of those, write it down and think long and hard about whether it should inform your behavior. I used to be obsessed with privacy but after using this method I understood that I was in fact responding to a different set of emotions which manifested themselves into this. This led me to abandon my previous concerns and take the calculated risk between the convenience of internet services and the potential but nebulous harm that might come to me as a result of data trails.
I'm unclear on how the cap would be a starting point? To DelaneyM & pcmaffey's point, it then becomes a proxy for price, so you've effectively set a valuation.

Would it be more appealing if you the round was closed in the next few months, so you investing early would be well rewarded with the discount?

Dan Shiffman's youtube channel "The Coding Train", his books and website - are really great introductions/tutorials to general programming, creative programming, natural language analysis, machine learning and a whole bunch of other topics. He has this ability to make technical-sounding (or actually technical) concepts and projects interesting, non-scary for beginners (and non-math background people) and fun. In my view - his books & videos are prolly the best introductions to programming for kids and people who have a fear of programming.

If you read the various blog posts and interviews - the history of Processing at his department (NYU Tisch ITP) had a purpose of encouraging 'creative' people to explore and gain an exposure to programming.

All link to above can be found on his personal site - http://shiffman.net/

As I made an effort to demonstrate, you and the author's assumptions about these voluntary interactions being exploitive, and the cause of income disparity, are incorrect. What you and the author are advocating, which is prohibitions on voluntary interactions that you've concluded are exploitive, will in fact exacerbate income inequality, by artificially reducing competition, which allows incumbents to exploit the public by extracting economic rent.
It seems like a hidden element that we aren't talking about which really might affect everyone's reference points is the time duration between SAFE and priced rounds.

For a lot of people, I see the difference being the start of the process, and the end of process which can be a few months - in which case, an uncapped with discount seems entirely reasonable.

It seems like you are referring to a case where a substantial time has passed to materially affect the valuation in a substantive way?
To counter that I have found Fedora's bleeding edge approach quite usable on my home machine for doing my personal programming. It was also.the first Linux distribution with true (and great imo) High DPI support that to me was very good. Almost as good as macOS in implementation.
I have a project with fairly complex YAML config files.

YAML quickly gets cranky and brittle, there are too many ways to do everything, and it's very challenging to easily debug some of the syntax errors. If I had to do it over again, I'd probably go with json over yaml.

With JSON, I can have my text editor do the validation before I even save. That kind of tooling just doesn't exist for YAML.
The website is a bit distracting. And I would also add actual examples in the images, because the abstract shapes doesn't help me to properly visualise how everything is presented.
This could get tricky. I imagine, at some point when you feel the round is closing, you'd want to set some terms/valuation and ensure that the biggest investor (or most/all of the investors) feel good about that.
> I think if you put all of those math problems in terms of fairness, you'd get more kids to pay attention. Nobody wants to get cheated

That's quite insightful! I can think of a few related approaches that could round it out, like frugality (eg. only buy the paint/bugspray/lumber/etc. you actually need for your project), and laziness (do the least amount of work possible that still gets the job done).

Steps to Install 2 Way and 4 Way Cable Splitters
Well, and not only that, but some other fairly simple things that make our Earth truly rare indeed. For example, our solar system is "inside out" with the big fat gas giants on the outside. This is proving to be pretty unusual. We've modeled that there used to be another Saturn or Neptune that ended up causing our gas giants to move outward in their orbits. This might make it extremely easier for Earth-like conditions to form, where life could evolve beyond some kind of muck living off chemicals in environments with immense pressure and heat. Can't build a factory there. And we've got a moon. A fairly large moon, at that. Perhaps Jupiter and our own moon have been absorbing the space debris for some billion years, allowing conditions on Earth to become better still. I think the Rare Earth theory doesn't make our Earth rare enough.

It seems like in cases where the companies aren't able to raise a round, they are probably not going to work out. At that stage, the point seems moot given the SV mantra of this being a 'a game of outliers'.

Venezuelans Turn to ZCash and Ethereum Amidst Political Turmoil
Maybe! I just don't think programming (even in Haskell!) is similar enough to algebra for this to be effective, no matter how much we all want it to be. Programming still requires a mental model of how machines compute, which is a good thing to learn about but not (in my opinion!) a strong complement to learning math.

Don't get me wrong though, I learned programming and calculus at the same time, I'm not saying you can't learn both at once, I just don't think one helps much in learning the other, for a novice in both.

Much depends on point of view.

For the operating system, sure, use the OS packages.

For writing and deploying an application in a language? Never use the OS packages; manage it using the language's tools. My Python applications deploy into a virtualenv and install their dependencies using pip.

Since you asked ... As both a writer and reader, I fucking hate it. I think it's fucking piss-poor writing by journalists who don't know how to be journalists and don't even know how to write an article, all in the name of attracting simple-minded readers with a one of the lamest prose techniques possible. I'm here to read an article about patents. I'm not interested in the opening few paragraphs of a bad novel. If I wanted to read a bad novel, I'd pick up a bad novel. If these "journalists" want to write a novel, then they should do that and stop writing "journalism" articles.

This is one of the worst scourges of online "journalism" and frankly, I'm tired of having to skip the first few paragraphs of every article because I don't want to read some fucking stupid little story over and over again and want to get to the content. What ever happened to traditional journalism, where the facts are laid out at the top and the details come in later? It seems that "journalism" nowadays can't even get that right. If they want to put a stupid story, at least put it at the end where it belongs, where few or none will read it.

You could say this is a little pet peeve of mine. Thanks for asking.
In 15 years my family has gone through maybe 4 routers total. The first was the original 54G linksys router, that didn't even have wifi, eventually we upgraded to the WRT54G, and had that for at least 8 years, finally it couldn't handle all the devices so we upgraded to an N, 5GHZ, we only had to replace that one because of a faulty surge protector and a power surge. Since then we've had no issues in a fairly large 6 bedroom 3 story house.

There are 2 scenarios:

1. wealth concentrated in the hands of a few white men

2. wealth concentrated in the hands of a few

In the first scenario, it is difficult for white men to join the elite club while virtually impossible for non-White men (and women) to do so. In the second scenario at least one problem is fixed, as it gets equally difficult (not impossible) to everybody join the elite club, which is good enough to start.
Wow, this seems like an beautiful technique.

Apparently, it's not that the dodecahedron is uniquely suitable, rather it offers the best compromise between competing factors. In this process, it mostly serves as a cage to hold the object for immersion, although it has some other useful properties as well:

"There is no other 3d platonic structure that has a higher fill-factor (volume that can be inscribed within a sphere of rotation) relative to the entrance hole (i.e. face area), while minimizing periphery length."

"Intuitively, one might suspect that both the dodecahedron and the icosahedron are reasonable choices of structure for the given constraints, with their subjective scores of 4.6 and 4.0 respectively. The dodecahedron offers increased fill factor, aperture size, and minimizes the periphery length, and is simple to manufacture."
