One of the things that worries me about nodejs is the huge chain of dependencies. I'm not an expert on these things so it would be amazing if someone could correct me if I'm wrong. It's enough for one of the packages down the

Is it one of these things, that there are so many edge cases, regulations, domain knowledge involved that makes it perceived as too big to change? Because I'd believe that you can't just make something that looks better and sell l

Good point. A few weeks ago I made a similar point here on HN, that web dev is good for starting. Given more thoughts, I am fairly conflicted/confused about web apps vs Python :) Web apps, as you've said, are pretty straightforwar

How about running a http server on the mac exposing restful api, and using something like ESP8266 + temperature sensor, sending basic http requests to the server every minute or so? Should be much cheaper than arduino.

Same in Lithuania. Everyone who intends to do a degree in computer science is taught Pascal, olympiads are in Pascal/C++. Whether it's a good language to teach highschoolers (students in general, not preparing for olympiads) or no

That's an interesting point. But virtually social (I just made it up, not sure if it's correct but you get the idea), I believe, is very different form physically social. I think in case of video stores, it's quite similar to

I think this is a great idea. Having access to the data set itself could unlock a lot of new, creative ideas and applications beyond the expected ones. That's one great thing I've learned from the open source community. It could n
