I use Buildout: http://docs.buildout.org/en/latest/ Buildout is much more than a Python package manager. It runs pluggable recipes, where building/installing a Python package is only one of the many available

Wow, thanks for sharing. That site and all the sites it links to restore my faith in humanity.

Well, anything special you do that covers your tracks may make you look suspicious. If Tor becomes more ubiquitous, maybe it won't draw suspicion anymore.

That Reddit thread is really great. One idea they don't mention is that perhaps the extreme transparency of winning the lottery should include anyone who begs for money. That is to say, the lottery winner should bring a camera with the

Hmm? Microsoft went through some pain, but their valuation looks fine and they are on the rise again. https://qz.com/300946/microsoft-at-its-peak-would-have-crush...

It depends on the application. I can easily imagine supercomputers running Gentoo, since Gentoo lets you build the world with risky optimization flags that just might work for you. I can also imagine high-security environments using Gentoo

I'm also a fan of Gentoo, but realistically, if they were running Debian or Red Hat or a derivative, they would be able to use the recommended releases directly from Ceph: http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/inst

Compared with Debian or Red Hat, Gentoo is really a meta-distribution. It's a nice basis for creating your own distribution. In theory, Gentoo lets you mix the latest version of some packages with well-tested, old versions of other pac

YouTube Red is a nice exception. For $10 per month, I get no ads, and some portion of my fee goes to the creators of the videos I watch. I've already taken the time to subscribe to certain creators, so now my YouTube feed is high quali

Certainly. There will always be interdependence and rural communities understand that; that's why they drive modern pickup trucks rather than horse-drawn carriages. Still, they are always looking for ways to reduce their dependence on

I'm upvoting you just for engaging in this conversation, even though I thoroughly disagree with you. :-) The "distributism" described above is the dream of virtually every rural community. People choose to live in rural commu

Surely this is a good thing, though. Computers now span every field and it's not feasible to know the math behind all types of software. It's better to go deep in a few areas and let other people take care of the rest.

Does a Raspberry Pi have enough computing power to run these two neurons in the real world? Could I attach motors and sensors to a real bike and have it drive itself? That would be amazing.

I'm often reminded of the XKCD quip that web pages are in fact the easily installable executables that so much of the marketplace was looking for over the past few decades. https://xkcd.com/1367/

I especially appreciate pianists who seem to bridge this divide. Jon Schmidt of the Piano Guys seems to be able to fluidly combine classical style and jazz improvisation in the same song. Check this out: https://www.youtube.com&#

OTOH, a rowhammer attack on ECC memory will likely flip 1 bit before it flips 2, making attacks theoretically detectable. Without ECC, there's no clear way to detect an attack.

IMHO there is a strong slant in both directions. Even HN is not immune from the current political stratification in the US.

Fascinating indeed. That's not very different from the timing of common music. Could it be that our appreciation of music is somehow related to the way our brains work?

I really enjoyed Tremulous. If it weren't plagued with aimbots, it would have developed much more, I think. Update: I just came across http://grangerhub.com/ . It looks like they're making progress!

I would pay for a book version of this work, or at least a PDF that I could print. It would be the kind of book that I could really get into. Fantastic work.

FWIW, based on recommendations here at HN, I went with the WEMOS D1 Mini early this year when I decided to replace all the electronics in my kids' RC trucks. The project went amazingly well. In each of the 2 trucks, I wired it up with

Wow, I didn't notice just how much fluctuation there has been in RAM prices. My Newegg order history shows I paid $65 for 16 GB of DDR3/1600 at the end of 2015. Now the exact same product is sold by Newegg for $122. Crazy! https:

I wonder what the author means by "a lot" of RAM and storage. I tried it for fun. The git process pegged one CPU core and swelled to 26 GB of RAM over 8 minutes, after which I had to kill it.
