I think Zed Shaw is quite the opposite of _why. I can see _why playing with kittens and making chalk drawings on the asphalt in a torrid calm summer day and Zed driving through in a camo Hummer, smoking a big cigar and listening to industri

You have all of the freedom to change the code that you always had. The code is exactly the same, but instead of being released in small chunks, it's released in one big tarball. The commit splitting and commit messages could be considered

I wonder which of Red Hat's actions make you think that they're trying to create an artificial scarcity. There are hundreds of other ditros. How does Red Hat keep them from creating a quality product?

They can't adopt Oracle's tactics because there is nobody else doing what Red Hat does. SUSE does what Red Hat does (work on the software it ships). In addition to that it also provides Enterprise Support for RHEL :). Which might make it

Linux as well. It might be that I'm using really big fonts on a really big monitor.

Have people stopped designing for Firefox? This is what I get on 3.6.13: http://i.imgur.com/26vC4.png The scrollbars disappear if you remove this attribute: .hn-wc-body { overflow: auto; }

You could make the same argument for Fedora, OpenSUSE, Ubuntu and others and I don't think it would be a good idea to have threads for all of those in this discussion.

I guess I've just seen quite a few releases lately that were also broadcast via HN. There was also a previous discussion about guile's webby features: http://news.ycombinator.org/item?id=2017419

Is anyone using guile for any fun project? Or are there any fun projects to work on with guile? I would love to learn Scheme as my next hobby language and guile seems like the way to go with all the things that have started to happen with i

This is a really good list for people who want to get involved in a Python project. I only wish it were bigger and it would contain smaller projects as well. DecoratorTools shouldn't really be on that list though, since it doesn't make any

Collaborating with distribution packagers is a lot better than maintaining your own repositories. Packagers should always be up to speed with the latest guidelines and best practices for their distribution. I have often seen badly built pa
