Yes and with ease for the first two. Yes, but you may have to write some Nix code for the last.

Nix is getting mentioned a lot in this thread. If anyone's interested in NixOS feel free to email me. I switched to it on my main computer about a month ago and might be able to give some perspective on what it's like. My config i

Anyone know if there's a formal name for this situation/problem? Thanks for the clear explanation BTW.

This is a great point. Fundamentally, how well I uphold the trust of my friends is connected to the security of my computing environment . You damn well bet I want more secure software.

Heh, that makes sense:) I guess when I read "So I'd ask you to ask yourself: is your problem really about meeting people, or is it about staying engaged with people?" ... it seems really obvious that the problem in OP's

Sorry if this seems like a nitpick-- but giving way too advanced social advice to people is one of my pet peeves. Talking to girls in the grocery store or strangers in the subway is horrible advice here. Doubly so because you gave it in the

We have gotten somewhere -- the web has become a decent program delivery system. In the process it's degraded pretty badly as a document delivery system. If you start over I recommend separating those two projects.

Sweet! This means you could have a complete navigation system without a dataplan.

Review of reviewers is totally the way to go! It sounds like a "now you have two problems" situation, but it really isn't. Starting from the one reviewer of reviewers you know you can trust (yourself) you can build out to a n

Spam sites are definitely a legitimate concern. I really love the idea of AlternativeTo, but unfortunately don't feel comfortable adding content unless my contributions will be under an open license. So I'm not sure what great stu

Markus, what license is the content of AlternativeTo under? Have you considered one of the Creative Commons licenses like Stack Overflow?

You should check out Tent. It's a very promising protocol for social networking. Their docs are at http://tent.io and you can see an example implementation at http://tent.is .

Do you mind if others contact you as well? I might be looking for Django work soon. Also, the "email" section of HN profiles is private, so if you want other people to see your email put it in the "about" section. EDIT:

Very cool. Any chance you have an API? I just started a site to show Django jobs in NC [ http://djangonc.com/ ] and am looking for places to get data.

Gah. I'm starting to have trouble thinking about things from a non-technical perspective. I like icebraining's distinction and will try to make that clear in future descriptions.

OT, but I'm working on a modular Evernote-style system based on MultiMarkdown files: https://github.com/seagreen/baudelaire Here's the first thing built off of it (it lets you make a notebook public): http://pensieve.housejeffries.com/

Ouch. Thanks for the info. Switching to CarDAV is one of my upcoming projects but I'm not looking forward to it.

It would be way more fun to write up a personal character sheet than a resume. We need an open RPG system for real life!

I don't know if this is the absolute best way but Two Scoops of Django recommends having a tests folder in each app. So tests for example_app/views.py are placed in example_app/tests/views.py.

It would be cool to turn one into a private key safe. The Rasberry Pi interfaces your normal computer over USB, but only encrypts or signs files and does absolutely nothing else. So even if your computer is compromised the attacker still ca

CAPTCHAs are an interesting example of software that actually gets worse the more people are using it. Making fun and unique CAPTCHAs for large sites might be a good business for programmers that aren't interested in the winner-take-all pre

Heck, why not let users create a whitelist of trusted businesses? Best of both worlds.
