If you want to build a website in Clojure, I highly recommend checking out http://luminusweb.net - the documentation is amazing, and it incorporates nearly all of the best practices I have seen. Making an API in Clojure using Sw

I will give you a perspective of someone who has used Linux on my main desktop since 1997, but I do keep up to date with other platforms: VS + C# + Azure integration is excellent, and there is nothing which prohibits turning up a 2nd instan

I share the same concerns - due to the small form factor of these laptops, it isn't a standard, commodity you can find easily. Especially in the Pixel's case where it is a limited production run to begin with.

This is a really fun competition and it really highlights how friendly and light hearted the community can be, while showcasing how easy it is to be productive in clojure. Can't wait for next year!

It looks like having a github account is how you get started, then you fork the repo and run tests after each exercise. Pretty neat

I have to admit I have not been a huge fan of some of the design choices in the past or the way Gnome responded to the community. With that said, the new releases work very well for me and it really does work well for my day to day use. C

I set up MaaS in a couple of hours at home. I bought a couple of used Dell C6105's off ebay for a great deal, and they work out of the box with MaaS. Pretty nice to be able to remotely boot and image the servers, power them off and o

This is very cool, especially that they took the time to write up a series of tutorials for "TrapperKeeper" which is really what the post is announcing: https://github.com/puppetlabs/trapperkeeper It looks ve

This is a topic that I would love to see brought up more, and I think there is a lot Linux can learn from Solaris. As someone who was only exposed to Solaris in the last 4 years (using Linux since '96), I have become increasingly inte

I love to see that Google is on their top donors page every year, it shows their commitment to supporting open source and the tools they have used to build their business on. http://www.openbsdfoundation.org/contributors.htm

I would love to see a few more people contribute to open source. I read article after article about people who want to make a switch from their Apple or Microsoft Desktop, but then say open source / floss desktops are not ready or not

The websites look fantastic, I am going to give this a shot today. I have been looking at Luminus as a Clojure framework, however Caribou looks pretty nice. Great time to be interested in creating websites with Clojure!

I have been running this for a few months and it was worked well. For the curious I did use BTRFS as my default file system, and KDE4 desktop. A few things I do after installing: * Install proprietary nvidia driver * Install steam (this

I am doing the same, once the OS gets released and I can buy controllers I will be hooking it up as the main system. The thing steam gets right is that everyone in the house who uses games has a great experience, from 10 - 35 years old it

It looks like Gnome has come a long way since the early 3.x releases. I especially like the menu bar being used fully, not having that space wasted is a small detail that has a big impact. I will definitely be giving this a try.

I have gone back and forth on a bunch of different setups, and the T430S with Linux is a great combination. The keyboard / trackpoint are awesome and they are very fast, durable machines that work out of the box with Linux.

I actually bought "Cocos2d-X By Example Beginners Guide" and it was very easy to get up and running with a demo application. The samples included with the framework itself show off a features and nothing has been all that complex

I actually had this conversation at work the other day. For those of us who can collaborate and code, it makes a lot of sense to help open source projects. If not us, then who? For that matter, a healthy open source / free software e

I think that a lot of us on HN would not even try to write a word processor, as we know how difficult it is, and that the barrier to entry is high. This shows that it is possible to make a minimum viable product with one person with persist

The system worked flawlessly for me, and hitting * to automatically connect to the next representative or senator saved a ton of time. Great work!

For those that have thought about running something similar in production, I have a few questions: 1. Shared kernel - in this model all of the containers have a shared kernel, so any activity or even tuning (ie io scheduler) would impact al

I am not sure that is fair; the websites above mention that they can no longer purchase laptops without a Microsoft license, which hurts their ability to remain profitable. Ie at one point you could argue that if you didn't like AT&T, t

I know HN is a very pro Apple crowd, but I wanted to share that I have had a very similar experience. Windows 8 is actually incredibly solid, fast, and has a ton of great tools available. SSH on Windows works just as well as OS X, and slee
