What a lot people may not know is that these universities release many of their lectures online on youtube. I have watched some in the past to catch up with missing notes and it was helpful. Edit -- Link - http://www.youtube.com&

package management is best handled through PIP. Virtualenv for isolated environments.

I may not like java that much - mostly due to bad experiences from uni. But WOW! that video was really great, very funny.

I agree. Really well laid out, easy to understand for lay person without using too much technical jargon. I enjoyed the long code pastes; rather than a github repo link.

Yes I understand that. I was just asking in terms of the features that it currently offers compared to XBMC?

by tharshan09 13y ago
woah, this is really cool. How does this compare to XBMC on the raspmc distro? I am really tempted to try this out on my rpi because a lot of the software stack used could be hacked on easily.

Do you have any advice for someone who would want to pursue that industry now that is in their early 20's? I agree you should strive to do what you love, but if the pay you could potentially get is also good for it then there is no harm try

by tharshan09 13y ago
Good advice and I think it rings true with what people have adviced me in the past. Could you elaborate on the generalize at 20 part if you can? I do most of the things you suggestions - maybe not open source so much yet.. but something is

Yes before taxes. The 16k I reported was before. So I got roughly ~12k.

Holy crap. I am student in the UK, recently did a internship at a fairly well known company. Got paid £16k for that year. If I were to get a full time job, it would be around ~30k a year. These figures are insane, people have told me in per

Good idea, but after browsing through the pages on preview on amazon, I am not sure my sister who is high school will understand most of this. There is a lot acronyms all of the place, and while there are illustrations, I have yet to see il

I ran all those services at once to try out the performance, and I have to say turning on SABnzbd took the biggest hit. SSH'in for example was just dam slow. I am not sure how you manage to run all those with XBMC on as well. I was using ra

I just put XBMC on it, and use it to watch TV Shows and Movies occasionally using put.io service - Amazes every non technical person I know. No interesting projects yet.

Thanks - purchased through amazon.com for £28 with shipping. amazon.co.uk would have been £38 and apparently taken longer to deliver.

Really interesting. Could someone explain how these features relate in a language like python or C? Do they have the same features, but are more complicated to implement or is the architecture not even there to support such?

Great work. I am sure this would be useful if there was a filter on official documentation sites like jquery or php.net etc. In the spirit of HN, how does it work and what powers it? :)

Thanks for releasing the source code. Could you give some background info on what the important files do? Such as the ones in the lib folder. Some methods can be guessed from code, but it would be nice to hear an overview from you.

I think you are on the right track. If you are using python+django already the I would suggest you stick with it. The problem with python+django is that its a bit more complicated to deploy etc. So you probably do not want to mess around wi
