Oh my, this is exactly what I was looking for. I'm going to dive in into this but does anyone maybe know about similar online resources you could learn some more advanced physics topics? Btw, Susskind is such a great man, love his way of work and persistence.

yup, that's a terrible example, not only because of the stupid variable name but poor example code choice. It's work in progress I assume.

AngularJS is very interesting, simple and powerful, but can anyone give some insights of how to properly use it for just a part of the website? I don't want to have JS only webapp, but to serve full server-generated pages. Or maybe it's wrong tool for the job?

That reminds me of this terrific example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOYCkHFMnVc Funny/sad, but true.

Similar here, but Xubuntu (12.04). Old laptop previously running Ubuntu 9.04 which this time just worked out of the box. Everything they need. Internet connectivity, browser, Skype (no webcam though). They are happy as it's enough for them (parents over 60). New installation doesn't brake, no viruses, very safe for them to work with it. I can't imagine giving them Windows (which will not run smoothly on this laptop) worrying they will have lots of spyware, viruses, etc. after few months.

On the other hand my personal laptop runs Arch with DWM. I don't look back at Ubuntu for professional use. I'm so much happier.

Crazy man ;) Great to see people like that and sometimes to take some of the positive craziness with you. This made my day.

Fantastic news, IPython deserves it and can't wait what they will deliver next.

dwm is my favorite so far, does the job very well, but as python dev I should give qtile more attention again. Looks interesting.

Brilliant idea indeed! I would like to see it more customized though, especially to print #tag results... Later to choose your paper depending on your mood.

Good article as a reminder what should you focus on. That's one of my New Year's resolutions about code projects. To show something in quite early stage of development - instead of trying to get everything done. Having a feedback straight away, from users that would eventually use your software, will validate your idea. Recommended to all of those who starts projects and abandon them after a while of intensive work which wasn't shown to anybody. It of course applies to small projects, or ideas to test. If you plan to start a big company, then there are other ways for validation.

It's great to be a programmer

I agree with you and although I am not U.S. citizen and I read HN several times a day (so it will be a hard day without it) I give you full support in this action. Just go ahead and fight!

Just so you know: FB and Twitter auth doesn't work atm. Otherwise, it's a nice app.

fun idea :)

"...May Build Your Next House". Yea, right. All in all it's designed to kill people in the end.

It's not Cracker News here.

Never too much of Python promotion. Upvoted.

No way.

One of my favorite actors. The best one in comedy! I was hoping for many more great movies from him... Thank you for the laughts. Rest in peace.

Sometimes it's not worth to work for stock options. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyM3HVdH1Kw

That's right. Facebook doesn't fn care about maintaining API and when something isn't working you find out it's deprecated, without warning.

It's strange but after Python I don't feel like I need/want to learn sth new.

I second that. Pomodoro Technique is dead simple and yet effective! No more procrastination while doing boring or where-to-start-with-that things. It really helped me a lot.

Simple and useful. I like it.

Setup: * Pylons+SQLAlchemy+formencode+Mako+WSGI apps * PostrgeSQL * Nginx

Tools: * Virtualenv * Fabric

Best combination. Zope, Django, Web2py, web.py are just not that flexible & reliable for advanced web applications (IMHO).

use python, it's simpler ;) python -c "print 'd29ya0BzdHJlZXRlYXN5LmNvbQ=='.decode('base64')"
