modernise··on Tell HN: Free Idea
I like that, but for two reasons, first, I'm broke, second, I'm flat broke, and second, I'd see way too much IE traffic, Jones. Sincerely, Smith

modernise··on Is Python The New Basic? ("Python For Kids")
Remember those laptops for African kids? They integrated Python for learning to program. I only watched the video, back then, but I remember them showing the Python console.

Pretty good if you've written the markup and styling by hand. You'll need to integrate some kind of submissions form to get the full experience, which I recommend some kind of framework.

It makes you think. And it is not evil. And it means not less than nothing. Knives out, eh?

modernise··on Ask HN: Do you believe in God?
Perfect being is a psychological reality. Faith does not entail religion. Sartre pronounced himself an atheist, but wrote extensively about the problem of bad faith. You put your faith in others every day. The problems begin when you put your faith in systems, rather than subjects (read: Worlds). Make faith-investing a conscious process. What about this Subject am I taking/acquiescing to on faith? vis what I am taking as manifest (read: System). Faith in Subject is good, and in System, not so much. All Subject is good, and all System is for sale. Everything else is pronunciation and posturing.
modernise··on Ask HN: was anything ever easy?
No one punches these keys, ~!@#$%^&*()-+, w regularity who embraces ease, as a cartographical matter of fact. I think the root problem you're asking about is how to deal with confusion and overwhelm, rather than difficulty.
modernise··on Ask HN: Some ideas to make 20,000$ in a year without a degree?
Grow indoor hydroponic marijuana.
modernise··on Ask HN: I can't think of anything that I could make that people would want.

modernise··on Ask HN: was anything ever easy?
You mistake "externalized" for ease.

modernise··on Ask HN: I need App ideas for students/teachers
Keeping track of which students need more attention. Or a way to quickly tap the attitude level and amount of interaction of students in between classes. Then the teacher can evaluate that each term. I think that would be neat.
modernise··on Ask HN: was anything ever easy?
What's sure is that, to quote DHH, "It never gets easier."

If you feel things are getting easier, than you're doing it wrong.

modernise··on Ask HN: Where do deadpool founders go?
The people with free advices.
modernise··on Ask HN: Where do deadpool founders go?
I'm looking for someone to make all sorts of A/V how-to's and be the face of the company. Since I'm looking at small-town America, it would seem unlikely then that we could help each other here. Besides, I contradict myself. I failed at poetry and took up hacking. By my logic I should be writing better poetry :-)

Just don't feel you owe these guys too much.

modernise··on Ask HN: I can has cofounder?
They are the same. It was meant to draw you out. It seems to be working okay. In reality I need only a great personality for the how-to A/V. It would be great to work beside a quality hacker, especially if this hacker is head-over in love with the world and all its deep flaws. Yeah?
