I'm currently an A-Level Student in the UK. I can agree with all the points made.

The education system believes you still need to go to college, uni etc.

I don't anymore.

I've learnt more outside of college (internet, local groups, friends in the area I'm interested in) than what the teachers can teach (I wish they were researchers rather than "curriculum" pushers).

Nice work, I use this at the moment http://lite.launchlist.net/ as it has more checks and well a prettier interface.

No preview before post?

saw that, was just about to give you heads up on twitter but glad you've seen it.

Glad it helped! :)

Wow, thanks. I'm the developer behind hnews, great to see others using it and other similar projects being worked on :)

GitHub do provide Edu accounts, I have one! I guess I went to github.com/edu or /education or something but it gave me the form at /contact, you say what your up to, where you go and such and they put a coupon on your account to give you a free micro plan.

I think you may be thinking of a different VCS such as SVN as Git actually just stores the meta data (changes/deltas) and not full versions of the file in each commit.

As an example when you clone a repository, it downloaded it, then in goes through a process of 'Resolving Deltas'. This is it going through the history applying the changes/deltas to the files so that they are up to the most recent revision.

The only files that are added in full are binary files.

It's Actually "LogMeIn launches Cubby.com" as Join.me is another product of LogMeIn :)

Much needed update and Looking Good but one thing, why is the 'Delete Gist' on the Edit Gist Pages rather than the Main Page?

I don't see any reason too I'm afraid. If it was a security vunerbillity I would have, as I have done before ... https://help.github.com/articles/responsible-disclosure-of-s... (Ben Evans - @bencevans)

Captchas just advertise that a service has a spam problem.

There's an unofficial Google API that does the same job people may be interested in: http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=en&q=Hello+...

There's a cache of the article here: http://hncache.bensbit.co.uk/4744405?textonly=1

The page probably hasn't finished loading am I right? It appears to be loading some javascript from diskusjon.fiskehelse.org but due to the amount of traffic diskusjon.fiskehelse.org is probably getting, well, a tad overwhelmed.

Linux requires more resources, but if it's a small board you want to roll Linux checkout the Raspberry Pi!

If they do that with books, this could happen with AWS?!

Dear Sir/Madam,

We've deleted your EC2, S3... Services and Permanently suspended your AWS account due to it's been linked to another account somewhere on the internet. In other words your companies services/product/startup is offline without notice and we don't care.

As you say the Due is faster however the downside to it especially for beginners at this stage is that it's new so less docs/blog posts etc. I started on an Uno with a few Shields such as an LED Driver, Motor Driver and Ethernet Shield and that worked out pretty good for me :)

I'm sure SparkFun or some other American based company will import in bulk so you can get it cheaper from them.

Was interested, so for anyone else that might be:

I don't actually develop AIR apps but I've only seen them noticeably in the form of front-end because of the cross-compatibility with Operating Systems. From this I've come to think of it as a more desktop (opposed to browser) aware version of Flash.

UK!

Yep however now you type what you want, it works some ajax magic, press tab to activate the keyboard shortcuts then hit enter which takes you to the first result.

I use it without thinking about it now and I don't need to touch the mouse bearing in mind I'm on the keyboard typing the search.

I needed to keep it as easy as possible for friends to clone due to some not being too hot on Git so didn't want to send bundle files than them have to move it to somewhere they can use it (outside of an email attachment) then find it in terminal, then have to extract it... instead they run one line that's given to them and pow, they've got it.

Sorry for the confusion, I shall put it in the description :)
