Founder, JyMob. Lurker on the venerable HN. I do something new and constantly find myself outside the "comfort zone" (not a good place to constantly be in, I guess). Respect hackers. Want to be one.
Is there anyone who's worth giving a try against the Mac onslaught and mindshare? I believe that Apple's hardware is simply superb. Is there any vendor that I can spend ~ USD 600 on a laptop and get a decent value for money? (Had pretty bad experience with Asus, Sony Vaio :-( )
I am reading Peter Gray's Free to Learn. It's a refreshing look at schooling. You have expressed thoughts about "how to fix schools" in H&P. What do you think of Peter Gray's book?
I loved this program that helps you draw pure ASCII diagrams! I was looking for something minimalistic to draw flowcharts and ran into asciio. What are some such cool tools you use and love?
