home - h-node.org Objectives: The h-node project aims at the construction of a hardware database in order to identify what devices work with a fully free operating system. The h-node.org website is structured like a wiki in which all the users can modify or insert new contents. The h-node project is developed in collaboration and as an activity of the FSF. Contribute: You can contribute by creating an account at h-node.org and editing its user-generated contents. Free software: In order to add a device to the h-node database, you must verify that it works using only free software. 1) A GNU/Linux distribution that is on the FSF's list of endorsed distributions 2) Debian GNU/Linux, with only the main archive area enabled. h-node lists only hardware that works with free drivers and without non-free firmware.

Management Books Vijay Gill's Blog I came across “The 12 Simple Secrets of Microsoft Management: How to Think and Act Like a Microsoft Manager and Take Your Company to the Top.” Reading it now in 2010, I can’t help but chuckle at the wide-eyed fanboy writing. Then I saw “The Google Way: How One Company Is Revolutionizing Management as We Know It” and it cemented my opinion that whenever a book endorses any particular “way” of management with the benefit of hindsight and makes a point that all it would take for your company to be similarly successful is follow the bromides in the book, it is a clear sign that the person writing the book has no clue what they are going on about. This is what the people think matters: This is actually what matters: Like this: Like Loading...
Slashdot.org - News for Nerds ! Transcripts Episode #32 PyPy.js - PyPy Python in Your Browser - [Talk Python To Me Podcast] Imagine a future where you are building that rich, client-side web app. You start by creating some backend services in Flask or Node, an HTML page, throw in a few divs and uls, and then you type <script src="main.py" language="Python">. That future might just be possible, for the right types of applications, with Ryan Kelly's pypy.js project. This is Talk Python To Me with guest Ryan Kelly, show number 32, recorded Wednesday, September 30th 2015. [music intro] Welcome to Talk Python to Me. Sponsors This episode is brought to you by Hired and Codeship. Hey everyone. 1:51 Ryan, welcome to the show. 1:53 Thanks for having me. 1:54 I'm super excited that you are here today, we are going to talk about Python but in a place you typically do not find it- int he browser, right? 2:01 Yep. 2:02 Yeah there is a lot of cool projects out there, and I'm a huge fan of the one that you've been working on. 3:18 Yeah. 3:28 Yeah, sure. 5:00 That's right. 6:11 Right. 6:21 Sure. 7:11 Yeah, that's great. 7:53 Sure.
OpenStreetMap : pourquoi vous devriez l'utiliser OpenStreetMap (OSM), souvent appelé « la Wikipédia des cartes », gagnerait à être plus connu parmi les libristes. Je suis moi-même un contributeur récent, puisque j'ai appris à contribuer à OpenStreetMap grâce à une sympathique personne qui animait le stand OSM au FOSDEM 2013… et je suis devenu, depuis cette date, un contributeur assidu. Nous vous laissons découvrir ce retour d'expérience dans la suite de la dépêche. NdM : merci à Alexis de Lattre pour son journal. Base de données et moteurs de rendu Tout d'abord, il faut bien comprendre qu'OpenStreetMap en lui-même n'est que la base de données d'informations géographique (330 Gio sans compression et 20 Gio avec une compression PBF) et non un moteur de rendu ou de navigation. OpenStreetMap, l'Île de Mann OpenPisteMap, Chamonix OpenCycleMap, La Haie Hors ligne et points d'intérêt la possibilité de télécharger la carte en local sur son téléphone au format vectoriel et de pouvoir l'utiliser hors ligne.

The Democrats Are Doomed, or How A Big Tent Can Be Too Big OkTrends Time and again in American politics, Republicans have voted as a unit to frustrate our disorganized Democratic majority. No matter what's on the table, a few Democrats will peel away from the party core; meanwhile, all Republicans will somehow manage to stay on-message. Thus, they caucus block us. Articles noting this phenomenon anecdotally appear all the time, and despite the recent hopeful spate of Democratic victories, it's undeniable that the Republicans form an exceptionally effective opposition party. I should start off by pointing out that the Left/Right political framework we're usually handed is insufficient for a real discussion, because political identity isn't one-dimensional. There are many methods of looking at the political spectrum, but the best way I've come across is to hold social politics and economic politics separate, and measure a person's views on each in terms of permissiveness vs. restrictiveness on a 2-dimensional plane. The Implication of Our Two-Party System
