What was your main reason from moving from Fedora to Debian. Is it the package manager or any other reason?

At that time, Debian Tesing was more stable than a standart Fedora.

I am trying Fedora on a VM. It looks similar to Ubuntu. Trying to get use to the package manager. What are a few things you like about Fedora after moving from Ubuntu.

I think they were mainly related to my machine. On Ubuntu my laptop was getting super hot all the time, even with extra tools and extra drivers installed. Also I was using Ubuntu with Gnome, and it wasn't so fluid. With Fedora, Gnome just works perfectly, the laptop doesn't get hot and the battery just lasts longer.

this looks very interesting and I like the screenshots but I wonder this is more for general use and not towards development use.

simplicity. used for web browsing, terminal and listen to music. light. I tried installing Debian. Half an hour later the install crashed :)

That's odd. No insight as to what caused it?

Generally shouldn't be much of a difference you'd notice for those tasks other than the desktop environment.

the install was taking about 30 min. It said something like 'software install' error. Continue. Error loop. On the other hand I tried Fedora and it installed in 5 min. no errors :) yeah you are right not much difference. Ubuntu Unity and in Fedora Gnome 3 look almost the same to me. Although I tried Gnome3 on Ubuntu before too.

Yes this is exactly the same problem. Thanks so much.

I understand that an app is content wrapped around a concept. It is common sense not to use a known name unless you are asking for trouble. I could make a news app. Do I want to name it CNN? No, unless I am authorized to use that name. It is naive to think you can use just any name, even if you meant good. You are looking for trouble. Next time call it something else. The video app. Learn by Watching...I mean you couldn't come up with another name?

The problem is he specifically tried to figure out if that was the problem and google wouldn't say. Perhaps he got the banhammer for not getting using a (TM) after the brand name in the descriptions. Perhaps he's actually in trouble for not getting permission for some of the content in the screenshots. All of that is probably a good idea. But specifically, he will never know why he got the banhammer and we will never know either.

The problem with whatever-as-a-service business model, is you're never worth more than a penny more to the provider than the cost of sales to replace you when/if you leave. So, people are throwing themselves at google to be an app dev, so I guess he's worth precisely nothing at all to GOOG.

A business relationship where one side is worthless to the other is best described as parasitism and often that doesn't turn out well for the parasite. That is the true lesson for all app developers to learn from this story. An inherent part of the biz model is you can get annihilated and the host (host as in parasite lifecycle model) will not care. Make sure you understand that, when making business decisions.

Even though I admire DHH's contribution to software he can be very extremist sometimes. Follow him on twitter and you see him taking extremes complaining about every other subject, including a lot of cursing.

I agree and emphasize on "some" hackathons. I went to hackathons where the winner is well-deserved and there is code of honor. Fair game on judging. It makes me feel that the most over-produced over-sponsored over the top hackathons are the ones that have suspicious behavior.

I'm glad to hear you agree, but to be honest when I read you article I didn't pick up the emphasis's on "some" at all. You seemed pretty harsh on all Hackathons.

No problem if the walk off with a new macbook. Yes problem if the walk off with a chance to win $100K at a national event with investors.

YES "no prior coding or design" although this is not followed. There is no transparency in the process and also not regulated. There are no code reviews or not way of knowing if somebody came with a "ready to serve" product. Even a less a code of honor.
