Obama Wants All Americans to Learn Code
I don’t think any big push to teach students to write code is going to save that crappy website at this late date. Poor misguided fool.

Maybe he is hoping some student will fix the Obamacare site.
This is just another example of it.
I also can't believe that I agree with that Marxist about knowing code.
I would encourage and promote, while he will require and eventually destroy any interest.
Publish all the code to the ACA website as Open Source.
reject_with_extreme_prejudice();
forward_personal_info_to_irs();
add_to_dhs_watch_list();
exit();

Disclaimer: If you haven't figured it out, I am an Open Source advocate.
I just wish Blender was more user-friendly*, and Gimp more like Photoshop.
*trivia: what company coined the term "user-friendly", and for what product? Remember, Googling is cheating.. :)
I'm going to take a shot and say Steve Jobs' NeXT where I believe "Insanely Great" was also coined.
Side note: My first professional contract was on the NeXT. It was a great time.
Commodore, for the wonder computer of the 80s... the Vic-20.
Which by today's standards was anything *but* user friendly, lol.
Bought a c compiler for it and was off to the races from there.
My next home computer was the AT&T 3B1.
That's right, full blown UNIX System V command line!
Ah, the good old days.
And with the secondary tape drive!
My first computer was a Vic-20, followed by a C-64, followed by an SX-64 followed by an Amiga 1000, Toshiba T1100+, Amiga 2000, 3000, C-128, a 286 PC I built myself, and it goes downhill from there.
Oh, and my latest acquisition a few months ago was a TRS-80 model 100...
I've a 300 mhz K6-2 sitting behind me with DOS 6.22 and Win 3.11 on it, A Voodoo 2 video card and Soundblaster Awe 32 in it, for those fits of nostalgia moments. One of my top bookmarks is to the Abandonia site for old games. It's nice being able to play old DOS games I either couldn't afford at the time, or never heard of. And http://Abandonia.com doesn't distribute games unless they're released by the publisher for redistribution.
I'd like to get me an Apple IIe platinum, and a Mac SE/30 (never had the former, wish I hadn't sold the latter), but prices are just way, way too high right now :(
I hadn't thought of it until you mentioned the specs. Wow. Currently however, I'm typing this out on my now 7 year old Lenovo laptop. While I regularly patch, I don't upgrade the H/W too often. Who wants to be surrounded by all the H/W that stacks up after awhile?
I love the TRS-80 model 100 for it's full stroke keyboard, and slab form-factor. The only downside for me is the slow refresh on the display. If I could find a standard, full stroke keyboard that could fit in that size case, and a VGA-capable display in the dimensions of the original Model 100 display, I would stick either the Pi or the Beaglebone in it, load some flavor of Linux OTHER THAN UBUNTU on it, and be happier than a character in a Geico commercial.
OpenBSD has been pretty adamant that they will not support RBP.
So I have to look at the micro platforms they do support.

But it's still $125 as opposed to $35.
