I'm sure we've all had this kind of conversation:
Student: Mr. Choirbean, my code is crashing.
Teacher: Okay, what error is it giving you when you crash?
Student: Error message? Was there one of those? I don't know what it said.
Teacher: (sighs) Okay, there's always an error message. Let's ...
I created a fresh VM using a recently downloaded iso from Ubuntu. Version 16.04.1 and I am trying to install taskel so I can put LAMP on here.
When I run this command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade
sudo apt-get -y install tasksel && sudo tasksel
I get the following error...

A little, but I use Python a lot more (and occasionally JS)
Although my experience with JS is mainly wasting time configuring stuff and not getting anywhere
I certainly wouldn't ever recommend trying to teach in the Node/JavaScript ecosystem; there are too many different frameworks which all do the same thing, but most don't work well together without a lot of effort.
E.g. "Hmm, let's add React". Then "How about Babel too to get ES6 support". Then "Webpack is better, let's switch to that". And "Server-side rendering is cooler, you need to be doing that"
Yeah, that's why I love it. Literally anything is possible except 2 things: Finding out where a file was required to and unbinding a method/block/proc from a scope/context.
I recommend Node.js (haven't tried, will start learning is by myself ) or java. But it actually depends on whatever you want to program (what type of application)
I've been involved with matheducators.stackexchange.com and a little bit with expatriates.stackexchange.com. I've noticed that both had very high activity during private beta and then about half as much activity during public beta (which makes sense, because people are trying to get the site goin...
Well, it's more a fact that they don't stick around after day 1 of private beta, so you're only left with a small fraction of the users who actually committed
On IoT, 238 users committed. 10 have fulfilled their commitment
And it's been nearly 6 months since launch for IoT
@thesecretmaster Well, I wouldn't say lying. It's just that most people either: don't turn up; don't contribute as much as the commitment requires or forget that they ever did commit, I guess
About 30% of users who committed on IoT didn't even join the site
And the figure is even more dire for Computer Science Educators: "43.8% signed up for beta"
Looking at the Area 51 stats, roughly 60-70% of committed users join by the end of private beta
And about 10% fulfilling commitment seems normal
So you can see how the numbers work out badly... 200 committed > 140 join the site > 10–20 fulfil commitment
You have to either ask/answer a certain number of questions
Can't remember how many
Found the text:
> I commit to participate actively in [topic] for at least three months, especially during the private beta, and to ask or answer at least ten questions.
Anyway, on the positive side: as long as the site exits private beta, it's pretty much guaranteed to be open forever
So if the private beta remains active enough, it should be fine
There is so much less to do on a beta than there is on SO. I'm used to review queues always having at least 50 questions, a new question every couple minutes, etc.
@Aurora0001 I just actually looked at the area51 page, and the 41% is 41% of followers signed up for beta. It also says "222 users" and "242 committed," which sounds optimistic.
I believe that they're aren't that many people out there who are interested in a site that is only for Computer Science Educators. Personally, I'm a Java student, and my interest rate in this site is dropping exponentially. I think the site should be more open and broad so that more users will be...
I mean, it's a valid question, but it's just strange that such a question even is asked. That's like asking why stack overflow is so anti-chef, whenever a cooking question is posted it's closed.
