Native Swede here, I agree. Sweden is quite easy to get into if you are on the shortage occupation list, which you are.

Once in Sweden you will either fall in love with the on the surface reserved people, or if you don't, work 5 years, apply for citizenship, then be a Swedish citizen (best passport in the world for traveling along with U.K. passport) and automatically a E.U. citizen, which means you can work anywhere in the E.U. without any limits at all. As a E.U. citizen and especially Swedish citizen it can be easier to get into the U.S. and Canada, I hear anecdotally. There are also sizable communities of almost all war affected ethnicities in Sweden you can socialize with. Stockholm is the most international city, you can live there a life time on English alone and not feel left out too much. Everywhere also you can still live on English alone, but the social life with locals will suffer if you don't learn Swedish, IMHO. All Swedes know English, but you will miss out on little chats etc. Also minorities often communicate more in Swedish than their native tongue, especially children of immigrants, so paradoxically to connect with your own kin, you also need to learn Swedish. Integration issues varies from place to place, there are some problems with racism especially towards people of color, but far from as much as in Germany. Also the racism is kind of specific and weird, if you are black but from the U.S. you are still almost celebrated by the Swedish locals.

TL/DR: Sweden is awesome. Easy to come in, if you love it, you will love it a lot. If you don't, become citizen then move on to the rest of the E.U.
This is pretty much the case. Years of evangelising the idea that (a) everybody should be on Amazon and (b) everybody should be on the cheapest regions of Amazon mean that while the underlying datacentres are probably much better managed, individually speaking, than the tapestry of colos that made up the world a decade ago, an outage has much more wide-ranging effects than you'd get at that point.

Didn't Germany just reach 12 millions of poor people ? http://www.euronews.com/2015/02/20/highest-number-of-germans...

A smaller population size doesn't make it easier to reach a political consensus. I am from Belgium and we hold a world record in that category: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet/wp/2013/10/... 589 days at the time, I don't know if another country has done better since then.
You are talking about a crime. You don't get to make presumptions to show guilt.
I never meant to suggest that.. I'm only stating that there's a lot more to it than calories alone. Though, in general if you are having enough protein in your diet (either via combined, or combinations of foods), and your macros are reasonable, most people will maintain or adjust their weight accordingly when you raise/reduce the overall calories.

Unfortunately calorie restriction that goes too far may have other negative affects... and most people don't track their diets closely enough to really tell how many calories they take in on any given day. I've gotten really good at estimating, and as long as I stay below 2500-3000/day and get at least 100g of protein, I tend to do okay as far as staying in the range I am in.

On the down side, when I try to make too much of a shift it winds up badly in one way or another (experiencing ketoacidosis is something I never want to experience again). Eating once a day a couple days a week (roughly 23.5 hrs between meals) I feel pretty good with. Eating too close to bed and I get an upset stomach. It's funny, but my own body has been a pretty big experiment in terms of trying different things to see what works, and what doesn't.

I tend to either have every negative affect to medications, or my body stops responding to them after a while. Byetta lasted about 6 months before my body stopped responding to it, Victoza about 2. Invokana is the first diabetes medication that doesn't make me incredibly ill, and actually keeps my blood sugars stable (though I've been a little more sensitive to light, and more headaches).

I truly wish I could go back a couple decades knowing what I do now. I also wish I could smack whoever started the "low fat" fad in the 70-80s, or the people behind the food pyramid.

It's not that hard, really...

* Get enough protein
* don't eat too much
* avoid too many refined foods/ingredients
* Have some raw fruits and veggies
* Avoid too many sweet fruits and candy

Unfortunately we are genetically motivated by sweet, salty, savory foods and a lot of them. We also don't have to work as hard to get food. So, we fall into our own nature, or fight against it. Commercial interests are to maximize sales, scale, impact and that means feeding the problem. Taken farther is introducing more refinement in sweetness and saltiness of foods. Which feeds the problem more.

I don't know what the solution is, I do no that limiting personal freedom and choice isn't a good answer. Improving education and reducing religious-like or commercial interests as such would be a good start though.

Easiest one is Sweden among western wealthy countries! I don't have university degree and I didn't have big salary. They gave me a work permit in one week!

In short, you only have to get job offer to relocate to Sweden.

They didn't even check my employment history.
It's up, but launching new instances doesn't work due to the S3 issue.
No where near as good imo.
my service looks pretty red now
My understanding is that you can't transfer an H1B. The new employer has to re-apply. You can however go through the process while remaining in the US.

My experience (as an employer) is that it's become much harder over the last year or so to get the re-application through. At the very least they tend to have substantial delays. I'm not aware of the underlying reason.
Sourcerepo.com outage?
I've been using this subversion commercial service but this morning I cannot access the site anymore ( cannot find DNS anymore ). Any idea how to check if the service is still up ? available ?
Do they require relevant work experience in Sweden? Also, do they have the visa attached to the employer like h1b?
Thanks. I was mostly interesting in seeing a source for maaku's statement of "Now ask yourself how decisions are made regarding new infrastructure deployments", as it seemed pretty condescending to me.
The EC2 launch thing is still green even though all launches fail for us.

Germany also has single-payer socialized healthcare IIRC. The US has Medicare/Medicaid/Obamacare which isn't so great, and often doesn't include dental or vision care. For a long-term living situation, that's probably more important.

Also, the US immigration and refugee systems are arbitrary, byzantine, gotcha minefields that can suck would-be visitors into indeterminate imprisonment or expelled for minor paperwork errors or unintentionally breaking one of a billion unclear rules.

> In my experience, running JVM in production with tools like JProfiler/VisualVM/jconsole, etc. does not come close to the BEAM when trying to understand what is happening in the system.

If I cross into gang territory I might get shot. It's their turf and perhaps I should research the area to stay safe. That is my personal responsibility to stay safe. But that in no way would take any blame away from the gang members shooting me.
In the same way these tourists are at fault, but perhaps there are lessons for US border security too?
I'm sure tourist dollars are worth something to the US economy. It might be worth nurturing the tourist experience, to coax more people into the US.
There was a single mention of Paint.NET in the article with no other comment. Is that the company involved in this? It was not clear to me nor do I recognize the name of the author.

There are two technical holes in how this was achieved, disregarding the initial drive-by update install:

* Unprotected browser cookie storage

* Android web-based App Install requires no user interaction past a request to a web endpoint

Are these holes still open?
What was your "source" country though? I'd imagine it would depend on that a lot.
NZ has three official language Ebglish is not one of them.

That picture is one of the two most famous aviation pictures. The other one, of course, is the 1903 first flight.
I don't think I was clear, sorry. I meant I rarely use it on remote servers, I rarely have the need for that process.

I only have a need to do dev locally and was using tmux on my local machine. I know several other devs who only use tmux in this fashion.

I know many people use it when they are on a remote machine via ssh - what are the usual activities that require someone to be ssh'ed in doing complex tasks directly on a remote machine?
Development and tech jobs are not so easy to come by in Germany without B2 or better working knowledge of the language. You can come to Germany on a language visa, but you have to prove you have enough savings to live off of while you learn (and you can't work while you're on a language visa).

Work visas are generally only issued if you already have an offer. Which is hard to get unless you're in the country...

I've looked at NZ a bit as some friends live there -- it seems they've made it super, super easy to immigrate if you're in IT and can find a job in (4, 6?) months.
I agree but I want to bat for Sweden too. Wages are lower, but you don't have to pay for health insurance at all, all medical care is free and high quality. Also, Switzerland is not a member of the E.U.
But Switzerland is great, I hear from relatives living there.

Meh, I'm not sure it's worth continuing the debate over, honestly. But yes, I've watched the clip before, and have now watched it again. While he does give an answer at around 5:30, it's a pretty small part of the response. Imo, there are many possible ways to explain why a magnetic force is felt to a lay-audience, even touching on more advanced aspects like magnetism as a relativistic by-product of moving charges or dipole moments created by orbiting electrons. It's not like he didn't also write entire books for lay-audiences, the same as so many other physicists from Einstein to Tegmark have. I'd really rather not get into a huge conflict about the tactfulness of his answer, though. Cool, he decided to explain the infinite regress. Oh, some people found his tone or approach patronizing, and thought he could have taken the time to go into more detail about magnets instead. Difference of opinion.

Also, at the risk of being controversial: the clip is less valuable if you already know more about magnetism than he explains in the video, and if you're already familiar with the regressive argument. I like Feynman, have read several of his books and am planning on reading the Gleick biography when I can get around to it, but a lot of the love for this seems to come as much from that it's him saying it as much as what is actually said. On the other hand, perhaps I'm just biased because I see these clips getting reposted somewhere or another every so often, and it loses its magic eventually.

In Feynman's defense, the BBC audience the show was created for was probably less sophisticated than the 2015 HN audience, and since it has become such a popular clip, he clearly did something right. :)
I would like to add, sometimes mathematicians bring up random variables/constants without explicitly naming or explaining them before. This is very upsetting for someone with a lower level, trying to understand what's going on.
Is there a version of mathematics, somewhere, that don't give you the impression of being snarked upon by an old dude twirling his mustache?

I think that people are downvoting you because they're not sure what you're getting at or have an issue with tone, as I think I know what you are referring to here:

The Japanese blacksmiths' method of repeatedly heating and folding the steel was actually a way of countering the poor quality of the raw material they had, according to some other sources I've read but cannot find right now.

I assume that you didn't include this information because you know a lot about the topic and thought it was all common knowledge, but I'm not sure that it is.
Yeah fair call. But if we were to think about this in terms of user experience, I think there would be a different tone. If you're web form turns customers away, you work your butt off to change things. But for some reason if your border security outrages writers, to the point that they write articles like that one, people say tough luck you should have researched the rules.

How about if you apply for the two visas and it's such a big problem you warn people during the application process. This would be like have a form the blanks all the fields on submit and only tells you the required fields after you have failed to fill them in.
Both are true. My experience (primarily from UAE and Qatar) is that, if you have skills that are in short supply then you can get excellent, tax-free salaries with fantastic benefits.

If you're there for manual/low skilled work then the pay and conditions (relative to, say, Europe) can be appalling.
No, a barrel roll is different to an aileron roll. The wikipedia article linked to shows the difference.

A barrel roll requires heading and altitude changes, an aileron roll should not.

Is it unreasonable to expect the ability to barrel-roll from any motorised plane (i.e. not a glider)?
It would not be Paint.NET itself - lots of Windows freeware apps are approached by advertising companies. The advertising company pays the freeware company a lot of money to add a checkbox during install. It's this kind of checkbox that the author is talking about. They probably gave Paint.NET (and Java, winzip, winrar, etc etc) a ton of money to put that there.
Exercising takes a really long time.

Is it possible you're doing it wrong, or maybe we have different understanding of what "really long time" is?

I exercise 4 times per week, and my workout lasts 40-60 minutes including shower and clothes change. This includes pre-workout stretching, strength training and some static / balance exercises.

I try to use my time as effective as possible, so I'm almost never idle. I superset my exercises, i.e. do a rowing exercise, immediately followed by a pressing exercise. But some rest is still required, so I do a stretch or a balance exercise, i.e. working on handstands while resting.

This lets me include 6-8 exercises for 2-4 sets each in about 30-40 minutes.

Now you may say 4 hours per week is still too much. If I was seriously pressed on time, I would reorganise my training to only exercise each body part at most 1 time per week, thus combining 4 workouts into 3 shorter or even 2 longer ones, bringing the time down to 2.5-3 hours per week. I may stop exercising smallest muscles, such as biceps, directly.

Anyway, following my schedule I consider myself in a very good shape for 41, I'm 178cm/74kg, around 10-12% bodyfat if not less, can bench about 1.3 times my bodyweight, squat over 1.5 and deadlift over 2 times bodyweight.
Maybe you haven't found the right exercise? I'd rather stick needles under my fingernails than go for a jog, but happily spend 90 mins+ 4 times a week strength training.

Or maybe a sport might be more fun? Tennis, ulimate frisbee etc.
It implies nothing of the sort, just points out that many parties critical of California's handling of the drought are also enjoying the benefits of that mishandling.
Yeah it's was confusing, an aileron roll wouldn't allow for this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMWxuKcD6vE (posted above). Unless you rotate faster than gravity pulling the water down.
It's two hours. Luckily it happenned around 12:00AM otherwise we are having a bad day.

I recommend getting your ROMs from Cloanto's Amiga Forever.

Cloanto is one of the oldest Amiga companies; for many years, Michael Battilana has been the Amiga's most energetic curator. He's met the luminaries, collected histories, and presented them in a classy, polished package.
Actually on some parts of the world it's not 12:00AM you know, and there are sysadmins/devops there too :-)
Very funny.
Hihi
I, personally, would love to hear more about the hundreds of lower tier accelerators, and insight as to why they're doing so terribly. In many of the cases I've seen, the people running the accelerators just lay 100% of the blame on the entrepreneurs.

It's really sad, tens of thousands of founders wasting years of their career on the low-tier net-value-negative accelerators.

How bad could they be? Far worse than you'd imagine, as I've personally seen.
Zirtual may have just abruptly shut down
Slack message from my ZA 10 min ago:

I'm up late tonight and received an email to my personal email from Zirtual that for financial reasons, they cannot continue as a company effective immediately. I would still like to help you in any way I can! I no longer have access to my Zirtual accounts, including the secure system where I had saved your passwords, but I'm glad I can still access this Slack! I can still access your calendar, too. I would be happy to discuss how to continue our assistant-client relationship if you would like. I'm also sending you an email from my personal email [redacted]. This would be a difficult transition, but once I have access to everything like [redacted] again, we can just continue as we had been before

They don't check your employment background. But in Work Permit application form you write your experience.

I think you can get work permit in Sweden without relevant work experience. But I think there is some risk for refusal.

You will be attached to your employer only for the first two years.

Basically (from the page above) for a tech job:

* Valid Passport

* Job offer BEFORE traveling with average level salary

Edit: if you can get a job offer, that's much better than the asylum process. Waiting time for asylum decision is like 1 - 2 years and you are not allowed to work during that time. You may get in, especially if you face persecution in your country of origin, but your soul will be crushed in the asylum process. :-/
haha if two hours is nothing to you, that's pretty lucky. We work 24x7 (global customers, yes US is a bit busier but not by a lot) and we're an Australian company, so not a whole lot of fun.
Why it is behaving like this each other day?
The point is that there is one ordering in which every subset of real numbers has a minimum.

For the rational numbers, this is not difficult, since we can enumerate the rational numbers. As the ordering we could then pick "a <= b" if the index of "a" in the enumeration is less than the index of "b". The least element of any set of rational numbers is then the rational number with the least index in that set.

However, the real numbers are uncountable. Tricks like this cannot work.

The real culprit is the axiom of excluded middle, which confounds the notions of existence and embodiment. Under classical logic it may be proven that P = NP, even though no algorithm actually exists. This already happened for certain graph problems... (=> Graph minor theorem, moving from minor-closed graph property to finite set of excluded minors is essentially non-constructive.)

Without excluded middle, the axiom of choice is exactly as trivial as it sounds: Given a non-empty set, give me an element in that set. In order to show that a set is non-empty you need to give enough information to construct an element in that set. So the proof contains the information to validate the "axiom".

With excluded middle, the proof that a set is non-empty doesn't contain enough information to pick an element from that set. So adding both excluded middle and choice takes you into an axiomatic system whose connection with the real world is rather tenuous.

----

The article is spot on: Not only is mathematics a designed system, but the analogy between programming languages and logic is perfect in view of the Curry-Howard correspondence. Elevating Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory is like insisting that your software project has to be built using Turing machines. After all, everything else is just encoding. There is a huge design space in logics as well as in programming languages. For instance, you can do physics in the setting of synthetic differential geometry and work without preconditions and use theorems which are literally impossible in ZFC.

A soundness proof for a new logic is, by the way, the logical equivalent of building a compiler. :)
