It is correct. First and foremost, in Italy we dub our movies so well, the dubbing itself could be considered a mastered art.
We really like our dub actors. George Clooney, in Italy, has a very specific voice, for example, and that's the voice of Francesco Pannofino.
That's so bad that when you hear the same actor dubbed by someone else, you feel like something's out of place in the movie.
Italy has a very strong history of good Cinema, we're still quite proud of that.
On top of it all, English in school is definitively not taught enough.
My English, for example, comes from American songs and videogames.

> My team is only 2 people and we don't work together on much of anything. I find this other person difficult to talk to.

This may be a bigger part of the problem than you realise. It's incredible how much working with the right people helps. Consider working for a company that can offer you a slightly bigger team. Then at least you can choose who to have lunch with, or even choose who you get to work with.

I'm a mostly-Python programmer too. One thing I like is that we work on a large-scale long-term product (as opposed to numerous short-term client projects.) If you're doing the same thing over and over for different clients you may get sick of it. (YMMV, I hear some people love starting from scratch every 3 months!)

> I don't know if I'm an A-level programmer that could get a job somewhere else.

Do some interviews and find out? Job markets for programmers who are good at picking things up are still pretty wide, especially if you have the flexibility to move. Especially if you know some slightly-niche technologies you're probably more in demand than you know. Come to NZ and work for us :)
Ask HN: I am in the middle of pregnancy, should I still interview Google?
I am a software engineer at bay area. Google's recruiter contacted me couple months ago for a pretty interesting job position. I passed the phone interview and are preparing for the upcoming onsite. But I am now concerned about how my pregnancy could affect the interview.

Personally I don't think pregnancy can affect my work much: I had a baby during PhD, which I believe was more tough than work. But I made it through with on-time project deliveries and publications.

However, I haven't worked long in industry, so not much sure about the current situation. Should I hide or tell them that I am pregnant? Should I use my PhD experience to show pregnancy won't affect much? Or should I interview at all when pregnant?
It does seem that Mozilla can only be true to their stated values when it is convenient to do so.
> but the reason is completely wrong

Or not. I know people who learned spanish just by watching TV (in Romania). Here in France people have no idea how english sounds because everything is dubbed, from the news on TV to series and movies...
From Italy here, can confirm. It is more than accent tho: has something to do by not being exposed to the full spectrum of sound the humans can produce.

We Italians can't say the th right, because we cannot even _listen_ it right. We can't just process the sound, yet alone reproduce it.

Then we get on internet and we learn written English, but since the rules are inconsistent we mostly are left to make wild guesses as their sounds and English pronunciation is extremely irregular. Most of the complexity comes from having to know if a word radix is or isn't saxon and apply a different set of pronunciation rules, so for example think -ice- which has very different sounds in different words in two groups or this about "A/I/E" https://i.imgur.com/zncINPy.gif

That map is by county, while most inequality in the US is concentrated in the cities; the most important drivers of state-level inequality are thus hidden. It is not a very good map for this purpose.
Brilliant. The idea of being the dumbest person in the room is especially good. Another good way to manifest this is never be afraid to be first to speak up with the dumb question. If you're wondering about something, odds are someone else is, too.

If you're willing/prepared to be the dumbest person in the room, you're probably one of the smartest in the room.
The solution to "cheap windows" is the various Bay Trail devices; so far the best offer I've seen is 7" tablet for £45 which comes with a year's subscription to Office 365 (worth >£50).
I'm not really wowed by any element of the Pi0, the drastic component count and associated feature reduction make both the small size and cost unimpressive.

I hate to play this old tune: bit I can't imagine an application that doesn't push the cost up past the £15.50 of the A+ just to reach feature parity.
they are a credit card issuer ( mastercard brand ). not a bank.
The problem is not people calling the RPi a "computer" (which it absolutely is), the problem is people who think "computer" means "Windows PC."

Hounding Eich out of his job was bad for Mozilla. They lost my support and that of many others who were repelled by the political correctness slant of the organization. Those board members who resigned -- good riddance. The gay employee or employees who said they couldn't work for him -- go work somewhere else. Didn't Obama also say in 2008, before his views "evolved", that marriage = man + woman? Didn't the proposition pass, meaning a majority of California voters agreed with Eich and Obama?

Partisan politics and social justice causes have no place in a technology organization. Obviously that doesn't mean, injustice is OK. But freedom of speech and freedom to hold one's own views on a subject without fear of being fired or pressured to quit should be held sacred. Bye, Mozilla.

oh brother. Let's wake up here. There is a surplus of "savings" in the world because since the crisis 3.5 trillion of debt-soaking cash has been printed at off-market prices by the fed, 1.5 trillion is currently being printed by the ECB, and 3+ trillion will be printed by the BoJ.

I found the community around Squeak (http://www.squeak.org/) to be extremely pleasant and supportive some years ago. I suspect the offshoot community around Pharo is similar.
One interesting thing to me I the comments to the original article was the mentioning of the weird "have got" instead of just "have" you learn in European schools. I hadn't thought about it since I started learning English I school in Germany many, many years ago. I think even the teachers dropped that in later classes. But I remember always having to say stuff like "I have got an apple" instead of just "I have an apple". I live in the US now and have never heard that and also don't recall ever having heard that in the UK either. What's up with that? Sounded like BS even to my fifth grade self who knew nothing about English.
P vs. NP: An Assumption That Runs the Internet
The use of logic as a representation language for representing interactive games was pioneered by Richard Evans (AI lead on The Sims 3) over the years, and used in various of his games. The latest installment is [1], and the logic used is a peculiar modal logic whose key innovation is a lack of negation. Crazy!

I wonder what the relationship is between linear logic and the logic of [2].

Very interesting. Still far from solar-powered territory for outdoor projects, for example. Unless there were a way to wake the pi very easily. However, the raspberry pi includes no power management whatsoever; it's either off or on[1]. Why not? Does the chip not support it?

--> Note that the article specifically calls out disabling USB, disabling ethernet (not relevant here), and disabling video output if not using it. I wonder if the author could try disabling HDMI to see if power is reduced....

This can be mitigated if there were a way to boot quickly on demand. See this writeup on sleepypi, an expansion-board that does just that:[2] So it should be possible to wake on demand by powering up and going through a boot cycle. Since the hardware is SO very fixed (not going to change short of ripping parts of the board off) I wonder why the boot time couldn't be further reduced...what really takes 10 seconds, during which the SD card could have read 200 MB or so? It's nearly enough time to wake from hibernation, were that supported. (SD card bus speed is limited to reading 20 MB/second or so). I'm sure it could be improved.

This other write-up mentions using the previous generation for up to 24 hours for remote-location time-lapse photos [3] - also contains an interesting idea about underclocking. Not sure if this suggestion is relevant, possible, or works.

They could also tune up the rate if they turned the site into a pay-for-view site. What's your point again?
Here from US. Element 14 charged shipping + tax = $6.55 + $3.69, total almost $46 for model B. I ordered B+ from MCM (which I believe is also under the same parent company as Element 14) and came at $9.99 shipping without tax.

Does CHIP order charge tax?

I don't think the elephant in the room is just the shipping cost, the overall cost of getting this tiny computer up and running is beyond just some tax and shipping cost. You have to get an SD card, power adapter and an HDMI. Tons of people still run DVI or VGA. If you have a monitor without HDMI you are fucked so you have to buy a converter. I didn't have these so I got them off Amazon and the final cost probably came at about $100? I didn't even get the case, because I made one out of cardboard.

If you have more than one Pi, you need another SD card, another charger, another HDMI cable, so again you are back to full price. There should really be just a way to connect all PIs to a single USB-powered portable drive. SD card is such as poor choice and a poor design decision choice. Sorry.

PI is great for small project, but if there weren't fund for schools to buy all the accessories, I don't know if Pi would take off at $35 price range. It is never $35. Let alone in Zero's case, agree, definitely not at $5.

Fair enough, marketing stun and it may be true that the computer itself is $5, but the fineprint "you have to get the rest yourself at another $30+" is assumed to be common sense.

Oh not to mention the cost of waiting to get one of these tiny computers.
Using 'relaxed' (or acquire/release) for performance without some vague understanding of the semantic implications (of relaxed especially, and the memory model more generally) is a recipe for disaster and some confusing bugs.
Getting involved with open source should likely not be done of how a community is, but rather because you love the product itself, and want to make it better. If the community is nice, that's a huge plus, but in my opinion it should not really be a deciding factor unless the community is outright hostile.

Just try to ask in general, see applications you use frequently: Desktop, web, and browser based. Programming languages, and websites you find yourself in frequently. See if any of those are open source, and then send the author(s) an email, ask if they accept contributions.

Do make sure to ask, I've had cases where I asked an author if they accepted PRs in general, and the response was "I'm sorry no, I would much rather maintain full control over the codebase", which is perfectly fine, in general, find something you are passionate about, and then try to help.

I would really advise against starting open source contributions just for the sake of contributing to open source.

When you go into a project the existing contributors will likely have to spend time, and effort grooming you into someone who can properly navigate the code base, in my experience people who join a project just for the sake of joining something, or because they want to have "Contribute to Open software in my free time" in their resume tend to drop out pretty frequently, and it's just painful for all parties involved.
Not a lawyer, but I believe lying to a federal official is only a criminal offense when it is done to cover up a crime. I still don't advise lying to a TSA agent and would suggest that anyone traveling without an ID actually be traveling without an ID. Obviously there are some risks of delay in doing this so I'm sure it's something which will never be common.
I hear you. I like the idea of "deploying" a pre-built image. Capistrano "just-in-time" deployments (particularly deployment time "bundle") seem a little non-deterministic. Docker is certainly non-trivial though, but I think (I hope), it's a net win. Time will show.

In my mind, it certainly parallels the binary package (debian) vs build-on-demand package (arch? OS X brew) approach. Both seem to work, but I certainly prefer the debs.

I'd really like to find a USB battery pack for one of these which can be used to make the device portable. I know there are loads, but they usually have one or more of the following problems:

1.) Can't power the PI at the same time as being charged

2.) PI consumes power faster than the battery can charge up

3.) Neither of the above two problems, but when you plug the battery into the mains it momentarily disrupts the PI causing it to reboot.

Anyone know of a battery which will last with one of these for the best part of a day or more and which I can just plug into the mains when I'm near a socket to keep it topped up?

I think the SocketCluster community meets this description (I'm the main author). Especially on the kind/supportive side. It's relatively small (about 60 people in our chat group), we are not supported by VC funding of any kind so everyone is just doing it for fun (and to please the community). Based on the experience I've had using Gitter (chat) to get assistance on other projects, I'd say our helping/chat culture is among the best.

Also if you have a truly good idea, it will be heard and implemented.

This is really the correct answer: Why do you want to participate in an open-source project in the first place?

If it's to gain brownie points for your CV, it's quite likely that you'll get nowhere, because that's a motivation right along with "earn money".

The difference to just getting a random software development job for earning money is that at the random job, you will be in a team where tasks will naturally flow towards you. In a random open source project, this will not be the case. So most people will not stick with it unless they have a better motivation for contributing to the project in the first place.

So try to find a project that you find interesting first. You should actually be able to find many of those if you're into software development, and then take a look at the communities yourself.

> I wasn't able to differentiate between Scottish and Australian, only between American English and non-American English

I've spent quite a bit of time in New Zealand, and a common complaint I've heard is that when they travel to the U.S., people often ask if they are from Australia. When I first rocked up to NZ I couldn't tell the difference either, but now the two accents are like night and day. Beyond that, every country has its own regional accents as well.

And to be fair, I reckon a good number of Americans who haven't traveled can hardly differentiate accents beyond American English vs non-American English too.
I am not sure but I doubt that most people would be able to find a job where you get to work with the most amazing people with skills you do not possess (or are not good at). I can certainly see how you can be the quietest but how does one get hired at a place where you know less then what they already do or are much better?

It shouldn't be totally dismissed, but GlassDoor suffers from the same disease of all review systems: a pissed off engineer is far more likely to write a negative review to warn others and/or stick it to their former employer than a happy one would think to go and write a positive review.

(For a sample size of one: I'm happy at my current employer and couldn't possibly be bothered to go put a rating for them on glassdoor. Moreover I find sites like that are often more in the parasitic class of the internet anyways, so not sure I want to donate my time and information to help them prosper in the first place.)

You're slightly better off than with a random internet poll in that the pollee is at least claiming to have first hand information on the subject they're answering questions about, but it's still hopelessly biased and you shouldn't even try to reason about trends or comparisons from that data. Better to take individual statements from the testimonies on there (with a huge grain of salt) and leave it at that.
A kind-of-rule based in personal observations, is that spanish people closer to the sea talk FASTER than the rest.

We have somebody in the family that is know as:

"Blah ahk guak fiuya sdsds caramañola ñame!". And " caramañola ñame" is the only thing you will understand 100% of him ;) -- the other text is not a perfect rendition. In fact, nobody agree how exactly him talk when left him at full speed!

How fast is the talking is not the only issue. Is the slang. We can have the same language... but, o boy! the slang is diverse even in the same country.

And some words have reverse meanings, or don't make much sense.

For example:

"Esta haciendo sereno"

"Is doing serene (???)"

If use this dictionary, you could get it wrong:

http://www.spanishcentral.com/translate/sereno

Instead, despite the fact "sereno" is exactly "serene", this in colombia mean "colder wheater".

Is so funny when we teach the slang to outsider. Is crazy fun for them ;)

It reads " the final cost probably came at about $100", which means including model B+, shipping cost and everything.
Anecdotally: my kid that grew up in the US in a spanish speaking home speaks fluent english. The other one that moved to the US at 4 speaks english with an accent.

No one speaks english at home, same people at home - only difference is the language on the TV. It works.
I think the degree of fault tolerance depends on the age of the reader. My first computers used discrete transistors. My high school English teacher was a strict grammarian. I paid close attention because I was dating her daughter, also a strict grammarian. To this day the misuse of "to" for "too" will bring my brain to a full stop. I am moderately adapted to the confusion of "fewer" vs "less". (It's countable vs uncountable.) And I even use "they" as a gender neutral third person singular, but you should never do it in formal writing.

I read an article sometime in the past year that maintained that all the prissy rules were imposed on a perfectly good language by self-imposed arbiters of the language. Sorry, I cant locate it at the moment.
