As an european I think the Brexit is actually beneficial for us in the middle/longterm.

- International companies will move from GB to ireland/continent, germany is in a good position to capture the financial industry (Frankfurt), Berlin already is a great startup hub.

- the brexit is a strong signal for the other EU states to get their shit together and fix obvious problems.

- its in the interest of all EU states to be as hard as possible when negotiating with britain and outright damage them when possible. No politican will say this loud, though, but it will happen. "Out is out". Harsh consequences will make other states think twice before considering an exit, too. thus, stability.

- The british economy will collapse completely, they are by far not that important globally. The pound already goes down dramatically, trade partners have been EU states mostly who will get doctrined from brussels to punish GB. We do not need anything that must be imported from the UK. Short-term EU companies operating on GB will suffer, though. But this will be overshadowed through the international focus on continental europe instead of UK/London after a while.

- the US already said that the UK isn't very important and are not very eager to make deals separately. And we do no longer have to deal with "special care" for british wishes, which often are the cause of endless discussions and bureaucracy.

- Scotland and n.Ireland may "exit" the UK, further minorizing the role of the UK in the world. Might be possible that they join the EU independently.

So all in all, this may be good news for the EU, even when we sacrifice a generation of UK citizens for our benefit. Maybe in a few decades a demolished, isolated england will try to get into the EU again.

Still, it makes me said, since I really enjoyed my stays in London and would prefer a big, strong, united europe.
That was in regards to the immigrants that Merkel tried to push on us.
I read your essay on programming languages. I found it was awesome btw.

I saw you made the comment `o be concrete - object oriented programming is easy in python, because it's possible to program methods of an object in a way that doesn't assume a particular representation.`

I thought you would be really interested in usage of polymorphism in python (http://neverworkintheory.org/2016/06/13/polymorphism-in-pyth...).

Quote from the article:
`Our findings show that the receiver in 97.4% of all call-sites in the average program can be described by a single static type`.

It looks like even when that restriction is removed it doesn't really help that much.

What to Look for When Recruiting a Cloud IT Financial Manager
There is a narrative currently in favor with a particular (very fringe, American) blogger that Africa is experiencing a population explosion that will surge across the Mediterranean and overrun Europe. This ignores the fact that as incomes rise in Africa, population growth plummets (see South Africa as an example of this).
Hey, thanks, I did not know that and I use cygwin a lot. I guess that explains why my comment was voted down.
If you are referring to housing, the main problem was that there was not enough housing being built (last year ~140 000 houses got built, in 1971 ~400 000 got built), not that there were too many people.
If they voted remain, they would have still chosen democraacy...
I used DEC systems, then PC systems. I tried SCO Unix, but it was terrible and abandoned it.

Consider also that the DEC's 1967 TOPS-10 operating system led to RT-11 to CP/M to MS-DOS to NT to Windows 10. I'm not aware of government subsidy having any role in that.
If this is a non-profit organization, does this mean that the resulting software will become open-source?
The delay on devolution was caused by the SNP insisting that it still receive the same or bigger subsidies from the rest of the UK, even though that struck many as unfair (part of independence is paying your own way). It's not like Parliament refused to hand over powers.

The Roman Empire had no cultural identity. People in Gaul had nothing in common with people in Egypt. The most Roman did is spread some Roman values to the elites but even that was often very thin.

Christendom is totally divided with constant wars. The values are not uniform and christen philosophy was never particularly great. Rejection of most of those values defines modernity.
As a non-French member of the EU, I will fully support France in their decision (and hope my nation takes a similar route).

The UK never believed in the EU and only wanted the good side of it. It's better for everyone that they'll be gone. There was no European Union if a selfish state didn't want to be united in the bad things too.

If the EU as a whole decides for a new trade agreement with the UK, that's fine (See? Unity), but I think they won't since the EU has strong motivation to slap back the UK.
> I am optimistic ... The EU has leverage. And the revanche towards UK may unite the continent.

Many don't like the 'heavy hands' of Russia, Turkey, China and then here we have a disappointing, difficult voting result and we (you) talk about revanche?

The correct answer should imho be that EU introspects about what needs to be changed that such an important country as the UK would happily vote to participate.
They could if existing members all agree to it, but it's doubtful England would get anything close to the plethora of exceptions and special provisions that the UK got. Seeing the long history of UK-related pain points, it's a miracle that the EU hadn't kicked them out long ago. If/when they'll come back, they'll do so with a tail in between the legs: all rules will apply, no ifs no buts, no exceptions, and no special treatments.
try http://www.heart-machine.com/ - i heard good things about it (not played it yet, but the trailer/screenshots looks good!).
I think those kinds of plots only make sense when you lay more or less in the middle. A political position is not just how you position yourself in an objective predeterminate political space but also how you define that political space.
Not that England/Britain didn't have their own bloody, violent civil wars along the way to get there. The English were ahead of the curve by just over a hundred years, as far as executing their king and instituting a military dictatorship goes.
It means that we are going the hear to phrase "strong currency headwinds" in all earnings conference calls for the foreseeable future.

> I think this should be a wake up call for those of us who are American.

I'm confused. U.S. politics over the last decade have been dominated by populist pushes on all sides of all aisles: Tea Party, Occupy, Trump, Sanders, even Obama ran on 'change' had minimal 'insider' credentials when he was elected.

> Populist movements that rely heavily on anger, fear, and anti-immigration rhetoric

Substitute 'anti-immigration' with 'anti-someone' and you basically have the case for most reform these days. The reaction to the Orlando shooting has basically been this, right? Anger? Check. Fear? Check? Pick an enemy? You have three or four to choose from: Muslims, gun nuts, homophobes.

I think we need to be more self-reflective and (socially) self-policing than tutting at all the other people out there.
There is a bullet point for the pixel art:

Worse for who? I don't necessarily agree with far right arguments, but as far as I'm concerned nothing indicates that rejecting globalisation will leave us in a worst future.

Globalisation has destroyed the planet along with the capitalism and values it touts as the future. All lies and deceit that contributed to the ever enrichment of the elite while we're left here saying again and again that the working man is stupid for reacting to it.

As said, I don't agree with the rhetoric of the far right, but one thing I have been entirely certain for many years, left or right, it doesn't matter, neither hold the future for us.

Boris Johnson is anything but an idiot - that image of a harmless buffoon is a front.
Yes, it would England and Wales. (Not that I'm fond of that prospect.)
They had no control at all over EU migration, basically. They are not part of the Schengen Area, which means that they have their own visa regime (with respect to non-EU nationals), and they have systematic border controls (passport checks) at their borders (air, train and ferry terminals, since they don't have a Schengen-Area land border). The main content of the Schengen Agreement is the removal of systematic border controls.

The free movement of EU persons (and their families) holds in the whole EEA, independent of the Schengen Agreement. There are also EU rules about where refugees are settled, but the UK already had an opt-out from those.

OOM Killer – How to Create OOM Exclusions in Linux
I love my neighbour more than my neighbour's neighbour. Is that shocking?
Russia has been "sharing" culture with Romania and other eastern countries for decades during USSR. No, we do not have the same culture and we do not share the same values.

Friends you say? Oh, that's rich. Maybe when they give us back our national treasure, along with Basarabia and Northen Bukovina, which they took with the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact and apologize for crushing the national identity of those regions, for starving them to death and for the mass deportations and killings, maybe then we can be friends.

But that will never happen, especially given its leadership. So until hell freezes over, they can go fuck themselves.

I'd propose a different categorization:

- The statists that centralize power, and benefit from it (Bureaucrats and employees of state-dependent or regulated industry like banks, finance, pharmacy, media)

- The people who believe in the state.

- The people who distrust the establishment, banks, politicians

- The anarchists wanting to decentralize

They are all on the same centralization vs decentralization spectrum but the majority has no pronounced opinion and either faith or distrust in the establishment.

The anarchists are not organized and have far less influence, but since 2007/8 people have gradually increased their distrust against the establishment.
Although I do understand a lot of comments about how sad and bad it is for Europe and for growth of this European identity, I am also of the idea that if a country doesn't want to stay, well, don't. I am alright, it means that Europe will have more decision-making power. It was a pain in the ass every once in a while to assist to UK's requests and threatens. We can focus now on how to make a better Europe. And things will move - very slowly, but they will. That's how history is, after all.

Ah, just saying: the amount of refugees / people requesting asylum to UK is way less than in Germany/Hungary/Sweden just to mention some. This was just a populist move/slogan.
Well you sure aren't going to get any richer now. This is going to have an unpleasant impact on the UK economy (not as bad as the gloom and doom of this morning's news, but
bad) and I can assure you that the pain is not going to be felt much at the top end. Get ready for your grocery bill to go up by 20% in the next few weeks and for a massive wave of redundancies.
Not entirely accurate. The UK is technically a political union between England and Scotland, with both having separate legal system, currencies and a few other things.

It is in many ways more one country than two countries but to say Scotland is just a region is extremely inaccurate.
many people only consider it undemocratic when it's working against their point of view. The 48% would not argue against their own point of view with democracy, when it clearly benefits them!
Looks very nice. I'm currently using git2html[1] to provide a Web view of my git repos, but generating all pages up-front doesn't scale very well (I've tweaked it to only process the 10 newest commits on each branch).

Would be nice to have a viewer which calculates HTML on-demand, without requiring any server-side code.
Semantically speaking, in the case of that war Blair was just following America, not leading anybody (his country happened to be attached to him so it followed America too), so because he wasn't actually a leader at all he couldn't have been the best/worst one.
Hong Kong, which speaks English or for English teaching jobs in China.
Yeah, the sad truth is that people mostly forgotten how it was under communist rule and now they are pushing their country into the hands of other authoritarian politicians.
Yeah, I'm referring to Tracking Protection. It's not supposed to be an ad-blocker, but with almost all ads using tracking code, you rarely encounter ads when it's enabled.
It's probably even better for battery life than just an ad-blocker, as a lot of webpages also execute tracking code which isn't bound to ads.

And you could always enable it in normal browsing by setting "privacy.trackingprotection.enabled" in about:config to true...
The UK needs the EU market more than the EU market needs the UK. The EU has strong incentives to place tariffs.

Wait until Berlin replaces London as an economic hub.

Economic war will ensue and we'll all lose.
>I wouldn't assume the UK "doesn't want" people like you there. I think they just want better say over who comes into their country.

Problem is if you want to say buy a house or something permanent like that then its comforting to know you're not at the mercy of same visa regulation. Thats is no gone & I'm also re-evaluating my plans to move to the UK. Sure I'll get a visa easily anyway but still the uncertainty unsettles me.
Sanders says he will vote for Clinton
BoJo was a King's scholar at Eton - meaning he is probably the smartest guy in the room, especially if that room is a Tory party conference room.

Which implies him grabbing the leadership and dismantling the UK is not buffoonery, but deliberate. Scary.
You think that sensationalist view reflects reality for a vast majority of Americans?

I've lived here for decades in 15 different states.

I've been poor. I've been middle class. I've been friends with the "elite".

I've lived in big cities and small towns.

I've never seen a car jacking. I've never seen an armed guard assigned to a gated community.

I've never seen a mugging. I'm not sure I've ever witnessed a crime beyond traffic violations.

I'm sure they exist. But to think they are common from watching YouTube?
It will most definitely be worse.

The phyrric victory possible here is that Brexit leads the way for other exits, sundering the EU resulting in worse economies everywhere.
Unlike Scala, you can't figure out what Python code means correctly and statically — you have little idea what will be called by a function without running the code up to that point, so it's hard to do semantics-preserving refactorings.

But Python changed Strings to use Unicode, and that's something everybody uses and that is insanely hard to refactor automatically even with types.

For Dotty, instead, there are some hard-to-refactor-for changes, but they're in really advanced Scala things, so I expect they'll affect fewer users — mostly the kind of users who can write shapeless-like stuff.
> The basic idea is that there are two axises, not one (social and financial).

Not only this but also the main divide is not left and right but liberal and conservative. In the UK, what I see most often is a divide between socially liberal but fiscally conservative and those that are socially conservative but fiscally liberal.

In my view, it's why early New Labour was successful (socially liberal but fiscally conservative) then lost it by loosening up fiscally and going to war.

Similarly, UKIP has been equally effective in taking support from blue collar workers on both left and right because they push a socially conservative, fiscally liberal agenda.

It's not the whole story. SNP have used national identity well although, interestingly their actual policies are more in keeping with this split than their rhetoric.

The EU referendum debate seems to be almost perfectly along a line between fiscally conservative and socially conservative.

I foresee political parties changing much more this way over the next few years.
Jiffy is not erlang but NIFs that call to C.

>even when we sacrifice a generation of UK citizens for our benefit

Such good news/s
Greece is a great country, but seems to be at this point a welfare state. Whether there had been Brexit or not, it had fallen on hard times. From what I understand, many of its people supported Brexit, because they feel that they have been let down by the EU, although they are not in a good position to leave the EU themselves.

I wish the best for Greece; I think they will be able to overcome their current situation and be better for it in the end. It used to be a place that people longed to vacation in and saw as a gem of Europe. It is still the same country, regardless of their financial situation. Put up tens of thousands of travel posters that say, "Greece, Beauty on a Budget" around Europe, and you could solve that problem in a decade or less, perhaps.
Security by obscurity is not security.

Use fail2ban or similar to ip-block brute force attempts, and minimise public services like MySQL, etc by requiring a vpn/ssh tunnel to connect.

How is this idea of using random ports for "security" still a thing?

Well hey, so much for interest rates rising anytime soon. Probably good for tech funding, but bad for many other things.

But that's the only kind of shamelessly self-interested sort of kind of silver lining I can think of. This is pretty bad IMHO.

I dearly hope not. These questions are too important to decide by the computers at their current level.
I know next to nothing to Britain and London's politics but I can't trust/don't want to have leaders that have to put up buffoon front to get elected or get traction. Because next time you risk getting a real buffoon. Or worse, it won't matter wether politicians are buffoons or not.
Yes, I also think this is a chance to strengthen the rest of the EU.

It may also be a start of countries leaving, but if the rest of the EU comes together and says "hey, we need to double down on this or else what the hell are we even doing" they may do the former.

Which is a good thing imo, but a lot of people don't think so...

The UK imports a lot of stuff from the mainland, they'll probably end up in the economic area (with all the strings attached) but with no say in the EU... maybe don't let the masses vote next time heh
This was also the reason for the voctory of current anti-european and proto-nationalist government in Poland last year.

If Germany had better leadership they could easily have moved passed it and be the most wealthy nation again.

Germany actually was on the road to economic recovery when the Great Depression hit.
I read this post coming from a German, since you promoted Frankfurt and Berlin.

As an Englishman, let me tell you somethings from an opposing view.

- International companies won't be moving to ireland/continent. The UK at one point wasn't as integrated and was doing quite well. It will do again.

The financial industry will not leave London. It's not going to happen. There are many reasons why. Keep dreaming.

London is the best startup in Europe currently.

- Sure the EU can be hard as possible, but then so can the UK. There are many EU countries which export to the UK. It's not just a one way thing.

- The British economy will not collapse. How you can think that I have no idea. Yes the pound did go down, it's gone down many times in history. But it will recover again. The Bank of England, already accounted for this. There is no panic.

- The US said the UK is not that important? Says Obama because his dad is from Kenya hates the UK. But in reality it actually is. Germany, Spain, all other countries of EU are not as important as the UK.

- Scotland will most likely want to exit. They are 4 million people after all. But when they do exit. All the British companies currently there, will leave to go to London. They'll join as another country like Estonia or worse off. I don't know if Europe will have them lol.

- N. Ireland won't exit. They are deeply patriotic people and see themselves as British.

Sorry. But I really don't think you know what you are talking about!
