I can think of a couple routes to this:

* find various organizations devoted to this. Even the small town I live in has a "design society", a python users group, a generic "coder group" and so on. Often groups like this have hack times - just get together, work on your own stuff, but have other people with different skillsets there too to help, co-learn or whatever!

* Find local hackathons - these are a bit more intense but many of them are not primarily contests etc, but just a short-term version of the above

* Find your local (hacker|maker)space.

* Put out an ad in the Craigslist gigs (computer).

If these resources don't exist for you, consider starting them!

Story-time: I was perusing the local Craigslist and came across a person who had put up a tutoring gig - she wanted someone to teach her flask in a structured way. I replied that I'd be willing to share my experience and co-learn, but not really structured and because of my obligations and conflicts of interest I couldn't take payment. Instead I suggested we do the co-learing and experience sharing as a Python Users Group. The one that previously existed in our town had been defunct for several years at that point, and I wanted to see it happen so people didn't need to offer money for learning resources. Long story short - that pug has been around for 5 years now and is still going strong. I'm only involved as an attendee once a month or so, and the other person who founded it coordinates the hack sessions, but new folks have stepped up and filled in the rest of the roles!

Good luck with your adventure - if you have to go the "start a thing" route: warning it's a lot of work, but rewarding. If that happens and you could use advice/experience feel free to reach out:

> We're not talking about great jobs either, it's most jobs that don't require university education. A lot of that is stuff you could be trained for on-the-job in six months or less.

Have you actually learned a real craft, in germany, or looked at it's curriculum? Because they learn a lot more than could be thought in 6 weeks. You could argue that they won't need it for the things their employer needs them to do when they work, but they learn it anyway. If they switch jobs later they won't need that much training.

Example: If you learn as an Electrician for Energy and Houses at a big construction company, the only thing you might do is chopping cable canals and maybe wiring wall sockets. Both could be learned in 6 Weeks, no question.

But at the Berufsschule you still learn all the other stuff, for an example how to wire electrical Garage doors. If you later decide to switch Jobs, you'll be prepared.

> Also, don't buy into the German educational model, it's one of the most discriminatory systems in the world, even though it is "free" on paper, it's all about weeding out people at a young age so they're not allowed to attend the "free" university.

One of Mutt's best uses cases in my opinion is for rapid processing of lots of email.

Every now and then I'll go on a spree to zero out my inbox, and I find doing this with mutt's search/tag/move/delete workflow is a lot faster than messing around with my mail provider's application (Fastmail's, which is awesome, and Gmail's, which is less so) or any other client I'm aware of.

Thats a genius idea for making sure none of the elements goes our of viewport width. I always had this issue that a div has standard border padding, and width:100% pushes its right to out of viewport. Can't wait to try this.

Just few genuine questions, as I am learning, specifically in making static fixed header bars for few of my fun projects.

Does the meta tag in ur comment needs closure(>), or is it something I might have never come across?

Does implying a max-width 100 in percentage means every element gets max 100% of "its" parent element, which can be traced down back to HTML as super parent of all tags, and thus if I could use "vw" viewport width as units instead of %?

There actually is a lot of legal-industry-specific technology out there that most people have never heard of. It works well enough for what most lawyers and firms want, but it seems to have hit a local maxima for one major reason: nearly all the software and tools are written around Microsoft Word and the Office suite.

Anyone wanting to disrupt the legal industry (in the US) is going to have to deal with MS Word in one way or another. There are hundreds of thousands of attorneys who have worked with nothing but Word and Word-related tools for decades, so someone entering the space will likely need to build project management, collaboration, and communication systems around the Word ecosystem. That or build a product so compelling and easy to migrate to that people are willing to walk away from Word.

> $70 is nothing compared with the performance that you get.

Maybe on a slow pc, but with Atom on my macbook pro I have no performance issues at all period. I code 8+ hours a day (for many years), and no my fan is not spinning all the time because of Atom. I have 16Gb ram, have multiple apps open at the same time, Chrome with 30+ tabs, listen music via youtube, etc..

I was a long time Sublime user, but the $70 they're asking is really way too much with so many great open source alternatives today. Would they at least divide the $70 to all the package writers that actually make Sublime a great editor I might be willing to spend it, but unfortunately they want all the money for themselves..

Switched to Atom a while ago, I gained (some really great) features and finally got rid of the trial pop-up.

When I was using mutt, one of the biggest things that I found missing was a way to apply a filter to the entire email without creating some sort of SMTP gateway. I wanted the ability to compose my emails in Markdown, and run the text/plain version through a filter to generate a text/html version. At the time (though I'm sure this hasn't changed), you could only run various parts of the email (e.g. only the text/plain part) through filters, but not the whole email.

The lab I work in publishes, and has continues to extend, the studyforrest dataset for quite a few years now.

http://studyforrest.org

Most of the consumers so far have been neuroscience researchers and statisticians, but we do hope (and think) that there's value for a wide variety of interests.

There's a bunch of different data, but the highlights are fMRI scans of people watching and/or listening to the movie Forrest Gump, eye tracking, and detailed annotations of the movie. We are also about to begin acquiring simultaneous EEG and fMRI.

http://studyforrest.org/data.html

Accessing the data is easy, and, as great admirers of Joey Hess, we also have it available in a git annex repo. :-)

You're right that most services do send a multipart message with a sane looking plain text version.

The biggest issue with that is when the sender of the email doesn't actually check that the content was converted properly. Most notably, hyperlinks in the HTML get converted to the text of the link and the URL in question is no where to be found.

Even if most HTML emails send perfectly created plaintext versions (and yes, Amazon is great at this), you'll remember the crappy unreadable HTML-only emails far more than the normal looking multipart ones with proper conversion of the HTML to plaintext.

My first job in high school involved formatting and sending out email blasts. Even at that point, I was aware of potential formatting issues and I took care to make sure that the automatically​ generated plaintext version had all the same content. For that reason, I have no patience for HTML-only emails crafted by grown adults.

While I'm not a fan of the project, I do think that comparison isn't fair. XP and outdated browsers give you a much higher chance of malware, because MS isn't really putting out XP security patches and browsers release security patches in newer versions, hoping everyone will upgrade to them.

Meanwhile, this project is essentially 16 lines of JS. Even the README takes up more space. Reading through the lines of JS, I don't see how they will make you vulnerable at all.
I probably know more than you, or at least I have better reading comprehension:

"By contrast, countries like Germany pursue a “dual educational” model that blends classroom education with on-the-job training through apprenticeships, equipping young people not bound for university with practical labor-market skills. From the beginning of the journey from school to work, dual-system participants establish close relationships with employers. Companies sign contracts with young people (typically around age 15 or 16) and provide them an hourly wage just below that of an entry-level worker. On-the-job training typically comprises two-thirds of the curriculum in the dual system."

This is clearly referring to "Duale Ausbildung", not "Duales Studium". The vast majority of people that study at university ("Studium") never do "Duales Studium", that's more of a novelty.
Sounds like he's demonstrating what being 'consciously capitalist' gets you: bought out, and your lifework cannibalized to please bottom-line hungry investors. Also known as 'you can't have nice things'.

So basically, leave out the 'conscious' as it is disposable. Good to know.
I'm not sure if you can call this capitalistic, though. WF as a commune could likely share many of the benefits or exceed them even without requiring shareholders to satisfy. Instead, a devotion to profits will ensure they are given the minimum to execute their job well.

> the types required to apply the function are statically analyzed from the format string.

Not so, in that Haskell package:

Prelude Text.Printf> printf "%d\n" 1
1
Prelude Text.Printf> printf "%d\n"
*** Exception: printf: argument list ended prematurely
Prelude Text.Printf> printf "%d\n" 0.5
*** Exception: printf: bad formatting char 'd'
Prelude Text.Printf> printf "%d\n" 1 2
1
*** Exception: printf: formatting string ended prematurely

It could certainly be done with TH/QQ. I'm not sure, offhand, if there is already a package to that effect.
Indeed. Idris aims to be "PacMan complete". As in it should be perfectly feasible to write PacMan using Idris.

Google Images has interior views and elevations which the article does not. I particularly like the grand salon from what appears to be an overlooking balcony: http://atlasofinteriors.polimi-cooperation.org/wp-content/up...

I think this must be the first time in my life I've actually seen modernism achieve a satisfactory combination of the industrial, on the one hand, and the humanistic, on the other - I'm not sure I love the nonskid flooring everywhere, and a Persian rug or similar might help tie together the conversation area centered on the divan, but the overall impression is nonetheless quite an appealing one. Based on the geometry of the space, I suspect the aural environment would be similarly pleasant - the high, airy volume would support close conversation without turning a more declamative style into a farrago of reverberation, and support a nuanced piano performance without swallowing quiet passages or ruining loud ones.

The salon being apparently the focus of the place, or at least of that photography I've found, it's hard to get a sense of the other rooms, and modernist architecture in general has a nasty habit of being a bear to maintain due to design features more oriented toward presenting the architect's vision than withstanding the loads placed on an edifice by its environment. But at the very least, should I ever find myself in the neighborhood, I'll most certainly have to find some way to visit.

I never said that most people do. When you quoted my post in your response, you left off the clause where I said: "if they quote the parent post in their response".
