Has anyone done a study of how much this is damaging the tourism industry in the USA? I have 1001 places I want to go, but all those in the USA shifted down a lot lower on the list after they started a lot of the airport security/TSA measures.

Airport security stuff annoys me to no end in other places too because half of them, or more than half, seem to literally be standing around doing nothing and the other half do their jobs rudely.

The hostel

You decide to run a site on 'shared' hosting (e.g. dreamhost, 1&1, godaddy (shudder), etc.) because it looks really cheap and they list so many "unlimited" things.

The good:

It's surprisingly pretty cozy for your startup wordpress blog about fish, although at that point you start wondering why you didn't just get a wordpress.com account instead, but you justify it by saying you were able to put your custom design theme with lasercats this way. You're not sure why your friends are saying the site feels slow.

The bad:

Oh, you like to program huh? Sorry our python version is 2 years behind. What's this ruby stuff you speak of? You're hosting user-submitted content on your bunk bed? Get out! Or upgrade to our overpriced "VPS" solution! You give up on the site and throw money away.

Samsung assembles most of its devices in Korea, but also has many factories in China, and is also a Foxconn customer. This is rather common for Korean and Japanese companies; there is some pressure to do at least some of the work in the home country, but it's not feasible to do it all there.

Maybe the most logical, but certainly also the most immoral and illegal. That's basically stealing money - why should Megaupload pay for data hosting if it can't use? As long as it's not ruled illegal by the court, it still has the right to use its money just the way it wants.

Strictly speaking, neither does Apple (or they do, but very little). Google has just contracted it out one step further.

It's messier with Samsung, because there are three sets of workers; those in Korean Samsung factories, those in Chinese Samsung factories, and those in Foxconn (which contracts for Samsung). In the last case, they're the _same_ workers.
They already do:

I wouldn't go as far as to say that the Sun makes stuff up... but they certainly don't question a "good story" as much as they should and seem to print almost everything at face value. It's the kind of paper that has sensationalist headlines about pederasts on the front page, topless pics of barely legal girls on page 3 and no sense of irony.

This particular article falls into the Jingoism style articles that the Sun is famous for. It's readers are, by and large, xenophobic bigots obsessed with reality TV and C-List celebrities.

They're the closest thing with have to Fox News here in the UK, (that's no coincidence as it's owned by Newscorp) and as such, articles in the Sun about other countries should be given the same level of credence you would give Bill O'Riley's comments about anything.

I guess that an unemployed software developer could find time to work on an open source project. I think that, on the other hand, it could be more difficult to find the motivation to do so (and not feel like you're wasting time), but it could also be considered an investment in your future - and probably a demostration that you're really an active/passionate developer.

Here's a little secret from a 43yo programmer making the best $$$ of his career. MOST SOFTWARE IS NOT BUILT BY SOFTWARE COMPANIES.

Sure, everyone knows about Google, and Facebook, and for my fellow genXers, Microsoft. The truth is though, the code that gets written at those companies and other software companies like them is a tiny fraction of the all code that gets written.

All over the economy, companies that are NOT software companies are writing code to DO STUFF. Sure Facebook is highly visible, 'valued at 100 BEEELLLIION dollars', and what all the cool kids are into. But really, who gives a shit about a feed of photos and asinine updates. Yes, it's like soap operas. Always popular, always mildly profitable, and if it disappeared tomorrow, the economy wouldn't notice.

Real companies, on the other hand, need to build software to improve their business. Your productivity at those companies will depend on you getting some 'Domain Knowledge'. Yes, I know it's like getting your hands dirty, but if you want to prosper in software development as you get older, then you will need to add domain knowledge to your skill set.

Ah! But which domains? Pick the hardest ones, is my advice. Ten years ago I would have said Financial Markets, but we are coming to the end of that gravy train. Financial Markets is a hard domain. It's difficulty makes it very difficult to find programmers who understand the domain enough to be productive, hence programmers who do have that knowledge are in very high demand. And no, they don't give a shit about how old you are.

In the future, I think the fields of bio-informatics, robotic control, logistics, traffic control (and other N-P hard problems) will present great opportunities for older programmers to find niche domains to excel at and add longevity to your programming career.

If you are young and you want to try your hand at a startup, do it now. If it works out, more power to you. If not, and you want to build a long career in software development, then find difficult and complex domains/industries and learn about them, because even if they don't build software now, they will in the future, and for that they are going to need programmers who understand the domain, not domain experts that can hack together some code.

It happened to me once when reading a FAQ for rootnode support IRC channel. There was a most important "point 0" in FAQ, that was emphasized by moving it above the page header. It was supposed to be the very first thing visitor will read, but my mind didn't even register this text being there (even after being told that there is a "point 0" and revisiting the page). Needless to say, I got into some trouble because of that, but I managed to convince FAQ maintainers that banner blindness[1] is a real thing, and they fixed the FAQ.

This is a somewhat idealistic view. South Africa only really came under serious pain when _countries_ embargoed them, particularly the UK and then the US (Desmond Tutu went to Washington and guilted the US government into producing a veto-proof majority for the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act; Reagan having vetoed it first timed round).

There are two "bite you in the ass" points about ORMs that I am talking about. The first is writing ineffecient SQL which as you mention may typically be avoided by reading all queries. The second is the RAM and CPU required by the ORM. When you require massive concurrency and very small response times, SQLAlchemy simply requires too many resources. There is no way to avoid that.

I agree that loading rows one by one and hard-coding their relationships into you business logic is not the most convenient thing. However, the point of SQL is not really to let you say "zoo.animals". The point is: you ask it questions and it returns answers. Where ORMs break down is where you start talking about aggregate rows or complex computed properties. What do you mean, sometimes animal has property potential_mates_with_offspring_count and sometimes it does not?

Yes any ORM that uses lazy evaluation will suffer from the issue above. That is why I am not a fan of any ORM. Instead, a carefully written and thought through data access layer is much more scalable and may provide true abstraction of your data storage mechanism.

Lastly, no zoo.animals is not guaranteed to be cached, since it may be a declared attribute. The session is not a cache so you cannot rely on it for that.

Are you doing actual weightlifting (mostly near maximum strength) or bodybuilding? Doing 3x10 sets I can easily exhaust myself to a point where I'm mentally unable to do anything serious afterwards and need days to recover. After weightlifting (powerlifting/olympic), I usually have a lot of mental clarity and recover more quickly. Also: are you taking long enough breaks between sets?
I'm in a similar boat to toumhi and the OP: semi-technical (basic PHP + CMS + outsourcing) with slight feature-creep and sales-sweats issues.

Besides that, I'm a WooThemes customer[1] and have been amazed at how well their model has worked. I often mention this to my HTML-template/Dreamweaver 'website designer' friends, but I think WooThemes have nothing to worry about - they're too far ahead of the curve with too polished a product to need to worry about competition. The 37signals bootstrapped article is a great overview of their progress.

So I try to emulate, only my users are not as web-savvy as WooThemes' users. It seems that more traditional sales channels must be used to overcome the chicken/egg userbase issues. But, I have time on my side, so I will persevere and hopefully manage to generate initial revenues one o' these days.

I've tried SRS's and don't like them. They're only good for memorization, and if you're memorizing something that you need to use, using it is a -lot- better than using an SRS.

Plus, memorizing complex things with via SRS isn't easy. Figuring out how to break down the cards into small enough pieces is really hard for any non-trivial information.

For instance, I tried to use it to study for the PHP Cert from Zend. I passed the test, but only because I spent so much time researching to make the cards. The actual studying of the cards was pretty much useless after having done the real work of making the cards.

I tried to use it for studying languages, but I've found that the time making the cards is pretty much wasted (it's copy and paste, no thought involved) and studying them beyond the first few reps is pointless, too. If I can get through a few reps, and I'm actively using the language, there's no need to continue doing reps beyond that. I'm better off letting someone else make the list, study them like normal flashcards a few times, and then throw them away. (Better yet is something like iKnow that has the word, translation, picture and sentence.)

In the end, I've never actually found a use case for an SRS system that wasn't trumped by something else either because of easiness or just being better.

I was under the impression that it came from the government to the event organisers (who we were contracted by), but it's possible it was a list compiled by them based on their experiences (they were a South Korean company who had done a couple of Chinese events before).

The list itself was really short, it was more interesting for the fact that our video game streams would be watched closely and that we would get kicked out of the country, than for it's content.

We called it "the Ts", off the top of my head the banned words/topics were Taiwan (call it "Chinese Taipei"), Tiananmen, Tibet.. and there were two others, both (I think) beginning with the letter T.

Amazing quote from the girl in this piece though:

> Where did they get the pictured Homeland Security report if HS "declined to comment"?

Good point. Though fabricating imagery like that is so much par for the course for Sun that it doesn't tell much about the truthfulness of the rest of the story.

Similarly, that photo isn't necessarily them either.

And perhaps neither their names ...

You know maybe you're right :-)

As a story though, it's completely plausible. In most countries customs you can get in serious trouble for joking about bombs. Adjust that for America's larger-than-life paranoia culture and tweeting about "destroying America" (not even a real threat) is a perfectly logical thing for them to get all worked up about.

I think it's important to respect people's cultural norms, even if we do not understand them. Just like you wouldn't order a glass of milk during an Italian business lunch.

Without their permission you're right, but if they sought permission from those accused they might well agree to it, in which case it would no longer be immoral - no idea about legal status, if both the prosecutors and prosecuted want to do it.

Why they would agree to it - if convicted they lose that money anyway, if found not guilty, by paying for the servers now they will still have all their data if they decide to get the site back online and resume business as normal.
