I thought after the war the victors (at least England and the US) treated the refugees and immigrants quite well. Admittedly not as well as their own troops in the area but humanely. I know France and the USSR treated the refugees very harshly though.

If you're spending a significant amount of time navigating with with arrows keys or hjkl, maybe you should switch on incremental search and start using /[FOO], ?[FOO], t[FOO], b, w, %, ^ and $ more. It's highly unlikely that character-by-character movement will be the fastest way to navigate.

Alt+character is the same as Esc followed by character if you want to speed up your escaping without using a non-standard keyboard layout.

I had the exact same reaction. This story has all the telltale signs of typical internet fiction trying to pass as a real story. Lack of details (no names of the school, teacher, etc., no date) combined with an implausible "this doesn't happen to anyone" story line is the biggest giveaway.

It's unfortunate that people are so eager to believe a happy story that they will suppress their bullshit detectors. The truth is important even when the lie is pleasant.

Glad to see this comment is at the top, disappointed to see the story voted so highly in the first place, though.
Discover Debian's hassle-free trademarks, use them to promote Debian
Some might not see this as on-topic because it is not a startup but a business that sells food to startups. That may be why there are no answers to it yet.

First see if you can apologize to the catering agencies and get back in good graces with them. You did not give us any details why they dropped you. Speak to a manager there and see if it is possible for them to take your account back.

Failing that try to find other catering agencies in your area.

If you cannot find work by catering agencies try changing your business to one that drives trucks around. This is a company in my area that does well with Korean Tacos http://www.seoultacostl.com/

You might try to find areas you can get permission to park your truck at and cater to the crowds there. I would suggest startups and startup events, and try things like Korean Tacos where you mix one food item with another. A lot of people who work at startups like Asian food.

Consider doing a Kickstarter so you can raise money to do your own food catering agency to serve your business and other catering companies. Maybe build on your web site so it can be marketed better. Put in a program where a startup can request that you cater their events.

Make sure you create accounts for your catering service on as many social networking sites as possible to help promote it. Find web sites on food reviews on businesses in your area and email them to do a review on your business. Advertise in the local yellow pages as well.

I hope this advice helps,
Could you talk about how you're deploying these services. Coming from passenger world, I found jetty deployment to be a bit complex.

are you using maven, etc.? I would be very interested to find out how a ruby centric dev shop is handling Java deployments and builds.

P. S. how about mocks and testing?
Honestly, git's the only program on this page that I'm fine with it being explicit and pedantic about what it's going to do. There are many situations where it could probably guess what I wanted to do but be wrong...

That's it I really need to buckle down and learn clojure. I just got the perfect project today since I have to use a certain Java only library and then do some text processing on the copious results of that library's processing.
>>No. X was intended to prevent Y. Y occurred -- to the tune of $100M. And it was not an isolated incident. Therefore X fails to prevent Y. In addition, X has lots of deleterious effects, not least of which is stifling competition.

X= A ticket for illegal parking
Y= People still park illegally

Therefore X fails to prevent Y

Now go ahead and replace X and Y for any type of law and crime. By your logic we might as well abolish or laws or regulations because there is still plenty of crime.

Hey hackers!

I'm the CTO of a social dating startup called Coffee Meets Bagel (http://www.coffeemeetsbagel.com) based in San Francisco, and we're looking for a Lead Mobile Engineer to build our iOS and Android apps. We have an existing app but, honestly, it sucks; you'd be rebuilding the apps from scratch.

We are a small, close-knit team of 5 full time people. The technical team consists of a backend engineer (me) and a front-end engineer, plus a remote backend developer. You would be the first mobile developer. We're looking for someone who has experience building either iOS or Android apps (both is even better) so you can hit the ground running. Other than that, we are open to a wide range of candidates - if you are a solid engineer, are highly innovative, and are excited about a fast-paced environment where your ideas will be heard, then please contact me at adam-at-coffeeemeetsbagel-dot-com.

Disclaimer: though it can help, even working at a dating startup can't guarantee that you will find a date.

As a student, I'm just going to say that it's about time somebody did this. Even going to an extremely high-quality school, Salman Khan is just a better at explaining concepts than your teacher. And that's okay.

Just consider this: If students statewide are failing to understand a concept, new videos can be A/B tested in its place, and you put the winner into practice. You actually have the potential to optimize teaching, at high scale, for what helps people learn. That's a huge step forward for everyone involved.

Recommend reading zsh-lovers (http://grml.org/zsh/zsh-lovers.html).

Also check the zsh reference card on the sourceforge website. Learn the various techniques of globbing on the command line.

For zsh-lovers to make sense, you have to also refer to the zsh reference card (zsh sourceforge.net site) as well as the User Manual by Peter Stephenson (pws).

Hi Feldo, sounds like a really tough spot to be in.

Can you share with us what mistake led you to being dropped by your biggest source of revenue? In these sorts of things often an 'after action' report works out pretty well, it goes "Oh we blew it, we did X, this caused Y, we've changed P, Q, and R so that X can't happen again." Startups do that all the time, one of the more common ones is "we didn't secure our servers and gave out everyones login information" or something along those lines.

Restaurants are particularly hard places to succeed because not only are they regulation rich (so there is a lot of energy expended in dealing with the health department) they are abused by fickle tastes. (Ask anyone who has tried to run a Greek restaurant in the south bay for a while now, not sure why but they are darn hard to find)

Your web site talks about attending food festivals, do you have a truck? The Curryupnow folks gave a pretty textbook example of how to build a following by driving to specific spots, tweeting about it, and introducing their cuisine to folks outside their building. That skipped the whole 'get us a catering gig' problem which is, as you've experienced, a challenge.

Going to war with NK right now, even if China withdrew support, would cause even more suffering to both NK people and SK/foreign people than we have now. It's really lose/lose -- the best hope is isolation and clear amnesty/reconstruction on offer, to encourage domestic political change.

Even somehow encouraging revolution could be dangerous, as long as the military stays intact, since one way to deal with a domestic problem is to start a foreign war against (what most of the population believe) is a serious adversary.

My evolving theory of intervention is that any militarily opposed action which can't be accomplished by a single brigade or smaller force in less than 3 months will bring more harm than good, and should only be executed in defense with all other options exhausted. Liberating the people of Equatorial Guinea or ending the MEND conflict (or destroying AQ presence in Afghanistan in 2001) probably would be a net win for humanity (and each could be accomplished by a very small force, maybe 500 + support); NK is at the extreme other end of the scale with occupation of Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.

The bond is meant to reduce, not eliminate, the frequency of fraud. It also makes winding up a failing institution smoother. Yes, this impacts efficiency, but it also decreases risk. One could argue about the size of the bond, but as a mechanism it's a technique with a good history across finance.

Also, no firm is bust-proof. There are a number of human and technical errors that could take down a payment processor. Payment processors are also exposed to payment fraud. There there is good old competitive pressure.
I don't know. We're using a bunch of C extensions that aren't trivially compatible with PyPy, so using it isn't really an option -- which is a pity, since PyPy sounds pretty amazing.

So if the pilot of the Enola Gay was hopped up on speed when he dropped the bomb, that would make it OK?

Either way, inasmuch as it helped to shorten the war, prevent American invasion, and prevent Soviet invasion the atomic bombs actually probably saved Japanese lives overall (civilian and military both).

Most notably, news of the second atomic bomb came while the Emperor Hirohito and his cabinet were meeting to discuss what to do about the first, and about the Soviet invasion of Manchuria. Even though they received the news of the second bombing earlier that day the cabinet still deadlocked 2-2 on the question of whether to surrender; it was Hirohito himself who had to decide that enough was enough.

The Emperor would record his surrender announcement to be played back the next day... in the meantime elements of the Imperial Japanese Army decided to overthrow the government in order to prevent the surrender announcement from being broadcast. Two high-level officials were killed in the process, a senior Army general killed himself rather than stop the coup, and the bravery of some of the palace staff managed to keep the broadcast from falling into the hands of the conspirators.

So I'm not sure we'll ever know exactly how much the atomic bomb weighed into that, but it certainly appears to have been more than zero, even though its destructive effect was not significantly more than what was already being experienced by other Japanese cities sustaining wave upon wave of conventional bombing (which relatively few people ever seem to complain about for some reason).

I recently visited the Hellfire Pass memorial in Thailand. For those who don't know, Hellfire Pass, also known as Konyu Cutting, was the deadliest and most brutal section of the Japanese Death Railway to Burma for the POWs forced into labor.

The memorial, which I highly recommend, includes an audio headset which plays interviews with survivors as you walk through the pass. Their accounts are chilling though certainly not to the level of the Nanking Massacre.

Why Some Babies' Guts Are Healther Than Others
You're using very emotionally loaded words and have made repeated decisions in the short term that have led to very negative results. This is the time to get help from an external party that can maintain sufficient objectivity, privacy and perspective to help you steer a clear course until the extraneous factors that are distorting your option-evaluation-algorithm subside. To that end, I suggest food, sun, sex, sleep and whatever else you deny yourself when it's crunch time. If you are good enough, the opportunity is coming and this is waiting for the cusp to ensure right action. If not, then it is time to make peace with mediocrity.

Pythons generators are similar to that idea, although it's not their official use. Using 'yield' instead of 'return' in python lets you return to that function at the same point of execution later on (using .next()), at which time you could have changed member variables of the class wrapping that function, effectively modifying the environment of the function, yet the local variables are exactly as they were and so execution still proceeds as it should.

Normally this is used for producing very large lists in an on-demand manner, rather than precomputing, but it can be abused for some very unique things.
I'm actually writing a php code generator to generate an api wrapper for highcharts, and I was really curious about this as well. The interface looks homebrew, but I'm just not sure...

The US is the country which probably retained the most industrial/agricultural capacity and could have done more.
