Both your girlfriend and enraged camel are correct. enraged camel will probably agree that at this stage that talk of government overthrow and revolution is ridiculous--he says as much in his earlier post. Compared to Egypt or Syria the reasons for the protests are indeed laughably quaint by comparison. The lead-up involved the gov's attempts at the demolition of a historical movie theater, building a third bridge across the Bosphorus, restricting alcohol sale laws which were previously laxer than most EU countries, and this whole Taksim park and historical ottoman barracks "reconstruction". As you can see, most of these things are mostly grievances you would see in western democratic countries. The most undemocratic component in the past years that has been the hallmark of previous governments as well--the lengthy jailtime for people being accused of abstract & extreme anti-government activity--has been mostly out of play in this most recent of public shit fits.

The main difference this time around, and the government's biggest mistake, has been the continued disproportionate police response...

But engineering is not just product design.

A solution to a problem that requires engineering expertise may be a hack of an already developed technical system.

Engineering, at least in a traditional sense, is more about applying science to solve problems and design technical solutions, not just making new products.

Product Review: Carbonite
When I worked for a large multi-national (quite a few years ago) I brought some software engineers working out of one of our UK offices onto our team because of some collaboration initiative. I was surprised not only at how much lower their salary was than in the U.S. (I was in Palo Alto, CA at the time) but how much shit they put up with that software engineers in the US would say "fuck off" to, hoops they had to jump through to advance, wearing neckties, yes sir, no sir, three bags full sir, etc. It felt like being in high school or something. I felt bad for them, and they were good engineers.

> All business is ruled by the laws of economics.

No, this is exactly what's wrong with all of this analysis. Economics is a social science. That's one of the reasons why behavioral economics has attracted so many bright minds, because of the obvious shortcoming of classical economics. To think that people are simply going to chase higher salaries ignores everything that you should know about how real people make decisions about careers.

That's not to say that there are no examples of this, but it's obvious based on the numbers of people who self-describe as a "programmer" that this is not happening in sufficient numbers relative to the demand.
It's not full-time, I have a part-time internship, a remote job in Germany. And I earn 11k. Haven't graduated yet though.

UK Business also seems to be somewhat more conservative about technology choices from what I can tell.

So being the type of developer who can get up to speed on new technology is not necessarily so useful as it might be in the US.
A US HR consulting firm called Mercer ranks cities by their cost of living for expats -- what a professional-class resident would expect to pay. They rated London in 2012 at #25 in the world, and more expensive than any US city.

Textminer is right, no need to mention your current wage.

But honestly, it seriously depends on what technologies you have experience with.

But to give you a number, you could very easily get $125k. I bet if you somehow got 100 offers, the vast majority of them would be normally distributed between $110 and $140k.

Mitigating factors:
1. The universe of companies willing to fly-in a candidate and pay for relocation is smaller, so you have less bargaining power. I was able to secure a 20% raise the first time I changed jobs here -- a year after relocating.

2. If you have impressive skills in more lucrative technologies you can certainly make more.

Thanks for the history. Sounds right. So 6Model and Moose are siblings, rather than parent / child.

I think my original point, though, holds up: One of the actual delivered achievements of the Perl 6 project is a sophisticated flexible object model, now in production outside of Perl 6, and also the basis of deeper (re)design within Perl 6.
The optimization of tail-call optimization is converting some recursive procedure descriptions into iterative processes. A recursive procedure description may instead describe a necessarily recursive process.

"1000 times more sensitive"

What does that even mean?

Even 10 times higher quantum efficiency shooting wide open on optical band targets would be physically impossible.

On top of that, 'Eliminates need for flash' is not a great title - most people who care about photography don't use flash much for direct illumination; very flat targets, indirect illumination, close-range zoomed in macro shots, and filling in a dark foreground are the exceptions. Cell phone shots look like cell phone shots in part 1) because they compensate for the tiny sensor with crappy LEDs, not even proper xenon bulbs, but mainly 2) because a 1/4" class sensor can only offer 1/3 the SNR of a cheap point & shoot 1/2.3" class sensor on a good day, for the same level of illumination: they need the flash to work, and so you get flash-based shots, which usually look horrible because of the distinctive way it lights the scene.

I'm bummed to hear you're still looking for a job, especially based on everything I'm hearing about the opportunities in New York. Are you willing to relocate, or are you specifically looking for a remote role.

In any case, I'm certainly not making the case that it's easy to get a job. Virtually every step in the process is broken, from education to vocational training to job placement to recruiting. I think it's fair to say that companies have really not figured out how to hire. The current solution reminds me of overengineering: you hire an 9, even though you only need a 6 because you know there's a +/- 3 margin of error.

MacBook Pro mid-2009 user here. 17" high-res screen awesome for coding. Recently upgraded to 8GB RAM & 256GB SSD using off-the shelf components. Works well, but suspect that four year old machine will need to be replaced in the next two years. 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo starting to feel slow. Expect to change in the next two years, but currently missing a compelling reason to do so.
The core libraries are very large and there is no standard way of stripping them out. Clojurescript (partially) addresses this by passing the generated js through the google closure compiler. Perhaps a similar pass could be made in the jvm compiler.
Anyone who take lipitor is a moron in the first place:

- It has zero to negative efficacy, at least for the for the vast majority of people taking it, and virtually no efficacy for the rest.

- You can get generics that are equally 'effective' for virtually free.

- It's vastly less effective than even the most minimal of lifestyle interventions.

- If for some reason you really wanted to take those chemicals, you could just get them for free in your diet anyway. E.g. from red rice and I think certain other fungi.

Between the polls and the political stuff, I'm totally not getting sick of the site content this week.
Hey, mostly it's fine. I always come across as more angry than I actually am, because I'm just like that.

No, what I'd really like to let go of is getting emails from recruiters regularly from firms that definitely don't want me right now.

A company sent me a recruitment letter just last week, whose details I won't divulge. However, if they had looked at my resume or LinkedIn page (which is linked in my resume), they would have seen that I don't meet their listed requirements anyway. I haven't spent two full-time years in industry, and I certainly don't have two years' full-time engineering experience in the things listed under LIST OF SUBJECTS. I list myself as a graduate student on my profile and my recent (ie: Fall 2012 and later) resumes, and indicate no desire to drop out.

So the strikes against me are: my experience level, my being employed already as a graduate student, and the fact that they're not looking for interns. Three obvious strikes, from publicly-available information about my situation.

It ends up being like having cheerleaders flirt with me: flattering when I'm already safely paired-up but pathologically mismatched to who I actually am if I'm looking.

TLDR: Go ahead and patronize. I probably deserve it, and it flatters me to think of myself as a young, immature squirt at the age of 24.

The U.S. Helps Reconstruct the Ottoman Empire
I can't quite get what this is doing. My impression is that it's trying to make it easy for me to authenticate to a website, using my phone somehow.

My idea for auth with QR codes would work something like:

a) initial setup: user establishes profile with website, including creating a public/private key pair. Public key stays with the service, private key in the user's phone/app.

b) To authenticate, website presents user with QR code containing a token encrypted with user's public key.

c) user scans code with phone/app, decrypts token with private key, signs it, and returns it to service, which verifies token and signature thus authenticating user.

But then all you've done is validated the user on his/her phone... not on the computer displaying the web page with the original QR code. What am I missing?

What a strange story, basically "Oh gee, we've created a sensor that is better than all other sensors using the material that everyone thinks is a super material" followed by "If the industry chooses to adopt his design, Wang said it could lead to cheaper, lighter cameras with longer battery lives for all."

Really? Ok so if you really create a sensor with a 1000x the light gathering capacity of CMOS sensors and a commensurate 1000x reduced sensitivity to noise, and if it can be manufactured in volume, why wouldn't someone build a camera with it? So why the 'If' in that last paragraph?

Yes, but this reasoning only goes so far. In order to pay all your engineers 500k/year, you'd have to absurdly profitable. Maybe MS and Google could pull that off, but most companies could not.
