One thing to keep in mind with LevelDB is that it has been created with web browsers and mobile devices as the main use case, NOT as a high-performance data store. If the features of LevelDB appeal to you, however, you may want to check out Basho's fork of it that they have tuned for use in a server environment: https://github.com/basho/leveldb . If this is interesting to you, check out Matthew Von-Maszewsky's recent talk at the Ricon East conference about his work tuning it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vo88IdglU_8
Most cities look at large-scale, high-salary employers as a good thing; they go out of their way to solicit them, because high-income employees consume fewer services while paying more into the system, and because those employees are extremely valuable to the local retail economy. Most cities would see techies as a good thing: they ride bikes, they buy expensive local coffee, they eat out all the time, they're statistically very unlikely to mug people or steal cars.

I was in Austin recently and I definitely felt a much more positive energy out there than in California. At first, it was weird. "Wait, people here want people like us to move in?"

As an economic arrangement, homeownership is (IMO) a less-than-optimal one-- possibly better than renting but only because the government makes it so-- but it's good for civic virtue because when middle-class people can own houses, there's a focus on making the place better for everyone (since you're planning to be there for several years) rather than this zero-sum mentality you get in the coastal star cities.

Yes, it's important to remind to other people (they seem to forget) that according to the US constitution, these rights are not given to humans (not citizens) by the government, they are recognized, since they are innate.

Ah yes, the metadata that is not protected by the 4th Amendment because Verizon's users freely gave it to Verizon and have no expectation of privacy that Verizon would not transmit it further. The relevant case is Smith v. Maryland, which incidentally was decided by a liberal court during a privacy-conscious time after the CIA and FBI scandals came to light in the 1970s. Furthermore, we have learned that the NSA has procedures for accessing the data for the specific purpose of securing public privacy. This is a good example of how one of Glenn Greenwald's stories was flat-out wrong.

The Verizon corporation has a good case that their 4th Amendment right to privacy is being violated, but the American people do not in this particular instance.

By my understanding, the Supreme Court has not yet ruled against the legality of long-term tracking through information freely given by the tracking subject. You might be thinking of US v. Jones where the police installed a GPS monitor on someone's car.

I don't. We could have a 9/11 type event every year, and it would still not be as big a problem as automobile accidents. If we're going to live in a police state, I would hope the police state would focus on major causes of preventable death, like disease and automobile accidents. Terrorism in the United States is not a serious problem worthy of this level of concern.
yUML ( http://yuml.me ) is brilliant for quickly putting together simple, nice looking diagrams. It's based on Graphviz and doesn't require graphical tools, just a basic text language, so you can throw together something for a demo in 2 minutes.

I'm working on a tool to parse Objective-C into yUML at the moment- https://github.com/darkFunction/DFGrok

Then why even release it? You're releasing a new "coding method" for mobile platforms with no documentation, no sample code, no example applications, no benchmark backups.

Nobody is going to hand over $200 without at least some of those items listed above. So it just seems a bit strange to even want to release it.

I'm just saying you should slow down a little bit, take a look at http://www.rubymotion.com/ for example. It's the same sort of thing, Ruby for iOS. They provide both examples, publicly available documentation, they even have a way to try it out yourself and see what it looks like.

That's unrealistic, because we simply won't put up with mass casualty events. The key is to focus the response productively and avoid mission creep. It's the potential if not inevitability of the latter that makes the current NSA et. al. stuff so bad.

This is different, this is a president who's cut from the same cloth as Nixon, in everything from being the first one since him to refer to his political enemies as "enemies" to this new model of the Plumbers ... except the establishment and media hated Nixon with a passion starting in the late '40s, 1950 at the latest. Obama hasn't been subjected to that level of feedback, e.g. note how many on the Left are happy with or at least excusing his Administration's suppression of the TEA Party et. al., which is one of the things that casts the NSA's extreme data gathering---not "collection", you must understand...---in sharp relief.
Thanks for building the plugin, I'm going to keep it installed because it's still useful in its current state, though I look forward to inline comments.

Also thanks for the "show line notes" tip, knowing that I can edit or delete the comments will make me more likely to use the plugin.

Call me crazy but that seems like a very impressive success rate given 40000 total.

Considering that the entire point of a democracy is a compromise from principles to practicality, I'm surprised you expect a democratic country to be impractical for the sake of principle.
LDR is a pseudo instruction that uses MOVs to load a register.

(http://www.woodmann.com/fravia/The%20ARM%20Processor.htm)

> The ARM assembler also supports a similar pseudo operation. The construct LDR rd,=value is used to load value into register rd. The LDR pseudo instruction uses the MOV or MOV instructions, or it places the constant in memory and uses program counter relative addressing to load the constant.

(http://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/as/ARM-Opcodes.html)

> If expression evaluates to a numeric constant then a MOV or MVN instruction will be used in place of the LDR instruction, if the constant can be generated by either of these instructions. Otherwise the constant will be placed into the nearest literal pool (if it not already there) and a PC relative LDR instruction will be generated.

Most democratic countries have a very nation-state-oriented view of democracy, where it's a group of people who rule themselves democratically. That tends to lead towards emphasizing citizenship a lot, so e.g. many European countries would be much stricter about conditions under which they'd extradite one of their own citizens. But Snowden isn't one of their citizens, so falls in a different category of basically "not our responsibility".

Sure, "tons of people do", they're by definition part of the problem, since they explicitly or implicitly support these types of thuggishness, as long as it's directed at their enemies.

We on the other side mostly want to be left alone. Their side isn't willing to do that, which is why we're sliding towards a hot civil war.

Oh, the answer to you question is simple - you can't. We just had a terror attack in US not so long ago. And there probably would be others, unfortunately, though nobody could predict where and when. If somebody promises you he'll stop all terror attacks - he's lying. If somebody claims he can give you safety only if you surrender your freedom - he is lying and he's trying to enslave you, using your fear against you.

I am completely convinced, however, that US government, with all its enormous might, is perfectly capable of ensuring reasonable - not complete, as it is impossible, but reasonable - level of safety to US citizens without turning into a police state and shredding the Constitution. Yes, it will be harder and some important people would be forced to work a lot harder than otherwise and spend more money and stay longer hours, and be frustrated and annoyed by how they have to follow all those pesky little rules while doing their work. It is the only way to do it without turning from citizens to subjects.

Didn't they have to lure him away from the UK to be in a position to abduct him in the first place though?

So really it depends where you are and what you're willing to do.
Owners vs. renters is of course one of the defining class conflicts of San Francisco.
In a free society, you can't guarantee that you will stop terror attacks. They do cause damage and mayhem, however that is strictly localised unless the government overreacts and introduces draconian measures in a mistaken attempt to find terrorists under every rock. The UK survived decades of terrorism (sponsored by some US politicians like Rep. Peter King, now so ferocious against terrorists) without relying on mass surveillance of the kind it is now engaged in, in partnership with the US. It's not necessary to stop the attacks, only to survive them. Your question is like asking: How can we stop the next war?

In fact the aims of terror are principally to provoke a government to introduce repressive measures and lash out, and in the process, damage itself and its credibility with citizens. I think the aims of Bin Laden were probably to induce terror, fear, and paranoia in the US, and unfortunately they have succeeded, probably beyond their wildest dreams. Huge amounts of money and numbers of lives have been squandered, and the only result has been a series of failed states half-way across the world, a casual disregard for the rule of law, and a growing surveillance state at home destroying the very ideas the US claims to represent.

It's time for the US to recognise that expanding the architecture of surveillance and engaging in an eternal war against an ill-defined enemy is not going to make anyone safer, quite the reverse.
It's possible the press would not portray his trial fairly, but the proceedings are public, and a trial would draw continued press, whereas if Snowden successfully seeks asylum, the story goes cold.

I should elaborate on Snowden's choice of helper countries: is a national security risk to the United States. Here you have someone in possession of state secrets who needs help from a foreign government. That's the definition of compromised. What is he going to trade for protection? More classified information, of course--possibly much more sensitive information than the relatively harmless, widely known) programs like PRISM. He has national security information, and foreign governments want it. This information will eventually flow to the intelligence agencies of China and/or Russia.
Reports say he used diplomatic cars [1] to avoid visa requirement.

By nuking the rest of the world to glass. If only USA exist there will be no more terrorism. I also intend of stopping crime by preemptively incarcerating everyone and sending them to prison. And I will also stop rape by freezing the sperm of every man when he gets his first ejaculation and then castrate them.

The prevention efforts should be reciprocal to the threat.
I've been looking to replace our in-house postgres based task queue with something more suited for the task. What has been turning me off about celery/rq/qless is that they seem tied to the host languages (python/ruby), our backend is Go, and the Postgres mostly acts as a datastore. I'd love a somewhat dropin replacement where instead of reading/writing to pg, I'm reading/writing to redis/some other in memory store.

What I want is the ability add a task with a priority and metadata, and be able to pop those tasks in O(1) time.

>But R. Scott Oswald, a Washington attorney of the Employment Law Group, called the Obama administration “a friend to whistleblowers,” saying it draws a distinction between legitimate whistleblowers who use internal systems to complain of wrongdoing vs. leakers, who illegally make classified information public.

Jesselyn Radack, Thomas Drake, John Kiriakou, Peter Van Buren, and William Binney didn't seem to think that those "internal systems" were effective. Judging by their treatment, I can't blame Edward Snowden for not deciding to become another body amongst foundations.
One other minor nit: I think the usage video on github is way fast, I can't read what's being done and takes a few replays to understand what's going on, plus all that fast movement is actually distracting (a bit headache inducing even) and may drive people away from reading down the readme. I'd go for something at least three times slower. Well that's how I felt, at least. But really great plugin, have you looked into vim-fugitive? There might be opportunities for interplay between the two plugins (e.g. fugitive allows navigating to commit objects with :G[edit|split|vsplit].)
Unfortunately, the answer can be summed up in one sentence: The US has Europe by the balls.

There are some big corps that only want people with degrees but most of them value experience more than degrees. It has been quite easy to get jobs without a degree for me and see similar tendencies for other people that don't have a degree (this is for Europe, Switzerland). On the other hand I saw people struggling to find jobs with degrees since they were lacking experience.

Snowden's choice of helper countries is a national security risk to the United States. Here you have someone in possession of (still undisclosed) state secrets from his work at the NSA, and who needs help from a foreign government. That's the very definition of compromised. What is he going to trade for protection? More classified information, of course--possibly much more sensitive information than the existence of programs like PRISM, which foreign spy agencies have likely known about for years. He has national security information, foreign governments want it, and they eventually will get it. This intel will eventually flow to China and/or Russia, where it will remain secret and used against the United States.
