* A core engine that understands the code you write.

* The ability to run this engine in the background.

* A unified API that would make possible for plugin authors to interact seamlessly with that engine but also between each other.

* Certainly a thousand of minor details.

You can add as many fancy plugins as you want, you'll never get an IDE.

You'll get something that looks more or less like an IDE and works more or less like an IDE, but not an IDE because an IDE is not a text editor with a file explorer on the left, a class explorer on the right and a list of compile errors underneath. It is much more than that and Vim doesn't have and can't have that "much more".

Unless you count external compilers/debuggers/profiler/linters as that "much more" but that's still not an IDE. A DE, maybe, but certainly not "I"ntegrated. Well, not even an "E"nvironment, actually, given Vim's design principles.
Well, everyone else has given an idea about why you shouldn't go to Berlin.

In case you have a powerful reason for still going there, a few quick points: English is not that common, but is far more common than in the neighboring cities - you probably won't be super comfortable, but you'll survive. If you are on a budget and/or planning to live on whatever money you already have, Berlin is much cheaper than any of the other countries mentioned. There's also a very large Turkish community, in case that means something for you.

Keep in mind all the negative comments mentioned, though. This points are valid when you are a regular citizen, but as a refugee they might not apply.

Be careful if you are tempted by Australia, in light of your employer. Refugees are a huge political issue in the current federal election and the two major parties are competing to see who can be the most inhumane. The Australia government is ignoring the UN refugee convention, with refugees without a visa being forcibly, and permanently, exported to Manus Island. The catch 22 is that the Australian government won't hand out a visa if there is any inkling that a person might be a refugee, so the phrase "without a visa" can be replaced with "all". Be cautious of researching refugee issues under your own identity, if you intend to apply for an Australian visa.

If you can get an Australia work visa and make it onto Australian soil, you might be able to circumvent the "no visa" rule. In this case, be wary of the possibility of detention, possibly indefinite, inside Australia. Australian officials will also do their best to keep a new arrival ignorant of their rights, allowing them to be deported, so find out exactly what your rights are and what the procedure and legally correct wording is to claim asylum and activate the UN process.

If considering Australia, perhaps get some advice from an expert, such as Sr Pat Sealey [1]? (Presumably she can be contacted though her order's South Australian address [2].)

Edit: I'll add that it is not clear to me whether the automatic deportation only applies to refugees who arrive by boat, or to any refugee that arrives without a visa.

Further edit: My comment about indefinite detention in Australia applies if you arrive on a work visa then claim asylum, not if you are actually working and have not claimed asylum.
What you propose may sound great and easy in theory, but in practice it's usually a huge disaster.

The truly useful code of the application will quickly become overwhelmed by the code that tries to abstract away the high-level abstractions offered by the frameworks being used. The boundary or interfacing code you mention ends up becoming a custom framework in and of itself, but usually far more limited than the underlying frameworks.

It's pointless to use a framework in the first place in order to reduce the time and effort needed to build a software system, only to immediately try to abstract it away with a bunch of custom code.

As an industry, we've seen these kinds of systems in the Java world for many years now, and they never turn out well. The performance is awful due to the layers upon layers of abstraction. It becomes extremely difficult to partially, never mind fully, comprehend such a system. This in turn makes even simple changes risky and awkward. And in virtually all cases, the abstractions end up being useless, because the underlying framework is never actually changed at any time. And in the rare cases that it is, a huge amount of work is needed anyway because the code abstracting away the framework never does this perfectly.

The cost of implementing and maintaining the type of abstraction that you propose can easily exceed the cost of rebuilding from scratch software systems that are highly tied to one or more frameworks.

Amen! For the last few years I've bleated about this to any one who will listen. A few years ago I moved from academia to industry and I was shocked by how restrictive the employment contracts are (I'm in the UK). I reckon it's also a major contributor to wages being so much lower over here. How can we change it though? I'd love it if we could get legislation introduced similar to that in California. What practical steps could we take?
I thought that was the BNP. Isn't the EDL focused on Islam or something like that?
Especially concerning muslims or people from muslim countries, xenophobia is crossing over to be the majority opinion. Over half of all Germans believe Islam to be a threat.

Having an arab/turkish name can disqualify you for most job interviews, regardless of background or skill. There was a bestseller in the past years where someone wanted to rationalize social inequality towards especially turks with the basic idea that turks in Germany are genetically inferior in intelligence and will "dilute" our gene pool because of their high reproductive rates...

The only saving grace in that incidence was that most Germans pushed back heavily, at least at that time.

Yeah, I'm not one of those wankers who blames BFL because they said "two months or more" and then "or more" turned out to be quite a bit more. I'm really quite impressed with the pace of ASIC development, even if my own product shipped so late I may never make a return, there were people who ordered their items 7 months ahead of me who spent more and aren't getting it yet.

I'll be happy for BFL when they release the Monarch line. It's still pretty easy for me to be not bitter when I'm at least breaking even.
Very clever, that, once you think about it. "The on-time airline" running late, stuck in holding pattern, claim you're out of fuel, get landing priority, no more delay. About as classy as the other Ryanair tactics.
The few cases when Ive seen OOM invoked, it took couple of minutes to kill chromium after flash (of course) messed up, during that time the system was unresponsive and it killed few random smaller processes until it hit the correct one, flash or chromium in some weird interdependent bug. Either way, I wasnt too happy.

After a while I noticed when the bug triggered/the system started becoming unresponsive, and I had a terminal with killall -9 chromium & killall -9 flash-plugin ready to go, so I could myself preempt it and OOM wouldnt get involved. There has to be better mechanism than OOM.
Well, we have daily update requests (it's not a web app), so we knew the number of daily users already. But we really wanted to know the monthly users, gives a way better idea of the actual user numbers. What we ended up doing is to transmit the timestamp of the last update check with each update check, that way we can see which requests are the first over an arbitrary period.

Granted, the situation is probably not that similar to what DDG faces, but it was just one issue that came up. What we use for web analytics is based on awstats, which operates on access logs with anonymised IPs. Not as good as Google Analytics, but as useful as it gets without JS/tracking, I guess.

I'd like to correct myself: I've said that the policy was implemented couple of years before, this is not correct.
The first country-wide law ‘against propaganda of homosexuality to minors’ was really passed on 11-th of June, 2013. But we had multiple similar laws that were passed on regional levels long before, starting in 2006 when the law was passed in Ryazan Oblast, and culminating in 2011 when it was passed in many other regions and Saint Petersburg among them. And the media was talking about the need for such laws probably for five or six years.

Here is a good summary of the situation: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=...

I should have checked the facts earlier. The media was babbling about the need of the law for so long, that it seems that I've lost touch. The ruling party has introduced the bill in March of 2012. They government is doing so many blatantly absurd things, that it's hard to track of all of them. The current issues that I'm interested in are the dissolution of the Russian Academy of Sciences; extending of blatant religious propaganda to small children in schools; possible two-fold or three-fold increase of the utility payments; introduction of the ‘non-state’ center for fighting ‘atheist extremism’ by the church which is so integrated into the ruling regime, impudent and crooky that it alienates not-insignificant part of it's own congregation; the legislation for prohibiting the Tor network and the growing list of banned websites; dismantling of free education. And the disturbing fact that anything that doesn't go along with government's plans is becoming ‘extremism’. Even small local protests against non-political issues are being videotaped by the FSB, in the regions some people literally go to jail for protesting against minor stuff, etc., etc.

Have a good time! Since I haven't been invited to any wedding party, I have no choice but to resort to drinking alone. Ha ha, just kidding. In the coming days I would probably do some work. )))

For most of history, the way people communicated in private was to invite someone into their home and talk to them. That way still exists. All of the means of communication that were private in 1789 still are.

What you're asking for is to go another step: to be able to spew unencrypted bits all over the internet for any of hundreds of sysadmins and network engineers to see, then turn around and claim its private. You want to broadcast your location in real time to Google and ATT, who sells it to advertisers, then claim its private.

Maybe you should be able to do that. But its disingenuous to claim that what you're asking for is basic human private communication. What you're asking for is for the government to treat the internet as something other than what it is: a public network designed with almost no thought to keeping information private. At the most basic level, being a routed network with no built in encryption IP leaks your data out to every intermediate router on the way to the destination. SMTP passes your clear text email through multiple servers on the way to someone's inbox. Its a vast system designed with no thought to leaking your private data out into the world.

Maybe its because nobody teaches low level networking in school anymore, but I'm amazed at how many technologists indulge what is a technical fiction: that the two ends of a socket are connected by a private link.
I think it's better to avoid encryption unless it's for really sensitive information or knowledge that could hurt you if broadcast. Using Tor or Truecrypt essentially paints a target on your back: you are paradoxically more likely to be under surveillance by agencies if you use them, even if you aren't concealing anything illegal or reprehensible.

Wanting something and expecting it from public companies like the phone company and Microsoft are different things, however. I think almost anyone on the street knows about phone taps from TV and movies for example, so there's almost no one who thinks your phone can't be tapped. I don't really follow this writer's claim that all the stuff built on top and later somehow magically becomes private. Nor that there will be mass consumer adoption of some solution that avoids possible tapping at the cost of other things, such as network size and price. If you went door to door asking people to pay twice their phone bill for an untappable phone, how many do you think would say yes? I think not many. The writer claims many.
"Using Tor or Truecrypt essentially paints a target on your back: you are paradoxically more likely to be under surveillance by agencies if you use them..."

"Paradoxically" you say. I don't think there's a paradox here. I think it's far too rare that people use these tools to protect themselves, and therefore the surveillance community sees it as a potential flag worth investigating.

Therefore, we should all use these tools, make them common place, and force them to learn to be efficient at their jobs tracking down actual risks.

Don't waste any time, get out of the country asap on regular touristic visa. Usually it means you can stay "on a vacation" for up to 30 days at once and 3 months in total (you just cross the border and return), which should be enough to see what's going on with Syria. Legally you can't work, but if you already have an online job no one will stop you to continue working. If the war starts you can then obtain the refugee status in that country on the basis that you can't return to your homeland. The refugee status doesn't mean that you have to stay in that country, as an educated refugee you can apply for a work visa in other countries through their embassies.

IOS 7: Fitting In versus Standing Out
Another thing:

i dont know if this is true or not, but i heard you should avoid passing through Greece. Best option is to make your way to Turkey, and from there straight to Western Europe. And if possible, do not attempt to go alone, but travel with a group of people. You'll encounter a lot of people who will try to take advantage of you.

Another option, if you belong to a minority: Stick with your people, seek their centers and get their advise. (This may sound kind of racist. But Syria has a lot of minorities, each with a different approach to this situation. Don't be fooled, it is War, so everybody will rather help their people first. I don't make the rules...)

It's not the best analogy as when airplane is low on fuel, dropping a passenger wouldn't make a big difference (I'm assuming).

But think of a a hypothetical situation where low fuel situations somehow were common, unforeseeable and unavoidable. And if dropping a passenger could indeed make a difference between full crash or safe landing. It's a shitty situation, but it makes sense to give somebody a chute and kick them out, instead of letting all die.
