Er, Russia has huge interest in the region, as do the other players.

There are two competing natural gas pipelines being built, both of which must transit through Syria to get to the Mediterranean.

What's at stake is who gets to sell energy to Europe for the next 50-100 years!

>Russia does not seem to have any big interests in the neighborhood (though it certainly has them nearby).

I hope you're kidding. Apart from the obvious generic interests everyone has in the region (oil, pipelines and all that), Syria is one of the top 5 buyers of Russian military hardware and is a long-standing Russian ally in a region immediately South of Russia proper. The whole Syria/Iraq/Iran/Turkey setup is of deep concern to the natural security interests of Russia, which is in actual target range of missiles from that area.

It'd be like saying that the US have no big interest in Caribbean and Central American states.
The fact that you can point to some credential that asserts that you learned something doesn't speak to your ability to actually use it effectively[1], much less achieve business objectives by using it.

Also, the people who you believe have been promoted by virtue of being the "oldest employee" may actually possess skills that you are unaware of -- perhaps even skills you are unaware are useful and important. Speaking as someone who has been around the block but prefers to work as an individual contributor rather than a manager, I have observed any number of important skills that are prevalent among effective managers that most technical folks start out unaware of. Risk assessment skills -- which are often based in having enough experience with both successful and failed projects -- are a good example. Another is the willingness to take responsibility for what often seem like nonsensical decisions that have to be made due to business or practical constraints. The latter is something that virtually no one likes to do, but often needs to be done in real life.[2] I could go on indefinitely, but I hope a couple of examples will suffice for now.

I got a serious problem with "Naturally, Israel would rather the Syrian government fall.". It betrays deep misunderstanding of what Israel actually wants and what would benefit it (which makes all the rest suspect too). Weak Assad would benefit Israel greatly. Despite all the saber-rattling, Syria would never seriously think of going to war with Israel, because that would mean the end of the current Syrian regime. Helping Hezbollah? Sure. Passing weapons from Iran to whomever that could hurt Israel? No problem. But direct conflict? No way. Cold war is the worst Assad would ever do.

However, everything changes if Assad regime falls and rebels - among which would be such organizations as Syrian Islamic Front or Syrian Islamic Liberation Front, with predictable amount of love for Israel - were to come to power. They would have no experience of losing the war like Assad regime had, and no problem with suffering a bit more of mayhem is it's for the good purpose - after all, that's just what they did right before it and succeeded. And they'd own all munitions that Assad regime had assembled (at least those that left after the war, but there would probably be sizeable amount left, and if not, Putin could help), including WMDs. How there's any benefit for Israel in that?

Israel would be glad to have Assad's ass get some thorough kicking. However, having an explosive unstable government with WMDs on its borders is not exactly one's dream. Israel already has this problem with Lebanon, and it didn't work that well so far. Having second one is really not anybody's wish.

They would be leaps and bounds faster. Especially comparing random IOPS.

Let's just assume they were using a Seagate Cheetah 9LP. That's a 9GB, 10k RPM, 1MB cache UW SCSI disk that was widely available in 1998, for a whopping... $1200 each. $390,000 worth of disks... wow. That could buy 1300 * 4TB SAS drives today with a total raw storage of 5.2PB!

324 * 9LP's would have around 5.5GB/sec of total read/write throughput. That easily beats a single 4TB disk with around 200MB/sec read/write performance and terrible IOPS in comparison to even a single 9LP.

SSDs compare much more favorably here. 10 x 1TB SSDs for ~$6500 could easily reach 5.5GB/sec throughput and triple the capacity of the 324 x 9GB drives.
I agree with your post, except this part, "mimic clinical depression (serotonin/norepinephrine imbalance), or ADHD (dopamine imbalance), generalized anxiety (GABA imbalance), seasonal/chronic fatigue (acetylcholine imbalance), and so on. "

They really don't know what causes anxiety, or clinical depression. The are having a horrid time finding
the true cause of these ailments. If anyone is seeing
a MD who claims to know what causes depression and anxiety
see someone else. It gotten so disappointing in the
research community; very few companies are actively even
looking for the root cause to these horrid diseases.
So many people took these tri, and hetrocyclic drugs for
depression, and if they worked--it was most likely placebo.
Yes--panic attacks, and generalized anxiety respond to
benzodiazepines most of the time, but hey are addictive,
and no researcher who is smart would Not claim to know how they work. I wish you well.

I truly believe the best medicine
is knowing you are going to get better. The placebo effect
is sometimes stronger than any antibiotic. I sometimes
believe the placebo effect is the only verifiable existence
of God? When I am sick, I do a little research on the Internet, but have found it's better to just believe the medicine will work. Oh yea, I try to chose my doctors
well--Board Certified who actually tried to keep current

TFTP is a UDP based file transfer protocol that uses a stop-and-wait and a simple retry loop, if you use only that you risk hitting congestion very fast and having a hard time to fix it.

The suggestions above to use iPXE and switch to TCP transfer methods such as HTTP make a lot of sense in that aspect.
Russian opposition might be supportive of America just because Putin is not. The moment Putin vanishes, the new government will still look up after Russian own interests and not care at all about America.

Lyme is pretty heavy. Three of my family members have it in various stages, one of them really serious. They live in rural Poland where in the forests it is more or less a given that you will contract Lyme at some point in your life. For foresters it is a better-than-even chance that they contract the disease by the time they are 30 even if they are careful, all it takes is one tick that you didn't spot and you get bitten by ticks all the time there.

Lyme disease does not 'make you stupid', but it can make you very ill. One of the possible symptoms is depression, memory loss is another so the symptoms the author describes are very much in the realm of the possible.

If you're ever bitten by a tick and you see a bulls-eye pattern around the bite get yourself to a doctor and make sure you are prescribed anti-biotics right away, do not wait (for instance until your holiday is over). I can't emphasize this enough. I don't like anti-biotics for many reasons when they are used without a good reason but Lyme disease is no picnic and the earlier you deal with it the better your chances of complete recovery. Wait too long and you're in for a world of trouble, in case you think I'm exaggerating please read the wikipedia page on Lyme disease or have a chat with my brother in law whose life is pretty much determined by Lyme in a very advanced stage.

Really? I plug mine into ethernet whenever I can. Even on 5Ghz the unpredictable latency can really impact things, particularly NFS. For example, rsnapshot backups that take 10 minutes on ethernet take upwards of 5 or 6 hours on wifi. It's not a bandwidth issue, it's appears to be latency with lots of small files.

Note: I'm using an 802.11ac router and a laptop with a Centrino 6300 chipset. I have the 5Ghz spectrum all to myself. For bulk transfers I get consistent speeds of close to 100Mbit.
yeah, my post was general (I just replied to your last post, didn't infer context from your previous one). But anyway, the numbers still work out at any income level -- if you invest 20% if your income at 8% for 23 years, you can then live off the savings for the next 40 years (assuming you withdraw from your savings 80% of your income level, which is the amount you were living off previously, and that the savings still nets you 8% annually). So if you are making 20,000, and invest 4,000 a year (20%), your are living off of 16,000. Then after 23 years, you can withdraw 16,000 from savings for the next 40 years.

This is simplified ignoring taxes, and also not counting for inflation (you'd want to work for 30 years to be able to draw enough extra to cover inflation -- however your contributions will be increasing during that 30 years since hopefully your pay goes up faster than inflation).

Yes, dumping a huge diff of all the changes they've made to their internal LLVM project today would definitely be the right thing to do; I'd guess it's on the order of at least hundreds of thousands of lines of code. What Apple are doing here is making sure it can be cleanly added to where LLVM has got to outside Apple, and not just saying "hey, you want our code? Well here it is, you try and make it work!" Yes this takes longer, but, as they say, it's the right way to do things with an open source project used commercially.
Networking is the most important. I built my first website for the small company I was employed. At one point a customer contacted my boss about who built the website, and he referred to me. (Which I'm still grateful for!). The next client: also within my network. Once you've done a few gigs, people will find you for work if you're good at it. Which brings me to the next point:

Underpromise and overdeliver. Always.

Just doing a good job isn't enough for people to reference for you. You have to be better than they expect. Client asks for two designs to choose from within two weeks? You give him three designs in one week, and tell them which one you like the best and why. That kind of stuff. Once you've secured the project, be communicative about progress and (especially) delays. This all may sound simplistic, but it would surprise you how many big shot agencies don't do these things.

Odesk/Elance? It's not working for me. I'd rather make a website for free for someone I know personally, with the intent of building a network and a portfolio, than building a website for a couple of tenners for someone on the other side of the planet.

I don't find using the Colemak-shuffled hjkl comfortable, so I have `:set langmap=li,ko,hn,je,nh,ej,ik,ol,LI,KO,JE,EJ,IK,OL` in my .vimrc to make Vim usable for me on Colemak. Besides restoring the home row navigation, it moves the keys one key right into the qwerty jkl;, which is the neutral home row position. The problem with this is that langmap is a somewhat advanced option, and isn't supported by every Vim-like product, such as the Visual Studio Vim plugin.

I know that, what I meant was that I'm not seeing much evidence that they're deadly afraid of it. Maybe it's a mistake to judge by console games which have reasonably strong anti-piracy protection, to the point that I've never regarded the getting a fake as a serious possibility. For PC games that's much harder to enforce, but I haven't bought a PC game in years - as I don't play games much and it's a leisure activity rather than a lifestyle, I prefer ones that I can play from the couch rather than at my desk.
I'm am concerned by this.

Specifically with this linked site, Crohns and Colitis are not the same diseases and have different treatments, yet the data is lumped together, this is irresponsible.

Secondly the masses are now always right, this can easily fall into a movement of bad advice and skewed product ratings without oversight by the maintainers, actual doctors, and research with peer review.

For the record I've done a lot of research on Colitis (peer journals, specialists), there is nothing in the link that provides anything that a doctor isn't going to tell you within the first 5 minutes medication wise. I have had a friend die from a Colitis flare up, and 2 others with severe cases, one of whom is in the hospital right now, to suggest that taking Vitamin-B and not drinking beer will help is to be honest, ridiculous.

repeating my question: is it possible to edit it ?
I think it can be explained pretty easily, even if necessarily generalizing.

Model is a representation of the data of your domain and behavior imminently related to this data. I.e. what is "user" and what it means to "create a user"? What does it mean to "find most active users"? The name is because it "models" the domain by representing it as an abstract interface.

Controller is a representation of the rules of when and which models are invoked and which actions are performed. I.e. when we would "create a user"? When we would need to "find most active users"? The name is because it "controls" the models, telling them what to do.

View is how the information presented to the end consumer and how the consumer interacts with it. I.e. what it means to actually show "most active users" to the end consumer? The name is because end consumer "views" it.

Of course, this explanation without actual experience of how such systems are designed and behave does not make a newbie magically able to design complex systems flawlessly. No amount of name changing would. But explaining how this approach works doesn't seem that hard to me.
