If you can get the job contract, it's very easy. There are a couple documents you need (e.g. work contract, local residency registration, flat contract, tax registration, proof of german health insurance [which is a special letter written from the health insurance company to the Ausländerbehörde]), but basically if you have a contract and you're a skilled worker, they'll grant you residency.

The employer may have to prove, as they did with me, that no one else in the EU could fill the job as well as you can. So they'd have to put up a listing for a certain time before you could have the job. If possible, I'd arrive in Germany with a certain job offer as opposed to being sure you can find one within your three month tourist visa period.

The more difficult part would be that people who work in foreigner's office and all other government offices (I had to go to at least three different offices), as a rule, don't speak English. And you'll visit the Ausländerbehörde itself at least three times, and they will give you instructions, orally, in German, on what to do/where to go next.

Further, just as a rule, you will need to learn German in order to feel comfortable in your day to day life in the country and to integrate. Many tech companies say that you don't need to know German to work in Berlin -- though your workplace may operate in English, the rest of your life won't. Learning the German language is much more difficult than getting residency itself.

Let me know if you have any more questions. I moved from the US to Germany for a technical job about 6 months ago so I remember full well the procedure.
Why would you post an outright lie like that? Anyone can read the discussion and see multiple mailing list postings from RMS himself confirming the "conspiracy theory" is in fact reality. Quite an odd concept of debunking.
I don't mean to be critical, and maybe I'm missing a UI element, but charts that cannot be scaled on the X axis (i.e. select a timeframe) are not very useful.
How Connectify is Using Docker to Build its Switchboard Cloud
Docker open source containers are taking the hosting world by storm. Connectify has analyzed how Docker changes the hosting game, and fundamentally reduces the value of Amazon EC2.

This post makes me want to move from back end coding to front end or full stack.

It seems like those guys have much more fun now more of the cross browser pain has been abstracted away.
You might not be that far away from that time. With all the recent asm.js and WebGl advancements, it might be just a matter of time some of the existing desktop GUI frameworks get ported to web.

Just imagine Qt markup rendered by your browser and glued by Javascript.
They aren't, that's the whole point of it. Increase Android's (or any other competition that isn't Apple or Windows Phone) Total Cost of Ownership, by adding layer after layer of frivolous patent licensing.

Now Microsoft and Apple even own their own patent troll (Rockstar Bidco) and they plan (or already have) made plans to split the patents over many shell companies, which can pass the patents along to each other like a merry-go-round, giving each plenty opportunities to sue a company time after time.

Android has a low cost of ownership at the moment which makes it interesting for OEMs. If Apple, Microsoft, Rockstar Bidco or any other trolls keep on attacking Android, the balance will tip over back to Microsoft for the 'accessible' OS that OEMs will want to license (or risk patent attacks of the likes of giant trolls like Rockstar Bidco), opening the door for them to claim all the ground that Android had to cede, and give or take a few years you'd get the same thing as on the Desktop: Apple small marketshare but high profitability, Microsoft high marketshare which compensates less profit margins. But the open mobile development spirit will be dead, as worst case it'll be a minefield with more trolls than innovators, as the former will deplete the market they're in until it's no longer profitable.

Oracle went after the development (break the programming language -> break the platform),
Apple went after Samsung (break their biggest manufacturer -> break the platform)
Microsoft went after the other OEMs, a bit more stealthy, but they too have attacked Motorola, HTC directly or through subsidiaries. (Patent tax the OEMs -> force them off Android to their own OS)

Anyway, that's how I see it, and it's not getting any prettier anytime soon. Alas, this is all perfectly 'legal'. So I foresee much more lawsuits that'll strangle innovation and limit mobile software development to the 'happy few', unless the USPTO changes (unlikely) or SCOTUS comes up with a solution to this unholy mess.
Surely after 12M years, the bullet will have rusted to dust in-flight? :)

That one was established by court order, and the only way you can opt out of it is by switching to a small ISP.

Video formats can be weird.

I think there is (at least) one factual error in the blog post; 16-235 range was not chosen because of CRTs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rec._709#Digital_representation

In that light I'd also claim that the expansion to full-range of values is probably one of the smallest advantages of xvYCC. The wider gamut is significantly more important.

Also if when watching video files you notice that blacks do not look very black, then you should change your video player. As the aforementioned wikipedia article says, value 16 is intended to represent pure black in Rec709 colorspace.

It wasn't really a comparative claim. Email also sucks on most other platforms. The possible exception is iOS- the iOS7 Mail.app, Mailbox, and Mail Pilot are all actually good (rather than least bad) options.
That sounds really interesting, and I've often wanted to do something similar myself. Do you have plans for a convenient curses-based interface, so I don't have to type stuff out or press enter all the time?

I believe part of the reason is that by suing Samsung, with direct (and substantial) revenue and profits from these devices it is more straightforward for Apple to demonstrate both infringement and damages. The case probably also becomes more straightforward for a jury. In addition, (though this may not be as much of factor here as Apple is simultaneously suing most of the Android device manufacturers) IP lawsuits often begin by targeting weaker parties with a greater chance of victory to establish early precedents before taking on larger or more difficult cases.
I appreciate the perspective of a person who identifies as Marxist.

I'm not a Marxist but I've been struggling to articulate why I believe this sort of protesting is counterproductive. For one thing, their complaints are not actionable-- they're co-opting a grab-bag of leftist, luddite terminology and the end result rounds down to a primal scream. I don't live in SF, but it seems to me that the horse is out of the barn: SF has changed irrevocably and it will never go back to what it was. I suspect they know this on some level.

A large subset of tech workers have libertarian leanings, to be sure, but there's a strong leftist/liberal bent, as well. More than a lot of other well-off folks, I'd expect tech workers to be allies. Regardless, though, they're/we're not going to consider ourselves evil just because someone says so. The incentives are simple and compelling: we get paid well for doing work we ostensibly enjoy. They want "techies" to go away because we're ruining everything but the only way to make that work at any scale is highly, highly questionable-- shit like violence and/or intimidation, in other words.

I'm sympathetic to the protesters' feeling of disenfranchisement, but it's increasingly difficult for me to remain sympathetic. The top tier tech companies can't undo the last few decades of Bay Area history. Gentrification is not a solved problem, but density seems to be one way to go. That involves compromise. My sense is that these folks feel entitled enough to claim ownership over SF such that I'd expect a rather cool response to compromise.

Anyway, thanks for speaking up.
Cool project! I wonder if you'd get similar perf from CPUs if you could used Intel's ISPC compiler[0] with the same GPU algorithms. I've found that GPU algorithms also perform substantially better on plain old CPUs, IMO because they use memory bandwidth more effectively.

I too would like to see how far those PCI Express busses can be pushed. :)

BTW We're adopting Intel's DPDK[1] approach to get massive packet processing performance on a single machine. So far we're liking it, but we'll see as it's not in production yet.

That site takes its Doge price from http://www.cryptocoincharts.info/#jump-doge-btc (and seems to underquote it too) and the Bitcoin price is taken from bitcoinaverage. Anyhow, this a great first effort. I'd use it to tweet out on @dogeprice as I am doing already with @btcprice. This is a really hot market at present. It's also full of opportunities. Dig in Shibes.
I guess this is yet another reason not to rely on firewalls and outdated notions of "internal" and "external" networks for any kind of real security.

Increasingly, it seems that firewalls are doing less to improve actual security, while continuing to hinder legitimate network connectivity and the deployment of new protocols.

Most are more authoritarian than leftist, but they are all way more leftist than the U.S. government.

Argentina, for example, has nationalized the oil companies (YPF), and price-fixes and subsidies most utilities, and has started price-fixing food.

Uruguay has also on a lower scale tried price fixing.

Both, plus Brazil, have extensive welfare programs (with the dual purpose of capturing vote for the ruling parties of course).

Such things are typically characterized as leftist.

You can't run a debugger when you don't have room on the embedded device for the debugger. You can't run one if you don't have communication with the device (if you're installing code by physically inserting ROM chips in sockets, and don't have a serial port or ethernet connection to it.

And you can only run a debugger with great difficulty if your system is handling real time events, and if the debugger hits a breakpoint, you mess up the timing so that the behavior from that point on is completely changed. You might be able to get the information that the breakpoint triggered, and what the variables are at that point in time, but you can't continue from there and see how execution proceeds.

Man, everytime I read more about this, I lose a little more of my sympathy for these protesters. They sound more and more like a bunch of whack nut-jobs in every article.

I don't disagree that they have some valid concerns, but they aren't doing themselves any favors with this over-the-top stuff. In fact, I suspect they are unintentionally setting themselves up as "the bad guys" in this story.

I can't help but think the protesters should take a long, hard look at who their leadership is, and find somebody new.

Yes. But Microsoft will indemnify their customers (and license or take on the complainant in court) I believe (I'm not party to those contracts so that may be wrong) unlike Google with it's Android customers.
They probably do it, but Google is at fault, too. Their new DASH thing has made the experience so much poorer. They never should've done it to begin with, and I don't think whatever savings in bandwidth they might have from it are worth the compromise.

Youtube was perfect before, because it allowed you to cache videos, and go back on the videos whenever you wanted, with no need for reloading or whatever. DASH made it a much worse experience, at it only caches like a few seconds at most in front of the streaming, and it won't even allow you to go back in the video without reloading it again.

I really want to love Unibox. I used it full-time for a week or so. But I just seriously cannot get over the way it deals (or rather, doesn't deal) with folders and labels. If I put something in a folder or archive it, it disappears from the people-centric UI, and there's not an easy way to drilldown through folders. Also, things like group messages are super awkward with the people-centric thing.

If you like the interface and concept, I would definitely recommend Unibox over Mail Pilot- it's more polished in general. But it's a very opinionated mail client and I really couldn't get over its opinions.

Someone who knows what they're talking about. It may be boring, but the fact of the matter is that AMD doesn't have the resources to make a Steamroller-based Opteron.

That's a really simplistic speculation. VMware management is considerably more measured than that. VMware has had an End-User-Computing units for years now. With more computing done on mobile and less on PCs, it stands to reason that VMware would like to move in that direction too for their EUC group, especially if the disruption upends the entrenched position Citrix has had on the PC.

I've never understood the idea that math is not necessary for software development... It bothers me, math is not just useful but just taken for granted... pointer offsets require addition, looping requires counting - doing useful things in software almost always requires math... it might be super simple math, but it's math... Also typically the hard problems the ones that people will benefit from in software does require advanced math, e.g. machine learning.

If you're chugging out html or css maybe you have used math to calculate an offset?

If you're working in a database maybe you've thought about the intersection of a set of two related collections of data?

Math is used and pretty darn necessary for programming. You are probably just taking it for granted.
