I've just made the same move, feel free to get in touch if you have any more questions! I've only been here for about 3 weeks so far, so don't have much data, but €500/month for living costs seems easy.

Rent, depending on what you want, is probably about 80% of what you pay for a comparable flat in London. You can probably get 2 bedrooms (+living room) with all the bills included for about €800. Just be prepared for seriously unfurnished flats: sometimes you need to get your own kitchen! Also it apparently takes a lot more time and paperwork than in London to find something - people say 3-4 months is normal and I'm still looking.

Good luck!
There was news yesterday about Apple talking about a fix in the works: http://mashable.com/2014/01/22/iphone-screen-of-death/

How about introducing them to ComputerCraft (http://www.computercraft.info/)?

If they already like Minecraft, they'll probably have a blast with it, and learn programming at the same time.
Can you specify domain wildcards in Content-Security-Policy script-src?

Yes. You may. http://www.w3.org/TR/CSP/#source-list See the host ABNF grammar.

I haven't read much about 1.1 but as far as I know nounce and hash added to 1.1 is to deal with whitelisting inline scripts.

edit remember that the support of 1.1 is relatively low and incomplete as the webappsec group is voting on whether moving it to WD (working draft or not). So for cross-browser compatibility, you are still better off with 1.0 which is at this point very stable in major browsers.

It's not that it randomly shuts off, it's that the batteries drain incredibly quickly and the battery % indicator becomes inaccurate. I often see my 5 go from 60% to 40% to 15% to off in less than 60 seconds. The Apple site ran diags on my phone and confirmed the battery had reached "failure" status, but without AppleCare, the warranty only lasts 1 year and the service is nearly $100.

The iPhone 5 is sort of a reverse antenna-gate: instead of realizing how badly made the phone was at launch, we didn't realize it until the iPhone 5S was out, and nobody cares if the "old" model has issues.
A little off-topic, but how hard is it for a US citizen interested in having lived in two countries in his life to get a dev job in the EU? I imagine most devs that come in from another country are coming from at least within the EU, and I was just wondering how unheard-of my case would be.

I don't really care for the reaction to this. While I support the guy's cause, sending an email to every person on campus is not appropriate use of University IT resources and they were correct to suspend his email account for a time, regardless of the content of the message.

What confuses me is why the All-Students, All-Faculty, etc distribution lists were open to be sent to by anyone (or at least, by faculty?). That was a much bigger mistake, IMO.
I got to know Linda in business school in 2005. I worked on a big group assignment with her for a year. She's got this natural joy about her that if feel she can inpire anyone about anything.

She founded Rails Girls in 2010 and joined Code Academy a few years ago so she has way more experience introducing people to programming than she does on doing illustrations.

I believe getting people inspired is the best way to get them to learn. My two cents is that she was inspired by _why's work and tries take that approach further.
It would be a clear science argument if there weren't groups that are very motivated (money, power) to misdirect the public by making "doubts" for their own gains, as the article clearly illustrates.

There is a practical scientific consensus that the current global warming is real and caused by the human activity. The illusion of "maybe yes maybe no" (quasi-religious doubts) can come only from the media who give the equal attention to the one doubter and to the group of almost all world's scientist.

In the internet speak, the deniers are successfully trolling the public.

I thought that picture of an advert from the 'Heartland institute' near the bottom of the page was a hilarious albeit overdone joke.

So I assumed it was a joke, and such transparent and patronising adverts could never have been dreamed up. However it does look like that was a planned advert, luckily the campaign was canned. I'm still kind of amazed!

Lived one year in London and 5 years in Berlin. In general rent is much cheaper in Berlin. So with £425 you can find a good apartment. It depends a bit on the area, how much space and what kind of extras you need. Check out immobilienscout24.de, immonet.de or immowelt.de

Living costs are in general also cheaper. Take a look for Aldi or Lidl for cheap grocery. You can safe there up to 50%. With £700 a month you won't have any problems.
From the FAQ: "But, there are certain spots on HIV that rarely mutate, and these are the same highly specific targets that controller immune systems already recognize naturally. Our vaccine trains your immune system to attack those weak spots so that the virus is crippled even when it mutates. In other words, our vaccine shows the prime targets to your immune system so that it does not have to waste time and energy trying to figure out which ones are the best points of attack."

How does the vaccine train your immune system? My (very limited) understanding of vaccines is that you would normally train the immune system to target these weak spots by creating an antibody that would bind to said weak spot. But from elsewhere on the page, it says that the project isn't working on an antibody approach. What am I missing?
What happens when the dependencies have bugfixes or security flaws? Why is it better to spread the responsibility for updates over all Go authors instead of to the authors of the libraries in question?
You're in the EU, which is not trapped. You're having "grass is greener" syndrome. Americans envy Europeans for their 5 weeks of vacation and high-quality healthcare. (All taken, the EU package is better.) I don't think Europeans have US envy in general, but NYC and the Valley (which are world capitals that happen to be in the US) still have a draw. Even still... I think you're exaggerating the appeal.

Sturgeon's Law: 90 Percent of Everything Is Crap. It's true in Italy, I'd imagine. It's also true in the Valley. For everyone founding an exciting startup, there are hundreds of cubicle drones at places like Oracle. Coming to the US and working in the Valley won't automatically make life amazing.

Anyway, the Valley is a really shitty place (suburban purgatory) to be unless (a) you attend Stanford or (b) you're a venture-funded founder or VC. Without (a) or (b) you're likely to find the same anonymous corporate grind you can find in small-town Pennsylvania (where I originally come from) or a conservative, risk-averse European city.

If you find a specific job in the US then, by all means, come over. But my advice in general would be to find something of quality in the EU; it's probably easier for you, right now, to do that than to find quality in the US. You're not "trapped" just because TechCrunch and Valleywag aren't interested in covering the companies in countries accessible to you (the whole EU, I believe). Anyway, most of those VC darling companies are awful places to work. You probably over-value the Valley startup scene because you read too much HN. Most of the startups in the U.S. (yes, even in the Valley) are also hellish, overly bureaucratic for their size, and dominated by conservative MBA culture.

If you end up in a job that's "bureaucratic" after college, fine. Learn what you can. Use it as an opportunity to learn about people and how they work together. Figure out why it sucks. Keep the technical skills sharp and continue getting better at solving problems. Expect it to take years before any of this pays off. That's how it is for most people in the real world.

Good luck.

Look the bright side, automation is the reason everyone in the first world now live like the 1% of the third world, as well as the 1% from any human history.

How to fiddling through the coming automation without unrest the society is the only question, before our next generation all live like the 1% of today's first world someday in the future.

Automation, not war, should be the only force to propel civilization and living standard. Instead of minimum wage, minimum welfare would be a feasible answer to the future.
Common Pitfalls Of Code Metrics
This is why literally every contract nowadays includes the legal boilerplate that says so. To quote from our contract:

"Die Zahlung von Gratifikationen, Tantiemen, Prämien und sonstigen Leistungen liegt im freien Ermessen des Arbeitgebers und begründet keinen Rechtsanspruch, auch wenn die Zahlung wiederholt ohne ausdrücklichen Vorbehalt der Freiwilligkeit erfolgte. Etwas anderes gilt nur dann, wenn die Zahlung durch Betriebsvereinbarung oder Tarifvertrag geregelt ist."

If your contract does not include that boilerplate your employer had a shitty lawyer and should fire him.

Edit: fixed Umlauts which were broken by c&p
According to a libertarian friend of mine, if you raise the minimum wage, jobs will get offshored or replaced with automation. I told him good luck with his new robot McDonald's in India.

Basically, any job that can be automated will be automated, as soon as it's feasible. This has been going on for millennia, ever since the first genius learned to herd goats rather than hunt them. People just have a very narrow definition of "automate". We don't plow our fields or harvest our crops by hand anymore, leading to massive reductions in farm employment over the past 100 years. But we don't think of tractors as "robots", so it gets ignored.

I have this saying that drives my whole career's thinking... "Have computers do what computers do well, have humans do what humans do well." Computers are wonderful about performing precision tasks perfectly, at incredible speeds. But they are terrible at making decisions in the face of incomplete data. They can be programmed to sort of simulate it, but it's not the same. Meanwhile, humans are incredible at making correct decisions using incomplete or incorrect data, but it's almost impossible to get them to do the same thing the same way twice in a row.

So the jobs that will last are the ones that require decision-making in the face of incomplete/incorrect data. The jobs that will be automated are the precision, repeatable tasks.

This is excellent. You're on to something, why not write more?
Of course it is, this is an online pool. The assumption that a uniform sample of developers from Berlin would vote for this is absolutely ridiculous. It scares me that so many educated developers consider this to of any significance.
> He added, “It won’t stick…. Because it’s clearly false, and the American people are smarter than politicians think they are.”

He's wrong, it will stick. What makes it stick is not which story is told first, its the one that's being told the most.
In the end the media will just be beating this story to absolute pulp and most Americans will probably respond with absolute apathy towards the whole thing.

In EU we're just getting a good kick out of a classic spy story, and hope the protagonist wins.

In the U.S. people are constantly drawn between two strongman caliber opinions of what it means to be a true patriot. The "traitor" thing usually ticks off a lot folks, and imho will just more quickly draws them towards that side of the argument, just to be save.

How Can I Fall Asleep Faster?
Checking dependencies into my repositories is worse. It hugely increases friction for upgrades (which means fewer people will do it) and pushes monitoring for updates down onto the consumer rather than the maintainer (which means some people will forget and get owned).

This is the problem that Maven, RubyGems, etc. have fixed for so very long that I find it really hard to take Go seriously when this is floated as a solution. And that seems to be a regular occurrence in Go: the willing championing of bad but "simple" solutions (error codes as far as the eye can see!) under the mistaken assumption that things are complex just to be complex rather than that they're complex because they solve a bigger problem.
I think the most important thing is to make sure they have an ample library of software for the machine .. in my case, we have almost everything that was ever developed for the Oric/Atmos, and recently got it set up so that its very, very easy for the kids to play with ..

My kids complained about 'not having enough dots on the display' and "why are there no good games on it - like Super Mario", but once I showed them a few of the classics (Manic Miner, Jet Set Willy), they got right into it.

Most important of all, however: play with the machine with your kids, too. This is a great way to get them interested - you do the typing, they do the reading. ;)

Good luck!
Supermicro yes, and you can actually buy Intel branded servers too. We've had really good experiences with Intel dual socket 1U and 4-in-1 2U systems.
This takes me back 10 years. Yep, I switched to FB at one point. But it took the route of C++ (I mean literally, they just started copying lots of C++ features and syntax). That's something I want to spare my son from.

The thing that worries be sounds like something out of a bad dystopian sci-fi novel.

What if the super rich are the ones who get the most advantage out of the automation and use it to keep the rest of the poor under control, I'm talking Ghetto's with automated riot control.

I'd think such things where unthinkable but if you look at the history of a company like Nestle nothing would surprise me.
A bit off topic, but I don't frequent CNET much, and was pleasantly surprised to see Sumi Das in the video and as the author of the article.

She was a correspondent on ZDTV/TechTV, which I watched constantly in its day. It may be the first time I've run across something of hers since then.
You make an explicit, knowledgable decision to update the dependency, like you should be doing with all software in a production environment.
Also you can use the sign of a point on the normal for no z-buffer.

those answering less than 20k euro, how did you manage to get paid that low. To me coming from denmark, that more sound as if it's a monthly salary compared to "starter-salary" in denmark which is 35k DKK or 4,7k euro a month.
I didn't mean to say that they can't do whatever they want, or that they're incapable of helping the world. But if the investor does not expect his investment back, then that would make it a donation, which - as far as I can tell from the article - this is not.

Is it possible to depend on a named branch on a remote git path? Because, with some sensible conventions, that would be a suitable way to manage dependencies.

(i.e. if you change your major version, start a new branch. if you change your minor version, start a new branch but continue to update the old one also. Actually, without tool support, that's going to get painful, but the idea is sound and requires only local tooling.)
.... Big pharma ...
I've been experiencing this lately. For me, it's when the phone gets down to around 30% or less and it almost always happens when I'm using it and doing something that would require data like sending a message. It seems to happen more if that message has a photo in it or something that would seem on the surface to need more battery to get it done.

The other strange thing is that for the next 10-15 minutes I can't restart the phone if I don't plug it in to a power source. I get the "plug it in" graphic when I try. But then after a while it realizes that battery is in fact not fully drained and starts back up with the previously displayed percentage.

I'm guessing this is something where the battery voltage dips enough during a high draw period and tricks the phone in to thinking it's completely drained and in response shuts itself down.
when will it end?
The problem is that they are selling the business instead of adjusting it's structure to bring it inline with the levels of profits they are confortable with.

The profits fell over the years because of 'disruptors', IBM could't accept the losses so they decided to sell. It happened 10 years ago in the PC, now it's happening with low end servers, maybe in 10 years high end servers are not going to be profitable for IBM any more and they are going to get rid of them.
Anybody that wants to learn about shorting a stock and what valuation means, this is a great list of companies to start.

In 5 years the valuation of this entire list will be 10% of it's current value.

It used to be called a pump and dump and it was something that legitimate firms didn;t participate in.

Nowadays making up overly positive press releases to manipulate people into thinking a stock is going somewhere (beyond off the brokers balance sheet) is called "social media".

The only people that make money are the VC, wall street and the others that get the inside information and the IPO at a decent price.

We are moving from a world where everyone has to work to one where no one can work. From closed allocation and hierarchical control to open allocation and a decentralized control structure. This process will probably take a long time, and to the point, machines have not been shown to be better than humans at taking away human fear. Like a nurse does for a terminal patient. Certainly any pattern recognition job will go in the next decade or so, be it paralegal, general practitioner, or accountant.
The only downside of Strict-Transport-Security is that you must have at least visited the HTTPS endpoint once.

Copy the new version into the repository, run the import rewriting script and check it in.

> Why is it better to spread the responsibility for updates over all Go authors instead of to the authors of the libraries in question?

Because you want to have full control over your dependencies. What if the author introduces a breaking change or removes the repository from the internet? Do you want to risk your business by being at the mercy of someone else's repository?
I want to give him the most frictionless experience getting started. And Python has plenty of dark corners that he might run into pretty quickly. Plus I want to spare him from significant whitespace for a while (but significant newlines are fine). That's why I was envisioning something like Ruby but a little simpler.

I can imagine a script that's just a few lines that downloads go-gettable dependencies and updates import paths. You run it at exactly the time you want to update.

By a large margin, I spend the least amount of time configuring my Go packages for release than for any other language.
