I'm not sure that is a material change in circumstance. If it was actual terrorist materials that he was carrying, or drugs/whatever, the relevant UK law would have applied in the same way.

You are attempting to board a plane in the UK, and the same tests apply to a simple change of flight as they do to passenger flying from the UK.

Out of interest, if he had in fact stolen them from the UK (in the same way Snowdon did) would you object to his being stopped? What if it were Snowdon himself on his way to Russia?

I think the only argument I can see is that after the leak the documents should have been declassified? Since they were in the public domain. Sort of. I can't get a copy of them though so I don't see that being totally applicable.

Escaping to the country isn't a good plan. During the financial crisis of 2008 I thought it be a good idea to read about the financial crisis of Argentina during the 2001 crash and what it ment to students/poor people, the middle class in "Surviving Argentina". In short: "On the country-side" no one can hear you scream. A lot of sh*t went down. The books a good read, I even took up the some of the advice and now no longer need lenses or glasses with build-in contact-lenses inside my eye. My house is strengtened as well, and I studied Krav Maga for a few years. Always nice to know a little bit. I liked the first lesson: If you can walk away out of a situation, do it and screw your "honor".

For PC games, Hard copies return roughly 40-45% of the title to the publisher.

I do not know what the breakdown of costs are on consoles, but I assume both Sony and MS still get a cut of the sales.

Consider that the bulk of a game's sales will be realized during the first week, and the rapid time to discount, it's no wonder T2 decided to pull the cord on Irrational Games.

Wow. Information/knowledge is one click away. I highly advise Google.
My point was that with dynamic libraries at fixed memory addresses, dynamic linking information can be cached (as long as no binaries are updated). That would imply similar efficiency as for static libraries.

Post author here. I think that's more common in consumer startups without a clear path to revenue and profitability. I know it happens in the B2B world as well, but I don't believe anyone thinks 42Floors, Cratejoy, AirBnB, Square, or Casetext are on their way to an acqui-hire. It's certainly not our plan.

Buying from startups is not without risk. But buying from large vendors also carries risk. A diverse set of suppliers is a good thing.
My family is from rural eastern Washington, and we have a cabin that is about as "off the grid" as you can be while still having any kind of modern comforts. We've got an outhouse (a septic tank as well, but let's leave that out because of the maintenance piece, even though it was installed and has been maintained by family members for years now), a well, tons of electric blankets and really basic winterization, and enough room on the sleeping porch for 5 beds. There are also plenty of weapons there since it was built at the turn of the century and has been used by avid hunters for nearly 100 years now. We've got two generators and every tool imaginable (accumulated over years of visitors bringing/buying what we need to fix/upgrade the place)

We'd need solar panels (which don't pay off nearly as fast in a forest that has a brutal winter) or a windmill (surprised this wasn't listed as an electricity option - some neighbors up there have one, and while it isn't a replacement for modern electricity usage, it more than powers their electricity when they aren't there - a good start), and land for growing our own food (although it is in a forest with lax hunting laws that has wild edible vegetation, and on a lake filled with fish, some predictability would be valuable).

That's the original cabin. The new, more modern one that we built recently has an indoor fireplace and better winterization, but it likely requires more electricity and is connected to a public water source (should be easily remedied post-apocalypse since it is right on a lake).
On the other hand, I believe the product will not deactivate. So, if Version 2 is released on the last day of your subscription and you upgrade and let your subscription lapse, and version 3 is released 8 months later and you renew then, you sort of got a pass on the "down time" whereas active subscriptions would not.

I'll add that they also have an individual license program. IntelliJ idea is $199 instead of $499. Rubymine and PhpStorm are $99 instead of $199. It's a great deal.

All reasonable points that I agree with. It presumes, though, that the companies you are interested in turn out to be as respectful of candidates as you are of selecting them and complying with their hoops. This thread is full of anecdotes about (predominantly SV) companies who disrespect candidates by misrepresenting their hiring process, setting up meaningless hoops, rejecting candidates after hours or days of work for nebulous "culture fit" reasons, or simply going silent in the middle of the process. If you are a candidate who has invested multiple hours multiple times for disrespectful companies like these, you would probably develop the attitude fsk posted about. Its a bad place to get into, and unfair to both the candidate and the companies who do respect their candidates. Unfortunately, aside from the rumor mill I don't know how to tell which companies are respectful and which aren't until after investing multiple hours into the process.

The middle figure in the picture is János Áder, president of Hungary. The image was created by a Hungarian blogger/artist named szarvas:
http://szarvas.tumblr.com/image/76316693473

The news portal index.hu regularly republishes his work, this is where the confusion may have originated from:
http://index.hu/szarvas/2014/02/11/ader_alair/
you can see the post among other posts here:
http://index.hu/szarvas/

Here is a thread where a commenter points out how photo manipulation is frowned upon by professional photographers on their forum, and they can't believe "how a political journalist can do this while a war correspondent can't draw smoke near an explosion.", linking to his republished image on index.hu.

Of course szarvas is not a political journalist, he is a funny guy with a tumblr:
http://szarvas.tumblr.com/post/76316693473/nyomomneki-lvnte-...

I wonder how the article talks about clues detectable only by applying filters to the image, yet misses the most obvious sign of retouching: the middle figure's knees, the blur around them can be seen with the naked eye, not to mention the irregular shape.

Regarding the other conclusion of the article (the outline around Orban and Putin seen in the histogram image), to me it simply looks like sharpening. I may be wrong.

Purchased IntelliJ IDEA 12 for Java/JEE dev (personal license) last fall - and I will never return to Eclipse again (Used Eclipse for 6 years since Europa). I love this IDE and would recommend it to any Java developer.
Quitting sounds like it could be the right choice, modulo some real-life constraints. One of which might be, if it's your very first job, not staying for at least 6 - 12 months. There's some value to putting in those dues, you'll learn for sure what you dislike. But after that...

A lot of people are suggesting to stick it out, learn from what's there, make the best of it, etc. But this advice is lazy at best, and maximizes regret at worst. You see, this could be applied to almost any job, even within software engineering. Because this advice implies that anyone can be fulfilled at any job, it implies to favor the default option of sticking where you ended up, which was made at a time where you had less information and experience. Worse, it may imply that somebody else has authority over your opinion or "tastes", if you will - you ought to like this job, so find something you like there! Because otherwise, your unhappiness is your own damn fault (which it really is, but not the way others mean).

No. Here's what you do. Before you discount it and consider quitting, consider the following:

1) What kind of work would you ideally be doing at this organization that would make you want to stay?

2) Speak with your manager or someone relevant, to figure out what conditions need to be met until you can do the work in 1.

3) Is the path to get there too painful? Pain is relative, and the way to find out is to research other jobs you could be starting in the next month. You can do this on weekends, everyday after work, whatever. It's important, so you'll make time.

I'm trying to advocate that there's nothing wrong with having taste and preferring something else, or simply disliking what you have. But instead of going too far in that direction and just up and leaving, be smart about it and do your homework. At least then you can be more confident that you made the right decision (stay/go) rather than following some blanketed advice based on responses to your limited detail post on your situation.

Hope this helps.
The article doesn't spend much time on it, but it does mention the necessity of weapons to defend yourself. I read the article more about living off the grid today, which would set you up better than the vast majority of those should the apocalypse come to pass. It's pretty much impossible to totally remove yourself from the grid without moving to the country in the modern era.

You're right that this may not be the best possible disaster prep if you are simply preparing for disaster (and don't plan on going off the grid unless totally necessary).
We've reached a point in time when we can start actually faking history

...again. We're always getting better at faking history, because our creative tools are always a step ahead of the forensic tools. A few centuries ago it was easy for a skilled craftsman to make fake Roman antiquities/medieval manuscripts/whatever, and not so easy to detect the fraud by analysis of the pigmentation in paint or ink, for example.
The most famous example I know of is the guy who implemented a FizzBuzz test and thereby eliminated the vast majority of programmers who otherwise appeared qualified on paper and in person. I don't have the link handy but I think it was covered in codinghorror.com.

>Isn't it logical that after 10+ years of making things also possible on BSD, we now have Linux as main focus?

Sure. But then don't keep lying and pretending it is portable. If you are writing linux only software then don't get mad when BSD people call it linux only software.
Your points are valid, its not a total replacement to the console, and is a wrapper around Boto.

There are several reasons that we use this:

* 'Template' out our infrastructure. If us-east-1 is ever down, we can easily re-create and spin up in us-west or wherever we'd like.

* If us-east-1 ever goes offline (a-la hurricane sandy), we have a record of what size/how many resources we had in production. Especially helpful since our infrastructure is dynamic. We add autoscale groups as we gain customers.

* We can easily foriegn key models in other apps in our project to an Autoscale group/ELB's etc. Ex: a customer is assigned to a particular autoscale group or load balancer.

* The loss in accuracy is acceptable, as we don't use every feature of AWS, so we only (at this point) have built out the necessary features.
Isn't the modern thing to do buying the startup themselves?

> Re temp_buffers: 'Sets the maximum number of temporary buffers used by each database session.' For us it practically means per connection. Not for you?

It means that potentially every connection may at some point use this amount of memory, but idle connections will not. If you have 20 busy connections and 350 idle ones, at most 20 x temp_buffers will be used and there is no benefit from PGbouncer in this regard. If you have 370 busy connections, all of them might use temp_buffers and your tradeoff can be 370 concurrently executing queries at higher memory cost vs. e.g. 20 concurrently executing queries via PGbouncer at lower memory cost and 350 stalled queries with potentially high latency.

> We have many idle connections.

In this case, you will not have any issues with memory use from temp_buffers, work_mem ...
Hmmm. I can see you're frustrated, but it's coming out sounding like you feel entitled to other's free work.

Depends on where you get your land. My family's cabin is in a forest in eastern Washington that could probably sustain hunter-gatherers. The Great Plains, however, probably could not (basing this on Native American tribes being more sedentary near my cabin than the middle American tribes that were more transient, as well as my limited knowledge of what grows wild on the great plains).

Researchers ID genetic switch that controls muscle repair system
I have a hard time seeing how anything but a teeny tiny fraction of scientific results would ever be amenable to such an automatic checking. And I am a mathematician -- in principle this should be easiest in mathematics, since at least we have well defined axioms and in principle one could derive everything from those axioms. In practice, this seems completely unfeasible for most mathematics, at least currently.
What many people didn't realize is that JetBrians' IDEs are not only IDEs but also amazing text editors. Its capability of navigating across multiple locations in your project is unparalleled. For example, you can navigate to where you last changed anything with a key stroke (and then the place you changed before that). It can also navigate to where your cursor last located (in a complete different file/location) with a key stroke. You can easily switch between all opened files or switching between all edited files. When you do a search all, you can use keystroke to switch between all hits at different locations.
Not to mention that in IDE, you can go to declaration, find usages etc.

All these are really important productivity booster. Because we all spend a significant amount of time navigating our code base. VIM is really a great editor with its programmable command line interface, but it's not as nearly easy to navigate code in VIM than in JetBrians IDE.

JetBrians' integration with Git is also amazing, combined with its own local history system. In JetBrian IDEs, when I open file, any local change (according to git) will be marked at the left, a simply click can revert that particular local change. With the local history and auto save, I never need to worry about saving the files.
This is really cool, I didn't expect it to be running smoothly (at least not laggy) on the embedded graphic card of i7 640M ;P
You suspect wrong. Being new does not mean the same as being modern. Systemd solves a problem that doesn't exist. You are never going to see that kind of nonsense in openbsd for example.
Stali currently does not exist, but there are others statically linked distros out there, ie. http://starchlinux.org/
People shouldn't use absolutes when they don't mean an absolute. It is not about 100% strictness, its about understanding what someone is saying. The "STOP" sign actually means stop, not maybe (that's "YIELD"). In other words, don't get pissy when you use absolute proclamations and others call you on it.
I find myself getting nervous on both sides of the table.

Now you are moving the goal posts. So Versace is "fair" because of intangible feeling X, but Candy Crush isn't because of intangible feeling Y?

If you enjoy conspiracies theory about Putin, I heard about two.

First is very realistic, that in 2013 he fabricated fishing in Tyva:

Second is that he has multiple doubles, including one mongoloid.
And basically his whole blog: http://grugq.github.io/
I can't think why. Almost all conspiracy theory is compounded of excess credulity, overactive pattern-matching, and reheated leftover California counter-culture convictions regarding the so-called "Establishment".

Helloworld was historically more like a way to make sure your dev environment was setup right (libraries on the path, compiler actually installed). It's short pulls in a library and produces visible results. That's why it was always the intro example not because it was in any way a valid tour of the language.
I've been looking for the term to use that has managed me for the past few years, and I have since passed on to my small teams.

I was commenting on the misleading wording of cmdkeen's comment, not disputing the legal basis under which Miranda was detained.

But since you asked...

"You are attempting to board a plane in the UK, and the same tests apply to a simple change of flight as they do to passenger flying from the UK."

Agreed. Transit passengers are subject to UK law. An important issue, though, is whether Miranda had actually committed any offence in UK law. Since he was ultimately released, it seems reasonable to assume that the police felt they couldn't establish that he had. Nevertheless, the judges in the present case found that the detention was a lawful means for the police to try to determine whether an offence had been committed. This seems reasonable to me, even though I'm sympathetic towards what Snowden/Greenwald/Miranda/Poitras have done to date.

"Out of interest, if he had in fact stolen them from the UK (in the same way Snowdon did) would you object to his being stopped? What if it were Snowdon himself on his way to Russia?"

First question: No, I wouldn't object. He could have committed a crime, even though I might argue that it was in the public interest. Second question: Depends on whether a crime had been committed by Snowden in the UK (unlikely, imo), or whether the UK had accepted a US warrant for his arrest (which they almost certainly would).

Declassifying the documents just because they had been leaked would be absurd.
Another lazy attempt to be The Onion.
