Taxes are not particularly high in Spain. They are below OECD average, not to mention below EU or Eurozone average.

http://stats.oecd.org/index.aspx?DataSetCode=REV

In 2013, Spain's tax revenue was 32.6 % of GDP. Compare that to Germany 36.7 %, Netherlands 36.3 % and Finland 44.0 %. Also consider that these as proportion of tax revenue to official GDP, and it's pretty safe to assume that Spain has more in grey economy (not in official statistics) than northern Euro countries.

ASK: Any open source projects needing no dev contribution
Hello,

This topic has been raised several times, but i still want to ask it again to help people find each other.

Im really willing to contribute to an open source project with my no-dev profile.
I'm a complete newbie, so I cant "fetch" this kind of requests on Github or any other pages..

So maybe here project leaders could post their need for these kind of contributors? :)

Two words about me:
I do work in IT and do the documentation, communications and bug reports every day.
Id like to use that in some great project.

Looking forward for any messages and comments :)

> If Greece won't be getting money from the IMF they will after all need to find a new monetary partner.

Why do they need a monetary partner? As opposed to reverting to what they had before euro, their own currency?

I can see how Greece might try to threaten other Euro countries with "if you don't give us more money, we will give military bases to Russia and prevent EU from helping Ukraine", but that's not really a monetary partnership with Russia.
I am in the same boat as you. Though web development is not my primary job, this is how I learn it in my spare time. Would love to hear from others.

a) Learn fundamentals and working of JS (right from event loop), How modern browsers works as full blown runtime, single page applications, Functional programming paradigm etc.

b) Be able to categorize and put opensource I come across frequently, into problem buckets they solve. Started with libraries, frameworks and tools and am going one level down now

c) How massive development is now possible on browser side with kind of tooling available

d) Picked up Angular and Node for "Hello World" and some small apps for learning

e) I follow related subreddits like- r/Javascript, r/AngularJS, r/webdevelopment etc and of course lurk on HN
I really like good debugging stories; written well, they're like a very short mystery story, in which I get to follow the thought process and watch the bug being cornered and identified, and ultimately it goes in my personal arsenal of things to think about in the future if I'm ever in a similar situation.

Sadly, this one is ruined by having the answer stuck in the first paragraph with a great big "TL;DR" in it, so even if I read the whole thing now, I already know the answer which colours my thinking the whole way through. What a disappointment.

It's even got the word "story" in the title.
Interestingly, however, is that it is possible to pick a frame of reference such that gravity disappears, so it too is a fictitious force in a way.

I am not a physicist but that seems wrong to me or at least imprecise. You can select a frame of reference that makes gravitational forces disappear locally but there is no frame of reference that makes them go away globally.

Here we go :

"We review preliminary demographic and outcome data for participants who pay to “ID-verify” their certificates. They are slightly older, more educated, more domestic, and less often female than non-verifying participants in the same course."

Moreover since they are "more educated" and the paper also mentions that students are in general graduates in a "disproportionate manner", I assume that these people are very likely to be graduates.

I kind of like that they manage to present their project there without bashing other projects, apart from the whole name and approach of course.

It's a bit difficult to confirm, but given the name and approach this project is probably a part of the suckless community (however big that is and who might be in it), and on their page there is http://suckless.org/philosophy and some other pages, that would explain what to expect from sbase. Granted, that is not very concrete.

Planes have attitude indicators for when you can't see anything,e.g when you fly inside a cloud.

Yes, you're right. I'm admittedly not at all an expert on this type of thing, but surely some randomised testing, starting from a real banknote and making small mutations, would be doable.

Sorry I don't think the last paragraph you said is true. I dont see any special data types or models that can be modeled by MPP architecture but cannot be modeled in Spark. In short, I don't believe there is much difference at the physical execution level between MPP and Spark.

I also don't understand what you mean by orderable. Spark does not require records to be oderable. Maybe you can elaborate?

Oh sure, you could make a quick imagemagick script to make random variations and get a pass/fail with AppleScript, or even do some exploring with a debugger while opening one.

Finland now teach topics, eg, 'The EU' with all the history, maths, and geography that entails, rather than individual subjects.
I've run into this a couple of times over the last 10 oer so years when scanning documents. Rarely, a document will trigger a false-positive on a network scanner (or printer-scanner-copier) and I have had to manipulate the document by trial/error to trick the device into scanning it properly.

A few months ago, one of our Konica all-in-one units flat out refused to scan a customer invoice, claiming that it's illegal to scan banknotes.
The war to end all wars was the Great War, aka WW1.

It's not only about time, it's about GC pauses.
If you allocate hundreds of KB on each request (even simple stuff like health checks, or frequently polls for "is there anything ready yet" (in memory not db access etc), you will have a higher GC cost, and possibly having long GC pauses.

Go 1.5 is going to improve on the GC pauses, but another way of improving it is to just create garbage (by reusing memory). Go doesn't have manual heap allocation and free, but you can easily achieve manual memory management by simple means like handling your own pools.

I was with the author until the following line in the last paragraph:

"...it is not a fault only to have energy for what I care about. I don’t know what I would have become if my gifts had been acknowledged and nurtured rather than ignored."

This argument comes from the same privileged perspective of the "follow your passion" line. He can only make this claim because, as an apparently gifted programmer, he is fortunate to care about skills that are currently valued in the workforce, if not in the confines of many school systems.

No one has energy for the things they don't care about. However, people do their jobs regardless of whether they care about it because it is their job. Does the author suppose anyone works as a janitor because they care about cleaning other people's toilets? Of course not. Janitors have bills to pay, mouths to feed etc.

Teaching students to learn the importance of doing their job, regardless of whether they care about it, is not an intrinsic flaw of modern education. There should arguably be less emphasis on it, and more done to nurture student's natural talents.

However, the notion that students should not be taught at all the importance of good citizenship, following orders and doing their job -- even or especially if they don't care about it -- is unpalatable. To do away with it completely, as implied, is even more disrespectful to students than the situation he describes. It is extremely disrespectful to the people who will spend their working lives doing things that they don't particularly care about, and who go home at the end of the day to the things that give meaning to their lives.

> Remember: you're the software engineer -- write the software you want, not the software you think someone wants you to write.

That's easier said than done, kudos to those that pull that off but there is this thing called code review and if your co-workers are halfway competent you'll get called on what you built. In some cases that can be a career limiting move.

Better to pick your employers so that you don't end up as an enabler of technology used against the public interest.

Of course if you're going to 'take one for the team' and purposefully gain employment somewhere for the sole reason of messing with the machine that's a laudable strategy but it will likely come at a price in the longer term.

The OA is reading Freire [1] (see other posts on the blog). The Infed article on Gramsci, especially the section headed 'Gramsci on schooling and education' [2] might help further. The clue is in the separation of the two functions.

The OA was obviously able to educate himself most effectively. The challenge is now to collect a few people like his childhood self and get some self-organised education going outside the system. A few hours a week. Biographies of people like Alan Kay, Feynman &c show the influence of an adult outside the system on intellectual development. The career of Brian Harvey springs to mind.

The OA is in a good place to start a dialogue with younger people around (say) social network use and surveillance (see OA's google+ feed). Direct experience of working with (say) a handful of young people will refine ideas.

It is cutting edge from an operational perspective. You normally want to keep the precise capabilities of weapon systems hidden from adversaries for as long as possible, as knowing these make countering the systems much easier - but not in the case of the F-35; testing information, development progress, flight envelope and technologies are routinely discussed.

I think one of the main advantages is it's written in the same straightforward, braindead dialect of C as the other suckless projects. They are really easy to dive into. (Hence why, eg, dwm has so many derivative.) I think the suckless folks would consider the fact it doesn't produce a single fat binary to be an advantage too.

T-14 is still not in the army. Probably not even in the mass production yet. No T-90 has been sent to Ukraine. Modernized versions of T-72 is still in wide service with Russian army. Regular Russian army units (at the scale of several "battalion tactical groups", about 2000-3000 soldiers total) were sent to Ukraine in August 2014 - they stopped very successful Ukraine offensive by encircling significant forces near Illovaysk back then - and in January/February 2015 when they were primary force in encircling the Ukraine's forces near Debaltsevo. Combined battalion group (about 300-500) of platoons of special forces and paratroopers from various Russian units were performing major offensive in Donetsk airport in December.

Officially the soldiers were "on vacation" (just happen to vacation with their guns and tanks in Ukraine). Unfortunately for wounded and killed in the January/February 2015 many of them were really put "on vacation" paperwork-wise and now they or their relatives have troubles trying to get the compensation money.
> The short term consequences of Greece crashing out of the Euro is going to be very painful for Greece.

For Greece? Greece will recover, and it's hard to do worse than it is currently doing. And as others say, a floating currency will help correct the imbalance of an exporter like Germany dominating the EU.

And bizarrely, I suspect investment will be quick to return if Greece is seen as being out from under its cloud. Investors seem to care less about previous behavior than about future prospects.

> It's a really bad strategy in that it doesn't prepare the Greek people for anything bad happening.

No... Germany stands to lose the most, because the likely eventual outcome is the collapse of the entire monetary union, and the wide markets that Germany has enjoyed.

Interesting yet unsurprising. Proving the Riemann hypothesis (ie all non-trivial zeros of the zeta function are distributed along the line x = 1/2) is equivalent to proving Riemann's explicit formula for the prime counting function, which defines the distribution of prime numbers.

In the end, the Riemann hypothesis is a kind of sacred Graal for anyone interested in prime numbers.
I'm not an expert by any means, but to me that looks too low-res to be useful for printing money. Still cool though.

Address space size has nothing to do with access speed, but yes, the video chip and the cpu were competing for access to the ram. This happens in every graphic display interface that does not use dual-ported RAM or some kind of dedicated CPU doing the writing of the video RAM, you're always going to have contention.

The ST was a pretty clever compromise to reduce costs, unfortunately they weren't reduced far enough to give the machine a longer production run.

Yes, an interesting approach with actual resources behind it. I'm going to watch how that goes. My initial reaction is: we have 'subjects' with names on them partially through tradition but also partly through different 'rules of the game' for each subject (e.g. scientific method vs social critique vs historiography). How will the rules of the various games be taught? Or will there be no mathematics or physics degrees in Finland in 10 years?
I'm not convinced that high tech war machinery precludes collateral damage - to use that stomach-churning phrase.

I appreciate your point on one hand - conventional weapons can be inaccurate and that can result in tragic, horrifying mistakes.

But, I'm not aware of any high tech war technology that explicitly tries to prevent risk of injury to non-combatants. The only thing that stops civilians from being fired on is the person on the other end with their finger on the trigger.

For example, in spite of the technology at hand, drone operators have made decisions based on misinformation or misinterpretation - resulting in the horrific murder of civilians.

A weapon is a weapon, and it can be easily used negligently - or malevolently. The Uragan example you mentioned is at least one of these.

I was with the author until this line:

"Writing the program increased my understanding of circuits a great deal, but the existence of the program itself afforded me no real advantage. Perhaps this experience is why my preferred way to use software today is as a mathematical and mind-expansion exercise rather than making a tool that can actually be used."

It came off as whiny, because it comes off as a stretch to blame the school for his inability to write effective computer programs.
