"The other thing about ads is that 41 percent of millennials are using ad block. My daughter has ad block and she goes around infecting every machine she gets to. She puts it on everything."

Didn't realize that ad block was that popular with millennials. I was always thought it was more popular with those that were tech savvy regardless of age.
Why do you think that?

Greece would be fortunate to have Mississippi's economy about right now, they have a 26% unemployment rate; Mississippi is 7.x%.

Greece has 100 times as much government debt as Mississippi.

Greece has a ~$200b economy, $20k per capita GDP, and 11 million people. Mississippi has a $110b economy, with just 3 million people, and a per capita GDP of about $37k or soon to be twice that of Greece.

If Greece does everything right for 30 years, they might catch back up to Mississippi.

Their actions so far are rapidly leading them toward being a second tier European economy, in the category with Slovakia, Czech, Slovenia, Russia, Poland etc. instead of being with eg France, Italy and Germany. In fact they're already there, the question now is how much further are they going to fall - the likely answer is they'll lose at least another 1/3 of their real economy.

When you let anger and resentment dictate your policy, yes you're being irrational, by definition.

It was like 7 years ago. Now there's a difficult situation (a debt realistically impossible to pay) and different people in charge (not thieves and Goldman Sachs anymore [1]). Let's focus on viable solutions.

Damn. I've got two games I rather wanted to finish playing.

Leaving my lack of ability to finish games to one side - I wonder how dangerous the patents are? I imagine Sony's strategy is to limit game streaming to owners of their hardware. If they are aggressive with their IP that could leave the rest of us shut out of an entire delivery channel.
All this technology just to kill people. It is a sad world we live in.
Anyone on a W-2 does have their taxes taken out automatically. That's what the whole purpose of filling out a W-4 prior to starting employment. Many people overpay in taxes and end up getting a substantial refund at the beginning of each year. How do Americans feel every dollar going to the government in this case?
A lot of folks here ask how to learn architecture. I really love this intro statement from "The Architecture of Open Source Applications"[1] and higly recommend reading the book!

"Architects look at thousands of buildings during their training, and study critiques of those buildings written by masters. In contrast, most software developers only ever get to know a handful of large programs well—usually programs they wrote themselves—and never study the great programs of history. As a result, they repeat one another's mistakes rather than building on one another's successes."

It may not matter, because it seems like the F-35 is designed to optimize the movement of money around the US, and it may turn out to be a very mediocre military aircraft with very nice electronics.
Don't get me wrong, the EU had every right to be angry, it's just preferable that the people in charge of billions of euros and the well being of millions don't pursue tacit vendettas in lieu of good fiscal policy, which is the point made in the referenced article.
I don't think there was any other option. If the default wasn't pep8, the tool would have no chance of seeing wide adoption in the Python community, unless someone forked it and changed the default to pep8.
The only reason the IMF (et al) had to step in was because no normal creditor was willing to assume the risks that came with lending money to Greece anymore. If the IMF was a normal creditor they would have never given any loans to Greece, and definitely not at this scale.

So disregarding the IMF now with a claim of "they are just a creditor and knew the risks" seems a bit unfair. They lent this money to support Greece, not because anybody thought it was a good investment.
looking at the low tech - WWII style - war in Ukraine with a lot of civil population and property being hit, intentionally and unintentionally, i'd take high tech any time over it. For example when a full salvo (16) of unguided missiles (from "Uragan" system http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BM-27_Uragan) with 100Kg cluster warheads rains over the center of large city (Donetsk) ... i wish that US give Ukraine high-precision weapons so those weapons would be used instead.

In an interview one Russian tank gun operator was boasting "we had a good tank - it had night vision"! In 2015! He said 3 tanks out of their team's 12 were such "good" tanks (and it was regular Russian army unit, not a rebel one). Of course no laser guided, drones, or any "total battlefield awareness", etc... Just shoot whatever you see through that night vision (it was their actual order the night Ukraine forces were making their way out of Debaltsevo encirclement through the narrow bottleneck while Russian forces were shooting at them from good positions from both sides)

It's a really bad strategy in that it doesn't prepare the Greek people for anything bad happening. The short term consequences of Greece crashing out of the Euro is going to be very painful for Greece.
Of course it is a strategy, a populist one.

ES6 added the class keyword, but that doesn't mean that there are actual classes in JavaScript. I can highly recommend this book if you'd like to dive deeper, I just finished reading it: https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS/tree/master/this%...
I'll bite and make the argument here about using jQuery for something a decent dev should be able to implement in native JS: consistency and cross-browser support. Most of the time, I'll reach for jQ because it's so widely used that most of the weird edge-cases are ironed out, and I can be fairly confident that it'll work decently well across most modern-ish browsers. I'm sure there are exceptions, but this has been my experience. If a performance issue comes up and a jQ method is the culprit, I'll optimize that little bit. Until then, I'll use $.extend() instead of whipping it up myself, since I usually have more urgent things to do.
If you'd like my suggestion. I've been quite annoyed with some of the "odd" or "non-consistent" ways for splitting long lines onto multiple lines (either on definitions, or plain calls to functions). Eventually, I did come up with a consistent way to do so. Have a look at below:

def OtherLongFunctionName(One,
Two,
Three
):
print "Does stuff"

def MyFunction(Param1,
OtherParam,
FooParam,
EtcParam
):
if ((Param1 * 1000) > 5000 &&
OtherParam is not None &&
len(FooParam) > 50
):
new_instance_dict = {
"TestingFoo": Param1,
"NewFoo": OtherParam,
"LongFooBar": FooParam,
}

recursive = MyFunction(
OtherLongFunctionName(
Param1,
OtherParam,
FooParam
)
)

It doesn't comply to PEP8 due to the indentation of nested params and stuff on the new lines. PEP8 apparently wants them aligned with the opening/starting bracket. This looks horrible, and just right-aligns all your code into little columns. And doesn't work very well with nested function calls.

They lent money so that Greece could service its existing debt. Whether that's for the benefit of Greece is arguable.
The civil war and the lack of a strong government are not the same. It's the former, and not the latter, which maintains them in poverty.

Coincidentally the same cost as the Eurofigher Typhoon's helmet:

6 Instructional Shifts for Your Common Core ELA Classroom
E.g. Learn how frameworks are built and what design patterns they implement. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_design_pattern could be a good place to start, if only to get ideas on more things to learn about. You don't have to know a language amazingly well to start picking apart a framework, but it might be helpful to be tenacious enough to go look up and play with the programming concepts they're using which you don't yet understand.

The "architecture of open source applications" books are a good read to get an idea of how bigger pieces of software work, but none of it is JS IIRC.

Getting a job
I would like some advice. I'm coming from a pretty naive situation. For 2 months from 1st July 2015 to 31st August 2015, I plan to deeply master and have a grasp of C++(including STL), algorithms and data structures. Do you think that if I have mastered the material I can easily get a part time programming job. In particular I plan to master stuff like graph theory. To be specific I plan to use material from Tim Roughgarden and Robert Sedgewick from Coursera. You are welcome to ask me any question about this topic if you find it relevant for the discussion. Thank you.

Interestingly even Adobe doesn't know what it is, the detection software was supplied to them as a binary. I messed around with it in a similar way to the author out of sheer curiosity and ended up completely baffled by the whole thing, even trying to eliminate parts that aren't triggers is impossible by my measure. I should make it clear I have no desire whatsoever to thwart the system (as others point out, simply using different software does that), but the methods it is using seem to completely defy all of the fingerprinting systems I'm aware of and is therefor incredibly interesting as a result.

>A better solution would be to integrate the Greek economy into a paneuropean federal country, that simply eats the losses of Greece. I am certain some states in America are net beneficiaries of federal spending (more government dollars flow into it than are retrieved through taxes.)

Better -- for whom?

You will already find that debtor states (at the national level) find it much harder to generate sympathy within the nation if they consistently, repeatedly and unchangeably show that they cannot manage their finances.

Because colors can be altered in any end-reader's IDE/text editor. Indentation and spacing, however, can not. At least, not safely yet.

I suppose you could run all the code you receive and have to read through a code-formatter such as YAPF. That way, no matter what "way" someone writes their code, when you read it, it'll be in your comfortable/preferred format.
Guess this explains why :

Particularly why BAE for Typhoon already had it around the same time.
"Encryption" of media like that is always just going to be obfuscation, you get protection form the anti DMCA removal law, the actual encryption isn't worth the bits it flips. In fact, if you make it "stronger" from a cryptographic standpoint you simply make it cost more to decode and add no strength to the actual defense it is trying to provide (getting further under DMCA umbrella). If you want to criticize it was probably foolish to include actual encryption in the first place, why waste cycles when you can XOR with 0x69?

No, I don't. I merely think that having a free manual and a non-free alternative to it is perfectly fine, because the user will decide which one they pick. No need to force any kind of specific ideology upon anyone.
"Populism"? This seems to be a word for democracy you don't like.
That depends on how badly off you are.

Greece has an amazing history. That history won't feed or employ people, or keep Greece economically competitive such that their children have a good future.

When you talk to people from Bulgaria, Ukraine, Moldova, Macedonia, etc. they tend to be very focused on economy and money, and there's a good reason for that - they're trying to survive.

Intuitively, the view already doesn't correspond to what you see, even if you're only a commercial pilot. That's why planes have attitude indicators.
If morality is determined by "do unto others as you would have them do unto you", then I think this probably is immoral. It's fairly low on the range of immoral behavior, but it shouldn't be a purely economic calculation, in my opinion.

>"I would love to write Python like this, but sadly for me PEP8 and society frown upon it:"

Indeed, that is one of those "big argument" type of minor formatting discussions. Despite my OCD, it doesn't bother me, and in fact, I prefer formatting them as below:

some_dict = {
'a_key': an_expression,
'another_key': another_expression,
}

Question, if you add another entry, and it throws off the formatting, do you go up and change all the other entries prior so they all align? Because that does bring up questions about code-commits. I.e. you're touching code that hasn't changed.

some_dict = {
'a_key': an_expression,
'another_key': another_expression,
'a_really_long_key_that_throws_you_off': expression,
}

As opposed to:

some_dict = {'a_key': an_expression,
'another_key': another_expression,
'a_really_long_key_that_throws_you_off': expression}

Of course it worked: nowadays Portugal can borrow money in the free market with interest rates that are historically low, much cheaper than with the IMF. This means: the world trusts again in Portugal.

What you speak about is a completely different thing, Portugal has very old and deep structural problems but they were not caused by this particular crisis, they just got more exposed. Solving them is another story, I don't even think that our democracy (as we know it) is able to do it.
Lolz!

Like the plane, the helmet is enormously expensive. The cost of each custom-made helmet is more than $400,000.

They've come down in price. When I did my honours at a defence science base in '96, it was using a helmet obtained "second-hand and shop-soiled" for $600k - the helmet had a monocle that projected a HUD onto your retina. Apparently it was an Apache gunship pilot's helmet.
>It's OK if you don't understand the difference yet

Oh I understand the difference. But losing track of memory and accidentally keeping memory in play are both called memory leaks. I would still call it a memory leak if it's due to cyclic references or stale entries in a hash table or other container.
> But even then, Greece could have survived its mistakes were it not for one other fatal decision: to move forward with its electoral platform before renegotiating its debt, increasing government spending without the requisite funds and reversing or stalling key reforms

This only seems like a bad thing because it is viewed in terms of money and debts, rather than human cost. The reality is that Syriza must do some spending if only to hold Greece over and stem the rise of the far-right. Greece has had 7 years of "reforms". They need to also spend some money sometimes.
As if other sources would always write their stories as straight news. Try to read The Guardian.

However, what's written seems not far from truth. Other sources have been reporting how Greece is running out of cash.

Apr 2: http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/04/02/us-eurozone-greece...

And now, with "finance ministry officials are categorically denying any suggestion that Greek representatives said the country would run out of cash" I think could be confirmed that Greece is running out of cash.

CoFounder startup magazine's IGG campaign 96% funded
This non-story is missing the point of Snapchat completely.

Actual snapchat users don't care if their snaps are securely vaporized for all time. This isn't top-secret data that's being sent over the wire, it's selfies and food and drunken antics and bad jokes. They just don't want to deal with the social baggage of having them all easily viewed by Grandma and that weird kid from high school.
With 9 days to go and at 96% I'm sure the campaign will be fully funded. Is a new print magazine about startups really needed?
From the article:

> a stealthy fighter jet years that is often called a flying computer because of its more than 8 million lines of code

For all the critics, all the hate vs drones and leaner fighters and bombers, the F-35 _is_ an impressive engineering feat and a turning point, especially re:software.

At some point, a "Snow Leopard" version of the F-35 will turn out as a very fine piece of equipment, only possibly without the initial cost benefits expectations. Also: most learnings will probably be lost because the project will not have a decisive cost/performance advantage despite its complexity. The plane won't have a successor.

Hopefully we can hear at some point of contractors who worked on its systems.
Show HN: Meet Slackerbot. Slacking Off with Slack
Hi guys,

So last week my company switched to Slack and I was immediately interested in building bots. I thought the idea of building a game bot that used emojis was pretty cool. After a handful of hours and a really fun time learning about slack, here he is.

Let me know how it goes if you try him out.

Edit: I realise I haven't added many pictures. Let me fix that..
