Just a side note, you pushed pyc files into the repo. .gitignore would be useful there.

13 crazy freelancing myths debunked
There's probably nothing stopping the individual members from doing something about it and many of them probably will in the form of laws, not news. Sadly, assuming that it's evidenced based, it would be better if it was an EU wide thing.
Cool app and use of D3. It would be nice if you can see what regions/towns you're hovering over before you click though.
Ok, now this is really funny. There's the buzzy feeling, which I considered distinct from the low hum (til now), but I absolutely hear that low-hum too and also assumed it was the refrigerator. It is more pronounced at certain times, but I never linked it to my sleep deprivation. I'll have to pay attention to that.

Another thing is that I seem to be "sensitive" to some electronics. For instance, I cannot hold a cell phone to my head for more than a few minutes and I even have to take breaks when listening to music on headphones. The feeling I get bears some similarity to my sleep-deprived state, so I have wondered about a relationship there, if not just a further reduction of my tolerance of electronics.
Debt is an accelerant. It gets you things more quickly, but it can also get you into trouble more quickly.

I'm in the UK and my only debt is my mortgage, because I'm in the last generation not to have to pay for higher education.
You mean, in addition to regulations and taxes, right?
Or they could, your know, ban the use of the dangerous stuff. That'd be a whole lot more efficient.
Student loan debt isn't dischargeable. We're talking about someone who's already in financial hot water. Of course, if you like putting out fires with gasoline, that's your thing.

I've known people who've used student loans for both ongoing living expenses and to put off repaying ... student loans. The balance ... accumulates. And compounds.

Non-student debt, or non-debt forms of aid, have other ways to be discharged. Student loans have two: sweat of your brow or your life.

Re "looking for clients": you've missed my point: that sometimes the problem isn't your skillset but (variously), the state of the economy, the sector you're in, or the location you're in. "Educating your way out of this mess" doesn't work when the fundamental problem isn't your skills.

Otherwise, you're simply tapping into a fairly readily accessible tar-baby.

Funny, that, how accessible it is....

Ripoff Reports (or other such sites, Consumerist is another) is a good place to check up on businesses. I didn't go looking for that, BTW, just plugged in "American Public University and it turned up. Yes, read carefully and consider the sources and/or possible motives.

But for-profit colleges, make no bones about it, have some exceptionally massive problems, perverse incentives, and criticisms.

NASDAQ listing has no goddamned bearing on educational quality. Negative if anything.

If you are going to recommend the "go to school and buy time" route, I'd strongly recommend a community college over a commercial one. Lower tuition costs mean far less overhead on top of living expenses.

Better yet, find a state (or country) that doesn't suck as hard as Texas and/or the US does to live.
But Stack Ranking only work if you have a large number of people doing exactly the same job - and then it really only works the once.
That's straightforward if you're a hardware hacker, it wouldn't slow me down much but I think that for most software oriented people building your own time-server and verifying that it works is out-of-scope.

GP probably meant to hook this straight into their PC and the CPU you refer to is actually the CPU of a separate board rather than the main CPU (where thermal drift will usually make the oscillator less than reliable over longer periods of time).
Is the EC in charge of the EU? Couldn't they just say no?
To me this whole TTIP feels like the US trying to bundle and export their most profitable corporate lobbying results through the corrupt and payed-for US politicians to the EU. Secret negotiations, state-investor dispute, all of this seems organized to help big corporations screw consumers further.

I simply hope the whole thing fails, I really don't see the benefit to me.
Glad to see that people appreciate time, one of my favorite engineering challenges. We took it on at rapt.fm in order to have the beat and other events start in sync.

A distributed tick was used on game servers and in web clients via websockets. Max Seiden deserves credit for the work, it involved subscribing to a custom tick emitter on the server-side, and in each subscriber, an adjustment mechanism and local failover.

I did the javascript client work that ended up in the final release, basically a mechanism wherein events could be scheduled a few seconds ahead, and these would get triggered on the same tick. This way, even with the obvious latency in the video feed, at least countdowns and music cues happened simultaneously for everyone participating (well, when it wasn't buggy).

rapt.fm does not use this, but Precision Time Protocol is the ultimate way to make time sync work. I intend to get to know it better for future projects.

I'm sorry you feel that way, I'm just trying to find out where we might disagree. Those two questions where the ones I thought would be key points on which we might disagree and would get us closer to understanding where we both stand rather than stopping because I found someone that disagreed with me. I don't want to ignore opportunities to find out I'm wrong, or find another side to things I'd not considered.

The ways in which we respond to things instinctively is a topic I find both fascinating and incredibly important. Personally I think there is enough evidence to suggest we should be highly wary of ways in which we think that we don't carefully analyse. If I'm wrong I could be ignoring a very powerful way of quickly responding to things. I think that people who rely on gut instinct are putting themselves at risk of making worse decisions on important issues, or trusting others that operate in the same way.

I'm not going to keep poking, because there's no joy in talking to someone that doesn't want to respond, and certainly no joy in talking to someone who thinks that a discussion or debate is either something to be won or something where neither person should expect to come out with a different opinion.

It's merely correlation, not causation.

P.S.: Why do most articles about the 'brain' try to dumb down people?
As much as English is German from 5000 years ago...

Actually, the ancestor of the English language was most probably brought to Britain by Germanic people from what nowadays would be the region between Netherlands and north west Germany.

Plus, it wasn't 5000, but maybe about 3000 years ago.

I think a good part here is that where I live it is very quiet. Last house on a dead end street, nothing but fields around me for miles and miles. So when it's quiet it is really quiet, so quiet that sounds that you'd otherwise never even notice become audible because your brain just keeps cranking up the gain.

I can hear the dear foraging around the house at night, and if a car passes on the nearest highway (a few kilometers away) I can hear that clearly too. But during the day all those sounds vanish, masked by the ever present background noise level which is far higher than it is during the night. And my hearing is actually not nearly as good as it used to be.

One simple solution I've found is to play really low volume white noise, that seems to instantly drown out all of it but strangely enough is very hard to detect by itself.

I never noticed any 'sensitivity to electronics'.
This level of reporting is really silly. I'm always surprised how common it is to print a bunch of facts and/or speculations/opinions loosely wrangled together with two-bit economics. It's really insulting to the reader.

Even psychology doesn't get this kind of abuse. Can you imagine an article that lists off divorce rate, some happiness survey, psychiatric drug statistics and ties it all together narratively with a single-sentence theory about 21st century loneliness, stressful work lives, the trouble with living online social lives or anything else that an average tabloid reader might suggest as a reason.

Here we have some suggestion that tax evasion is involved, some stats about housing shortages, slum housing and no information relevant to the obvious question: why do people buy flats and them leave them empty?

DESIGNING FOR EVIL
Challenges with a Stack Rank
I'm sure the EU corporations are doing their share of lobbying, but I agree that all these trade agreements seem to be tailored for Big Business at the expense of consumers.
Finland is not 'Nokia headquarter', Cambridge is not 'research', and India is not 'outsourcing'. All have product building teams (with all the disciplines involved - Dev, PM, Design). Some places are small (lesser people) Ex. Cambridge, some places are large (India - with complete end to end ownership of product building). And there are Japan, China & Israel R&D divisions too and same applies to those places as well (all disciplines are involved in making of whatever products they are creating).
You write really well, thanks for this.
I first realized how hard is naming when I programmed in Forth. Amusingly, Forth is sort of a point-free type of language - everything happens on the stacks and there's no such thing as local variables, so a good chunk of the 'naming problem' goes away - but trying to squeeze a functionality in one or two lines can be difficult. The reason for this constrain is that I programmed mainly with a "block editor", a limited kind of editor that only 16 lines of 64 characters at a time. This wasn't an artificial constrain because I was working on a fully self-hosted hobby system, which had no file support (the [floppy] disk space was presented as a series of 1K blocks = 2 sectors = 80x16 bytes) and "block editors" are the easiest thing to implement in this case.

Despite the point-free nature of Forth, there's still the problem of naming functions ("words" in Forth lingo) and global variables. Programming in Forth is an interesting exercise because you quickly see the relationship between how you factor your code and how you name your "words". You discover by yourself many of the rules in the slides. But I find this is really the case when one uses the 64x16 block editor I mentioned. Using standard files and editors removes a lot of the constrains, but they also allow more sloppy coding (which may be a good thing if you have something better to do; e.g. you just need to write a throwaway script to get the job done).

In my experience you can spend a lot of time (re)factoring and (re)naming things. Sometimes it's valuable because e.g. it helps you understanding the problem, and sometimes you are just bikeshedding yourself.
I know you jest but I can actually see some advantages to not even having a ++ (and a --) operator.

You already have '+1' and '-1' so it's not even shorter (and those can't be sneakily inserted into expressions leading to side effects of the expression other than the value computed) and the post and pre-decrement versions of that can lead to very subtle bugs.
Because there is freedom of transportation of goods within the EU, banning a substance in one country does nothing to prevent products containing the substance reaching consumers.

A lot of comments here comparing it with grep or some other native CLI. I think this fares better at least on three metrics:

1. Fun to build.
2. Output looks prettier.
3. Easier to add more syntactic stuff as edge cases for different languages are factored in. Won't be too hard to extend it for github issues, for example.

Since there would be very few cases of partial matches of "TODO" I think grep would still be much faster.

Why It Was Difficult to Leave Law
It is completely true. Actually, most of the problems in India can be traced back to previous generation (current old generation). They:

1) Did the most corruption. It wasn't that bad before it.

2) Created all the draconian laws to 'correct' Indian culture.

3) Put pressure on current generation to 'own a house' at the age of 25-30, while they themselves like all the people before them got their house at the ripe age of 50-60.

4) Themselves a product and participant of socialist government with anti-private business attitude, they increased the age of retirement for government jobs. You meet one government employee and tell him/her that you work for some IT company and they will mock you for 'getting undeserved salaries' and 'being ignorant of bureaucracy', whether it is for getting a passport or driving license.
Strongly disagree with replacing bar charts by scattered points with arbitrary position on the horizontal axis (2 and 3). It is very difficult to disassociate horizontal proximity from vertical proximity, and the former is meaningless and distracting here.

It's quite easy to build an accurate ticker, that monotonically increases at a rate that is within a few PPM of a known frequency. This is basically the "add finest cheap Casio digital watch technology to motherboard" option. If you fill your datacenter with these, they will slowly drift apart from each other and from UTC. UTC is generally what you want but then you have to account for leap seconds.

There is also huge scope for argument about what is meant by "very accurate".

I think it's important to understand that such remarks, while grammatically in the second person, are not really addressed to the OP (who as he says, has learned from his experiences). They're really addressed to all the other people who have not yet learned those lessons. Maybe in some cases they're addressed to the commenter's acquaintances who make foolish suggestions like 'now you've got a high-paying job, why don't you buy a sports car?'

But it is probably also a good idea to not put such remarks in the second person, to avoid confusion.
It might be forbidden to bar a product altogether, because you would be distorting the competitive landscape. That's the case with GMOs, there are a few temporary bans, but no solid and definitive legislation, because that would be forbidden.

I think there is a huge disconnect between professed Christian values and execution on many fronts, including this one.

I suppose that especially those who adhere to the Christian faith would anticipate this. In other words, the Christian teaching is that the very need for grace is brought about by humankind's utter inability to consistently adhere to Christian principles.
We from TarkaLabs (tarkalabs.com) were able to build and deliver an app in a relatively short span of time which was very similar to one seen at http://www.tiki-toki.com/timeline/entry/137152/Tower-of-Lond....

I agree with the initial learning curve being a bit steep. But once you get the hang of it you tend to see similar concepts in React.js and Haskell (of course - Elm is inspired from Haskell) and a bunch of other places.
Sadly, this will be a completely useless post, but I was hoping it was talking about the old Unix mail client. I believe it was the inspiration for PINE.
Java class names are like Haskell function types. In fact, there are libraries that can autogenerate implementations for database logic by the name of the interface and methods alone, much like you can guess what the function does just by the types it operates on.

I'm not surprised by this. Getting the public at large's attention concentrated in the first place is hard enough; keeping it there is impossible. However, that's not to say that all this has been in vain.

The snooping revelations sent huge ripples through the tech community, and that is the community both most affected and most poised to make a change. A small group of dedicated people is all it takes to enact change, and it's clear to me there has been significant increase in the scrutiny of both government surveillance and existing businesses privacy policies and software. Maybe the public at large has moved on, but some people have adopted the cause, and a small focused group can be far more potent than a vague, if large, mass of people. Just ask Occupy Wall Street.

The main take-away here is that yes, the public will move on. As it always does. Nothing is going to hold the country's attention more than a couple weeks, and even that is pushing it. So use that momentum if appears, but don't depend on it staying. More important is whether a subgroup is galvanized to action and will commit to the long fight.

Parallels to consider:
- the political influence of relatively small interest groups via lobbyists
- the oft-repeated wisdom that for a startup it's better to have a core group that loves you than a million that think you're just pretty good
But the accidents are not usually single car incidents.

So, you are then leaving the driver of the other car having been in a fatal accident, because you did not want to wear a seatbelt.

If you want to drive on a private road without a seatbelt, drunk, whatever, that is entirely your choice. If you are likely to interact with other road users, then your choices impact others. (Note: your choices on a private road impact your family etc, but, you do not risk leaving someone feeling guilty because they had a car crash which killed someone)
This is a completely different level than lobbying, this is effectively corporative control.

You enforce labeling of "inconvenient" ingredients on food? That hurts Mamacorp, you're going to be sued.
You ban pesticides? Mamacorp is going to sue you.
You prevent smoking? Mamacorp is going to sue you.
You block eternal copyright? Well, you got the rap.

The thing I find terrifying is that virtually any form of social progress can be interpreted as damage to some company's profit.

TTIP is corporatocracy at its finest.
I think Linux took off [versus Solaris and FreeBSD] because of package management. I think that’s basically it. Docker’s taking off because it’s the new package management. It’s just that simple.

Solaris used to cost money and not ship with all kinds of user-friendly things like a nice shell or a C compiler.

He's right about package management. This is being fought out again with the language-specific package management systems. People want to install the tip of the iceberg that is the software they actually want, without worrying about the rest of the iceberg of supporting software and all its security updates and version conflicts.

Containers also exist because UNIX has no good standard way of delegating resources that aren't files. You can give users disk quotas but not memory quotas. You can't delegate management of a TCP port or IP address to a user. You can't delegate users into "sub-users" for their administrative convenience.

Containers also answer the question of "what do I need to clean up when this system has been compromised?" Because security is still a disaster area, admins need a means of effectively partitioning systems and cleaning up after breaches.
