They support a free trade agreement, it doesn't specifically tells about TTIP that may not be a free trade agreement since anyway almost nobody knows what's in it.

Recruiters too (they aren't all evil!). I spoke to one about this and he said remote contracts in London usually get filled in hours vs weeks for onsite.
Yes, the missing legend doesn't help readability unless you're familiar with Eurostat dataset terminology. Actually, that's total unemployment rate for >15y at a regional level. Ignore the sex and age part - it's the total number here. Colors stand for magnitude of total unemployment in a given region.

Here's the original version of the graph from Eurostat:

You don't want it with no dilution. It wouldn't taste good. You just don't want it overly diluted.

Refrigerating ingredients isn't practical for bar service because you'd be constantly pulling bottles in and out, so they'd be at fluctuating temperatures. It'd also be very expensive to have that much extra fridge space behind a bar, which is very cramped to begin with.
Really? I found the slides very readable.
That practice died out years ago with the rise of browser support for @font-face and the hosted webfont industry. Of course, you'll still encounter legacy sites that assume installed fonts, but no professional designer is going to specify type that way on a new project.
unhealthy obsession with being promoted, being promoted quickly, being recognised as excellent, nothing less-than-excellent on his review

That is the mentality the Microsoft metrics-driven management is supposed to encourage. You have to get promoted to be recognised. You have to be seen as better than those around you to avoid being cut in the stack ranking.
If you're talking about Dolphin, read the article again. Nobody refused, but a few people couldn't be contacted - unlike Linux, Dolphin has never required real names from contributors, so this mostly consisted of a few people who contributed under an alias a few years ago before utterly vanishing from the Internet.

EDIT: disregard; didn't see the graph, and wasn't previously aware of the one person who refused. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9600204 for the correct answer.
Xcode does this natively as well since somewhere recent, like 6.3 I think.
What is medicine's 5 sigma? [pdf]
Exactly. How am I supposed to say whether I like it or not when I don't know what "it" is? Lets leave surprises for company pot luck lunches.

Would any elected official dare ask the same about the legislative process? Isn't a trade agreement that sets precedent as legislation the opposite of a participatory democracy? It just makes no sense. How can they have things like TPP and TTIP and still complain about the lack of involvement in politics by ordinary folks?
No. The phase change takes as much energy as warming the ice 80C. No matter how cold the ice was some would melt, but even getting to where the dilution is minimal would require equipment you can't have at a bar. This article wasn't about a science lab.

I had a 6th gen Honda Civic hatchback whose ignition switch started cutting out. It was the subject of a hidden warranty; got it taken care of at a dealership free of charge.

It's pretty scary; one time the engine just cut out while I was completing a left turn in an intersection when the light turned yellow.

>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.

Yes, that's pretty normal actually. People even think it's quite intellectual.
Linux is built by tens of thousands of people, usually around 1,000 of them contributing to each minor release, with hundreds of maintainers of individual subsystem. These people are all over the world, and talk to each other by nothing more than e-mail, and "get the job done"; quite successfully I would say.

I've only worked remotely the past 12 years, people communicate in writing just fine, as long as they care about the job.

All the companies I've worked for remotely, insisted that occasionally we get together to have some face-to-face time. I've never complained because I know these meetings makes management happy, and I also got to travel around the world, but purely from the perspective of doing work, all of these have been a waste of time and money. The only purpose of these meetings is social.
How to Learn the Art of Speed Reading
I compiled a list a few month a ago on my blog: http://blog.remoteworknewsletter.com/2015/03/23/best-sources...
On the municipal (for major) elections, in many cities, Podemos went with a coalition with other left-wing parties (like Equo, IU, etc) with a different name on each city (ie Ahora Madrid in Madrid, or Barcelona en comú in Barcelona)

You can avoid the tiny ice chips with a tea strainer, which you see at any respectable cocktail bar. You don't shake them because it over-dilutes and over-chills, as would stirring for 5 minutes. (It also oxygenates them and makes them a cloudy foamy mess, but that goes away on its own in under 5 minutes.)
Have you seen what renting/buying costs are for central London! compared to the equivalent places in SF.

Camden is well over $4k PCM in Belgravia its over 6k
Powershell's object pipeline is a great idea. Its interface with the text world trips over at the last hurdle, because it truncates lines at terminal width even if redirected into a file.

I have in my notes:

<pre>Select-String " 23:56.00" -Path file.txt | out-string -width 10000</pre>

better (no headers):

<pre>Select-String " 23:56.00" -Path file.txt | ForEach-Object { Write-Output $_.Line } | Out-File t.txt</pre>

I eventually installed a proper grep and gave up trying to use Select-String.

The hoops you have to jump through to write and run script files are absurd as well, compared to UNIX where you just need to set the executable bit.
That's not true at all. Read up on the different licenses. The reason v3 was created was to fight tivoization, where the code is realeased, but the hardware prevents loading updated copies. From the point of view of a company licensing their source, v3 is much more restrictive. It requires a lot more things than a more free license. Linux is famous for rejecting it because of that.

Yes, there's a benefit that you are compatible with other more strict licenses, but that's like saying moving from GPL to proprietary is less restrictive because then you are compatible with the rest of your proprietary code at your company. Being more compatible with less free licenses is not more free.

I agree with you about the need to an efficient communcation, but the tools are there to enable it in a remote scenario :

- slack .
- skype / hangout,
- shared screen, shared editing sessions
- code review.

add regular meetups and you're ok.

At this level, other aspect of the project management are likely better target for optimisation.
Looking at the graph mouseover, I think 10 contributors refused to relicense. Their contributions were removed from the codebase.
> read the article again. Nobody refused, but a few people couldn't be contacted

No. Ten were uncontactable, and one refused.

"Refused and Code Rewritten - 1/202"

"Unable to Contact - 10/202"

Well when you shake it the viscosity difference isn't noticeable. A shaken martini sucks but I wouldn't call it "ropey".

They aren't putting it in the freezer, they're stirring. As that link you posted shows, stirring for 7 minutes and shaking probably get about the same dilution/chilling.
Being located in Cambodia, I get even fewer job offers. However, that is probably because they can see beforehand that I would not relocate to UK or DE. For 10 years, I made less than what I used to make in Europe, but with the much lower cost of living here, it probably boiled down to somewhat the same. Since this year, however, I make substantially more. So, as you can see, it is possible to have your cake and eat it too! ;-)
Thanks for the comments. Regarding simple `ag` or `grep` usages:
Yeah, that will definitely be faster (as with git grep). The problem arises when you have false positives due to either strings, variable names or other things (perhaps template or pattern matches). Then you will need extremely good regex (which leasot implements) or be really good with filtering the results.

Now what happens when you want the output in different formats?
I had a person contacting me for exporting as xml since he wants to plug it in for a CI (jenkins).
What if you want a JSON for your own tool?

Leasot is far from the perfect solution to TODOs, but if your use case requires anything other than simple regex, you will run into the same issues that Leasot tries to solve.

As far as speed, in my work project, parsing 552 javascript files takes around 0.2s on my mac. Some of these files being really big.
> "Also, "Otros" is 29.7% of the votes!! "

When you check Navarra the "Otros" category makes sense. There are like 10 different organizations and N/A data over there.

That said, I think that 29% is actually a good thing. A more diverse congress is also a more independent one.
I read it. And it's still confusing because of this graph (from the article):

https://dolphin-emu.org/m/user/blog/relicensing/relicensepie...

Note: "0.5% Refused. Code Rewritten"

If you mouse over that graphic in the article it says 1 person refused. However, the article otherwise completely ignores that 1 person... (unless I missed it, both times ;) )
The worst that could happen is that there is a future GPL version that removes copyleft. If there is a future GPL version that is horrible for the receipient, then at worst that receipient can simply opt for GPLv3.

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0-faq.html#V...

Clause 14 of GPL 3 also clarifies what later licenses can do. They must be "similar in spirit" and they cannot impose any additional requirements on any author or copyright holder.

edit: Okay, after seeing clause 14, I don't even see how a judge would interpret a GPL version without copyleft to be "similar in spirit", so I can't even imagine how that would happen. I think you're ok in accepting newer versions of GPLv3.
Glad it's useful! I'd extensively read engineering career advice, for example:

* Patrick McKenzie's blog: best post: http://www.kalzumeus.com/2011/10/28/dont-call-yourself-a-pro...
* Aline Lerner's Quora answers: http://www.quora.com/Aline-Lerner/answers
Right-o. From below: "The car was already behind on payments, that part I omitted from the story. As well the house was behind on payments so I let it go to foreclosure. Not the wisest idea, but it happened."
The statement "GPLv3 only adds more restrictions" is false, because it also removes some restrictions.

Whether you think you should allow Tivoisation or not is a different matter to the plain fact that there are things that GPLv3 allows which GPLv2 does not allow.
For reference, Colin's 2009 "Cryptographic Right Answers" blog post is here: http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2009-06-11-cryptographic-rig...
The problem about "TTIP" and "free trade treaties" is, that they are continuously used to support the interests of big corporations -- and thus, lowering health, environmental and other standards is one of the big targets of those treaties.

I lately saw a documentation about the trade treaty of the US with Mexico. They said, that standards where lowered in both countries.

Take two or more countries and make today a "free trade treaty" between them, you get the lowest common denominator, since the big corporations are at the head of the table.

TTIP starts to reduce standards even before it is signed.
It's just that I see a strong anti-EU trend developing throughout Europe, at least that's the feeling that I'm getting. Time will tell, I guess.

The thing is political integration is going back instead of forward and the financial crisis turned the whole project obsolete IMHO.
Most professional cryptographers write code in C. And what is arguably the best crypto library (NaCl) is written in C. Look, safety is a great idea. Unfortunately, things like cryptography need to be fast if you expect people to use them, and it is impossible to get the fastest levels of performance without using a low level language and dropping to assembly when necessary.
I'm going to go out an a limb here and just say it. That looks just like other fonts to me....

San Diego seems like a great city, with much nicer weather than Toronto - I've heard a lot of nice things about it. While the housing prices are equally high, it seems like tech salaries are much higher there, compared to Toronto.

I would like to one day be in your situation, but I feel like starting an independent adult life is harder than it used to be (mainly from accumulating student debt) for graduates in previous generations.

Do you think you could elaborate a little more about your early career?

Thanks so much!
For the unaware, the defect was weak resistance on turning the key from ON to ACC, causing sudden vehicle shutoffs, loss of control, and non-functional airbags.

I can guarantee that at least one comment is not by a Spaniard.
I'm sure a significant contribution to this are NRI's purchasing from abroad where their earnings abroad give them greater power back home than in the local market. Whilst some people may rent out these properties thus serving that part of the market, others want to hang onto a new build / never lived in property. Some might say this is a form of insurance should they wish to move back, but its most likely just an investment that doesn't serve society.

And yes, this is very similar to investments made in London/New York/San Fran, but wealthy individuals trying to offshore their wealth, although these properties are typically rented out.

There's both there's an anti EU trend but don't mistake this to think there is no-one for it. There are lots of good things they've done. The whole 'euro' currency thing that gets the attention is just a small part of the system.
I read through the whole thing, but there's something about the writing style which I think makes it rather difficult to follow; even the Dragon Book was more straightforward.

If I'm not mistaken, this article describes the same thing, and it was far easier to read:

What's ugly about it? It doesn't even seem interesting or different enough from anything else to call it beautiful or ugly.
I'm living in London and quite central too (Zone 2). Camden is expensive but you can get a 1br for $2000-25000 - I've been looking recently. And come on, Belgravia isn't really somewhere your average developer will be expecting to live. Of course it's expensive. It's round the corner from Westminster and Buckingham Palace. For a better comparison I live in a good area of East London, 20 mins on the tube from central. I share a 3 br apartment with 2 friends and pay about $800 per month.
looks great, any plans on integrating with github issues?

What does "Make life of" mean? As a native English speaker, I don't understand it; I presume it means "Make life better for", though the closest we have in English is probably "Make light of", which means something completely different (and is slightly funny in this context).
I do this as well. The codebase becomes my scratchpad, and I leave all kinds of implementation notes throughout as I sketch out what the end product will end up looking like.

Then it's a simple matter of grepping through the codebase for "XXX" and "TODO" and implementing the changes.

Even when starting from scratch, my usual flow is to implement the top level logic using stubs (commented with "XXX"), then go back and fill in the logic from there.
It's OK, they're going after the engineers that designed the switch, GM should be fine... :-(
Hm? The graph on the page shows 4.5% of contacts being marked as "Unable to contact", while it shows a very small 0.5% as "Refused, Code Rewritten". Or is this graph wrong?
One method that has proven to work good is to keep statistics and then nerf overused tactics and bump the ones that are rarely used.
It will make some interesting game play!

Also try to have as much diversity as possible. This is one of my favorite quotes: "This game is so imbalanced so that it get balanced".
The only person I know that opposed the change was Scott Moreau, and from my understanding he only did it to be an annoyance (I have IRC logs that indicate this pretty clearly). Given his history with other projects[1,2] it's not a big surprise. This was solved by removing the broken and mostly unused Wayland support from Dolphin.

I have a theory that every type family looks ugly when it replaces another one in a familiar context. We become so acclimated to a particular rhythm of strokes and counters that seeing them changed in situ inevitably looks wrong. In time, though, our brains adjust and the new typography comes to look right.
I'm a startup founder living in Toronto, and thought I'd post in counterpoint. I live in a small apartment, and pay myself using any money I can cobble together from grants, contracting, investment, etc. I have no interest in buying a house, and I'm actually pretty sure that committing to that would be counterproductive if you're founding your own startup. If you think it's necessary to have a paid-off house before you start something, then you likely don't fit the risk profile of someone who would successfully be able to do so. No first time startup founder I know owns their own house, and most pay their own rent, and most have jumped off to do their own thing because they simply cannot wait any longer and hate working on anyone else's stuff.

On the other hand, you're right about developer salaries being low here, comparatively. It's partly a function of the startups that exist here, and of Canadian cultural tendencies to just sit and simmer. If engineers are unlikely to jump ship, it's likely going to mean that salaries are lower than they could be.

So if you just want to get paid more, interview at a bunch of places and get higher offers, then tell your boss. If you want to be a startup founder, then quit your job when you've got six months' runway saved up, incorporate your company in London, ON, and do your best to get NRC IRAP and OCE SmartStart, and expect the rest to work out.
Pattern Matching: Wot's Uh the Deal?
Simply saying "this is uncertain information" does not absolve the use of "truth" and "prove" without qualifiers as the text does.

Except for that mention the text does not act like there are any uncertainty, hence the mention is a simple and dishonest cover-your-ass.
Could you point me to a starting point for understanding the new more robust approaches?
It is my understanding that AV was a horrible compromise, desired by no-one (even the smaller parties).

Nick Clegg, leader of the Liberal Democrats was king-maker and part of the coalition (deputy PM) in the last government. With a smaller party in power, this was seen as a crucial opportunity for electoral reform.

Ultimately, Clegg blew it - and I don't think this is an exaggeration.

What we are left with is the SNP needing 26,000 votes per seat in the Commons, and UKIP needing 3.9 million votes per seat. Only 30 million votes were cast in total!

This can be said to be deeply undemocratic, regardless of your political persuasion.

I'm glad that worked out for you. In my case the PM reported to the CEO. Who was a passive aggressive tool. All management in this company was just awful, but somehow the tech team that was based in the america and europe was pretty awesome (the minority). Consequently, management's actions and lack of common sense lead them to get sued and lose clients. They did a rebranding and moved most development to India.

Honestly, I often hesitate to just take personal finance bloggers' word for this kind of stuff -- most of the time, personal finance/"early retirement" personalities write about it because they've done very well with it, which makes sense. But most of the time, they've done very well with it because they have made astronomical amounts of money: $100,000 on HN isn't an earth-stopping amount of money, but a $100,000 salary pretty much anywhere else is an absurd number.

Not everybody is going to pull in that much at their job -- on average, probably less than half of that. Anyway, my point is that those bloggers are probably right, sure, but they're right for their circumstances, which are frequently very unusual.
Thanks for all your suggestions! Yes, we thought about implementing the hover, but we didn't have time for it. It can be tricky as well regarding performance, so we discarded it for this elections.
A trained neural network is like a horrible huge spaghetti code ball you've inherited after a programmer ran over by a bus that for some miraculous reason happens to be working mostly correctly.

However, you won't be able to understand why or how it works. That also means you won't be able to modify/improve/fix it using systematic methods. Only trial and error and it will be 'error' most of the time.
I've had the discussion several times in the past with different managers, and it keeps coming back to "person in chair" as a metric for whether work is being done or not. It's always a matter of trust, or lack of it, that an out of sight employee is getting work done. I don't think that argument has any validity. If you don't trust your staff to actually do their job you have bigger issues, and if you can't measure them any better way than whether they're sitting in a chair in an office, you can't measure them at all (person-in-chair time does not correlate with productivity in my experience).
LOL. No.
