Everybody is waiting for the story of somebody hacking a 747 and flying it from the economy plus section.

It'll happen eventually, but hacking the computer that filed the flight plan is not hacking the plane.

If LOT had a few back up laptops on a different network they would have been able to file flight plans with no delays.

State of the art, space aged technology.
Why would you bring your partner into a "failed state?"
If you haven't tried using a Mac, I recommend buying one and seeing what the experience is like (I believe you can also lease them if you'd prefer). I found the productivity upgrade from Win/Linux to be massive. I also just enjoy using my computer more than I used to. It's not for everyone, and maybe you're just not into the look and feel, but I can't recommend the "give it 5 minutes" advice (or in this case, maybe 5 weeks) enough. If you like it, then problem solved :)

Once these countries leave the euro, they will have weak currencies that will make it easy for them to underprice Germany.

All this talk of "weak currencies" is delusional. It doesn't matter if workers get paid in Euros, Drachmas, Bitcoins, or precious metals; those currencies are all interchangeable.

Now, there is a way that Greece could underprice Germany -- a way which is likely to happen if Greece leaves the Euro, and which happened before Greece entered the Euro. That way is by paying workers less. Of course, this has the effect of lowering the standard of living; that is, roughly speaking, to lower the Greek standard of living to what it was before Greece entered the Eurozone and inflated their economy with lavish borrowing.

Of course, there would be (more) riots in the streets if the Greek government legislated wage cuts for the private sector. So Greece will exit the Euro, spent a tremendous amount of effort converting X EUR/hour wages to Y GRD/hour; then the Drachma will be devalued to bring wages in line with market forces. Same net result, but slower, more expensive, and less riot-prone.
Singling out Greece's creative accounting in Euro accession as the main problem is blaming the victim here. A lot of the countries did it to some extent, the EU turned a blind eye. And most of Greece's budget deficit happened only after joining the Euro. Greece is despite their own share of f-ups largely a casualty of the systemic problems and EU's failure in handling of the crisis.

Good lord.

Yet, somehow, someone might still present the solution as needing to spend more money sooner: It was only when OPM was assessing systems to actually implement the sort of continuous monitoring tools ... that OPM security officers discovered traffic outbound from the network. If only they'd demo'd the software a year ago, right? /s

I really like Slack. Where I work each team has its own Slack chat with various channels. I work in IT, our more general team is about 30 people and my more focused team is 7 people. We have specific channels for each focus group, and then a general channel for the entire team.

Since we've used Slack I feel more up to date and more in the know because I can keep up with what everyone is talking about. I have keywords that give me an alert when someone mentions my name or specific things in which I specialize. I've been able to quickly offer help to those who might not have immediately thought to bring their issue directly to me as a result, and have had the same happen in regard to problems I bring up in channel. It reminds me very much of hanging out on IRC when I was a teenager, but an IRC built for business.

Sharing files, code, screencaptures, etc is easy and intuitive. The integrations are useful: GitHub, Zoom video conferencing, Dropbox - having these items easily available only make Slack blend more seamlessly into my day.

I like Slack, and reading this blog post I couldn't help but feel this was more a mismatch for the author's use-case than a problem with the application.
Whoops, I didn't realize this was visible!

Interesting take on a vague and, IMHO, insoluble question due to its intrinsic subjectivity based on an agent's previous exposure to its observable world.

On 18 June 2015 the Lufthansa site looked like this %templateSomethingVar/somethingVar1% and lots of variables like that (not sure what template system were they using). Now it's okay.

But Polish airlines is down too (unrelated systems I guess)... but could this be something coordinated?

Ah... probably not :)
If your wife doesn't already exercise, she should start. Even just a 20-30 minute walk after meals is a solid start.

As far as the prenatal diet, there are, to my understanding, two important elements. One is folate. The other is maintaining a healthy weight. Your wife isn't eating for two, she's eating for 1.1 or so. Although the crave-induced trips to the ice cream shop are fine for movies, being overweight is associated with complications during pregnancy and delivery. Not a doctor, this is just what I read as I read up on this during my own wife's pregnancy.

Early child rearing is pretty damn basic. Feed the kid as much as they will eat. Breastmilk is best, but formula is better than not having enough. They sleep better when well fed, so it can make the first few weeks a lot less hellish if you have some formula on hand if your wife's production isn't up yet. There's not anything else to it for at least 15 months from where you are now, so I wouldn't sweat those details yet. You'll have more than enough to deal with between now and then.

To err on the side of cautions, minimize the use of TV screens in the room where the baby is hanging out, even as background noise.

Hospital-grade breast pumps are more than worth the $90 rental fee. Even better if your insurance will pay.

Do whatever you can to resolve any conflict anti-patterns you have with your wife now. This part does not get easier once the baby arrives.
People Don't Realize How Many Jobs Will Soon Be Replaced by Software Bots
...and the open web will be the 2nd thing to go. If businesses that rely on a walled garden approach (Facebook, a lot of "software as a service", etc) and the paranoid cartels that rely on re-creating scarcity (the {RI,MP}AA, "ebooks", what's left of newspapers) can bypass the DOM and render directly, they will.

Does anybody seriously think that the people that try to disable the right-click context menu in a futile attempt to prevent people from using "save as" will bother to re-create copy-paste support? Is anybody delusional enough to believe that businesses will pay developers to add back in proper URL deep-linking support into their "app" with custom rendering that loads page content AngularJS-style?

Sure, those of us that know what we are doing can [decompile and] read the source and bypass the whole mess. That doesn't help normal people, and worse it's a workaround; links will still be broken. Additionally, who knows how courts will interpret "decompiling" WebAssembly. Does that count as a "technological measure that effectively controls access" under the DMCA?

The requirement of rendering to the DOM puts de facto limits on what can be done on the client, which is part of what has made the internet and the web so successful. Giving those that wish to lock up the commons the tools they need to build their own locks will be one of the worst things to happen to the internet. Unfortunately, I suspect that a lot of the people that should understand these issues will be distracted by shiny toys and promises about better tools and faster apps when they should be thinking about how the technologies they support will affect their future.

My understanding is the rest of the pigs are, relative to Greece, much more viable [...]

This explains why today, after the financial crisis of 2007/08, it happens to be Greece in this miserable situation. Greece was the weakest link of Euro countries.

However, imagine a world in which there is a precedent for a Euro exit, and another recession hits. Big funds that have money tied in government bonds will want to exit bonds of weaker countries out of fear that the Greek story repeats.

This then creates the same self-fulfilling vicious cycle that hit Greece: as creditors move elsewhere, interest rates for the weakest countries increase, which worsens those countries' fiscal position, which makes more creditors leave, etc.

In such a situation, it is easy for the weakest link to be pushed over the brink.

Bailing Greece out would be trowing good money after bad.

Keep in mind that Greece isn't actually asking for more money for Greece. The Greek government was running a primary surplus for some time, and is perhaps even running one today, or at least close to it. The only reason for the Greek government to be in deficit is the interest payment, which means that all money that is being "thrown at Greece" actually ends up abroad in creditor countries!
Apparently last year's major failure was caused by their Oracle data warehouse going down hard:

http://foia.state.gov/_docs/PIA/ConsularConsolidatedDatabase...

"The Consular Consolidated Database (CCD) is one of the largest Oracle based data warehouses in the world that holds current and archived data from the Consular Affairs (CA) domestic and post databases around the world. As of December 2009, it contains over 100 million visa cases and 75 million photographs, utilizing billions of rows of data, and has a current growth rate of approximately 35 thousand visa cases every day"

Unclear what's gone wrong this time, but the mention of "biometrics" (like photographs) makes me suspect it's the same system.

I have a daughter approaching 18mo, so not that far ahead of you. Some thoughts:

* This is both more work and more fun than you can imagine :).

* Don't dumb things down too much. I noticed my daughter can often understand more than I "expect" at the time, so I take care not to e.g. simplify how I speak/teach too much (clarity and repetition is important, but they make leaps all the time so don't hold back too much).

* Lots of people will offer an opinion, myself included, but find your own way. Do what comes naturally (although I am not what you'd call a natural with babies, once I had one of my own it feels natural after all).

* If your partner is doing most of the care while you work (common for the Mums still these days) do not underestimate how hard/tiring it is for her! It is relentless work/focus that is much more tiring than a day in an office (despite also being full of fun!). Get home early to spend time with your baby and help with the evening routine.

* You will start to value sleep like never before. ;)

The single best thing we've done is split child care responsibilities evenly. After the first year (when my wife was off full time and breast feeding) we moved to 4 days of work each, with our respective weekdays off used to look after our daughter. This has made my bond with her a lot closer, and I have the experience/knowledge to split shared care time better with my wife (often there is one "default" parent who ends up doing too much work).
I think you're taking that a bit too literally: I interpreted that as "we've got 100 tech guys and we've told them to fix this ASAP". Which, this being government, likely means 99 of them frantically trying to cover their asses and 1 guy doing the work.

If you're into building such site, one thing missing from most technology stories is an in-depth explanations(or even smart analysis by the right bloggers) about the technology and how it works, and not the watered-down stuff that usually goes around.

I'm sure the community here would love such a site, i know i would.

And you don't have to write it , just aggregate stuff, and i'm sure users would be happy to share.
It's pretty rare for an app to need root privileges. You typically need root to write to the system dirs (/usr/* /bin etc). And in this particular case, the app has access (by design) to your terminal, so yeah, you need to trust the app a bit. But why would you need to demand all users of your system (even if that's just system users) also trust it?

Put it in ~/opt with xstow, and add ~/opt/bin to your path, ~/opt/man to your man-path, ~/opt/include, ~/opt/lib... to the various paths.

In this case, it seems like a lot of effort to get a tgz-archive just to download a single executable. I gather it's distributed as an archive in order for the Changelog, Readme and License to be available -- but as it's all downloaded from github anyway, it's hard to see why that really matters (rather than just have -h spit out a link or two).

As, if you're using a normal, full-featured web browser, there's no way of knowing if what you select, is what you copy and then paste -- it would probably be better to just link directly to the latest binary release for the various platforms (linux32, linux64, linux-arm, OSX 32bit, OSX 64bit) -- and let the user save the binary somewhere.

Limit the "command line instructions" to:

go get github.com/asciinema/asciinema

rather than fighting idiomatic go practices.

Agreed. I initially felt the website was nice enough but it seems to be putting off some people.

I was at a party this weekend with a bunch of 20 somethings here in Singapore - and that's all they used - Nobody even mentioned Spotify - they just logged onto the wireless and added their songs to the queue - it was slick and 100% free (to the user) - and seriously, I don't recall a single ad in 3+ hours.
I've only seen advice so far on how you can "get faster", but I believe the real issue here is that you are being perceived as being slow by a manager who might not know the value of what you are doing.

I had a manager tell me I was slow at one of my last jobs as well.

A few months later, I was having trouble convincing her to give me a promotion/raise. I knew I was doing the same amount of work as everyone else, if not more, and I was fixing a lot of bugs caused by developers 2 or 3 levels above me. Our 1 on 1 meetings consisted of me listing the reasons why I deserved a raise, and my manager telling me no, but never a good reason why. She even read me the guidelines for what the company looks for in engineers at each level, and I was doing all of it and more, but still no raise.

I ended up quitting (not just because of the pay), and taking my skills to an awesome new job where I was considered a top engineer, and I'm really proud of everything I got done there. The new company gave me a raise when I asked for it because they valued me more than my previous company.

My personal advice is to look for a new job where you can apply your skills where the company needs them, and make a good impression from the beginning. The added bonus being that you'll be able to negotiate a higher salary with the new job as well.
The high value project is a great place to find the parts that require the least amount of effort on your part but will have the highest value to the company and deliver those first. As an engineer this feels like "cheating". It's not, you are being prudent.

I just finished reading The Effective Engineer by Ed Lau and highly recommend it( https://www.theeffectiveengineer.com/book ). It covers both concrete (like keep a daily log) and more general ideas(e.g. your work is measured by the value it produces for the company, not the effort you put into it).

No book can really prepare you. The best thing to do is bask in the moment for now and start to slowly but surely prepare.

For now, make sure the baby is healthy and everything is going well in there. High five your wife too - she's going to be carrying a lot all too soon!

As for the whole process, I found the best thing for me was simply learning from and observing fathers I respect and admire. My grandfather is probably one of the biggest influences on my own journey as a father, but I've done mt best to absorb what seems wise from many people I know.

In the end, just observe, absorb, learn - and discard what you consider unwise or not suited to how you want to be as a father,

And of course, many congratulations!!
This is a very interesting point. I also believe that a proper fiscal structure for the Euro area is the only way for the Euro to survive long term. This means a Euro government, Euro area taxes, Euro area social systems, etc.

Is this a hard choice? Actually, I suspect that the choice isn't hard at all for Greece. I imagine that the Greek people would be among the easiest to convince of such a change, if it happened in a fair way where all countries are treated equally. If Greece were not treated like a vasal state, but instead simply as one of many countries that together give up some rights to a central democractic Euro government, that might well be a price that the Greek people are willing to pay for recovery within the Euro.

But good luck trying to get the Germans and other northern countries to agree to something like that.

Manage expectations. Children can be a lot more stressful than many people anticipate. Plan for sleep interruptions and discuss with your partner how you might manage sleep disruption so you both get some sleep rather than both of you getting next to none. Realize that nappies need to be changed a lot, you will get stains on your lush carpet and stuff will get broken. The amazing highlights you might already be imagining might make up 5-10% of the experience of having children - the other 90% ranges from the boring/mundane to the maddening/frustrating/despair inducing. Hopefully that 5% will outshine the rest, and for many people it will, but realize it won't be all peaches and cream. And be prepared for CHANGE. In your life, your partners life, and especially in your relationship. You live by a whole different set of rules now, and special time together (just you and your partner), let alone time to yourself, may become a distant memory for a few years. Your partners body will change, and may never see its pre-baby days, your sex life will be hit and miss for a long time, and there is in fact a whole lot of stuff that will never be the same again. Be prepared to accept and deal with this change, and learn to love it.

Be realistic, and develop strategies to deal with the reality of having a second full-time job. I think this whole space is ripe for "lifehacker" style innovation, so go for it. Above all remember that it is not all about YOU anymore - it is about a little life you have created, and your happiness will no longer come from getting what you want on a daily basis, but from seeing this little life develop and flourish into a healthy and happy person.

And good luck!
