Circa 2009, while attending graduate school at the University of Minnesota, I was a student of Dr. Nick Hopper, whose CS research team were intensely focused on ways to deanonymize TOR traffic using an impressive variety of techniques. One that stood out was using statistical analysis of netflow to correlate browsing patterns. Considering that last-mile bandwidth providers also gather netflow and often provide flow data to three letter agencies, being able to map flows from known exit nodes to last mile service providers isn't rocket surgery. After an early initial exposure to some of their research, I never placed any trust in TOR. I still have a quote from Dr. Hopper on my laptop login screen, to serve as a reminder: "The problem with privacy on the Internet is that people believe it exists."
Spent 3 days in London a while back and at one point I felt as though I was inhaling airborne bits of glass.
I've left London. I went to Canada, Quebec. If I come back I'll go up North.

I'll never work in a "world city" again. It's a waste of time. Over time I grew to hate London and I have zero regrets about leaving. My biggest fear is having to go back.
>> That's a pretty huge range from very poor to quite well off, without being more specific it's hard to judge any of the claims the author makes.

Not really, unless you're very high earning then getting what he wanted, a three+ bed house with a garden, and not so far away as to make life difficult for commuting, is very very expensive.

>> That's actually asking quite a lot from a city especially a huge capital city. Pretty hard to find peace and quiet in capital city - there's usually a lot going on. But to be fair in London you actually can find it in one of the many parks. Also, there aren't enough apartments/houses (hence high rents) yet you think asking for one with a garden isn't asking a lot.

That's exactly the point, in most of the country and most of the world it's not asking that much.

He's reached a state where the benefits of 'city' do not outweigh the compromises one has to make to live there.

If that balance is not something that's tipped for you (yet?) then cool. For many, many of us it has.
Apt timing. I'm in the process of bailing out of London and heading about 200 miles west.

Honestly I earn a shit ton of cash but I can't actually find anywhere that I can actually face putting the cash down on. I looked at a new development 3 bedroom flat last week for £419k that was made of the cheapest possible construction and you could hear your neighbours farting through the walls. The view was another new development block, some office buildings, the M4 flyover and a ton of haze in the atmosphere.

So I'm bailing out west a long way. Half the salary but there is less disparity in quality of life and property prices.
Whilst London is quite apart from the rest of the UK. It isn't the only place in the UK with disproprtionately high rents. Oxford, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, anywhere with a bouyant jobs market you pay over the odds for compared to Europe.

Granted not as high as London, but as a % of income not dissimilar at the end of the month.
Right, arguably what the Confederacy truly stood for is State's Rights, which is a totally good American thing, right? It's part of what our country was founded on!

It just so happens that their flagship "right" was the most evil and hateful thing to have ever happened systematically in America. That's why the defense of the flag falls short: in broad scope, it stands for something that really is actually kind of good. But when you take into consideration the details, it's racist as fuck.

Edit: to add on, this is the same argument as "Hitler had some good ideas". Not technically untrue, but they're far from the ideas Hitler as a figure really stands for.
Complex data structures have to be boiled into C-style structs to get any significant speedup

I've never really played with it, but cython does have mappings between python builtin types and STL containers, as well as letting you create C++ classes using cython syntax that you can inherit from and access in python.
The answer is no, no you can not.
Nope the UK establishment will double down on it again as the UK is using land to print money. Without this reality catches up with UK living standards.

It will crash but they won't just let it happen.

That's a london thing, it's (approximately) only a pound or two in a lot of other places.
True... you get a lot for the price of a studio in London really.
lol. I was there too ! although it was rainy in MK when i reached there. I liked the place too. Its not rich in heritage so to speak. But for a decent middle class living with family and kids I think its a nice place.

Also not to mention you could commute to Birmingham should you get a good offer from there.
I was taught that the southern states were simply for states rights and doing the "fuck this we're out" thing but that storyline is highly revisionist. They had dreams of empire as well. If you read what they were saying at the time it's scary and enlightening:

That being said, I think the confederate flag is a terrible symbol to be proud of but the reaction to this game is a huge overcorrection. I have played it and it's a great game that gave me a ton of respect and insight into how pivotal that battle was. Leave it to us Americans to focus on learning the wrong lessons and applying simplistic rules to a nuanced situation.

I'll use this next time :)
I mean, that's important, but the other nuances I mentioned can change in just the same way. An adept translator can capture these things without resorting to lots of untranslated Japanese (although whether the people doing fansubs are adept is a different question... often there are quite obvious misunderstandings of what was said in the fansubs I've seen).
>>if the rent doesn't get you, the train fare will.

Hence why I only go there visit friends, I don't work there.

Well, I did for a while last year, but the rate on offer was large enough to offset the cost. It wasn't large enough to offset the 3+ hours a day spent in a train though, so I don't do it any more.

It's not as much of a world city as London or New York but we quite like Berlin (moved there from cities smaller, more expensive and with worse career prospect).

It's not for everyone but if you're in tech or media it can be quite attractive.
Speaking of Bayes, there's a great book by Allen B. Downey 'Think Bayes' http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkbayes/ available as free PDF or (if you wish to support the author, which I did) a paperback from Amazon.

It teaches Bayes theorem accompanied with Python code examples, which I found really useful.

I suspect that this has something to do with the fact that a portion of the administrative work is offloaded to the broker.

I never met anyone from the lender when I got my mortgage. All of the background investigation, income/employment verification and paperwork was completed with the broker.
'per calendar month' - in the UK there's a bit of a tradition of quoting rental prices (and footballers' wages) per week, so it's best to specify which you mean.
> Exactly how famous is this library?

It is the de-facto standard for anything that has to interact with a API, or just HTTP in general. The old way to do these sort of things was the urllib2 module (part of the Python standard library). urllib2 has some design flaws and can be a pain to work with.
Per calendar month. It is used very often in rental adverts.
Ah, so you’re German, too? xD

Most WWII games still use the real symbols in other places, and, while under German law Art is exempt from the Swastika ban (you have to endorse the swastika and glorify it to be illegal), no publisher actually tried to get their game classified as art yet, so they just remove it, as it's easier and less risky.
niicee ! Yeah apparently midland trains are quite empty. Maybe I l do that as well !
I didn't even notice that part, very true. I think it should probably be gorequests. Sounds better than grequests anyways.
The public implementation consists of smaller private parts.

If the public test fails, how do you know what specific part of the public implementation was responsible for the change?
FWIW, I never took you seriously, because I cannot imagine a serious adult flagging someone for libel for stating an unpleasant fact.
I think it's important to think about the audience a bit. In an academic translation, sure, go nuts with long footnotes. But I think in the case of something intended primarily to entertain people you should make some concessions to practicality. Even many fansubs just swap in some English pun to go for the same effect (which leads to kind of funny results like fans who watched the fansubs complaining the dub "changed the original dialogue" from something that was also not the original dialogue).
In the sense that I can trust it to be around five years from now. Google has, today, a bad perception in terms of product lifetime.

Germany is different because of the way they make land available for people to build. The UK is all about only letting big builders put up housing and taking a huge cut. This keeps prices nice and high so people have to borrow their lifetime income. This way the maximum economic rent is extracted from workers.

The UK is totally anti-worker. It's a rentier paradise run for the benefit of The City.

You still have to go through the config and enable/disable things for your project. That's the biggest barrier; the lack of good default configs to use for flake8 and pylint. If Google or Microsoft or someone else supplied one, I'd just take it and drop it into every project. One less headache to worry about.
You are right, it is compile-time reflection, which I think is the most interesting one for C++.

My mistake then! Here is more data. I believe anyone in the 100% to 120% LTV will stay current on their mortgage; anyone else above 120% LTV? Highly possible they'll default.

From Zillow:

"Nationally, of the homeowners who are underwater, around half are only underwater by 20 percent or less, which is to say they are close to escaping negative equity. (Figure 2) On the other hand, 1.9 percent of all owners with a mortgage remain deeply underwater, owing at least twice what their home is worth. Of the largest metro areas, markets with above average rates of deeply underwater homeowners include Las Vegas (3.8 percent), Chicago (3.8 percent), Atlanta (3.5 percent), Detroit (3.3 percent) and Miami (2.8 percent)"

Almost half of the borrowers with negative equity have a LTV of 100% to 120% (8.2% in Q4 2014). Most of these borrowers are current on their mortgages - and they have probably either refinanced with HARP or their loans are well seasoned (most of these properties were purchased in the 2004 through 2006 period, so borrowers have been current for ten years or so). In a few years, these borrowers will have positive equity.

The key concern is all those borrowers with LTVs above 140% (about 5.2% of properties with a mortgage according to Zillow). It will take many years to return to positive equity ... and a large percentage of these properties will eventually be distressed sales (short sales or foreclosures).
I found most tools very verbose but I've yet to use a tool where it doesn't have the ability to exclude certain warnings.
Debugger! Surprised no one has mentioned it yet. I work in js and php, both of which I use the debugger a lot.

Set a breakpoint, burn through the code. Chrome has some really nice features - you can tell it to skip over files (like jQuery) you can open the console and poke around, set variables to see what happens.

Stepping though the code line by line for a few hours will soon show you the basics.

Whenever I'm reading through Go code and come across something that uses this sort of abstraction library, I usually just close it and move on. The stdlib is really nice and I find code that stays as "vanilla" Go as possible to be the easiest to read.
Yeah, but in one of the world's top cities, asking for a 3-bed house with garden and fresh air - wtf, why not ask for a hunting forest while you're at it?

Do you ask for a 3-bed house with garden in Manhattan? Do you think a 3-bed house with garden in downtown Tokyo is just a reasonable expectation for the average person? I'd love my 3-bed house with garden just off the Champs Elysés, too, why not. Perhaps one on the space station too.

London is one of the world's top cities. If you don't want to live there, fine - but don't bitch about how unfair it is that you can't get some kind of dream property in one of the most desirable places in the world, where tens if not hundreds of millions of people want to live in a space that only supports a fraction of that...
Although, we don't yet know what the problem is or if that's a symptom. If it is a symptom, then the flag is just another symptom.

I speak of course, that the knee jerk reaction wasn't even a day after the shooting based on people's misguided views and stereotypes of the south. Recent evidence points to the shooter having black friends, and talked of shooting up other places for non-racist reasons, so the whole race motivated thing could just be a ruse to gain notoriety. But sure, the flag thing is the most important thing the controversy loving media wants to cover since it distracts from the T.P.P. being passed, and waiting for all the facts to come in doesn't make for good ratings. Also, no reason to focus on the victims recovery from this tragedy, or the long history of the AME Zion church, or the struggles they've gone through in the past, focusing on the shooter is better.

It's totally ammunition, because its a side show, it has little tangential relationship to the actual event. It's grasping at straws to find a root cause we can fix.
I have talked to several HR directors (heh, though not as a job candidate, just people around in bars) who would see my last 3 years of very successful freelancing as a "break in work history". I'm probably unhirable at most of the places near where I live (Washington DC) but I'm actually fine with that.
You are not paying for the building it's the land cost.

Good for you, get out. Even better if you can leave the UK and starve out the UK treasury.

Also the quality of life is better. Shorter hours as less wage slaves terrified of loosing their job as they live hand to mouth. Less busy. Easier to get out into nature.
When I have a new code base that I'm unfamiliar with and need to understand it quickly, I'll go line-by-line and add comments about what I believe to be the intended behavior. As I gain more knowledge I'll update the comments. For me explaining something I've learned helps me commit it to memory better, and makes sure I really did comprehended what I just read.

Retro reflectives and their impact on accident rates is still pretty contentious within the bicycle community, and personally, I think it gives people a false and very dangerous sense of security and visibility.

As a daily bicycle commuter and motorcyclist, the only rule I follow is that I am invisible when on two wheels. So I ride in a way that makes me safe, and that usually means doing things that most people would probably find dangerous.

In over 15 years of daily commuting (yes, all through the winter, too) I've been hit a half dozen times. The majority of those accidents were intentionally caused by the car driver, only a couple were truly faultless. None of them were the result of the driver not seeing me, they were all the result of the driver behaving badly.

A reflective jacket or spray isn't going to do ANYTHING if the driver decides that they own the lane and they're okay mowing you down to get it. That to me is the big flaw with any conspicuity safety measure, it relies on drivers actually being aware of the road around them and honoring your use of it. At least around here in DC, those two things are seldom present.

Most riders are foolishly naive about their safety. Traffic laws aren't going to keep your head from bouncing off a hood, and a reflective vest isn't going to make the driver put down their cell phone and pay attention to the road.

I've had this one stacked up on my reading list for a while:
http://camdavidsonpilon.github.io/Probabilistic-Programming-...

It details how to use the PyMC library via iPython notebooks. I'm not sure if iPython qualifies as an easy to use app though.
Well, I'm not very good at this either but here's what I do. I usually work on modular projects where there are hundreds of files in the project. I usually skip directly to locating the file where I've to make amends (using a lot of grep. grep for function and object definitions, grep for usage patterns, grep for checking how to implement something). Thus, I learn about the codebase as I go along.

Sure, this is not the best practice, and unsuitable for many, but it's what works for me.

"lesser skilled management is attempting to hire down for political control"

There is often a degree of "will this guy show how little I really know and take my position" in hiring decisions.

One of the marks of a really good manager is being able to make use of people's abilities without being threatened by them. I've found this ability somewhat rare.
ROP gadgets are usually harvested from libraries loaded into the program, not MP3 files.

The key novel idea in ROP is to use instruction sequences in unintended ways. ROP is a refinement of ret2libc, improving on it by returning into arbitrary locations in functions rather than their entry points. That, and of chaining together gadgets with returns. Hence the name.
This is usually how I do it for libraries:

* Read the README.

* Install it and start using it with a couple of sample cases. That will give you an idea of what it does.

* Read the test suite. This will give you a better idea of what the library does.

* Look at the directory structure. This should tell you where things are.

* Start reading the core files.

* Start looking at open issues. Try to solve one by adding a test and changing the code.

* Submit a pull request.
That's a remarkably low barrier to entry. Not to mention that the coding standard they are enforcing is based on the official language coding standards - that makes them very reasonable defaults.
I recently visited London from the US and stayed at my aunt and uncles house on the south coast. Their old little house in is worth £600,000 which is insane (12X what they paid for it), simply because it's a hour or so by train to London! The price inflation of real estate anywhere near London is worse than SF. Compared to that in D/FW area my modern 2000sf house is $180,000.
