That's so strange. Didn't they claim during their trial that they had handed off TPB to other parties? I'm also quite surprised that they would keep logs that would allow the FBI agents to determine who was the uploader of a certain torrent.
So each programming language are becoming more and more alike. Many of them are not pure OOP or pure functional language anymore.
Math is wide and deep. You won’t need to cover every topic in math to get going with physics. If you really are interested in physics there are many things in math, which are, well, less important (for doing basic physics). For example LCM, GCD and factoring. I guess, these things are somewhat important in Computer Science, but I never encountered them in a physics problem.
So to get started with physics, I would suggest that you focus mainly on analysis (differentiation and integration) and vector algebra. As an addition maybe the basics of complex numbers. This can be learned relatively quickly.

With these you should be able to follow the Feynman lectures or watch the very fine „Theoretical Minimum“ series by Susskind (http://theoreticalminimum.com)
Who is going to pick up the trash, bake bread, repair your car, build your house, build streets, build cars on an assembly line? Less and less people.

Fear is fear. What you fear will manifest itself further if you and others continue to fear it.

> Existing debt would be paid off with the expedient of default and currency devaluation, just as other countries have historically done.

All current debts are held in EUR or other foreign currencies. Currency devaluation won't help with the existing debt. I doubt a single creditor would accept exchanging EUR denominated debts to New Drachme.

> I can't imagine that is a very hard problem to solve.

Even the greek finance minister considers that a major roadblock.

Greece had a primary surplus, it's tethering on the edge of not having a surplus any more. Greece desperately needs money to invest and kick-start its economy. And then there's still the IMF debt and the IMF always wants and gets its money. Even Argentina treated the IMF debts preferential. Who would step up and cover that?
I've seen cases where windows explorer will arbitrarily decide to stop updating an entire folder tree for no apparent reason, at which point being able to push F5 suddenly becomes very handy. Of course, it doesn't help when I tell explorer to create a new folder which doesn't show up, thereby making it impossible to assign it a name until you refresh and then find the "New Folder" you just created.
Hey, lib author here.

Let me first explain Flux in five seconds.

Instead of mutating your models, any data mutation in your app is described as a plain object describing “what happened” (e.g. { type: LIKED_POST, postId: 42 }) and broadcasted globally. Models (called Stores in Flux) have no setters and change their internal state in response to specific mutation objects (called Actions).

The goal of Flux is to have single source of truth and make it easy to avoid race conditions and cascading updates. If some data is wrong, just repeat the same Actions in the same order, and you'll get the same data in Stores. Very easy to debug.

Now, for Redux.

It keeps the properties of Flux (mutations described as objects), but instead of Stores mutating internal state, it has Reducers—pure functions with (state, action) => state signature. While writing Flux apps, I noticed that the _essence_ of every Store I ever wrote was a reducer function.

It turns out that using pure functions instead of event emitters has many benefits: they are composable (https://gist.github.com/gaearon/d77ca812015c0356654f), it is possible to hot reload their logic (https://camo.githubusercontent.com/5688a6141e6a86baca5d25246...).

I wrote Redux for my React Europe talk about Hot Reloading and Time Travel (https://github.com/react-europe/cfp-2015/blob/master/live-re...). It got popular before I explained _why_ I made it. In my talk I show what kind of powerful devtools it is possible to build on top of Redux. The video of my talk will be up soon, you can check when it appears here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCorlLn2oZfgOJ-FUcF2eZ1A?app....

It's even worse: look at the Paint in W7: there is a ribbon, but try to find something as simple as "print" there. No, the Print button is behind the button that drops down the menu. Then look at the Mail in W7 (Live, whatever). Once the big button called "Send and and receive" on the toolbar is also not on the ribbon, but a tiny tiny button on the title bar. If you already have the muscle and visual memory for the older interface, such "illogical" shifts can remain confusing for a long time. Especially to the older people.
I'd say that Java's verbosity doesn't lend itself well to interactive use. There are quite a few REPLs that allow calling Java code from another language, e.g. the integrated Javascript interpreters (run `jjs` in a terminal), BeanShell, Jython, JRuby, etc.

I don't think you understand NVP and debt. You seem to be suggesting Greek debt be discounted at something close to the risk free rate?

These discount rates are correct. The value of a promise of future cash payments from the Greek government is worth far less than one from the US or German governments for example.

If you actually believe that Greek debt should be discounted much less, I'll happily swap any amount of (say 10 year) Greek bonds with you if you give me the equivalent face value of 10 year US treasuries or German bunds. Since you think the NVP should be similar, you should be happy to take the deal.

The really amusing part of this story is Prenda Law.[1]

This was set up by a couple of lawyers as a copyright troll. However, those two lawyers were dumber than Beavis and Butt-head. They filed thousands of lawsuits, hoping for quick settlements. Instead, they were sanctioned by multiple Federal and State courts. With any luck they might actually wind up in Federal prison.

Ars links to numerous articles about them. The Wiki link also has lots of amusing information. So if you think popcorn tastes good, make yourself some and settle in for some very entertaining reading.

> ...cl is far less effective than were the yellow pages...

I find it hard to believe that -for all but the best of the best- cold-calling companies in the hopes that they have a job for you is more effective than contacting companies that have indicated their need to hire someone that possesses a skill set similar to yours.

Job hunting is hard enough. Cold calling every company that employs programmers seems like it is its own circle of Hell. Maybe you're just so good at what you do that people clear a space for you whenever you come knocking, regardless of their current staffing situation. For the rest of us, cold calling is a colossal waste of everyone's time.

Thanks for the pointers. Much appreciated.

I'm doing a full review of mathematics at the moment. Not in depth, more of a "here's an application of the GCD function" so I know what tools to use to solve specific problems. All this is beneficial for the day job as well who expect to see some value from my time spent even though I'm not being totally honest with the objective to them. Realistically I want to think abstractly in the terms of mathematics and develop some intuition.

Was completely unaware of the Theoretical Minimum series. Thanks for that.

Edit: I'm reading Mathematics: From the birth of numbers by Jan Gullberg as a text. Wonderful book. Covers just about everything and is beautifully written by a non mathematician with no assumptions spared and no education target. In fact the forward is mainly bitching about the education system. Slightly worried I will get distracted by this book but that's never a loss!

I certainly don't think of Japan as corrupt in the more common way, but in terms of being institutionally compromised, the Japanese government is effectively in the business of maintaining and giving money to the institutionally corrupt construction industry, permanently and forever, no matter how unnecessary and unwanted the construction is. They have got some outstandingly unnecessary and unwanted construction programmes.

Certainly by no means one of the most corrupt, though.

Skype is one of my most hated programs.

And a reason for that is the utter absurdity in regards to account deletion. You have to do fairly standard things like identify email, password and some contacts.... but you also have to know the EXACT month and year of which you signed up. And unless you got lucky and didn't delete your sign up email up there is no possible way to find out. When I first signed up, I had a ridiculous name like everyone else did back in the day, and I wanted to just move on. Not very serious, I know, but this issue can be for many circumstances.

I really wish that some legislation would be passed for a "Nuke" button standard on all digital platforms that allows you or a designed individual to erase profiles at will.

Personalization
The generic design of today's gadgets leave so many design controls with the gadget manufacturers that the resulting end user experience becomes too generic which results in a lemming effect where everyone just goes after "well engineered" generic designs. Of course the economies of large scale that generalization enables help bring down cost. But, we should no longer be looking at cost as the primary driver of product quality. The lemming effect results in several negative side effects such as gadget addiction and information overdose. The answer to this is to build gadgets from the ground up, personalized to the needs of their users.

This post horrified me. This may be due to two factors: (1) having not written any serious C++ in the past year and (2) a focus on "correct" or "easily verifiable" code.

I can understand the urge to want to have the speed and power of move, but it feels like you're destructively working around the standard. The proposed API in SetStringer seems very dangerous; you're passing back a const ref to a string that isn't really const at all (successive calls after the set has been updated will mutate it's state, users may be unaware of this).

Move, copy, and (const) references each have their place and should be used accordingly. Move when you want a transfer of ownership, copy when you want duplication (at this instance) of ownership to another owner, ref when you want shared ownership. The intent of the article seems to actively go against these intents; stinos' comment sums up the rest of my feelings perfectly.
Abiword is a lightweight word processor. You'd probably want to use Abiword's template feature to set defaults to what you want. EG I prefer light text on dark backgrounds. I like monospaced fonts. I have all the toolbars turned off.

http://www.abisource.com/wiki/FAQ/Always_save_as_Word

Otherwise, any text editor you like for most of the stuff and the tools you need for the other stuff. gedit for all the texty stuff, and then import it into a WP to apply styles and export to PDF.

I guess I misunderstand your question: why don't you just use a word-processor for everything, and save as text? Why don't you just use a text editor and then import into a WP when needed?

As far as your comments, all I can say is that I shaped my opinion based on statistics and what other greeks told me.

Thanks for your reply, BinaryIdiot.

The gold standard also ensures accessibility (the responsibility for accessibility is transferred from browser maker to developer). I suspect many developers, even Google in some of their examples, will forget to add it or think it doesn't apply to them/their app, I find this a huge concern (the web until now embraced accessibility as a universal value).

Web Components are not ‘just’ composites of plain old HTML, some styling and JavaScript, they require tooling and polyfilling (and some polyfilling will make apps slow for users that don't have the latest tech). This is potentially bad for new people in the industry (have to learn many tools before they can get started), and bad for users (as their device might be toos low).

> Could this be used as initial propeler to raise a rocket high enough to use this technique as a "first stage engine" in flying object out into space?

I don't really see how. You'd need some kind of gigantic and fairly stable platform to shoot the jet from - if you have that, it would be easier to just launch the rocket from that.

And you're forgetting the fact that we seldom just launch stuff "into space" - we want it in orbit. Only about 20% of the delta-v budget of a typical launch to orbit is the "vertical" component, the large majority is spent on attaining angular ("sideways") velocity. So you'd be doing an awful lot of work just to cut down that 20% by, say, a quarter - it's simply not worth it.

The Real Reason Google Serves All That Free Food
This reminded me the description of Tibetan Buddhist teachings about the nature of the mind from the book "The Joy of Living" by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche:

"Later, when I came to the West, I heard a number of psychologists compare the experience of 'mind' or 'self' to watching a movie. When we watch a movie, they explained, we seem to experience a continuous flow of sound and motion as individual frames pass through a projector. The experience would be drastically different, however, if we had the chance to look at the film frame by frame.

"This is exactly how my father [Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche] began to teach me to look at my mind. If I observed every thought, feeling, and sensation that passed through my mind, the illusion of a limited self would dissolve, to be replaced by a sense of awareness that is much more calm, spacious, and serene. And what I learned from other scientists was that because experience changes the neuronal structure of the brain, when we observe the mind this way, we can change the cellular gossip that perpetuates our experience of our 'self'."
