Why ANY government would use closed-source US software has always been beyond me. The only explanation I can think of is utter ignorance. Not even bribery explains it (which I know is a BIG part of it, but still makes zero sense from nation

There shouldn't be a need for any petition. A government with the illusion that it can "ban encryption" has already lost all authority and credibility, so should not be governing anyone.

Looks awesome, I've been wanting something like this. Trying to install it from Git, however (as the README suggests) fails, because Pip can't find click>=4.1 and urwid>=1.2.1. EDIT: To resolve this, before installing do thi

I broke the US rules. I worked on my student visa, got thrown around four different prisons throughout Pennsylvania and New York in the span of 30-something days and was finally deported (with airfare that I had to pay for). I was in my fin

Meditation is NOT an absolute goal with an absolute value in and of itself. The whole point of meditation is to help get you in a state of flow. If, once in that state, you ignore your impulses, you're no longer in the flow. You might

Here's a tool that you can play with to see how well Elixir scales with an embarrassingly parallel task (matrix multiplication) when throwing more CPU cores at it: https://github.com/a115/exmatrix

That's very generous. Not sure if this matches your criteria, but I've been wanting to run some extensive benchmark tests on the most multi-core EC2 instance that I can get for this Elixir project: https://github.com&#x

Although not 100% required, a lot of this applies to Europe and to the UK in particular. What's a paper cheque?

You had to fish hard for this example, didn't you? Sometimes, genius strikes and you get something so precisely thought out and so well executed that it lasts for generations. Still, I'd have to answer your question in the affirma

This is absurd. A finished project is a dead project. If it isn't improving, it's dying. Never finish your projects (unless you're just doing homework). Software is a system. Systems of any non-trivial complexity are living t

This might have been the cover story, but is VERY far from the actual reason the "EU project" exists. As with all similar noble initiatives, the EU has much less to do with fairness and much more with power concentration (as is be

I personally don't differentiate between week-days and weekends. I often work on weekends (and probably just as often take weekdays completely off). But generally, when I speak about vacation time in the context above, I mean it as in

Try everything you can to get away from your day job and to some kind of working arrangement that gives you more free time. With that said, while you are still at your day job, definitely count everything you do there as accomplishment. You

My circumstances are not TOO different from most other people on here (if anything, my lifestyle is probably more demanding than that of most). I certainly don't have any unusual wealth that allows me to dangle my feet most of the time

Oh, I fully agree with that - in fact, in certain other European countries it is more like 0.10%, but that's not the point. The point is - I don't understand all the whining going on here. If I make £500K a year, and I gave it up

So, everyone here is bothered that people like to eat well and take family vacations (is this really your definition of "luxury" lifestyle? You guys sound like coal mine workers.) But you're all perfectly fine with the govern

Can you clarify your "central European" remark? It comes off a bit offensive... And while you're at it, can you explain how exactly you imagine making ordinary communication more expensive? Last but not least, where in the wo
