2018-07-15 at 1:07 PM UTC in To Putin or Not to PutinHe's one of the few current world leaders who has the respect and support of the vast majority of his people, for one.
After the Soviet Union fell apart Russia's infrastructure (largely their energy industries and public infrastructure) was sliced up and sold off to and by US interests under the auspices of Yeltsin. Putin was hugely responsible for pushing out the oligarchs and rebuilding the country at great personal risk to himself, and has been guiding the country fairly well ever since.
Keep in mind that contrary to popular belief (in propaganda), Putin's ideology is very 'moderate'. Russia has it's own 'deep state' and 'fifth column' - their 'deep state' is mostly cold-war era dedicated nationalists and the 'fifth column' is US/EU-funded neoliberals. The nationalists hate that Putin is not responding harshly to the constant political (ie. sanctions and the Skripals) and even military attacks (specifically in Syria) in favour of working with the 'west', and the neoliberals hate that he's working with China to upend the global economy and taking economic power away from the current magnates.
He's in a very difficult position and has so far maintained an excellent track record...The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2018-07-10 at 1:43 AM UTC in I tink I really fucked upThere cars coming and going in the driveway into this unit. and I just happened to notice a mini roll up and 8 clowns got out of it. and walked off down the street and jumped on the 53 bus to North Berkeley or even farther.
but I saw someone moving around in the back, I looked into my binochulars and saw what clearly looked like someone with binochulars staring back at me.
I walked over to the clown car and noticed it was a child. left in the back. it's like 85 degrees out but I figured it must be 120 with all the windows rolled up and it was tinted windows.
I smashed the window and a clown alarm went off. people were looking out their windows.. in the back was a midget and not a child. but it was a rubber sex midget with a french goatee done with a sharpee on its face. and binochulars were actually just the wide eyes and giant O shaped mouth.
it's still making a honking sound. like a clowns bike horn. HONK HONK HONK.

Originally posted by Grimace It wasn't even the presentation. It was how you sound like you're talking through a cup attached to a string, attached to a mic on the other end. In addition to that, you don't enunciate your words much. I understand you're drunk, but holy shit. You're so soft-spoken and can barely speak. You sound intimidated by the microphone. Fix dat' shit.
Nah dawg, that's how I establish myself as the beta in any situation. I make people strain to hear me despite my low volume mumbling and tangental speech pattern to force them to listen to me. Make them jump through some hoops to understand what I'm saying because it's just that important and they need to the stream of pearls of wisdom I leave in my wake.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2018-07-07 at 3:24 AM UTC in You never truly miss something until it's goneFeminism is such a frustrating movement because it’s one of those situations where western civilization went polar opposite of the norm and that never works in solving any issue.
I’m not sure that people placed a lot of emphasis on happiness hundreds of years ago and I don’t know if that’s good or bad. Maybe a bit of both. Personally, I am glad that I’m afforded the freedom to figure out what makes me happy, but there’s also days I’d rather be a homemaker as opposed to having a career. There are absolutely times that I don’t feel like I’m programmed to do the things that I do.
The worst part of feminism is that women started to shame other women for continuing to want to stay at home and raise a family, which imo defeats the entire purpose of feminism, as it should be about choice. The nuclear family is highly undervalued currently.
I will say there is a part in the video that I disagree with in regards to sexual perversion because I don’t think female perversion was forced, although it was encouraged during the sexual revolution. For me sexuality began at a very early age without any exposure to it so I cannot say that it is unnatural for women to have feelings of perversion or sexual deviancy. -

x and c are extract and create respectively. v is verbose and you don't really need it even though most people learn to include it for whatever reason. "f" stands for file, the subsequent arg is the file to operate on. That's to say, the archive being created in the c case or the archive being extracted in the x case. I think it's the last that tends to confuse since it means almost opposite things depending on what action you're taking.
Also if you're writing something like "tar -x -v -f foo.tar" you should be writing "tar xvf foo.tar"
tar -xvf foo.tar

2018-07-04 at 5:38 AM UTC in Hey Sophie and other techs
Originally posted by Madman You made a post saying you had alot of resources for different things and I saw some things about python and I was hoping I could get everything you've got about python. I've worked as a tech before but never learned any programming. I've heard that if you know your stuff you can get a job without a degree, is this true? I don't really know what language to start with but I've heard that python programmers are in demand so that seems like a good of a spot to start as any.
You can get a job without a degree. Historically self-learners have been well respected among programmers and generally considered to be completely capable of competing with degree holders. Often because the norm for a number of years was that degree holders had programming experience before entering college and considered themselves self-learners at heart. There's various stereotypes of scrappy kids teaching themselves to code, being "unpolished" but smart, good and bad but I think it worked in your favor in general if you knew what you were doing.
The advent of "bootcamps", non-accredited and highly condensed programs somewhat reminiscent of trades schools, have muddied the waters somewhat. I think one criticism of the bootcamp phenomenon is that it's made the situation for actual self-taught programmers more difficult since non-degree holders are now split between some official training (with no promises as to quality) in the boot camp case and no official training. Instead of being viewed as a kind of parallel path to professional programming, self-teaching is now the bad end of a spectrum of certification (unfairly, if you ask me).
That said I still think you can make it as a self-taught programmer, you just need a bit more hustle than you used to.If I spent 10-20 hours a week learning do you have any idea how long it would take before I would be able to handle anything an employer could throw at me?
You're never going to be able to put a good timetable on learning. Even in colleges where there's a formal scheduled curriculum there are people who could work as professional programmers their freshman year and people who graduate without being able to really put together a program. 20 hours a week is a lot, 10 hours a week is probably still a lot. I don't think most people can stomach that much of practicing something they're garbage at (and everyone's garbage when they start, naturally). You sometimes hear two years of regular practice tossed around, but no one seems to have any particular evidence for that number. It does seem uncommon to find someone who can go from no experience to being a reasonably competent professional in under a year. It was probably two years for me between starting to program seriously and realistically being able to hold down a job, although I was lucky to have a job I didn't really know how to do where I was allowed to learn as I went.
There's lots of resources for learning to program, which you choose really doesn't matter too much. I do like to plug How to Think Like A Computer Scientist. It's a bit of a difficult pitch to people looking to learn since what you think you want to learn is python. But actually you want to learn programming, and this book will do both for you although its title suggests neither.
The reason I suggest it over the many other excellent introductory resources on Python is because it goes through language constructs a sequence that's "natural" in that they reflect complexity and dependence of ideas within the language. That probably doesn't sound very meaningful, but contrast it with the typical approach where an author sits down and says "I want the reader to be able to do X by the end of the book", they think "they need Y and Z to do X, so we have to include chapters on Y and Z before the chapter on X" and repeat the process for Y and Z until they run out of topics. On the other hand TLACS asks "what's the smallest next thing you can learn exhaustively from what you know right now". The downside is that the very first chapter is a somewhat painful discussion of the expression/statement distinction which is something you typically handwave around until it becomes relevant to do the big X the book is building up to. The upside that you as a reader can go off-script and not get bitten in the ass by previously hand-waved material. There's also the fact that the exercises don't treat the reader like a retard who's terrified of math, which is always a plus.
I think the closest analogue is probably The Little Schemer which is an absolute hidden gem of computer science education which has tragically fallen out of fashion half because no one likes scheme anymore for some reason and half because the socratic method sews the seeds of social upheaval.
Originally posted by esbity The best way to learn Python is to Learn Python the hard way.
Putting the fact that Shaw is an asshole, I think there are some real flaws with LPTHW. The biggest being that it's woefully unambitious, it's not a small resource and the capstone project is a textmode adventure game. Shaw handwaves a bunch of stuff and, at least the last time I looked at it a few years ago, it was downright deceptive in how some of the more subtle language constructs operate. You can tell he's far more comfortable as a C programmer than in Python, which is curious seeing as he decided to write his python book before the C one (I have no idea how LCTHW turned out) -
