“I want you to notice
When I’m not around
You’re so fucking special
I wish I was special
But I’m a creep
I’m a weirdo”

O Globo subestima a inteligência de seus leitores ao tentar embasar estatisticamente suas opiniões. Na reportagem abaixo, muitos dos indicadores destacados em vermelho (o que significa que pioraram em oito anos de governo Lula) deveriam estar no bloco azul.
Repare nos seguintes dados em vermelho: a recomposição do estado através da contratação de servidores (que eles chamam de evolução de pessoal e encargos sociais), o controle da inflação, a flexibilização do superávit para combater a crise mundial e a diminuição percentual da dívida com relação ao PIB (que foi colocado em valores totais para parecer crescente). Isso é bom ou ruim?
Há problemas reais, como o aumento da carga tributária e diminuição do saldo da balança comercial (principalmente por causa da valorização do câmbio), mas manipular os outros dados para engrossar os indicadores vermelhos é jogar no lixo o compromisso que a imprensa tem com a verdade.
Qualquer pessoa mais ou menos informada sabe que o aumento de gastos no segundo mandato de Lula se deve aos investimentos públicos do PAC, iniciado em 2007. E o PAC é um dos grandes alavancadores do crescimento econômico dos últimos anos, pelo menos esse colocado pelo jornal no bloco azul (indicadores que melhoraram).
No sábado, O Globo já havia destacado em sua versão online uma foto do ex-presidente Lula com o ditador egípcio Hosni Mubarak, justamente no dia de sua queda. Em dezembro do ano passado, o jornal produziu um especial que pretendia ser uma retrospectiva dos oito anos de Lula no poder. No entanto, fica pra história como um documento que reflete a opinião dos 4% que consideravam o governo ruim ou péssimo no fim de seu mandato.
Lula foi muito crítico à imprensa e agora, fora dos holofotes, parece estar levando o troco. No entanto, é muito cansativo se deparar diariamente com um jornalismo de péssima qualidade, que manipula dados e omite informações para embasar suas teorias. Há falhas no governo Lula, não é necessário inventá-las. Os leitores não merecem.

Rocker Stormtrooper and Fender Stratocaster by Justin Sneddon
What’s the problem with rocker stormtroopers? They cant ever hit any notes.
I kinda left out an important part to yeterday’s article that I really wanted to write about, but my habit of going off into tangents sometimes when I write kinda made me forget the important part. So I will be brief today with my wandering explainations.
They way alot of people teach C++ is of…
GitHub has created gitignore which aims to showcase best practices for excluding files from git. You’ll find templates arranged by language including Ruby, Python, and Scala as well as frameworks like Rails and Django.
For global system settings, they’ve also included a section for global

“Good evening, London. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine- the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, thereby those important events of the past usually associated with someone’s death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn’t there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who’s to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you’re looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn’t be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night I sought to end that silence. Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey, to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. So if you’ve seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you then I would suggest you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot. - V
Happy 5th November guys.
