As you and others have mentioned, deadlifts, squats, presses, and bench press are the most effective and time efficient. Don't waste time on bicep curls and other isolation exercises.

Good form is vital though, so get 'Starting Strength' by Mark Rippetoe. There are plenty of exercise books available, but this is the only one I know of which will spend 50 pages explaining the proper form for the squat. There's even a companion video for the book.
As others have said, this is a crowded space...with a lot of opportunity for a clear leader to emerge (IMO).

$10/mo isn't a bad deal, but I really think you need to go way above what you're thinking here to dominate this.

Offer to keep a backup/cache of the site at a known point (this is basically a 1-line wget script). Offer some haproxy-bsed auto-failover auto-maintenance page stuff for when a site does eventually go down or get fubar'd.

From my personal perspective, it's good to know when something goes wrong, but it's fantastic to also be able to have some auto-fail or recovery option available (automatic, or user-initiated from an iPhone app) so that if I can't get online to rectify the situation promptly, I at least know users are being hit with 404's and SQL errors, etc.
A quote from Star Wars Episode 3 by Darth Vader: "NOOOOOOOOOO!"

Seriously, though, "going to be" is something someone says that has no meaning until it is actually done. I am going to be remember for thousands of years to come, after all. Nonetheless, the situation with the Star Wars Kid videos has potentially given him experience in the field, but there is no telling whether the video fiasco had such an impact on him or if he would have chosen that career regardless.
For those of us who have enjoyed running the past or would like to start up, I highly recommend getting Nike+ (http://nikeplus.com). It connects to your ipod, and via a sensor in your shoe gives you feedback about your run. You can join challenges and make friends on their site. Having graphical feedback of your run is pretty cool too. Being able to visualize your progress is very motivating.
I am a heavy coffee drinker; I like the taste and thought I was getting some stimulant effect. But last fall and early winter I tested myself (described a little more here - http://williambswift.blogspot.com/2010/01/drugs-and-their-no...) varying my dosage of caffeine, but keeping it steady at each dosage for a week at a time. And discovered I could find no evidence of any effect at all on me.
Yeah, and DDG's being advertised on their blog for free after making $1000 by being sponsored by them, that's a pretty good deal.
> She laughed and said that no, I did not understand what it was to have secret police following you about and all these other sorts of issues.

She's right, and like her, I have found it next to impossible to explain this to Americans who think the US is turning into a police state.

People making this claim should spend a few hours reading on history and learn about the Gestapo or the Stasi.

What's happening in the US occasionally produces unfortunate episodes, such as the one above, but by and large, the US continues to be one of the most free countries in the world in all respects.
PG's argument is that there are only 10 great programmers, but 20 companies that need a great programmer, so no salary increase will solve this. Having only 10 companies work is a loss to society at large.

His second argument is that if the US won't let in great programmers from around the world, some other place will, and the US will lose its tech lead.

His 3rd argument is that imported programmers have higher than average costs.

I fail to see any of these arguments reasonably answered in this article.
Especially true in Japanese, where the difference between male and female speech is distinct.
Ford pickups can't play football.
Okay, excuse my poor choice of phrasing (not a native english speaker), and let me explain:

The threat we're currently facing from associations like MPAA is a lot bigger than any of us. Today we talk about artistic content, tomorrow it's science and cure for cancer (and that might be already happening - recently a doctor told me how he was trying to re-gain access to the university's private for students only library).
That's the kind of information I was talking about, obviously not personal ones. That's what the internet made a reality and copyright breaks it.

You argue that your work has value and really, I agree with you. But we're using the world's first medium to gain popularity or whatever, and IMO we just have to accept its drawbacks, that our work (if it's good) will be shared. Many programmers for instance, they publish for free, and some may accept donations (others live by them).

I'm not saying that you should publish for free, but many individuals make this choice daily for their own reasons.
I'm only hoping that as internet mentality matures, better and fairer means to compensate for intellectual work will be invented, but for now the way you're advocating copyright you're only helping the ones that already made millions off of it.
If it wasn't for them, your work would probably be a lot more valuable and we would be enjoying better, genuine content.
I think we need more algo courses for the sake of competitive programming...
The F-35 was always over-ambiguous.

You may end up with something that can not fly far, can not fly high, can not carry a big payload, can not dog-fight, has an insane maintenance requirement and may, or may not be invisible. No plane can be invisible by definition. It may or may not be invisible on specific radars. The F-35 was not build to fight Iraq or Iran. I was build to fight China or Russia. This makes it a big bet.

As far as I know "Superiority" is required reading in MIT Engineering programs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superiority_(short_story)
I'm not surprised one can do it but it seems kind of silly, like using a motorcycle to pull a plow, or using a microwave oven to bake a cake. By the time you get it working halfway well, you could have just bought the right piece of equipment in the first place.
So don't do it fixed price but do cap allowable profits to 3-5% or so. That was how Apollo program was run.
> but they are also a huge vector for privacy-invasive ad-profiling

Do they actually do this? Also don't most of the big ones allow you to opt-out of personalized ads.

I like this because it's easier to have strong 2FA with backup codes on a few well protected accounts, than to do it for every tiny site.
It depends, it was always a bit of a red flag in the US, but freelancers did and do so anyway. Based on the 2017? tax changes, employees basically can't period.

Cool! What do you use that for?
It sounds to me like you want right speech.

As for the accusation. Just don't.
Rubbish.

>These have nothing to do with the discussion, which is that it’s disingenuous to call a new grad better than an experienced engineer in that the interview process is obviously biased towards new grads.

From root comment: “Dalia and the other youngsters from Palestine performed better than at least half the experienced engineers I've interviewed in the past.”. There’s nothing disingenuous about the interviewer’s belief.

From Dalia’s article: “repl.it’s interviews were really different. First they gave me an operational transformation homework assignment.”, “For my second interview, about two weeks later, I had to prepare a presentation with ideas to improve the product.”.

You are making stuff up about Leetcode and whatever - the article itself has facts that show your assumptions to be wildly incorrect.
Time zones still matter. Which is a huge deterrent for being productive more so than being in the same office.
I use Miguel Grinberg's "Token Based Authentication" example[1]. It's based on itsdangerous's TimedJSONWebSignatureSerializer class and it works very well in practice.

This is the difference between someone reading that you do weird sexual things with your partner and having pictures to prove it. Blackmailing someone with a still webcam image of them engaging in an act would be a lot more effective than with an SMS text description. This is a big deal.
Am I the only one who rolls my eyes at blog posts like these? Oh boo hoo.
True, and that's a fair point, but it's basically true of all employees anywhere in a capitalist economy. Even much-reviled Wall Street traders who receive million-dollar bonuses do so while bringing in many multiples of that in revenue for their firm.
DNA mutates spontaneously from background radiation and mutagens present in the cytoplasm (oxygen is even one!) and etc. This isn't normally a problem because the rate at which this happens is balanced by protein repair kinetics, however, if you are boiling the blood denaturing these proteins isn't an unreasonable expectation in non-thermophiles... Furthermore, if you're boiling blood, DNA can uncoil and become susceptible to other problems.

The question is what power is required affect this balanced system. Apparently over time mutations occur which cannot be repaired and sometimes after that cancer occurs ordinarily. It is easy to tell when this happens to 100% of organisms you're studying after doing X and waiting less than a year's time, but is considerably harder to answer when you're trying to see if there is a lethal effect over 60 years in 1 in 1,000 or 1 in 10,000 or 1 in 100,000 or 1 in a million. This is an open and challenging problem.

I don't claim microwaves of some power won't cause cancer, but I also won't claim oxygen can't cause less cancer. In the microwave case there isn't enough evidence to expect it in lower power situations, but to some tolerance there is always a possibility.

The problem with a lot of folks is the way in which they perceive risk. Risk management should be taught. SF should worry a lot more about an earthquake than cancer from wifi.
Are there any ways for websites to bypass AdBlock? Anybody know of any JS projects on GitHub or similar that do this?
> JSON.stringify(document.body)

One of two things will happen, depending on your browser.

If your browser is following the WebIDL spec, so all the accessors are on the prototype, this will produce "{}".

If your browser is WebKit-based, this will throw an exception, because body.firstChild.parentNode == body and JSON.stringify throws on object graphs with loops.
I don't mind when I meet someone in normal daily activities that speaks English poorly. My thoughts on the subject mirror your own.

What _IS_ frustrating is dealing with a customer service representative in an overseas call center that speaks English poorly. How many man hours have been lost in forced communication with foreign contractors in an effort to save a few dollars an hour over an American counterpart? Also, those cost savings to a company like Comcast also damage our economy by not employing Americans in need of work. It's a double-whammy of frustration.
I am not sure that an unknown message could be caught at compile time, because we don't know everything in advance. I also don't think that static type checking is the only way to program.

In that toy example I should return an error, because '() is a legit value.
> all the ones that start by demonstrating how to do basic arithmetic in $LANGUAGE and go on to a detailed explanation of $LANGUAGE's object system.

the fact that i knew exactly what you're talking about as soon as i read it is pretty good evidence that you're right.

the best tutorials i've ever seen are ones that start with a moderately complex program and step through it line by line, explaining in plain english why things are being done. this is how both human beings and computers parse programs, so i'm not sure why a tutorial writer would do it any other way!

i think the current trend of embedding documentation within your program as markdown on github is a pretty close approximation of that.
Then you've misunderstood me, or I've miscommunicated. My argument is that the default handling strategy should be to abort. I'm not saying that special case handling is evil. I'm saying that defaulting to manually checking malloc's return value is evil.

Also, your chunked encoding decoder seems to be using a signed strtol() routine to read an unsigned length variable. I could be misreading; I didn't look carefully.
I can't quite understand why this is a UK company, apparently registered in England and Wales, but yet the data center is in the US.
The main reason I'd go for a UK company over a US one is if the support matched my hours, but with a 24 hour SLA response time, it's not particular great. That mixed with an overseas DC makes it a strange choice for UK customers, I can't see it working out favourably for the company
I believe the most important learning device used is the fact that he is sitting patiently with the kids and giving them his full attention, sending the meta-message to them that "this is important stuff and you will be rewarded with an adult's undivided interest if you work with this".

All children (and most adults) crave attention, and the giving and taking of it is perhaps the most powerful tool that a parent and/or teacher has in the arsenal.

I've always thought a lot of parents do it totally wrong...they give the misbehaving kid lots of (albeit negative) attention while the quiet, well-behaved one they ignore.

My parenting style was the exact opposite...I always stroked good behaviours and tried my best to ignore bad ones.
I think this is the best piece of journalism on clickbait enterprises I've seen yet.

It was anything but glorification.
I haven't used the Android app but I can vouch for the Media Center app. We use it nearly every night at home and it works beautifully.
That's still a pretty ridiculous claim. That every plant we grow is in some perfect state where processing can't improve it. Especially when you consider how many are weird artificially bred mutants so any evolutionary argument is instantly invalid.
The current proximity of this story to "The weirdness of 50s bomb shelters" on the front page seems remarkably apt.
That's a good point, naming of settings sections is quite bad in Windows.
And also Python like programs. And probably Node.js like programs. And really anything where you have lots of I/O to do.
> Every once in a while I'll catch myself trying to read web content in the tiny window between the sidebar ads, the floating video, the cookie control panel and the "other content you might like" block... and I'll stop, pull back, and ask myself, "how did computing get this BAD?"

Seems pretty nice to me: I have control over my browser. I can simply elect to use any "Reader Mode" extension (or feature of the browser). Or use an anti-annoyances list on uBlock to avoid all sorts of cosmetic warts.

I can even configure my adblocker to remove entire parts of the layout like sidebars and navbars. It's amazing.

I don't have much choice when I'm using a poorly designed native app. And I'm thankful I am able to rely less and less on native apps. The computing experience is only getting better and better in my eyes.
ok the multipla is clearly leftover parts from 2 other car models stitched together in the midline. top one was a van, bottom part was a convertible
Similar experience. Many scanners seem to be designed around showing 'value' to management vs real value for engineering and security teams. Another example is Blackduck. Its slow, noisy, has tons of FPs (which you cannot globally ignore), etc. It ends up being a tool users fight against instead of work with.

Another caveat -- scanners usually do not account for the current v vulnerable configuration. So while they may flag a vulnerability, its often a potential vulnerability. Its a mixed bag -- at scan time the system may be secure, but a future change may result in a vulnerable system. Unless you're religious about scanning after each build/config change; this could bite you as well. It would be nice to know these minutiae without digging into each CVE report.
After reading, I have no idea what Fluent Design is.

Access to the legal system is a right not a privilege.

Also, this article talks mostly about people representing themselves while defendants.
Pretty good really. I havn't dabbled with complex animation, but I was building a Visio style workflow editor that worked in IE6, IE7, IE8, Chrome, Safari + Firefox. It has drag + drop and what I believe to be critically missing, the arrow() function. Documentation is pretty thin, so I had to write my own: http://taitems.tumblr.com/post/549973287/drawing-arrows-in-r...
Engineers like me care.

I find it disturbing that my computer has, somewhere inside its sleek and modern body, a complete IBM 5150, with its ISA bus, serial ports, real-time clock, keyboard micro-controller (with that horrendous A20 hack so that the 286 it can emulate can switch between user and whatever mode OS/2 1.0 would need to run) and CGA display adapter ready to boot up PC-DOS from something it thinks is an MFM hard disk. The only thing missing is Microsoft's BASIC burned in ROM.

It's offensive. Really.

I have a collection of 80's and 90's computers. No computer in the collection is as inelegant as the IBM PC and its clones. Many of them (original Mac, Apple II - despite the chip count - Ataris) are absolute works of art. Sheer elegance in their simplicity.
I'm using bamboo + 1.9.1 and so far it's been great.
Peace of mind can just as easily be interpreted as "comfort within one's madness."
You could also replace steps 4 and 5 with ImageMagick if doing it on the command line was of importance. You could probably automate the entire process actually..
You'd like it to be the case that all you have to worry about is pressure and force, but that's not always true. A chemistry major in my dorm once made a non-newtonian fluid just with water and the appropriate concentration of corn starch. The viscosity is not a constant in such a fluid, but rather scales with the force applied. If you struck it hard with a pencil, the pencil would bounce off like the fluid was solid--but if you pushed slowly, it would act like a thick liquid. It was like... a liquid chinese finger trap.

Since your hands move faster than your head, I think that means you would swim faster in such a liquid, up to a point, although after a certain point swimming faster gets harder to. It hurts my head to think about it though.
This is a perfectly valid use of the word. In a purely technical sense, orthogonal means "intersecting or lying at right angles". But it can also mean "mutually independent, non-redundant, non-overlapping, or irrelevant" in the context of everyday conversation.

And you're missing the point. Obviously configuration must happen through a UI, but OP is saying that more preferences don't necessitate poor UI design, and I absolutely agree.
bugs can be found usually quickly and easily within the same coding session that introduced a new feature, while the code and your recent change are all fresh in mind, and you are in The Zone

That's probably true for 99% of bugs. But every time you say "no bugs" I'm inclined to interrupt and say "you mean, no known bugs!"

There are probably large codebases without bugs; some or all of: qmail, some implementations of cryptographic algorithms, seL4, and some versions of the Space Shuttle in-flight software. But they're very rare. Maybe at some point every single one of the above codebases will have a bug found in it.
Good to see Dropbox getting the coverage - it really is a killer application for end-users.
FWIW, I just tried some of their demos on the iPad and.. feels pretty normal. I know the iPad isn't the slowest of the slow but it's JavaScript engine is miles behind even the slowest ones on desktop machines.
And it's insanely idiotic. In the mobile world we have this due to a vastly different UX, and traditionally very limited resources. Remember the first iPhone didn't allow more than one app running. Today phones have fast CPUs and plenty of RAM, it's mostly about not draining the battery. None of these constraints apply to the desktop. Even on laptops power consumption is much less of a concern, unless you have some program going berserk spinning on 100% CPU.

So trying to bring this same concept to the desktop is insanely idiotic. Microsoft failed miserably by making Windows 8 a phone OS and then bringing it to the desktop with minimal changes. Windows 10 improved so much by actually focusing on the desktop again. Including such no-brainers as allowing store apps to run windowed. I'm not a Windows user anymore myself, but none of my friends who still have it as their daily driver like or use apps.
People still knew about plenty of questionable stuff, such as his drinking problems, and doing lines of coke off of the butts of prostitutes.
What does this have to do with iPhone 4?
Atlanta in theory: Warm weather, lots of opportunity, Big City living without the high price.

Atlanta in reality: Terrible weather, terrible traffic, terrible public transportation, mostly dull jobs and local commerce, incompetent public officials, not actually a Big City (more accurately, a sprawling collection of strip malls with some tall banks and hotels scattered about), devoid of interesting art, culture, history (Civil Rights movement excepted), architecture
Good one! :)
I was talking about Xen, OpenVZ and the like. I've been recently exposed to the market of VPS hosting and I wonder how much lower can the prices be driven with this type of technology.

I'm not asking you to take my word for anything. My reasoning is laid out and explicit. If I made a flaw, point it out.

But I guess it's much easier to criticize me for being a mathematical physicist rather than a medical doctor. After all, finding flaws in an argument takes work!
2 workplaces plus a good deal of acquaintances, in fact. In my niche (custom technical or scientific software, mostly for the government), I'm 99% confident that ML makes less than 0.1% of currently written code. 80% of my colleagues even never heard of ML.
