I suffered a moderate-to-severe back injury while surfing when I was 19. It wasn't debilitating, but it regularly affected my quality of life and was healing very, very slowly (at the rate it was going, it probably would've taken 6-12 months to fully heal).

I began deadlifting twice a week, and within two weeks my back pain significantly reduced, and within six weeks my back had healed completely. I also felt much less back discomfort or pain from activities that would previous cause discomfort or pain in my lower back (e.g., sleeping on my stomach).

I think everyone (women included) who is physically able to should lift weights regularly. Not only for the primary benefits of getting stronger and looking better, but for all the passive secondary benefits that come with it: improved posture, permanently increased metabolism (6-10 calories per day per pound of muscle), reduced risks of osteoporosis, reduced likelihood of injury, etc.

The important thing is to lift consistently, heavy, and progressively lift heavier. It can be pretty intimidating for someone who hasn't done it before, so I recommend a routine like StrongLifts 5x5 or Phrak's variant of Greyskull LP to start. /r/fitness has lots of good info in its wiki.
Completed my SaaS project yesterday. Looking for the first thoughts
Hey guys,

I've been working on my new SaaS for about 3 months now, yesterday I finished testing it online. Now I'm looking for feedback and the first users.

It's a customer communication tool (chat) with nice features like sending surveys/polls during conversation. It's perfect for gathering feedback, lead generation, support etc so you don't have to waste time centralizing text answers or use separate survey tools which break the conversation flow with external links.

It's not a live-chat widget, instead you get a fully customizable page with a chat panel inside. If you want to get feedback or other details(like address) during conversation, you can easily send the form from the admin zone and your customer will see the form on the left of the chat panel. You can see the submission live and respond accordingly.

Some features it has * your own chatpage.co/your_business or custom domain * get links that enable certain forms before the conversation, to include in emails or other websites * easy-to-use form builder * export submitted data as excel/pdf * view data as charts for analysis * email fallback when you are offline * 8 themes, customize over 50 attributes(from background image to fonts and colors)

At this stage, feedback is critical so I appreciate any thought you have about this. It's free now so you can start using it right away to communicate with your clients.
Listen to what I say to you, you really shouldn't listen to what others say, do you hear me?

> waiting too long for medication probably isn't a great idea either

I think this is critical. I have a 7 year old daughter who was diagnosed about a year ago. For context pre-meds she was getting frustrated at her inability to put together her own LEGO creations. She would work on 5+ at a time. She was frustrated and was just being able to express her own frustration. Post-meds (dexmethylphenidate) she can actually build with LEGO (her greatest love I think).

The key idea however for us is that the meds give her time to learn. Not school learning stuff, but to learn about actions and consequences. About how her executive functioning can be improved and how her brain works.

9 Lessons Learned from Building 60 Data Source Integrations
I do not understand how these cannot be made idiot proof and cop proof. You can buy the simplest dash cams from China that record HD video and sound that take mere minutes to set up for under a hundred bucks. The first step needs to mandate a tamper proof system and disabling of any police car from leaving they yard unless the device passes on all tests. Then it should be required to report periodically to a central location if it is working and if not the officer can be directed to obtain a new car. Any device found damaged or tampered with should be a federal offense and investigated by the FBI.

As in, those given the ultimate responsibility should be held the most strict standard. Don't like it, get out.
That's not how I interpret that. Both the specification of malloc() and realloc() contain this phrase:

> The pointer returned if the allocation succeeds is suitably aligned so that it may be assigned to a pointer to any type of object and then used to access such an object in the space allocated (until the space is explicitly freed or reallocated).

(Emphasis added.) After realloc() succeeds, you can no longer use the original pointer.

The blog title, “Calm Science” says it all.

Whenever I read a title that contains the word “science” (especially in funny combinations like this one), I get very, very suspicious.
Not to take from your point but something can be both broscience and true at the same time. It just means it hasn't been formally studied within controlled experiments, which is unfortunately quite common in the S&C world where the science is often playing catch-up confirming or disproving ideas that practitioners have been using for decades.
Granted the edge cases require it but anaesthesia is dangerous.

Lovely woman and amazing dentist.
the key part is that they basically just play all the permutations possible and next permutations and so on and get a probability to win out of each path and take the best. It is indeed a very artificial way to be intelligent.
The post at the top is a pretty horrible rant but the following discussion is surprisingly civil and to the point.
"You're solving problems. If you do work to solve those problems, fine, but having more "output" doesn't make you go from a 1x to a 30x engineer."

No, you're not only solving problems.
Especially with a complex stack of software, you also try to stay in control. This could mean, a library or a third party software adds a clean, encapsulated and controllable part to your software.

This can also mean, you add a library, it works, first, but then you discover bugs and missing functionality. What then? Raise tickets on the third party software and wait and swear? Write code around the bugs, until they are solved (a 100% loss of developer time). Add required functionality to the library, which makes you depend on the installed VERSION and each update requires more time invested.

It is a decision, how important the job is. Developing key functionality in house, not to re-invent the wheel, but to stay in complete control, can be a time saving option, even if it takes weeks of initial investment that could be saved with a third party solution.

The discussion, who is more productive, becomes then really a side problem.
Fantastic explanation, thank you!

Something to keep in mind is that adrenaline is something used in medication to treat ADHD in some cases. The desire for some to go out and do things like this (ie: Base Jumping) could be sourced to them craving that adrenaline that helps them focus. Maybe they are taking the wrong type of medication or maybe they aren't taking any at all.

Additionally I found this part very frustrating

>>Panksepp points out that while common stimulant medications for ADHD like Ritalin and Adderall may improve attention skills and academic performance in many kids, they do so at the cost of reducing the playfulness urge—at least temporarily. “We know these are anti-play drugs in animals,” he says. “That is clear and unambiguous.”

This is strongly anecdotal but as someone who takes Adderall, I can't say this could be any further from the truth. The only thing that I can come up with that could lead to this thinking is that younger kids who have trouble with their hyperactivity might not be as hyper anymore after taking medication (which was the whole point in the first place for some). All this is doing is encouraging more adrenaline junkies to treat themselves outside of conventional means.

I understand your point but the specifics about the European Union countries have changed a little since 2008, meaning nowadays all EU countries banks savings are really saved in any case up to 100k euros. This way, isn't money (up to 100k euros) considered safe in your view?

Inflation is something you still need to keep your eyes on but was there ever a case (say, in the last 10, 20 years) in the EU were inflation was higher than the median savings account interest rates? I honestly have no idea but I know for sure since 2011 interest rates have always been higher than the inflation rate in the UK, for example. If this were a fact of savings accounts in the EU then inflation is not really something to be affraid of.

Obviously I'm using "save" as "making just a bit of a money while taking zero risk".
Was big into lifting in my twenties, was very healthy.

I get paid 20% of my salary in "food stamps"/"food vouchers" (they're more lightly taxed both for employees and employers so companies try to foist as much as possible upon employees). And they suck, a lot.

They're called "Ticket Alimentación", and they're provided by Edenred. They're electronic these days to prevent the easiest ways to convert them into real money.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edenred

Among the problems:

- most places don't accept it, so you HAVE to go to the places where they accept them. That sucks a lot (nowadays I can't go to the small local places as they don't have the infrastructure to process them, since government heavily monitors their use)

- you can only buy essentials with them, but that does not include stuff like paying rent.

- all taxes and stuff are taken from the "real" money, and you can have a negative "real" income while having too much in food vouchers (which can't be used to pay rent or utilities or transportation).

- you're basically forced to spend them (I make more than what I'd like to spend on food & essentials), you can't save unless you do some kind of hoarding or buy-to-sell scheme. I'm pretty sure some kind of black market would emerge where your proposed "necessity dollars" would be exchanged for "nicety dollars"

I don't have enough leverage to individually negotiate not getting paid in food vouchers, but it's definitely a factor I'm going to consider.

Quit following the political propaganda. The are not being intentionally neglected or damaged by politicians bought out by those who want to privatize them, that is just pure stupid and political tripe designed to feed the ignorant.

The true story is they promises of many city governments far exceeded their means to support all of them so something had to give. From pushing far too many cronies and family members into "administrative jobs - look at many city airports if not schools now where teachers can be a minority" to promises for pensions. Throw in over price government buildings to celebrate some dead politician, ever expanding tax break and services cost breaks to those who support the politician and well, it all is easily found.

Hence the money to maintain the infrastructure went elsewhere. Money promised to pensioners was also shorted as much as they could, yet the bloat was kept, the new offices kept, and so on. So the political talking points memo you were reading from is just as much trash as the promises politicians make
I wouldn't exactly say it's irrelevant. It can be a good way of showing how easy it is to just make up quotes in a very obvious way, but I would be lying if I said it wasn't a bit overused on some sites.
That police have the emotional and intellectual maturity of children wouldn't be so bad if they didn't also wantonly kill innocent people largely without consequence.

What does your comment have to do with Flint? In Flint, the state and local government screwed up and you apparently want to talk about free markets? This was a government failure.
That's not quite true. Theoretically there would still be a demand curve, that is some people want more or less of the big index at any particular time. That means that you could make a market bridging the demand gap.

But, it probably would be very risky and thus very expensive. I'd guess the "big index" world would be very illiquid.

"That has resulted in an awkward arrangement, akin to sending a warship into battle with its skipper stuck onshore."

This seems a bit overstated. Its more akin to the head of NASA not having a space suit, or the head of the Olympics Committee taking 40 seconds to run the 100m. He is basically a pen-pusher at this stage, chasing funding, greasing up to politicians, attending banquets. I think it is good he cannot see secrets, he doesn't need to, he has staff for that.

They apparently analyzed population density near their outliers, but they don't discuss it. My general sense is that polluting industry will be located in areas with very low population density (these areas tend to be poorer than high density areas). To be clear, that's just speculation.

They also don't discuss the actual expected impact of the toxic outliers. The data they used to determine the outliers is government data about environmental release of toxic chemicals; there is at least the possibility that the releases are within sensible regulatory limits and don't pose a great deal of risk to the people nearby.

Note all the people commenting in this story that pollution of the Flint river is not a significant contributor to the problem in Flint, it's the pipes and the failure to adjust the PH of the water (here's the VTech professor that did a lot of the advocacy blaming the lack of corrosion control: http://flintwaterstudy.org/2015/09/commentary-mdeq-mistakes-... ).

While things like flush toilets and electricity might be technically more important, I think Krugman is really underestimating how amazing the modern world is. I'm in my 40s and I certainly remember how hard it was to learn something prior to the mid-1990s. You had to go to a library or bookshop and hope they'd have a book that would have the info you needed. If it was obscure, probably not. Now we can have the info on basically anything that's known in seconds.
According to "Debt, the first 5,000 years", that's pretty close to how things worked in prehistoric societies.

Necessities were more or less shared communistically, while "money" was mainly used to elevate status within a social group.

There was little to no trade surrounding necessities.

Your suggestion might or might not be impractical, but I think the general thrust is correct.

Hi! I'm a big fan of Symfony 1, and of course LExpress fork, which I'm forked again.

Normally I use this version for new projects. We have some plugins and a lot of experience with the framework. Then, I think that is okay to use it today. The community is very small, but the framework is in maturity and there is no too much work to do with it. It just works well!

On big project, it becomes impossible to optimize the DOM interaction yourself, so you start to do very inefficient operations for sanity's sake. React on the other hand abstract that for you.

I had a project with Angular where one page was really slow. I re-implemented it with backbone / jquery, it was a bit faster but really hard to read and maintain. With React, the code was simpler AND faster, which I was really surprised about.

Don't worry, it'll take at least 15k years to blast a hole that big, unless the AI is really smart.

And life seems to be quite resilient and eerily altruistic at times.

We still haven't wiped this planet clear despite having enough nukes to do so. Some people put their military careers and the security of their countries at risk refusing to launch nukes despite snafus higher in the command chain.

And then you have all those westerners whose day jobs became so meaningless, detached from their environment and sometimes outright hostile to other humans that even if they don't commit suicide, they willingly stop breeding and openly talk about replacing themselves with more down-to-earth folks who have their priorities right: food, children, food for children, and maybe then some little AI R&D, although who cares about that if you can have more children.

Maybe the selfish gene is doing quite well.
It looks bad to lower ranks, who'd have their security clearances and (most importantly) jobs taken away for much smaller (but at the same time, bigger) infractions. Its like the former sheriff of San Francisco County staying on his job after a domestic violence conviction.

Depending on region and target audience, Macs show up between 1.5% and 3.5% of total player base in tracking (see Steam and Unity hardware surveys, and I also see those numbers in our own games), and these have been the same for 10 years. For comparison, Linux is between 0.5% and 1.0%. Most Macs are laptops with Intel GPU which are simply too weak for most current games. The Mac OpenGL drivers have a legendary reputation for being crap since they are controlled by Apple, not the GPU makers (although, native Intel GL drivers are not much better). Sometimes the reason is simply that the additional required customers support for Mac costs money and thus the development effort can't be justified.

I'm a daily Mac user and like it pretty much, but for games I also have a proper PC, attached to the TV. Most games I play there would run at most with 5fps on my MacBookPro.
