been doing it for a few months now. it's pretty interesting that the first week i get hungry the whole day from not eating breakfast, but now I go on with the day without breakfast or lunch, and only drink water through the day and I don't get hungry or cravings.

Also none of that afternoon food coma from lunch!

Still not sure if IF just makes it easier to eat less or there's really something behind it(enough evidence from both sides, like how good/bad egg is for you) but it's worked for me so far
When I was a kid, elementary school was moved from 8am to 9am. This was in a relatively progressive school. The principal made a decision, put his foot down, the parents cried in outrage, but it happened and a year later everyone thought it was normal.

In high school we normally started at 8:30am. Because my school didn't have enough room for everyone, we started at 2pm twice a week.

The 2pm days were my favourite.

I assume it made its way into the wrong hands (not by the OP) and the amount of damage appears to be zero.
I'm one of the developers of that paid plugin. We developed it primarily for my day job (as a web host, SSL is one of the worst support burdens for us), but it's been really successful for other hosts as well.

The situation certainly sucks for shared hosting customers who do not have access to LE. However, cPanel have stated that they will be delivering the functionality as an out-of-release plugin between 11.56 and 11.58.

If you don't want to pay, I suggest taking a look at one of the dependency-free, root-less tools, such as acmetool[1]. You should be able to plug this into your crontab without any issues. Depends how limited your SSH is, though.

1. https://github.com/hlandau/acme . Great tool. Unfortunately the official Let's Encrypt client tooling is really quite poor. Python was not a good choice (way too many dependencies get pulled, esp. for such a simple ops tool, messed up situation with 2.6/2.7/3.x availability across Linux distros).
OK, so my most memorable moment was The On Call Day From Hell.

I've told this story a few times a few different ways, but for this purpose, you could call what we did theatre. Every 5, or 10, or 15 minutes, all weekend, some weekdays and evenings, the show must go on. ~6 Locations spread through the city, two separate experiences, both with their own windows, problems, and margins for error.

Sunday morning comes around and I get an alert about one of the locations. The system didn't come online (startup was automated for one experience, and manual, but staffed for another). The automated experience wasn't booting up. I had a three hour window to make the trek from Oakland to SF and debug this, probably minor issue.

I had VPNs everywhere, if I needed to show up, it was usually a hardware or networking issue. I was grumbling as I left my girlfriend on Sunday morning. I felt like it wasn't my turn (there were two other engineers, one other who would sort of rotate these duties at the time). So I'm trudging along and I get a text from the staff member running the other thing. She tells me that "there's water under the tunnel". This is very bad. This particular thing was built into a basement, which was at one time a creek. Even in the drought we were pumping ...water (and mission st run off)... out fairly constantly.

So I parlay the problem downtown by forcing an unexpected reboot of all equipment and make sure it sets itself up properly. I move to the mission and I'm woefully underprepared. The set itself has begun getting wet, I go to the source and it's just a black hole. Our construction crew set it all up initially, and would normally be the go-to for this, but we were a very small crew. Construction wasn't responding, and the first appointment was in 45 minutes. This was my problem. So I psych myself up. I was going to something else and definitely not planning on getting shoulder deep in sludge. I undress as much as I can around other employees, the two of us cover the set with as much protective barrier as we can and I just stare at it.

I'm about to get into the sort of territory where I'm cautious about telling it to the HN audience, but I shit you not, a voice from inside the hole, and from a very good friend whispers to me "psssh. Hey, you, It's down here. Come on down".[1]

And I get shoulder deep in a sump pump field disassembly and repair. No appointments were missed, edited or canceled that day.

[1] There's a very practical and boring explanation for this, but it was a very laugh-out-loud at my own weird life sort of moment.
Sure, but if all of the state is on the NAND flash, you can nearly trivially bypass all the retry restrictions with a hardware-level snapshot. There's nothing on the SOC that's persistent. Boom, done, and the FBI is exposed as a pack of idjits. (Of course, this is not about the single phone, and never has been. But let's continue that fiction for the sake of argument).
MIT Sloan has a great article about converting visitors into subscribers that I think is arguably relevant here: http://sloanreview.mit.edu/article/turning-content-viewers-i...

I think that if you're trying to build a product that you want to charge for, then it's worth signaling that aggressively from the beginning (building what they call the "ladder" in that article). That said, Latitude did send some signals (e.g. the Marketplace section on the website, etc). But of course, it was challenging to balance that with the whole invitation-only "you are special" mythos.

I think that it would also have been possible to announce the monetization plan differently, with more tiers of engagement, and more explicit levels of "earning" a free membership. There was only one paid membership option, which was hundreds of dollars.

The company could also have pursued a totally different plan -- like finding a fiscal sponsor and applying for grants. Nonprofits have a higher survival rate than startups, and their art was so unique and beautiful, I think it could have had potential for major grant support. This would have required a major shift in approach though (and probably staffing, too).
"But do you really learn anything by asking the candidate if they can recite the time complexity of a moving window average algorithm"

No, but it may be a good question, anyways. A good interviewer probes you about things you might encounter in the job to find the point where you cannot recite things, and looks how you handle that.

Having said that, I don't understand the focus on coding interviews I read on HN. I don't know whether it is cultural difference between the USA and Europe, whether I just haven't noticed how you are supposed to prepare for interviews, or whether I am too smart to need to bother, but when I apply for a job, I look up what the company does, try to figure out what its culture is, but do not prepare for the technical side of things. An interview isn't a one-sided affair of you being quizzed, it is two parties figuring out whether they fit together,
It is of course not the best, it is the last recourse when everything else fails.
From the sound of various blogs, articles, etc., it sounding like the FBI doesn't have anyone who has technical expertise in this area (or if they do, those persons are being kept buried). While the court case is important to the FBI (and very wrong to the public), the technical details of breaking into an iPhone should not have been an issue for them.

I'm starting to think no one is driving the clown car in their technical division.
Eclipse Che – Next-Generation Eclipse IDE, Cloud IDE, and Workspace Server
This is a good start http://linrunner.de/en/tlp/docs/tlp-faq.html Depending on your HW/distro/DE, you might want to start playing around with powertop --calibrate and TLP. Highly suggest switching to a lightweight DE like i3.
It seems pretty straightforward to me. Variations exist in a population, hgt shuffles them around, and selection does the rest.
They say that just to keep the bastards out.
I don't know why you felt to bash the product. That seems irrelevant here.

When I first saw the headline my first thought was that maybe it was a new version of Panic Prompt, so clearly there is scope for confusion here.
Salt Lake City. Tons of jobs with expanding companies, both big old ones and hungry new ones. Beautiful scenery, low cost of living, pleasant people.

I just moved here 4 months ago and it's great. If you like hiking, national parks, outdoorsy stuff, Utah is almost unmatched for beauty and nice climate.
This is based on Apache Solr, which is awesome!
Boulder city home prices are ridiculous however the surrounding area (Louisville, Broomfield, etc) is more reasonable especially when compared to the Bay Area. However home prices along US-36 (main corridor between Boulder and Denver) are starting to increase rapidly.

In my experience, software engineering pay is plenty if you factor in the cheaper cost of living compared to Bay Area.
Well, if we all start feeling the Bern, they won't have to worry: silicon valley will be gone.
"Cargo Cult" implies a LACK of experimental evidence.

You can carve a block of wood to look like a radio and mutter into it all day, but generally speaking it's not going to summon a cargo-airplane to your airfield of chopped reeds.
9.0 is the biggest ownCloud release so far
The above, only if you want to discard (filter) orders with an even number of things.

Also I'm not sure about the use of floating point here...
Lula and the BRICS in a fight to the death
That is technically true, but (1) this labor isn't hugely impactful or population enabling and (2) in this case it is being used as an amplifier for other domestication efforts, and without already having other domesticatable animals around you are only getting sled pulling (limited to the Arctic), hunting (helpful, but nothing compared to agriculture), and "plow-pulling" (which seems of dubious value).
It may not be relevant legally. But it undermines the (already very flawed) PR argument that Apple is enabling terrorists by not unlocking this specific phone.

Forcing the FBI to admit that their real objective is the general power to hit people with pipe wrenches seems like an important step.
It sounds like you're describing Flipping the Classroom: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flipped_classroom
I'm not holding up the co-ops as some sort of paragon, but I think they're clearly a stepping stone in the right direction. At the very least, the cooperative business model has allowed them to (more or less) self-govern and adapt to a rapidly changing populace over the course of many decades. In my experience, they also have a much more diverse population on campus than the dorms or greek houses. While it's true that the largely student constituency is what's currently funding the co-ops, the BSC has always been a separate institution from the university; were Cal to suddenly shut down, I have no doubt the BSC would still find plenty of people to fill their seats, if for no other reason than the alluring economic prospect. The institution itself, as it's currently structured, does not require an outside source of funding to prop it up: the business is a closed loop, and the incentives are aligned. (Correct me if I'm wrong... I don't know how much the BSC relies on donations, etc. to survive.)

> Speaking as a former UC Berkeley Cloyne co-oper, I've seen a handful of former co-opers try to transition the "magic" of the USCA into normal life. They failed because the reality is that American society doesn't it lend itself well to collectivism and the lack of capital needed build a functioning co-op.

True, but many others have succeeded. I know for a fact that there are a ton of graduate and post-graduate independent cooperatives in Berkeley. They're not exactly common in the US, but you can find them if you look around. (And it's not like the concept is new: the Rochdale Principles are almost 200 years old.) To be fair, it probably takes a dedicated and idealistic group of people to make it work; I'm sure many BSC co-opers never really held a deep-seated belief in cooperative living.
Reading one age appropriate book per week has a huge compounding effect. This is known and studied. That counts as homework and clearly refutes the primary statement: "There is no evidence that any amount of homework improves the academic performance of elementary students."

As in many things, there is a balance somewhere. You need some level of rote homework to drive home basic concepts. Sorry--vocabulary, spelling, and times tables, for example, need spaced repetition and learning them sucks. But they suck whether you are 5 or 50.

However, I find this statement laughable: "Can it be true that the hours of lost playtime, power struggles and tears are all for naught?" If doing homework is a power struggle in elementary school, you're a poor parent and are raising an entitled brat.
And of course a problem with this is any status code now has two representations: the canonical enum variant, and the catch-all variant with the same numeric value.
I'm getting a bit tired of seeing the "pseudoscience" label slapped on an argument every single time evolutionary biology is mentioned. I understand why one might want to do this occasionally, but I feel the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction, and now the label is being abused.

This is basically the new "correlation is not causation" meme equivalent. Yes, correlation indeed does not equate causation in a strict sense. But given a large enough number of samples, it becomes the domain of statistical analysis, and then causation can be solidly inferred with a well determined degree of confidence.

So be careful when repeating trendy memes. Trendy does not equate truthful.

Anyway, to provide some kind of answer: Seeing how studies keep coming in, showing that I.F. is beneficial in a number of different ways, seems to suggest that this regimen is, indeed, better overall for your health than 3 meals a day every day. The jury is probably still out, but perhaps getting close to returning for a decision now.

Also, the 10k year "adaptation" is a weak argument. We've adapted in some ways, yes - lactose tolerance, etc. In other ways the intracellular biochemistry has not changed. 10k years is a short time after all; it allows some adaptations but it's too quick for big changes. Our distant ancestors very likely did not live on a steady caloric input, and the time is too short for us to have adapted completely to a different feeding pattern.

Yes, I agree it's hard to know for sure, that's why I used expressions such as "virtually certain" and "strongly doubt". Both suggest a degree of uncertainty. I was not making it into a science, by any means.

TLDR: Nuance, instead of binary logic.
This whole thing is 1) open source (under ZLIB which is incredibly open), and 2) written against the wxWidgets UI set which compiles on basically every platform (it was the cross-platform choice before QT was LGPL'd -- which I presume had something to do with the decision to use it, as TreeSheets has been around for nearly a decade).

I for one applaud this author on 1: making it free rather than freeium-SaaS - locally I can run my own instance and if the developer decides to abandon it via an Apple Acquire-Hire-Shutdown (FoundationDB where are you now?) my data and workflow aren't lost,
2: exploring a new paradigm (PIM keeps on being re-invented because no one has sufficiently solved the problem-- this was one of the few actually innovative takes on PIM),
and 3: specifically because of how open it is and even if I want to use this on a VAXstation from 1993 I can easily compile it myself.

TreeSheets and Leo[1] are the only two PIM's other than Emacs Orgmode[2] that have genuinely been flexible enough to capture information in a flexible enough way for me to 'brainstorm', while concurrently allowing ease of recall (though the new KDE Suite of QT apps are decent enough)

[1] http://leoeditor.com/
[2] And even org-mode tends to be a bit lacking out of the box, though the healthy elisp ecosystem around it + your own ability to hack it into whatever you want makes it versatile enough any workflow.
Consider Michigan: both Detroit and Grand Rapids are affordable, tech-friendly, and pleasant to be in.
Taking the time to find the right people is absolutely the key, but the unwritten part of the rule, is not to do that at the cost of business. Better to hire engineers who are good enough, than to miss the holiday season.

The process of DS/Algos doesn't necessarily find wrong people. It's just the fastest way to find engineers who are good enough.

In some sense, they almost secretly WANT you to succeed, by "standardizing" the process.
In San Francisco and Rooting for a Tech Comeuppance
Yes. The general task of looking at arbitrary images and labeling objects (from a set of known categories) in those images is called "detection." In fact the problem you described is easier, because there's only one category (people), and the system only needs to provide a count, rather than provide bounding box rectangles around each object (which is what the standard "detection" task entails).

Convolutional neural nets are the state of the art for this, specifically deep residual learning (http://arxiv.org/abs/1512.03385). It requires a good deal of background to understand what's going on and tune/implement the models, though, even if you just use the frameworks already out there. You probably don't even need that much data - you can probably grab pre-trained models and train them on a small additional dataset you collect.

They can definitely handle arbitrary backgrounds, although having a standard background makes the problem even easier, again.

Most deep learning computer vision algos are trained on 256x256 images, so having even larger images is just fine (you can downsample, or maybe even add up the predictions of different crops).
Cell tags is exactly what I did to solve the lack of 'multiple inheritance' issue. Thanks for this product, I've been using it for almost a decade and it's all kinds of brilliant.
Seems like you read the Cannabis vault when you were young.

Now you're reading the Datura vault. (read: one of the most traumatizing drugs to ever grace the surface of the earth)

Therefore, Erowid has been going painfully downhill?

I assure you, there have always been experience reports of people doing crazy, dangerous shit. Anyways, additional reports can only increase the quality and usefulness of the site. The moderation is the same as before. The old reports are still as valid as ever (from a clinical POV) and the new ones add more data points; in the case of mixes, these data points are all the more unique and valuable.
First heard about Erowid in this recent New Yorker article:

http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/11/23/the-trip-planne...

I found this article and the testimonials from the website itself a bit more interesting than the visualizations here.

The New Yorker article describes Erowid's role as a reference source for the medical and research community. I get the impression from the writeup here that this project, associated with the University of Amsterdam, scraped Erowid to collect the data. I hope, as researchers, they'll make the data open for others to explore and extend.
Sure there is a place for repetitive reinforcement based learning, but kids already spend 7 hours a day at school. There's no reason we can't cut out an hour of instruction and replace it with guided homework time.
Eh I don't he really believed in it enough for it to be a cult. It's sorta like that, I guess, but a bit half-hearted or at least three-quarter-hearted for a cult. It sounds like it was a cult for some people (the ones telling that story to their kids every night, for instance).

Cults are fun, there's obviously a lot of demand for them among the atheists / logical workers of SF who have to live with so much boring truth all the time (e.g. the guy who says "I feel like much of my life is so focused on Doing The Thing that I don't take that kind of time very often. The feeling of warmth and excitement and sparkling eyes was really strong, and it formed a lot of my sense of what this group was and why it was meaningful.").
Ha, simple string interpolation "is an obscure corner case", right Mr. Negativity.
The majority of the 18, including its #1 (which is #2 on the overall list), Fortune 500s in DFW are Energy/Oil (Exxon #1). There's definitely TI and a bunch of Airlines and Healthcare (which I totally forgot about). I'm not putting down Dallas, I just hope it doesn't get really hurt by whats going on in with energy/oil.

Houston is in a pretty scary position right now. When I drive through it, it's absolutely insane how much development they've had over the last 5 years that are Oil/Energy companies that you can see right off the highway.

Maybe you don't consider F500 the market, not sure that I do, but those companies do employ a huge number of people. Austin only has HQs for 2, Dell (44) and Whole Foods (264) but Austin is a very different market. People absolutely loathe large chains here.

Thanks, very useful answer.

Yes, I had JS, and I had Java and C++ (and Fortran77! I was good. And Assembly), and some Python and a little Ruby. Most of them are quite rusty at this point.

Would you suggest to go straight to ES6 then?

Also, what could be the best choice to then being able to write chrome extensions and perhaps chrome apps?
As far as the experience goes, one of the things I'd say over and over is that if you noticed my work, I did a bad job. I was building the automation, electronics, mechanics, and hardware and software systems to make things tick. I was typically working with about two other hacker-types. sometimes hardware and audio folks, sometimes web and software folks.

So there was this beach on the top floor of a building downtown. When you were invited in, a whole day would pass in the scope of twenty minutes. More than anything, it was a place to think. And through some very clever crafting with about a dozen RGB floodlights (and previous work deconstructing how to work the Philips Hue API) we made it simultaneously look like an office/gallery, that would pass from dawn through early morning, noon, afternoon, sunset, evening and the sort of blue-midnight you only see on television.

I didn't really "do" the experiences, I always knew what was behind the door when I opened it, and often times I was "doing" it for QA purposes, but that part of that room will probably stick on me like a soft spot for a very long time.
H1B? You're in!

Maybe he should have gone for the religious angle and tried to get non-profit status.
