It works for everyone. Bodybuilders use HIIT as a way to cut fat by getting a lot of work done in a short amount of time (this is also great conditioning work for athletes too).

The difference is a fit person who is adapted to exercise will need to do more of it to see a benefit.
Scott Aaronson's blog post on large numbers is also a very interesting read:

"argue against using his country as an argument"

First, it's not the country that is being used as an argument. So the point is moot.

Second, this is not about "Developed/Underdeveloped Countries". That would be incredibly backwards. It was to show that not everywhere has unrestricted access to international trade, and that cryptocurrencies can help with that.

Just as an example: despite the crisis, Greece is a developed country, yet (because of the crisis) they are also applying very strict capital controls.

So, despite being "able to pay with Visa in his/her country", a Greek could also benefit from something like Bitpay.
Our customers are annoyed by the concept of spending $1-2k/person on licenses but have no problem with $150-200/hour billing rates, half the time of which is spent showing them how to do things for the nth time. People are funny like that. Not the worst deal from a business perspective but frustrating from an idealistic tech progress one.

The key historical context this article omits is that they're a social time diversion. The arcades are a place facilitated by the games. Focusing on the games is like focusing on the highway in a road trip. It's about being with friends.

Phone games surely have the potential to do that, and probably some of them do, but if you look at Bushnell's other works, the restaurants, the Atarti C-380, he was trying to improve social activities via graphics/gaming.

The Nintendo CEO guy has said the same thing with respect to controller design facilitating other people to see how your hands move.

> but also really helps inspire the ecosystem to come up with good ideas

Let's talk about that, since we're on the subject. Most of the ideas presented in Apply HN submissions reminded me of the old "Idea Sunday" threads. To quote dang (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7693640)

> Having all these ideas in one place makes the whole less than the sum of its parts. [...] Ideas are better in the wild. Let's discuss them as they come up organically, rather than try to organize an idea-fest.

The most popular Apply HN submissions I've seen are "LinkedIn that does not suck!" which is not a high bar of innovation. However...that is the bar for the YC Fellowship, which allows for unformed ideas, so I'm unsure whether I should be criticizing such submissions.
THere's not going to be an exhaustive source, of course, but I've found TouchArcade's reviews to be of some value, as well as their forum.

Their weekly roundup of new releases, including trailers for each, is another avenue for being able to quickly peek through what's out there - any that pique my interest, I'll open in a new tab, and see what further screenshots or user sentiments are to be found.

"Neurons, brains, space … these are just symbols we use, they’re not real."

Such bullshit. Yes, they are symbols, but "just" symbols? They don't approximate reality at all? If so, how would he even know?

Edit: Let me elaborate. Yes, it's possible the world is just one big movie set, and nothing is remotely what it seems to be. It's possible everything is just a dream. But this is among the most banal of ideas. We have only made progress as a species by identifying deep, universal consistencies that have proven more reliable than anything else we know. Various scientific revolutions do not change the fact that the game is the same: to account for our observations parsimoniously. Now this guys says, it's all "just" symbols. Such bullshit.
Let's use another example then: would you be comfortable with a headline like "Dead body found at Apple HQ, no politician directly implicated"?

The ScalaZ folks use their own Maybe type instead so as not to have a get() method. Wartremover makes Option#get() a compile failure. Where I work "Option#get" is an automatic failure in codereview. For political reasons I doubt it will ever be removed in the Scala standard library, but there is certainly a substantial contingent that objects to it.
Really interesting read. I had no idea. Hope it gets some up votes so that more knowledgeable people will comment.

> And would such a theory have any practical use?

Yes, sureley. In Computablilty Theory you have the famous Ackermann-function[1]. It is actually an operator-extension, like you just described. It is important, because it grows overexponentially, but is still computable (unlike e.g. the busy-beaver-function).

See FEXPRs in Lisp.

Passing unevaluated code into Lisp functions was widely used in Lisp. Long ago.

It is no longer, since macros are typically simpler to understand and easier to integrate into a compilation model.

In Symbolics Genera, which has weak support for FEXPRs:

(defun print-reverse zl:fexpr (form)
(print (reverse (first form))))

Calling (print-reverse (+ 1 2)) does print (2 1 +)

The library at the university I attended as an undergraduate threw out (3 or 4?) volumes of TAOCP but kept "the magna guide to SQL" or some crap like this.

Their justification was that TAOCP had never been checked out. Which is funny because the year prior when I tried to check out a volume, they told me it was a reference book and could not be checked out.

I'm still completely confused about how that decisions was actually made, and why the books weren't given away or sold.
I recently picked up a first edition of K&R's C Programming Language my university was throwing away. I just couldn't bare to see such a thing given up, even if it's not particularly useful these days.
Sounds like you want IP address literals (or more generally custom literals). If it's safe because everything's static, then, uh, make it static.
No. If possible, do things with macros. And it is always possible to do things with macros.

Why? Because macros are the best way to implement simple, nice, clean, maintainable eDSLs. And any problem is best solved with its most natural language, where the very problem description is already a working solution.

Unfortunately, most people do not understand what macros are, and how they should be used to build multi-stage, simple DSL compilers. They're using macros to implement obscure syntax instead, all that awful LOOP macros, anaphoric ifs, etc., which was exactly what resulted in the bad reputation of the compile-time metaprogramming.
They are waiting for bitcoin to become the number #1 currency. Just like people joke about 'the year of linux'. Guess what, linux is still around. It doesn't need to be #1. There may never be a 'year of linux', but it doesn't mean linux is a failure.

The biggest challenge with mobile game design is not so much the precision of controls, it's the premium on screen real estate.

You have to put all the information of your game on the same layer as the controls- meaning your number one concern will be optimizing your interface and controlling the flow of information. It also means that the games you'll be making should be unique to touchscreen- games ported from other platforms are almost always inferior, in part because their design is optimized for a different platform.
Optional is like a generic NullObject. What should e.g. Map#get return, if not Optional?

I find Apple 'hate' far more understandable because of their market share.

Bitcoin makes up a tiny portion of the market and is completely optional. I mean, it barely even exists.

Apple's activities (notably 'tivoization'), threaten general purpose computing.

Regardless I still try to come to peace with it (i think it's very important to have a positive mindset). As long as I can still buy my ARM SoC boards, x86 machines, etc, I'll be happy. If that starts looking dim, eh. We'll see.

Because right now, the exchanges are run by people that have no business running it in the first place (huge hacks every month and people losing thousands of dollars), the average consumer will have no idea how to keep it secure (my parents would probably lose all of their money), and it seems the inflation rate can still easily be manipulated (the value has crashed multiple times in the last few years).

Until these things are fixed, I don't think I will ever use or invest in Bitcoin.

With Chinese sourcing, it could be possible to drive down the components cost even more (e.g. http://www.aliexpress.com/category/34/automobiles-motorcycle...). Obviously you need to be careful about quality, but bulk buying for a reliable supplier would really help drive down costs. You won't get the fanciest latest-gen stuff, but it would get the job done for simpler components like knobs and switches.
> the outermost pointer can still be null, so you are still vulnerable to a NullPointerException

This is true, but there is a distinction: if your Optional value is null, for any reason, then it's a programming error and should be fixed. If a non-Optional value is null, there's no telling whether it's "allowed" to be null or not. So I never null-check my Optionals in Java -- I'd rather they fail so I can be alerted to them.

It's one "extra" rule. I call it the "Winky Frown Rule" or you could less cheekily refer to it as something of a "Complete Emoji Rule": lines that start with frowns (, [, ` should be winky frowns: ;(, ;[, ;`

95% of the time I ever use a winky frown is Typescript type assertions ;(<any>someObj)...

It doesn't impact destructuring at all because destructuring lines start with let (or const, or maybe var if you are feeling old school that day).

exactly. the thing is though before you get to your 80%+ of your RM work sets you'll be in the gym for 30-45 min (or risk an injury on top of already reasonably high risk of getting injured).
Even with adaptation, would something like 10 minutes of the right exercise still suffice?
Ignoring the clickbait article, HIIT (high intensity interval training) is incredible. I did this routine 3-4 times a week for a couple months: http://www.fitocracy.com/knowledge/dr-layne-nortons-best-dam... and got my resting heartrate down to 48 from the mid 60s. The best part? This was from just 45-60 minutes a week of fairly easy exercise (compared to running) on a bike machine.
still on java you don't have for generators so it will be really messy to have a big nested flatMap block.
I can offer an anecdotal answer: it depends. This is honestly an area where "individuals should speak with their physician before beginning any new intense physical exercise program."

I'm a runner and a basketball player. In basketball, especially at the higher levels, fast twitch muscles and explosive bursts are favored ... which results in quite a bit of weight+sprint training and plyometrics. The common injuries you see are generally torque related: sprains, strains, ligament tears/detachments.

In distance running, it's the opposite: slow twitch muscles and cardiovascular endurance are favored, resulting in some bits of high impact work but mostly just "putting in the miles". In this sport, the common injuries are related to overuse, poor physiodynamics (bad form), and congenital/degenerative problems (mostly joint-related).

The short of it is probably something along these lines: not everyone is cut out to do well at both, so there will probably be a fairly obvious option for part of the population. For the majority who are "average", it probably pays to try both, but I'd insert a caveat that easing into a new training routine is CRITICAL and also that endurance sports carry risks that may not surface immediately but which can have long lasting impacts, so be careful, talk to experts, and pay attention to your body.

Just give it the Digg treatment and be done with it. Too many words have been written on this subject. Yes the financials make it much more difficult but the brand is worth something to somebody. Figure that out and unwind the finances to investors in whatever the most equitable distribution is. The damage of staying as is, devalues the brand by the day.

It's not a totally original concept. Screen-scraping has been around for a while - essentially what this solves. I did mine for Ajax:

this.get(html, selector, function(s){
var es = new DOMParser().parseFromString(html, 'text/html').querySelectorAll(selector);
return [].slice.call(es).map(function(n){ return n.innerText });
};

It's not a product per-se, but combination of data and view is one of the unfortunate aspects of the web that (sorry) won't get fixed - Not everyone will build JSON apis. And, hate away but HTML & JS are here for a long time to come. The need is very real and would be a critical part of a scrape or IFFFT like service - plumbing - if not a product you sell outright to end users.

Indeed. We had a story about her on a local news site. It was a bit disingenuous "The actress who invented the wifi", had to look up the patent to get a less biased picture though.
If you already have a reasonable amount of fitness then it simply becomes sport specific conditioning. The groups that do 1 minute intense exercise will improve their all out efforts and make adaptations mainly in their anaerobic glycotic energy systems while the longer efforts will result in mainly aerobic improvements (increased capillarization, improved lactate threshold, etc).

There's a whole host of literature wrt track and field athletes on this topic.
AppEngine is a somewhat clunky experience because of the walled garden nature it presents. For example, you can't write to a local filesystem in the way that you normally would, no listen sockets, etc.

And, while I don't have as drastic an opinion as others, there are operational issues. The most recent one was mysteriously disappearing outbound emails. These are worse than they should be, because there's no real way to escalate and get someone's attention, even if you're willing to pay for it. The support model is not the same as for the newer Cloud services.
Ask HN: Sell service with fixed price or take the lions share
I'm trying to bootstrap a PaaS (something that helps people sell projects) and I really need your opinion on the best approach to take (from the buyer's perspective) in regards to pricing. I have 2 options in my mind:

1. Put a fixed price - better from the seller's perspective because even if your clients are not making any income you still get your subscriptions but might scare people off, especially those that want to try out the service.

2. Take a percent of each sale generated through my platform - better for small clients since they don't lose any money if there are no sales but might scare off some that generate a lot of sales and start to think that they lose too much this way.

Both have advantages and disadvantages, as clients on other services...what would you prefer?
Erm, it seems as though you are explaining why competition is good. Is there somethings else that I'm missing?

They look me up on Facebook right then and there .. just type in my name, look at my friends, see my connections. I'm connected, in some ways, with quite some movers and shakers in the security space, and I suppose there are alarm-bells in such a scenario. I dunno, it just feels so rude, intrusive, and backwards. I had a great time when I lived in the USA - now I just think of it as a sad, sad place. It lost its soul.
Nah - these are just the same ideas in a different intellectual framework, the level of rigor is only apparent because we're attuned to mathematical models as the best means of reasoning. It's just about what you accept as valid proof (math rather than sociology), I don't think they're actually more profound understandings of the underlying concept.

That's kind of like asking how does Office compare to WordPad or how does Debian compare to Firefox.

Although this is an interesting result, beware, n=25 for the whole study, which means there were only eight people per group.

We did a data analysis on several thousand Apple Watch users, looking at whether step count or exercise intensity really drives one key outcome (a lower resting heart rate):

http://blog.cardiogr.am/2016/02/12/do-you-really-need-10000-...

Like this study, our conclusion was that intensity matters most: you need to get your heart rate above 150 to get the best benefit. In our data set, 45 minutes of exercise per week was the "knee" of the curve.

I'd actually love to run a scaled-up version of the NYT study. I think with wearables generating so much data, we really can start to answer questions like: "What is the best workout?" Or perhaps more importantly, "What is the best workout for you?"
Your first two points are simply features, and there is no reason they can't be implemented for GUI editors. In fact they are available for many of them.

The anecdotal suggestion that people who prefer a GUI simply don't know what they are talking about is just pure snobbery. I know both and I still prefer a GUI. You're right that the appeal to the authority of PG on this subject is irrelevant.
