I have been going to the gym, mainly doing weightlifting, for 4 years now.

Whenever I don't go it's due to a lack of free time and energy. This is because I commute two hours a day to and from work, and I have a very active social life. I hit the gym on an average of 3 times a week, though my goal is 5 times a week. I wish my office had a gym.

Your life improves drastically if you exercise. If you really realize how much it benefits you, you will find yourself impatiently waiting until the next time you go to the gym. Not because you want to go to the gym, but because you want the reward that comes out of it.
Funny you mention this.

When I was at university, a lab-mate of mine was working on automatic article summarizing. Essentially, you could point his thing at a long article, and it would try to pick out the important bits and generate questions based on the content. I pointed out that one nefarious use of his work would be to post relevant looking questions on blog posts, but have them still link back to spam. It would become increasingly difficult to identify legitimate questions from the spam ones.

But yeah... when does this all stop? Maybe when people realize that 99% of advertising is a complete and total waste of money.
Get yourself some compression shorts, I don't work out without them.
My brother-in-law (was a Navy Chief) mentioned once that one in six Navy takeoffs had a mechanical failure of some kind. He always took a boat to shore when on carrier duty. So maintenance surely varies across the services.
Why can the little girl only do magic on the weekends - is that some nod to the contemporary assumption that everyone works 5 / 7 days, with the other two nominally for personal (fun / satisfying) time?
as a owner of a XPS 13 with the latest 6560u skylake and iris 540 .. and an edition that is NOT a developer edition... I couldnt be happier.

Ubuntu has been terrible. I switched to Fedora 24 on the XPS 13 and it has been brilliant. No other laptop (not even macbooks) come with that weight/power ratio.

Everything works - including skype, etc. suspend resume has worked absolutely perfectly.

I really, really recommend using Fedora. Ubuntu has not been delivering the experience that the hype expects.
It sounds to me like you're comfortable and don't think risking the steady pay and fun environment for something you're not sure will work out.

This is the worst thing you can do for yourself!

Your potential is always more than where you currently are in life. You should always be looking for the next opportunity to advance your career and increase your worth. This is why a lot of people stay at a job for 2 year and then move on - they learn a lot, contribute a lot, then go sell themselves for a lot more money and repeat.

You could jump ship right now for double the pay. Your friends at the company won't blame you for it, and it's healthy for founders of a company to see that happen.

Good luck!
That looks like what I need right there. Thank you.

You're obviously qualified so I'd love to get more info on how you deployed MySQL replication. I have a low opinion of it after using it at my employer for the last few years. MySQL allows writes to slaves (yikes) and the binlog coordinates are a constant hassle. ROW, STATEMENT, and MIXED binlog formats can make interoperability a mess and further increase the risk that there will be discrepancies between slave and master data (for some reason, we're on STATEMENT and/or MIXED replication, which means that the slave receives a list of the queries to execute and may have different output than the master). To sync up a new slave, you have to set up slave_skip_errors to ignore primary key conflicts and other common errors that occur because it's impossible to really get a firm binlog coord (it's really only marginally possible due to Percona's efforts with innobackupex/mydumper). I know that GTIDs are available now and are supposed to resolve the issues with binlog coords, but we haven't activated/used this featureset yet. Is it really a magic bullet?

MySQL just seems to do replication in a very unstable way that no other major RDBMS is willing to approach. I use PostgreSQL replication on a personal project and while it takes a smidgen longer to set up (maybe 20 minutes instead of 5), it seems well worth it to me. I never have to worry about whether my slave's output matches the master (because the query is performed on the master and the result shipped out via the WAL and that's the only way to use replication). I don't have to worry that I connected to the wrong endpoint and accidentally wrote to the slave, causing a conflict that requires a new full dump and resync. I don't have to worry that binlog coords are going to be wrong or that a write will go in at just the wrong moment and potentially require me to redump and resync the whole thing again (but at least require me to skip errors).

How do you handle these issues with MySQL replication, and justify the risks in order to shave a few minutes off the upfront setup time?
I work from home and hate leaving the house. So i hired a personal trainer to come to my house a couple of times a week.

I prepaid for the sessions, so he's coming whether I want to or not.

more expensive than a gym, sure... but i actually do the exercise this way.

I agree the backend can't be truly generic, there will always need to be config. But the config which provides the customizations could be made arbitrarily more simple.

The backend can't truly go away because it's always going to be managed by somebody, AWS, App Engine, Azure, etc. From the developers point of view though, running systems on these platforms could be made easier to implement and run to the point of being effortless.

I didn't mean to suggest tossing out server side validation. Though now that you mention it, if you wanted to, you could just toss every request into Hadoop, it's not polluting your data because the metadata associated with it indicates each is a request, and nothing more. When it gets to be too much, you could flush it, or do whatever you want with it.
I start each spring bicycling, trying to get in 500 miles before the end of July. Then I ride 400-500 miles in one week (my big exercise effort for the year). Then I don't look at the bike again until next Spring. So motivation is a big deal for me, and creating it can be as simple as putting a large flag on the calendar that will kill you if you're not ready for it.
This sounds to me like a situation you need to really figure out for yourself. You've probably been promised millions of dollars in exchange for this deal - but you need to ask yourself: is that really going to happen?

These large companies aren't always what they seem to be. Sometimes these deals are great for the business, sometimes they burry it. You'll need to be able to read between the lines to figure out if you're giving everything you worked for up or not.
I made your statement a little more accurate.

"Incredibly healthy" is a stretch when it comes to power-lifting. In fact, while power-lifting helps to rapidly gain and develop muscle, it's extremely unhealthy to your joints and poses a high risk of injury. For those looking to get similar exercise and results to powerlifting, check out body-building. Emphasis on slow and controlled form and muscle gain (aesthetics).

I've had persistent knee pain for almost 3 years now, that limits my biking, running, hiking, and everything else that used to make life worth living. I saw a knee specialist, had x-rays, an MRI, 6 weeks of PT, and continued their recommended stretches and exercises regularly for another couple months afterwards. None of it helped in the slightest, and it was all really expensive. I don't know what to do. It's really depressing. I'm not even 30 yet. I guess I just get fat until I die now.
I don't think that is evident at all. Clear writing will resonate with the reader far more than hackneyed, pretentious constructions.

Many of the best communicators in history successfully employed "simpler" verbal constructions than those Orwell rails against.
For those who complain about not enjoying exercising, pick something that doesn't appear to be exercise at face value. While I do exercise 5-6 days a week, I find that hiking 5-6 miles gets the job done, without even realizing it. Just find somewhere with decent elevation changes, and your cardio will skyrocket, while actually doing something enjoyable.

It is a matter of how that job offer is set up. If the terms are "pick one of these 100 government jobs or we cut your benefits" then clearly the people you will get for that job will be different than your standard public school teacher, who is supposed to have studied for that job (at least that is how it is in Germany). IF on the other hand you establish child care as a proper job that people can take or leave, just like being a public school teacher, then that would be adequate. But I would want some government regulated certification for that job, because what being a "responsible adult" means is too vague and too subjective for child care.

So, if child care is just another job (as it is now), what would your proposal mean? Basically, that the government pays for an army of child carers, and that that army would be funded by tax. Just like the public school system.
Powerlifting is amazing, and it is amazingly safe [1]. It is the perfect complement to a programming job, because you can bang out a massive workout in the morning and recover physically the rest of the day. Take "advantage" of your sedentary opportunity!

However, my one piece of advice from personal experience: Avoid doing switch-grip deadlifts (recipe for distal biceps tendon rupture [2]). Use hook grip instead. If you can't hold heavy weight, then modest training with Captains of Crush equipment will have immense benefit. Even just being able to rep a #2 gripper will be enough to take you beyond a 500lb deadlift.

> Netscape seems to have opened the flood gates with their "commoditize the browser, and make money selling servers" approach.

Netscape originally charged for their browser. They only switched to this business model after Microsoft began giving away IE for free. Netscape couldn't compete with a free browser, especially not when that browser is included with the most popular desktop OS in the world, so they came up with the idea of using the browser as a loss leader for their server product.

Before IE, the only free browsers were the terrible TCP/Connect II-based browsers that various ISPs, such as AOL and Interramp, bundled with their service. Netscape was able to position Navigator as a premium offering, as the TCP/Connect II browser was horrendously slow and feature-bare. Navigator, meanwhile, was adding proprietary extensions to HTML such as tables, frames, the font tag, and blinking text (yes, <blink> was considered a selling point back then), it was fast for its time, and it had a toolbar with some useful features (like a button that took you to a search engine; I think Infoseek was the default). But IE had their own proprietary extensions, and it was about as good as Navigator, so Navigator was no longer the sole premium product.
Right now that's how I'm feeling in NYC.
Interestingly, I just started an exercise routine (body weight fitness) and I'm hoping I can stick with it. I've made a few modifications that hopefully will improve my chances of long-term success

1.) I exercise in the morning. Even on my rest days, I still get up and do something semi-physical (walk, etc) in that time. I'm trying to associate that time of day with "exercise" or at least physical activity.

2.) I've found stuff that actually interest me. Weights never interested me that much - my reward for being able to lift X pounds is moving on to lift X+Y pounds. To me, that is boring (but if you're into that, go for it. We are all different). But with bodyweight fitness, my reward is moving to the next step and being able to do something with my body that I couldn't before (new kind of pushup, new kind of pullup, etc)

I guess my takeaway is that it completely psychological. Fitness is a big world and there is likely something, somewhere that will interest you, whether it's a sport or martial arts or whatever.

Last point: For programmer and scientist types, we can waste too much time trying to find the "optimal" workout, figuring out reps, weight, etc. Do not let the perfect be the enemy of the good here. Pick something interesting and get to work.

Edit: Also, if you start with one activity and get bored with it, find another! You aren't committing to a lifetime of doing a single things. It's ok to change your mind.
> The root of all this confusion is the small port number space (16 bits).

IMO the leak is the real bug and the protocols work as intended. Keep in mind that the stack(s) distinguish TCP connections not by merely one 16-bit port number but by (local port, local addr, remote addr, remote port). This quadruple is effectively 96 bits of identification.

Enlarging the port space has an astonishingly high cost. IMO, it would be easier to just define a new transport protocol or use a network protocol with more addresses (IPv6, e.g.).

Fluentd is decent (though I rather wished Heka had taken off; it's much more flexible and in theory leaner and faster since it's Go), but I'm still looking for a good solution to aggregate, inspect and search logs.

In particular, the ability to live-stream ("tail") logs seems to be a feature generally missing from logging aggregators. There was one (Loggly?) which provided a CLI tool for tailing, but it wasn't very impressive. (All the SaaS apps I have looked at do quite poorly when it comes to rendering live logs in a browser, too.)

Any recommendations?
RH yes. Fedora i don't trust so much.

>I'd wager there were other complexities purely from the govt side.

That is true for oh so many government IT projects. The part that I still struggle to comprehend is "Why on earth aren't the IT companies, like IBM, telling governments that what they're asking isn't actually possible?"

The Danish government have an insane amount of failed IT projects. Most of them fails do to the complexity of laws, rules and requirements. We even know that they'll fail before they even start. Most good developers are able to predict this with great accuracy. So why aren't IBM and other telling governments that what they're asking isn't possible?

My best guess: Because their lawyers will ensure that they're paid anyway, and because they have absolutely no pride in their work.

You can't hurt the reputation of IBM, or at least it won't matter, because their competitors have equally poor reputation, and no one else is going to bid on the jobs they take on.
Doesn't this reasoning hold up for outsourced jobs as well?
Having to learn libraries has definitely been the roadblock for me. I understand the "basics" that most of the tutorials and things I've used so far tend to cover (loops, data structures, etc.) but that always seems to be as far as I get before it feels overwhelming to try to learn libraries.

So many tutorials and learning materials/examples use libraries, but they often never really cover how to learn these thoroughly or provide any methodology for doing so. It's always just thrown in so they can show you a code example.

Maybe reading library documentation is the only way, but I feel like from a learning perspective if someone could crack the library-learning process and make it easier or more welcoming that it wouldn't feel like such a brick wall.

I'm not sure if the problem is the learning materials or me, to be honest. I really should just dig into a standard (or other) library and try to learn it back-to-front I suppose and see if that tough process (that I always seem to quit...) pays off.
Just get the XPS 13 - if you get one with the Iris 540 chipset, then you can play bioshock or DOTA. Yes - integrated graphics has gotten that good.

Moreover, the XPS 13 is the first laptop that can charge using a battery pack (Dell Companion ) and runs brilliantly on Fedora 24.

Ubuntu has consistently performed badly on the xps 13. There is no thinkpad that comes at the price vs performance vs size ratio as the thinkpad. Obviously, there is no comparison for the thinkpad keyboard :(

Guessing that topics for blog ideas that are relevant for majority of start-ups but not too generic are hard to come up with. Are you thinking about some type of segmentation or tailored recommendations depending on the subscribers?
I believe a lot of people are confusing "serverless" (e.g. heroku e.g. http://justserverless.com/blog/what-is-serverless-com/) with "FaaS" (e.g. AWS Lambda). However I feel like the latter definitely is more appropriate given the rise of FaaS.
> Say what you will about a lot of the garbage in player, the authoring tools were some of the best available...

I emphatically agree. Back in 2004-2006 I was doing Macromedia Flash MX 2004 development (with the new-and-shiny ActionScript 2.0! Based on the forthcoming ECMAScript 4 standard that should be finalized any day now...). It was hands-down one of the best development environments I've used w.r.t. creating games and "rich Web applications". It really was the best thing available at the time: you could draw and animate your sprites, tiles, backgrounds, whatever within the same IDE in which you wrote your code. You could attach scripts to any object on- or off-stage, and they ran in an event loop. The documentation it shipped with was also excellent, and I picked up a hardcopy of the "ActionScript 2.0 Bible", a massive tome of beginner's tutorials, intermediate tips and tricks, and complete language and library reference -- for a measly $20.

Nowadays, Unity gives a similar yet more featureful environment for writing games, and Silverlight briefly presented an alternative for "rich content". As far as rich content goes: sure, we can do that stuff with HTML5 and JavaScript nowadays, but it was just so much more pleasurable to work with the Flash IDE than anything else I've seen, excepting maybe Silverlight. Where making a Web 2.0 application feels like an enormous pain in the ass, making the same in Flash was a joy. It was fun rather than frustrating!

I think if Adobe (or even Macromedia) had opened up the Flash format (SWF), and maybe even the plugins, things would've gone a lot differently. Flash could've been a law-abiding citizen of the "Open Web", and we could've seen some healthy competition amongst development and runtime environments. The community at large could've found ways to iterate and improve on the technology. But, I suppose that ship has sailed and we're stuck trying to jackhammer the round peg that is application delivery into the trapezoidal hole that is document delivery (i.e., the Web).
First there was the "start-up culture" of my company, working until midnight on things that turned out to be useless pretty soon.

Then, my better half would not let me go (a consequence of the crazy start-up time where I used to come home very late).

Oh, and babies.

This year I finally managed to work out twice a week. Negotiation is key (I get to work out, you get to work out another day...)
What's keeping me from exercising right now is a recovering ankle sprain. It shouldn't be -- there is a lot I can do that will not aggravate the injury, but none of this is part of my routine. Habits and routine seem to take some amount of time to establish, and the overhead for making new ones is hard to find time for.

Before the sprain, I was training to play roller derby. because it is competitive, I'd focus a lot on the skills improvement. The exercise turned into an afterthought. Now I am thinking it would be wiser to have some similar routine, equally intense and with the same mastery of skills reward system and less likelihood of injury.

I don't know that I could go back to lifting, at this point. My drive to be faster is so much more powerful than my desire to be stronger ever was.
What keeps me from it?: the fact that i don't enjoy anything about the process.

How do i keep it up?: by weighing myself every day and being unhappy when the number goes up. By turning sideways and seeing how big my gut is getting in the mirror. I dislike those things more than i dislike exercise.

that being said, i don't exercise ENOUGH, but i figure some is better than none. and some + watching my intake seems to be _slowly_ making the number go down.
It is a trivial subject.
