I've exercised consistently since 15, I'm now 39 and have conquered my beer belly. I'd ride 9 miles each way in to work, was very muscly and a reasonable standard high school basketball. Here's my advice.

.

Understand just what the overall reaction of the body to exercise can be.

* Some people are super responders, some people are super not-responders. Find out where you are and make peace with it.

* There is a tradeoff between tiring yourself out and replenishing your energy. Don't overtrain

* There are two types of muscle short explosive muscle for strength and bulk and lean muscle for duration / marathon

* Muscle training works by tearing the muscles a little bit. This needs to recover and regrow. Segment the muscles you train. Biceps and Triceps one day. Shoulders the next, then legs the following.

* A lot of exercise is boring. Treadmill esp. Consider watching a live sport while treadmilling... that keeps it more interesting. ( Get outside and use communal facilities )

* Exercise releases endorphines, which registers as pleasurable to you brain and body. However they are weak and only slightly addictive. Get to a place where your body craves the endorphin release of exercise. Remove caffeine and sugar from your diet which are much stronger than endorphines and erase the addiction.

* The body adjusts to any exercise and you get diminishing returns often. Switch your routine to incorporate different body parts.

.

Understand yourself.

Exercise within reasonable boundaries of what is possible for your body type

I'm 6"2' and 100KG I just can't do rock climbing easily, altough I look at American Ninja Warriors with envy.

Do you need a Personal Trainer to get motivated ?

Are you best in the morning or after work?

Things change with age. I used to be able to exercise in the evening. Now it has to be the morning.

.

Ignore The Noise

Fashions, drinks, creatin, powders, straps, gadgets, expensive gyms and personal trainers. Ignore them all.

Exercise can be a mild meditation. Encourage that via having a rythmic routine, yet still including variety.

How did this get up-voted to the front page? Maybe this would have been good advice in 1997 but nowadays it certainly does not work. I have a site with perfectly optimized titles and urls and rankings still terrible... You need lots of links and domain authority to rank well...that's what it boils down to. That's why the NYT, Wikipedia, Forbes, and Fortune rank well for everything.
Are there any projects to build a decentralized Wikipedia? Perhaps using ipfs or similar technology. I did some brief searching but couldn't find anything. It would be a great step forward to ensuring we have a permanent indestructible knowledgebase anyone can access.

Do you see results like many have seen from SS? I've read that dumbbell workouts aren't necessarily as effective as barbells but I like the convenience of doing it from home. I've got a set of 50lb Powerblocks, an exercise ball I use as a bench, and a power tower (https://amzn.com/B0098MAYNY), but I'm ineffective at it as I don't have a good plan, so I've fallen back to mostly jogging. Would you mind sharing your routine?
A Friend lent me this and I never gave it back (Sorry Tony!) The first chapter was so hard going I didnt read it for two years then wham! What an awesome book, sex, violence, deception, robots and starships with a bloody good ending to boot, definitely in my top five novels of any genre.
That's not what superdeterminism would indicate at all.

"Conspiracy" indicates free will on a large number of actors.

And a superdeterministic system could exist which differs from standard ways of approaching quantum mechanics. One obvious way in which it could exist is if our means of gathering data remain as limited as they are currently--i.e. we don't ever find a way around Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and therefore can't ever model quanta deterministically. Superdeterminism doesn't mean that we'd always be able to measure the deterministic phenomena.
> However it made me think that maybe this type of stop is a trade off you have to make for the 2nd amendment.

Nonsense — we had a 2nd Amendment and far more prevalent arms ownership in the 19th century, with less police violence.

Being a police officer really isn't very dangerous. What we need are the police to realise that the vast majority of the people they encounter aren't a danger to them.

Helpful to get more details and I can definitely defer to your description; I just have surface-level observations overall. This part though:

>How? I think you have to look to companies that have been able to make profitable businesses out of new technologies or products that were distinctly different than their initial success.

That's a great concept to keep in mind. I've been a big gear head for most of my life, and only later on did I learn that a company like Mitsubishi or Volvo had additional heavy machinery lines, not just automobiles (I'm using the premise they were 'successful' and economics / leadership decisions / market forces notwithstanding). My thought is that you're touching greatly that a company's culture may have critical importance to being able to do such things.

It very much rings true to me after having a lot of low-level retail & some Fortune XXX gigs, and one of the ways I was able to understand it better was to write up a TV pilot / show idea about an R&D department in a toy company during the go-go 1980s. Exploring a culture of development, albeit with significant stakes & external competition, was actually really pleasant because I could (can still?) see Pros & Cons that, um, well define an overall culture. Pardon if I'm convoluted explaining it but I just really enjoyed exploring the concept as a wannabe inventor.

Sometimes the starter is something like breaking up with your partner and finding yourself both single and perhaps out of shape. That might kick you into the gym but it is not going to keep you there on the long run.

To keep going on you have to have a goal oriented mindset. Mine was to get toned at the beginning. After losing some fat and gaining the initial muscle, then I decided to have a six pack. I realized it is a lot harder then I though. I started to bulk and cut. It takes about 6 months or so, then I realized it was not enough, and I needed some more muscle, so did it again. Another 6 months (4 bulking, 2 cutting), and now I am at the best shape ever.

Now I can't not even think on staying too long without working out. 2-3 times a week minimum, and I always feel awesome after a work out (lifting). And this feeling lasts for 2-3 days. I think cardio doesn't have the same after effect feeling that proper weight lifting does.

1. Goal oriented, (i.e lose 15 lbs of fat and gain 10lbs muscle). Or get to 13% body-fat and be strong at the same time. Or get a 6 pack.... whatever it is.

2. Reward yourself by buying new/well fitted clothes, enjoy the positive attention you get when you get really fit

3. Keep doing it for long enough (6 months at least), and it becomes who you are. You wont even think on not going to the gym for too long.
I don't think you're wrong, it's just amusing that something so simple became such a gigantic mess when put through the IBM process. It's food for thought.
I think when "digital nomad" is mentioned, readers' minds generally conjure up a person who never stays at a place longer than 3 months. There's a notion of constant movement.

On the other hand, "expats" are people who are relatively settled on year-long contracts with a rented flat.

I'm not agreeing with the binary, but there's a common image that comes to mind.
AFAIK there's no explicit limit per se - the BDR developers tested it with 48 nodes, but it will work with more nodes.

But there are things you'll probably run into - for example this only supports full mesh topology, i.e. each node speaks to every other node. So the more nodes you have, the higher the number of management connections.
If we removed guns from non-federal officers and made gun violence a federal crime, we could reach a Nash equilibrium state from a game theory perspective. Criminals have no incentive to harm local police. Failure to surrender to a police officer becomes a federal crime.

Better system?
I'd say that PTSD sounds the worst, though because it has the very negative words "traumatic", "stress" and "disorder". The middle 2 are the least bad, because "exhaustion" is not that negative.

Show HN: Hacker Hall - Virtual Coworking
Something similar. I'm on track to hit about 130 days on the road this year and I was something similar last year. Combination of work and vacation with the two mixed together somewhat.

On the one hand, I start to get antsy when I'm in one place for too long and really enjoy meeting new people and seeing new places. But it's a lot of days of living out of a suitcase. And one gets to miss seeing people and going to events at home--and just miss relaxing at home and having access to the activities there.

This isn't what most people really talk about when they say digital nomad, to be sure. But there are a lot of similarities. In some ways, business travel is easier--expense accounts, decent hotels, a lot of structure. At the same time, you're constantly moving and often don't have an option to so much as put some snacks in a fridge.
re-read the post. it wasn't reported as a stolen car. it was a license plate that was reported as missing/lost from a different car.
I have been using a Hackintosh for the last 2 years and I love it. I bought a Dell (http://www.dell.com/us/p/inspiron-15-5000-series/pd) and had a friend set up the Mac VM; the only issue that I can recall is that I couldn't use Sound Cloud's API (I vaguely remember what the issue is).

I installed a SSD not too long ago and the computer runs both VM's, no problem. One of the best decisions I have ever made.

Google once had the entire Brazilian social network share... And then, they just abandoned it. What I guess just reinforces your story at the last paragraph.

iTerm2 keeps state in this way for all my open tabs, except that it does a new login shell, so my history doesn't stay consistent: they all get the same history after a restart.

Still, not having to open all the terminals I use for different things and resize and position them is a win. It's the small things. :)

It's easy to understand stored value/gift cards, but why cellphones and drop shipping?

Anyone care to elaborate?
It would be much less confusing if you didn't compare a storage mechanism
(append-only log) to message transporters (Kafka).
> Google has tried and failed to make phones (Motorola/Android)

But Google tried and succeeded in making a phone operating system that ended up becoming dominant, that gives the rest of their services top billing. Imagine if Apple had kept a near-monopoly on the high end, and/or if the company that leveraged the gap they left at the low end had been Microsoft or BlackBerry.
"should" from a market efficiency standpoint. By being an all or nothing proposition, it makes it hard for investors to buy in if they are fundamentally against one technology (e.g. user data mining) but want to support another (e.g. self driving cars). It ultimately results in the entire company being less valuable than the sum of its parts (think Yahoo where it's Alibaba holdings alone were worth more than its market cap).

In other words, by having so many diverse bets, investors in Alphabet have to buy into all of those bets. So the number of investors that believe in all of those bets is smaller than the sum of all investors that would invest in each one individually.
From the actual blog @ https://blogs.windows.com/business/2016/08/11/updates-to-sil...

"Windows 7 was designed nearly 10 years ago before any x86/x64 SOCs existed. For Windows 7 to run on any modern silicon, device drivers and firmware need to emulate Windows 7’s expectations for interrupt processing, bus support, and power states- which is challenging for WiFi, graphics, security, and more. As partners make customizations to legacy device drivers, services, and firmware settings, customers are likely to see regressions with Windows 7 ongoing servicing."
Very nice. I've used a lot of the same tool chain and currently it's an amalgamation of a bunch of bash scripts and some networking rules. This looks awesome, I love how streamlined it is. I'll be trying it out!
I find it frustrating that private businesses, especially in the various sub-sectors having to do with money and payments, have pretty much been wholesale enlisted to be arms of the state.

The kind of agnosticism described in the first paragraph might mean, in a sane world, that a company like Stripe makes no assessment over whether a company's practices are legal or illegal, leaving this to the government to act upon alone.
MIPS then Itanium then Xeons. A lot of companies rode the Itanic because it looked so high-class. One, good result is you can get an Itanium server on ebay for about $120 if it's a small SGI. I kind of smiled and winced when I noticed that trend.
[] and {} create new objects. === always compares by identity, which isn't a unique feature. It's equivalent to Java's ==, and two different objects aren't ever equal to each other. === is equivalent to Python's `is`, and you'll get false from `[] is []` in Python for example.
I agree 100 percent that recruiters prefer Word docs because they're easier to tamper with. (A recruiter once asked me over the phone if I had my resume in a format other than PDF, then said it was okay because he had a way to edit it anyway!)

That said,

> word formats are pretty unamenable to parsing

Compared to what? Almost all resumes show up in .doc or .pdf format. Maybe the occasional snowflake will submit an HTML file, a WordPerfect document, or a .swf file.

Candidates submitting raw text (or something like JSON) are going to be few and far between. (Although RTF is actually straight text under the hood, and I'm surprised I don't see it mentioned more often.)
Supported by who? SGI's Itanium boxes or HP after acquisition?
It's a fair point. I've certainly seen the sales team promise something that, as an engineer, I have no idea how I'm going to implement. Some days I wish I could join the sales folks when they're giving their pitch just to make sure expectations are kept in line (from both sides).

That's why I always give a little leeway if I can. If they want their report changed from monthly to weekly, I'll do it. But sometimes it becomes clear they're just trying to take advantage of me and get extra work done for free. After all, why would they pay for a bar graph AND a pie chart, with both of them being shown as monthly and weekly reports, when they could just pay for one and then say "oh that's not what we meant, can you change that?"

I certainly will change that, no problem. But only if I have hours left after I complete everything listed in the original SOW.

Not being tongue in cheek here - actually quite serious: How do you feel about Apple and Braeburn Capital?
Given the kind of "cloud"-backed startups most of HN are working on, I think the more practical measurement would be the overhead of a ring 0/3 separation in a VM, plus hypercalls, plus a ring 0/3 separation in the hypervisor (for paravirtualized syscalls); averaged against a ring 0/3 separation in a VM, plus SR-IOV virtualization (for HVM-backed syscalls.)

Yeah, this doesn't apply for context-switches that happen because of plain old pre-emption, but it does happen if the context-switch is because e.g. a network packet wants to arrive at another process in your VM than the one that's currently running.

I would imagine that there's a reason bare-metal IaaS providers have a business model. :)
TIL that Donald Duck isn't very popular in the US.

I grew up with a weekly Disney comic book that was a collection of mostly Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse (detective) stories. Almost always skipped Mickey, he's just way too boring as a character.

But didn't you guys have Duck Tales as well? I thought that was massively popular.
I attributed it to the somewhat interesting way in which recognition and promotions were handed out, which was to say if someone else got word of your idea/project and executed on it more quickly they could declare victory and take the glory.

Wow, that sounds like a toxic environment, and I would hate to work at a place like that.
AFAIK most PDs train not to aim unless ready to discharge, but it's sort of moot given the low standards for 'justifiably' shooting.
They should say that, not that they "will start using software" because it sounds like they'll try to install adware on your machine.
Anything with low traceability and high resale value (like dropshipped goods) tends to become a fraud/money-laundering target.

Kernel panics are a bigger issue. They happened to me once every 3 months.

I think you're taking something personally that isn't at all intended that way, and I think that's making it difficult for you to appreciate the nuance in the statement to which you've responded. I understand why and I don't blame you for it, but I hope you're able to take a step back from the passion of the moment and reconsider; on the one hand, I think there's useful insight here, and on the other, I know it's not pleasant to feel yourself put so thoroughly on the defensive that you have to respond this aggressively, and I'm sorry to see anyone go through that, especially when it may not actually be necessary.

'jerf didn't say that academia is evil because Stalin, but rather that intellectualism which becomes too far divorced from reality can be an extremely dangerous force; he cited Soviet central economic planning as an extreme example of the sort of danger to which he refers.

I don't think it is controversial to say that Soviet economic policies were derived primarily from a political theory which was developed by people whom it's accurate to describe as "intellectuals", in the demonymic usage we seem to be taking as conventional in this thread. I also don't think it's controversial to say that these policies produced widespread, severe privation among the population on whom they were tried.

And I don't think it is accurate, or fair, to say that 'jerf meant this example as a general indictment of modern academia. Nothing in his comment seems to me to suggest anything of the sort. But I can see how, if I were myself an academic and an "intellectual", I might take some of what he did say as a very direct attack on my identity and sense of self-worth, and respond to that rather than to the arguments actually being made.

I hope I'm not coming across as patronizing here. I'm really not trying to be. It's just that, as a tradesman, I don't really have a dog in this fight, and as someone who's worked among academics in the past, I've had the opportunity to develop some insight into some patterns of thought which people who work in that paradigm might share. Among those, I think, is a general feeling of being constantly under attack by a populace which is both ignorant of what science and academia actually do, on the one hand, and on the other deliberately misinformed by a variety of demagogues for their own political benefit.

It wouldn't surprise me to see someone, who is accustomed to what I'd almost call this siege mentality, to react aggressively to anything which looked even a little like a critical analysis of the value of academia or intellectualism as a whole. It's very natural to respond in such fashion to an attack on one's livelihood. But I don't think what is going on here really is such an attack, and maybe the conversation we could all have about what 'jerf is saying would be more interesting and mutually satisfactory than the one we currently seem to be having.

Either that, or I'm completely wrong about what's going on and I've totally misread the entire situation. I don't think that's the case, but how can I be sure?

>TIL that Donald Duck isn't very popular in the US.

A large part due to how utterly annoying it is to listen to him "talk".

>But didn't you guys have Duck Tales as well? I thought that was massively popular.

Yes - at least in my childhood/area it was very popular. They also didn't talk like Donald Duck though. That probably has a lot to do with it.
What they don't talk about is the real struggle the less-literate face, even when they have access to computers.

I tried to teach a class on computers in my local library and that was often the hurdle. Adults who want 'computer training' are most excited about getting a job. But while it's easy to teach them to move the cursor and click on the browser, that doesn't do any good when they can't write enough to search, or read job descriptions, or write their resume.
