No such thing is established at all. In particular, high rep only workouts can easily lead to muscle loss. The premier power methods seem to be a blend as discovered by the soviets if I remember correctly; see eg West Side Barbell and remember he's produced 20+ lifters who broke the two thousand pound mark. ie they're fucking huge

But yes, please do not rush out and do any heavy exercises without coaching, particularly squats or deads. You will give yourself lifelong injuries.
I know I'm the only member of my generation that believes this, but movie quotation is not a satisfactory substitute for wit.
I don't think it's a fair comparison. While it inconvenienced and cost Adobe and probably others a lot it didn't broadly shut out anyone building on their platform.
i'm pretty clueless - what are some examples this could be deployed for?
Actually, I don't think that's true -- most, if not all, studies are performed on untrained subjects. It is not at all established that methods that work for the first 6 months work the same at 5+ years.

Ask HN: Web Based Inventory Management App for Small Biz?
Anyone know of web based inventory management apps/analytics for small businesses? I'm trying to do some competitive research for my startup idea (merchantly.com).

Seems like there is a ton of competition in the standalone software space but not many web apps.
I'm assuming that they didn't put the better processor in the 13" due to thermal or battery requirements. Sad, I would really have liked that config.

If you are creative person (musician, visual artist, designer, writer), the iPad might very well be the first usable digital sketchpad for your medium. I tire of people saying the iPad is primarily for consumption; it's simply not true. It may not appeal to the computer hacker, but it certain appeals to many other kinds of hackers.
Unfortunately there is really no way to get these things as an employee, excluding Wall Street (fuck those guys :) ).

The logical conclusion is to start your own company.

It shoots at 1080 with a great sensor, and can mount some very nice lenses for a relatively low price. Plus the 5DmkII is no slouch in the low-light/high-iso arena.

Come on. The iPad is a TV for your hands and everyone knows it. For every person using it to create content there will be 10,000 just reading email and browsing Facebook.

That may be what most people do with their computers anyway, but with computers, a small fraction end up tiptoeing into deeper water and really harnessing the capabilities there for creative expression. The iPad makes that next step impossible. Nobody is going to be banging out a novel on it or learning how to program.

Time will tell, but I'm pretty sure Apple is just fine with the idea of people using the iPad to purchase music, movies, TV, and games...

26 Life Lessons I've Learned in 26 Years of Living
I dropped my cable, but I have a nettop pc hooked up to my TV so that my Hulu/Netflix/Torrent experience maps pretty well.

In practice it is like having TV/Movie on demand for a much lower monthly cost with gaming and web browsing built in. If you do your shopping right LCD TVs make great monitors at couch sitting distance.
It is expensive with the current feature set and will likely have to drop below $300 to become common place but for music control surface applications it's 25% the cost of a Lemur and is more functional since it is programmable http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/442113-REG/Jazz_Mutant...

For most uses I doubt you will need any attachments, with the exception of the case.

My irritation with the opinion expressed in the article and the general content consumption opinion is that the judgments are based on currently available software and hardware configuration and trying to use it like a laptop or phone. It is neither and will likely have new uses and assume some uses of these devices. Dismissing it after only a little more than a week seems unthoughtful and short sighted.

If you are interested in investigating applications for the new form factor the iPad will likely be the only game in town for a year or so and I would buy one. If you are looking to use it for something other than a toy I doubt I would buy it. It could be another few years before similar devices actually catch on with then obvious uses or it could fail and your money and time are wasted.

Ah - sorry!

I hope Slicehost was simply going through their own process; notifying the customer and helping them to resolve the issue: the server may have been running a business that is multiple peoples' livelihoods. Those processes take time, and they have to balance the damage you're doing to the 'target' victim vs the damage to the 'compromised host' victim. Given that shutting down the compromised host wouldn't save the target anyway, I would also have prioritized my own customer.
Keep in mind that if you want significant hypertrophy, you have to continually increase the weight, even if you're doing "high rep." Bodybuilders typically do more high-rep workouts than, say, a powerlifter. But their loads on high-rep workouts are still significantly more than an average person.

Personally, when I strength train, I mix it up between high-rep days (10 or more reps with a moderate weight, usually 4 sets), medium days (5 sets of 5 reps with loads that range from 70% to 90% of my max) and heavy days (7-10 reps of singles at higher than 90% of max). The hardest days, mentally and physically, are the high-rep days because it taxes my conditioning just as much as my strength.

Few people take using a pen/pencil beyond basic writing skills. Those that do with perseverance make art. The iPad isn't going to change that truth about tools. Not it and nor whatever competes with it. In anycase, you need to broaden your definition of creative - learning how to program is really only one field of creativity (one I love and enjoy) among many.
Something to do with the boot BIOS. I don't have the external HD and could not boot off of bootable usb sticks, or the internal compact flash. Wubi wouldn't even work. Some people have been able to install but I think all of them have the external dvd which I think is ESATA? Just google envy15 linux and you will find people with a whole host of issues trying to install linux on this thing.

Nanoparticle Vaccine for Type 1 Diabetes?
Yes. Really. It bothers me as a Slicehost customer that Slicehost didn't get on top of a report that one of their VMs was compromised. Those VMs are on the same local networking hardware, and perhaps on the same server hardware, as my own VMs.

I'm unclear why I'm supposed to care about Atlassian. I don't use Atlassian products.
So I think a good portion of us agree that this article is somewhat bullshit, and the consensus is "pay me what I am worth, dammit!". Fair enough, but what would you rather and which would motivate you more?

A decent salary + big performance bonus or a high salary and no bonus? Even at the end of the year, if they were equal it is my thought that a decent salary + large bonus would seem more rewarding, psychologically. Thoughts?
Security 101 we teach clients: if you have a compromised server take it down. It's too risky to do anything else really.

If it was running a clients services they are compromised too and if that is the case, and Slicehost leaves it compromised, that is a serious liability problem.

There is a reasonably high likelihood it was a slice set up specifically to launch attacks (though the blog post does say compromised, so perhaps they have more info on the slice in question than has been made public so far). In which case leaving it running is, again, unnecessary liability.

I think tptacek and I are just surprised this didn't concern Slicehost as much as it, probably, should :)
You cannot run a hosting provider and ignore reports that your own hardware is being used to launch criminal attacks. It's that simple.
I should have qualified that: by "high rep" I meant in the 10 - 12 rep range, as opposed to, say 5 reps. It's true that some training protocols call for much higher reps, but those are not typical.

The appropriate references supporting this can be found in "Practical Programming for Strength Training" by Rippetoe, amongst other resources.
Cox seems about $30 per month cheaper than the best price I found from Comcast. Unfortunately it is not available in Annapolis.
Expecting any company to be consistent is foolish.

Steve Jobs, 2008: "It doesn’t matter how good or bad the product is, the fact is that people don’t read anymore. Forty percent of the people in the U.S. read one book or less last year. The whole conception is flawed at the top because people don’t read anymore."
Yes. Past about 30, muscle you don't use is muscle you lose. We don't have to become frail in our old age. Regular strength training is a way to prevent it.
You should make this into a Django app that people can plugin to their admin interfaces. It would be a great tool for on the fly code development, bug fixes, etc.
No, they addressed it by claiming that nothing that wasn't already outsourced has been outsourced; they simply centralized vendors.

In the absence of politics, with a guarantee of a fair boss, and if [(decent salary+bonus) > high salary] this would be true. As things stand, and people being people, I (and most people, I think) would prefer the high salary, especially if the two figures equal.

Really, who would prefer (X-10)+p*(10) where p lies between 0 and 1 over X?

The computer game Spore had a very large negative response due to the DRM SecuROM being used. Interestingly, publishers use SecuROM often now and much of the backlash has disappeared. It shows how being on the crest of a wave can hurt your product, but following it can work out.

My first thought is that plenty of games have UIs built from scratch. I think the conventions are just that: conventions.

I have an iPad and I don't really miss Flash too much, but I do find other aspects of web browsing much less efficient.

Tabs are much more cumbersome. Instead of just clicking a tab, you've got to zoom out, pick your window and zoom back in. It's a lot more motion.

Scrolling, typing, copying and pasting are also not as simple. Touch scrolling is nice, but it's a lot more movement. Typing and copy/paste are just slower. I still type slower on the large iPad keyboard than on the much smaller iPhone keyboard.

Another problem I have with it is that if I'm filling out a form, for example a message on Facebook, and I need to switch to email to copy something and come back to Safari and paste it in, there is no guarantee that the Facebook message I started typing will still be there. It's a little frustrating.

I'm sure all these kinks will eventually be worked out, but as it is, I still find myself grabbing my Macbook Pro when I'm going to be any "serious" browsing or my iPhone when I'm just looking something up really quickly.

I really like the iPad for some things, but in my experience, browsing hasn't been all it was cracked up to be.

OK, serious question to you as a security guru: Shouldn't we always assume that every host outside of our control is compromised? So why should I care how long it takes someone to shut down a compromised host?

I think there are lessons we should all learn / double check, but I don't understand why you chose to highlight this issue.
While good for practice or a warm-up, I've found it a particularly good way to learn algorithms, compare implementations across languages, etc. The forums are great. (It's humbling to see so many solved a line or two of J, too.)

Why should copyright depend on the length of a piece of work ?

You can't measure value by size.

The standard definition of what's copyrightable is based upon creativity. So the shortest expression of a statement of fact is unlikely to enjoy copyright due to it's lack of creativity. But even a single worded creative expression on the other hand would likely enjoy protection (reasonably I believe).

Remember that copyright is unlike patent or trademark law, in that if two people independently come up with the same creative work then they'll both own the rights to it.

I'm a strong advocate of fair use (in that I've actively been involved in political lobbying on the issue). But there's no fair use case here, taking an entire work of creativity (a "tweet") in it's full and reproducing it for commercial gain just isn't fair use.

You could argue that there's been an implicit agreement on the authors part to allow redistributing (i.e. re-tweeting), and indeed such an argument has been used successfully historically in comparable situations (i.e. Usenet)
It is just a form of message passing / broadcasting. Simplest example is chat. More complex example is Google Wave.
Tell-HN: Lessons from a hack: one-way hash, password reset tokens & session keys
Joomla has an (as of this writing unpatched) SQL injection bug. The hackers requested a password reset, used the SQL injection to view the password reset token, and then used the token to change the password. (And once they had admin access to joomla, they had access to the filesystem and did lots more.)

Everyone (hopefully) one way hashes login passwords, but who thinks to do the same for password reset tokens? But in fact they are (short term) passwords and should be hashed.

And even if you do that, I'm sure very few will think to one-way hash session keys. But session keys are also passwords (albeit temporary ones). If someone can read your session store they can impersonate any logged in user!

So also one-way hash the session keys.

Not having SQL injections would nice of course :) But mistakes (bugs) happen, and you should have multiple layers of defense.
I think it probably is primarily for consumption, as evidenced by the apps that it ships with.

I have no doubt that visual artists can create pretty good work with one, but I think they'll generally prefer pen based interfaces. Especially if they have giant sausage fingers. :)
I need to get into this business. Couldn't agree more with the style. Somehow my managers have been convinced that financial incentives don't work in tech. Screw that. I think we should make t-shirts saying 'Fuck You, Pay Me'. startup anyone?
The article is talking about Apple choosing not to devote development time to porting the Carbon APIs to 64-bit. It's completely different from the terms of service change. Porting the Carbon APIs to 64-bit takes time, effort and money. Apple probably didn't feel there would be enough of a ROI. Changing the legal wording of a document to kill off specific types of third-party developer tools is a completely different beast.

Also, there's a difference between being controlling about your platform, and invalidating another company's business plans days before launch. The fact that Apple changed their terms of service without notice to Adobe (or others) right before the planned release of Flash CS5 is a total dick move. At the very least, Apple could have told Adobe that they plan to block them if they go forward with their Flash-to-iPhoneOS plans, but instead Apple decided to let Adobe invest time and money into the development of the product only to rush in at the last minute and say, "sorry, you can't do that."
Really? Would you take a $10,000 pay raise to clean the inside of sewage holding tanks?
Yes, but it's still useful to not make HN about every possible thing. If "weightlifting is hacking your body", then "being into cosmetics is hacking your appearance", "political activism is about hacking government/society", and every possible interest is hacking something. Isn't the point of this site to be tech-focused?
Invisibility cloak created in 3-D
Definitely true. We've all been barking up the "don't use Flash unless you need it" tree for years, but it hasn't really made a difference.

Bottom line seems to be that people love the way Flash sites look. If we can achieve that differently, bully for us, but most people probably won't notice.
Where Microsoft beats Apple (Fonts)
I find the "developers aren't motivated by money" thing demeaning. Of course developers are motivated by money. It's not the only motivation, but it's in there.

It's demeaning because what you're really saying is "I shouldn't have to pay for creative work, since money is for important people like me."
There are so many things we take for granted when programming. It's always enlightening to see how simple bugs can turn into serious vulnerabilities for the clever hacker.

As programmers we really should educate ourselves about these things because there can be unusual interactions which you don't expect, such as caching behavior, or spreading your data across many virtual pages on a heavily-used machine.
It's a great experience for browsing a web page. But here's something I had to do when I had my iPad, which sucked with it, but is great on desktop:

We have a wiki and I needed to move a bunch of comments to work items in our bug database. So on my desktop I would have just have two instances of the browser open and would literally read from the wiki and create new work items in the bug database.

On the iPad this was painful. There's no side by side view (that I could get to work at least), and it seemed to reload the bug database every time I'd toggle back to that page!!! I don't want a reload, just show me the page I was looking at 10 seconds ago!

Not a good experience.

I have a D90. It is not usable as a motion picture camera at all. You need to evaluate if you're buying a motion camera, or a still camera. The D90 is a fantastic still camera...but if you're just getting into photo and don't have an investment in lenses...get the 5D.
Two different ways to look at this interesting situation:

1) A tweet is no different than an email sent to the entire world. Like an email, if you want to protect the contents, you should include a disclaimer.

2) A tweet is a small blogpost, subject to the same content ownership rights.

Are you saying that you already plan to have hired a staff to do all the "hard stuff" after publishing only a few issues?

That seems delusional. You don't even have a mock up or anything yet to show advertisers. You haven't even worked out how you'll get permission for the content.
Yeah I was wondering about that, too. The funny thing is the universe is supposed to be 13.73 billion years old but even wikipedia states 93 billion light years as a size estimate.
I have the D90 and have played the Canon. The D90 is no where near the same page for quality. It only does 720p for one and second it has a "jelly" motion issue where the sensor is not fast enough and if you move while shooting it gives a weird effect. Also you can only shoot five minutes at a time then the sensor needs to cool down.

If you enjoy weightlifting, that's fine, but I don't see what it has to do with hacker culture. Some people enjoy literary theory too, and I don't begrudge them that, but I would be pretty surprised to see it here.

Right. RED One was designed from the ground-up to be the ultimate digital cinema camera. The 5D-M2? A few software engineers likely spent a week or two tweaking out the video capture that tied into whatever chip the hardware guys had slapped into the machine. RED will need to adjust if it wants to capture part of the hungry indy crowd.
The D90 is easily the worst of the VDSLRs... for video. It's still one of the best mid-range DSLRs out there, if not the best. I have one too; the video is completely broken. While I have no direct experience with the 5D Mark II, rumour has it that the rolling shutter problems are considerably less noticeable.
I love 4:3 screens, but they are very hard to get as the article states.
