I realize you weren't asking me, but as I had it many, many years ago I'll describe it, before I go into what I did.

One day, I woke up and both hands felt a bit odd, painful and tingling all the time. The next day, I woke up and both hands were burning. I had no strength, and no fine control at all. When I did tense them, it felt like I was holding my hands under a running hot tap. I couldn't hold a fork to get food to my mouth, I couldn't even hold a key to get it into the lock to open the door.

I was studying at the time, and obviously couldn't continue that. No doctor was able to help me, I was put on anti-inflamatories that were completely ineffective. I started drinking to deal with the pain, and within a couple of months I was drinking 3.2 gallons (12 liters) of beer a day, just to dull the pain.

Once the pain died away, I was still left with some serious problems. Fortunately alcohol dependence was not one of them (I just stopped drinking). Any repetitive motion that lasted more than a few minutes would cause me a day or more of pain. I found I was unable to reliably hold things, and I could just lose my grip on whatever was in my hands. Many glasses and cups were smashed because I just couldn't hold them.

So here's when I figured out what was wrong: many of my problems were related to a significant loss of strength. Because I had been unable to do anything for more than three months, I had lost much of the strength in my hands and forearms. Stamina, too. This meant that when I did anything repetitive, I was straining the muscles beyond their ability to cope.

I sold my computers, and grabbed a pair of free weights I had lying around. The "free" part is important, because machines reduce the load on ancillary muscles. I started doing some very basic arm strength exercises (curls and reverse curls). However, training yourself is something I would recommend against - find a reputable physiotherapist and have them set you out a basic rehab program, and get a muscle balance assessment, too. You could find that you have other issues that are causing your problems - I still have serious muscle tension issues that I am working on, with the assistance of a physio.

I studied personal training some years after, and I've found that it's so very easy to screw it up when you do it all yourself. I met one guy who thought he was just a paragon of bodybuilding - he was bench pressing well over 200 pounds, but his lat pulldowns were limited to just 30 or 40 pounds. His shoulders were rounded so far forward that you couldn't see any definition in his pecs.

The main reason I recommend a physio rather than a Personal Trainer (PT) is that, as I said, you may have some biomechanical issues that need sorting out, and no matter how much a PT may claim they can do this kind of thing, they are not medical professionals. A PT would be helpful in making sure you you are biomechanically sound in implementing the physio's program, but there's no substitute for real medical help.

I hope this helps you, good luck.
I think the better question is why should I bother with Wire? It's all of 3 months old, (and iOS is already on 2.0? Really?) Signal has been around for a few years now and uses a well-respected ratcheting encryption library similar to OTR. It's been well-audited and widely-adopted. It's already the de facto standard for FOSS E2E mobile messaging.
But yet, it is ok when various US state government entities (e.g., universities, yes, I'm talking about you, California) adopt policies and procedures which are specifically intended to admit Asian students in lower numbers than the qualified applicant pool. Hmm, interesting.
That sort of thing, sure. I'd like something a bit more consumer focused, though!
Doesn't it distract you when you are in deep work?
Fingers crossed they go with a saner native option like QT rather than a slow, crappy, wrapped web app.
After looking again, I realized uBlock was reporting that it had blocked something and so I took a look and it is Google Analytics. Just out of curiosity, why include that?
True but you're forgetting that it may be cheap to cover up shady certs they throw in, distraction. Like all the money laundering resorts in Cancun.
Get a G-Shock watch and set the countdown timer to whatever duration suits you. Given the 20:20:20:20 rule I saw above, I figure a 20 minute countdown probably isn't a bad countdown.

At school, I was taught that we have a short attention span of something like 10-15 minutes, so you could always do that. Every time the alarm goes off, go for a walk around the office.

Not quite what you were asking for, I know.

What do you propose instead? Software for dumb phones? Meshes using SDR devices?
Proposition 209 banned consideration of race and ethnicity for admissions to public universities in the State of California in 1996. Either you've been in a coma for the last twenty years or you are in fact not talking about California.
An alternative to mandating standard designs is to mandate open designs -- royalty-free licenses and documentation must be adequate for third parties to manufacture and improve all parts.
IT'S GONE FOR GOOD
I'm not sure about this specifics here, but this is a feature offered by some CAs:

They create a new intermediate, signed by their root, just for you. You then get to ask that CA to issue certs for you - and only you.

You don't have total control over the intermediate -- as you suggest, that would let you mitm everyone.

But by having an intermediate that you effectively control, you could have apps/devices/etc that trust only that intermediate (via pinning, HPKP, etc). That prevents a bunch of the possible downsides of using the public PKI (eg, a CA mis-issuing a cert for your domains), the downsides of pinning a leaf cert (because you can always issue another one off your intermediate if you change names, etc), and the downsides of a private PKI (because stuff that trusts the public PKI works too)
List of longest prison sentences
"From the American Academy of Ophthalmology[1]: "Staring at your computer screen, smartphone or other digital devices for long periods won’t cause permanent eye damage, but your eyes may feel dry and tired.""

I always believed this myself but I wonder what kind of research has been done to back it up. Intuitively, staring at a computer screen for 8+ hours a day for year after year would not seem to be a good thing.

Indeed this article seems to claim different:

"As you sit in front of the screen, your eyes dry out, and you stop blinking. Over time this leads to damage of the eye muscle that is used to focus on far away objects and damage to the tear ducts."

Sure, your ideas are so unique, never heard of them before; except from people who don't understand how politics work. Prop 13 isn't going anywhere, especially not with both California's dysfunctional legislature, and its popularity with homeowners. Same with mortgage interest deduction. You'll never see a major candidate campaigning to reduce the deduction because it's political suicide.
Same here. I think I started with the first public issue and it has become a habit I enjoy having. Seconding Inside Security as very good.
I upvoted you in spite of your tone, because your statements are not undue.

The AllWinner stuff is concerning because they weren't exactly transparent about things.

However, the Octavo stuff looks like your bog-standard chips from BeagleBone/TI just all smashed onto the same substrate. You could decap the module and see if that's true.
Yep, I think it's too narrow. I'm more than happy to agree to disagree! I'm curious though, since you're certain this is the correct policy, why do you think it has been so hard to communicate?
The incident was terrible, but it is not a reflection on how their CA is run. They run a trustworthy CA and employ some really awesome and competent people (e.g. Rob Stradling) who actively contribute to improving the Web PKI, such as by (co-)authoring the CAA, Must-Staple, and Certificate Transparency standards. They run https://crt.sh, which is an invaluable resource for investigating Web PKI problems (the Mozilla report and associated mailing list threads are peppered with crt.sh links). If their trademark filings had amounted to actual legal threats against Let's Encrypt I would hesitate to send them business, but it seems more like their CEO is just a giant blowhard. The good they do makes up for it.

In contrast, I'm much more appalled by Symantec/GeoTrust's misdeeds (e.g. issuing unauthorized "test" certificates for google.com, badly botching the SHA-1 deprecation, cross-signing the US Federal PKI). I think Symantec is incompetent and contributes negatively to the Web PKI. I no longer issue their certificates by default, and am going to replace them with a different CA.
I like the concept. Waiting until a tipping point (subscriber count or sponsorship) before launching a new newsletter is a good idea. Also thought the simple touch of consistently noting the frequency of each newsletter was good.

1. Mostly event volume, but also number of integrations
2. It's actually possible if you cname your domain eg. `alooma.user5994461.com` to `inputs.alooma.com`. However, SSL won't work as we don't support installing custom certificates at the moment.
> How in the world are people making it through schools (with a MS!) without actually.... uhh.... you know.... knowing the subject at all?

Recent undergraduate grad here. A lot of the algorithms I've seen on technical interviews were only covered once or twice in the curriculum. Basically, one such algorithm would come up in either the data structures or algorithms class, we would then work on it for the given assignment/exam, and finally we would move on from it. Subsequent course work would barely reference it.

These things are best learned through repetition. Unfortunately, with all of the other CS coursework topics that I was being educated on, it seemed like there was little room for the repetition to take place. (At least, not in the stereotypical four year timespan assuming that the given student enters a CS program with no prior programming knowledge.)
I'd buy that if we were talking about the median, but the mean? It really is completely meaningless on its own.
Wow, talk about your Mystery Meat interfaces.
Wow, you got me there. Apple ditched the floppy because they knew they could leverage the iphone 5 years later.

And because they have a phone, they could totally ditch the cdrom, because, like, who wants to use a CD on their phone, right?

And the ethernet jack! Man, I felt stupid having to plug my phone into the wall for the internets.

But that headphone jack. Their phone totally blazed that trail, getting rid of that. Wait, what? The Macbook dropped it in 2015?

Surely though, most people that have an iphone use a mac right? That's the leverage point! Well no, only about 10% of iphone users had a mac in 2015. Even if it was 1-1, what difference would it make? There's no leverage to be had. iphones work with windows last I checked, and the growing trend is not bothering to "sync" your phone with a computer at all.
There are a couple of recorded webcasts where they mentioned the pricing; it's approximately $2k/seat/year, if I recall correctly. They do make you register for the trial, but they approve it quickly. It's definitely worth checking out.

I originally objected to IP per pod given that it was so early in wide scale deployment of SDN on metal (at Red Hat, a year before Kube 1.0, we were already worried about how in the world we could support IP per pod as well as on gce). In light of everything, I think it was the right decision. While VXLAN is cumbersome, IP per entity allows very powerful integration into existing networks, fits well with almost all tools in the space, and makes apps much easier to run.

I do still want to see more solid work done for programmable BGP (calico) and programmable iptables (Contiv) and even programmable routers (it's not that hard to program routers on the fly today, just incredibly specific to each technology).

I also look forward to being able to exploit tools like ECMP more effectively within the cluster to do L3 load balancing and DSR - much of that would be a lot harder without being able to rely on endpoints everywhere.
It's not complicated to understand. If you work hard, you need rest. Your body, if you don't derange her with stimulant drinks and cocaine, she will tell you, "I need to rest!" So just listen! It's not that hard. Just listen to your grandma instead of being a techno nerd who drinks red bull until he is deranged with permanently lowered IQ from sleep deprivation and a weird disease. If you work hard, you need a rest.
You're right, but the irony here is that perfect price discrimination (where the producer can costlessly and effortlessly force rich customers to pay P2) is the best possible situation for the poor customers.

This implies that relatively cheap ways of borking a product (make one chip, disable some features) can be better for low-end consumers than more expensive methods (such as actually running two production lines), even though it seems less fair.
I'm not aware of any "solid way" of reliably transmitting encrypted messages of any useful length within the 160 characters allowed in a single SMS message, let alone installing a usable method of encrypting the messages.
Rotating teams. Replacement vehicles. Spare parts. Fuel. Food. Batteries. Crew swaps. Visas and permits. Armed guards to protect the anti-poaching crew when they might run into conflict with local militia.

It's also not like elephants pick areas to travel that are particularly friendly to vehicles. Look at this track one group took from one side of Africa to the other: https://safarihorizons.wordpress.com/2012/06/26/in-the-track...

Africa is not known for having exceptionally well maintained roads, they make Russian backwoods trails look like the Autobahn, and that goes quadruple inside a nature reserve. Driving this distance in any vehicle would be absolute hell.
> They have absolutely no interest in conservation.

Who's "they"? Are you saying that wild game reserves just categorically don't work and can't preserve wild populations of animals?

Do you only think that about Africa (why?) or e.g. also for U.S. National Parks or other areas where you can buy hunting tags?

Full disclosure: I don't hunt, I have no interested in doing so. I'm just perplexed that solutions that seem to work in the west to align economic incentives with conservation aren't being applied in Africa.

And furthermore, when you ask about it you don't get any sort of specific answers, but just out of hand dismissive answers seemingly based on motivated reasoning without any explanation of why certain systems would work for animals A in country X, but not animals B in country Y.
But the CHIP uses an Allwinner CPU, and for those of us who like to support manufacturers that actually play nice with the open source community: the CHIP is a no-go.

The specific CPU in the CHIP appears to have mainline support, so it's less terrible than things like the "Banana Pi M2+" ( http://linux-sunxi.org/Sinovoip_Banana_Pi_M2%2B ), but I like to support CPU manufacturers who aren't Allwinner.
No - simply something that doesn't require specific hardware or a specific browser to run. Note that I'm not commenting on the lack of alternatives - just the current culture. It all feels very backwards.
I was diagnosed with blepharitis two years ago. Amusing (not really...) little story:

Usually, for me, it occurs in just one eye. I haven't had it for months, but I do religiously clean my eyes every day now. The last time it happened in both eyes, and I ended up on the floor holding my eyes in the most intense pain I've experienced in a while.

My partner took it upon herself to fry up some onions. She hadn't friend them for more than a year before. A minor screaming fit at her for being so incredibly stupid and ignorant for doing that (I couldn't even take my hands away from my eyes for a day after she did that) and I thought she'd never do it again.

23 hours.

She did it again, and claimed that it never occurred to her that it would hurt me again.
yes I have all sorts of beaglebone families, including pandaboard, there are so many SBCs to choose these days around $50-ish, and many of them have usb-based wifi onboard.

TI also was the first one to do mcu-wifi but it's so expensive it never got much market attraction, until ESP8266 came out which took the world by storm.

> Then the Raspberry Pi came out, and has a bigger community, higher performance, and lower price.

Lower price. And that's what drove almost everything.

The RPI very much does NOT have higher performance.

Simple things like "How fast can I toggle that pin?" can make you think so because the RPi's are "closer to the metal".
I had distrusted a bunch of others, too - it looks like the update flipped everything to be trusted again. Thanks for the heads up.

Well, it would have to come after we start. I think you're boxing strawmen in your head. In the rest of the world the debate between nature and nuture has been vigorously raging for decades and there isn't a "winner".
My alma mater has a great undergrad program, but an absolutely awful masters. I've been told that they don't have the resources to teach it, and that the college keeps sending recruiters throughout Asia to pick up as many foreign students as possible for the extra tuition money, though that might have just been a bitter professor.
I use Timebar, which is unfortunately no longer available through the Mac App Store. http://lifehacker.com/timebar-turns-your-macs-menubar-into-a...

It turns your entire top menu bar into a countdown bar which you can keep an eye on peripherally as you work.
Cats sailed with Vikings to conquer the world, genetic study reveals
Simple - it's no different than a seemingly good white American programming teacher pursing masters degree, yet screaming "JavaScript" is not a prog language in front of the whole class.

33% of all American, Asian, or Southeast Asian programmers suck (hard). Since China or India has 3 times the population of US. The absolute number turns out to be higher.

Don't act surprise. I could easily challenge you on a simple algorithm and mathematics problems, and see your American ass turn yellow. Get it.
Is This Virginia Police Department Blocking Dashcams?
I guess I don't understand what the big deal is with tail call optimization. Could someone give an example where it really shines and clojure's loop/recur just doesn't?

If you are looking to put time into a programming language that is interesting in and of itself, I'd suggest Haskell.
That's not really what I'm asking about, though. It just feels like those who truly need to use something like Signal are shooting themselves in the foot by requiring others to have a smart phone. This has affected my ability to communicate with two separate journalists, so I'm not just spouting just to spout..
While the motives are nice, there is no way I am willing to reward a company like the one who makes the beaglebone black that effectively scams its customers by charging such a huge amount relative to other products.
I'd say that in this case, providing job opportunities to diverse groups of people is part of the ROI (to a certain extent)
The amount of garbage you generate isn't a big reason to use functional in C++...
Why are gauges bad design? Or was it just that the screen was filled with gauges - too much information to be absorbed?

I design power plant control systems and part of that is an HMI using one of wonderware, citect, factory talk, etc.

In general where a number is primarily presented, on the screen where the controls are that will change that number, I try to use a gauge (mostly vertical bar gauges) to show the context for the number. The gauge shows what values are high and low by the scale and I put the low alarm, low trip, high alarm, high trip points on the gauge as yellow and red bands so the operator knows when the value is approaching one of those thresholds. If the alarm or trip is raised the bar colour changes to amber or red if it is alarm/trip so that when the alarm or trip appears in the sequence of event log and they go to the screen where they know what system is displayed it is immediately obvious which variables are over their limits and by how much.

I also usually put a line chart so the operator can see how the variables have changed with time.

I based much of the design on "Alarm Management for Process Control" by Rothenberg and "The High Performance HMI Handbook" by Hollifield and Habibi.

Edit: my vertical bar gauges look pretty similar to the bullet graphs linked by the parent. I generally call the circular car dashboard gauges "wiper gauges" because of the action of the needle I suppose

> I find DSLs to be extraordinarily powerful for writing and working with my own programs. I find them painful when I'm trying to work with other people's programs.

Maybe this isn't the case for you, but for me, "myself in a year" fits nicely in the "other people" category, so I'm always asking myself: will I be happy or sad about this if I stumble upon it again while doing something totally different a year from now?
Sounds great. Have they released all the hostages yet?
I'll just leave two of my old comments here... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10207199 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3423646

Short summary: I do think on HN it's reasonable to assume "Lisp" without further qualification to refer to the lisp family. The usefulness of the lisp family idea (which afaict is having sexps and maybe something like defmacro) is questionable. Among Lisp and lisp-family practitioners outside of HN and maybe even on HN itself (it'd be interesting to see a poll result) Lisp means Common Lisp, as it has basically since Common Lisp was created, and the distinction with other lisps usually made by saying things like "Clojure is a Lisp", that article "a" being important here to say x is a member of the y family and would be nice to have in the slide title.

I agree with your argument about common usage but I'm not sure what the common usage on HN really is and what's a vocal minority using it incorrectly until it becomes common. But we've already lost several wars like that, in the wider culture ('literally' for one..) and in tech (a recent one that bugs me being 'isomorphic' JavaScript) so it's probably best to sigh in resignation and maybe think/complain about the lisp/lisp family stuff once every few years at most. ;)
You are naive.

Who would be more likely to be compromised by last year's OPM database hack by the Chinese (supposedly) which contained info on most of the cleared government and contract workers in the US?

* A guy of European ancestry from Anywhere, USA who has no family, friends, or relations to China, and never stepped foot there.

* A naturalized US citizen from China whose friends, family, and associates still live there, and who often travels back for visits.

Even if the naturalized American - Chinese citizen was not corrupted himself, countries like China would not be above threatening his relatives still there.
I just set a 25 minute time and forgot about it. The gong sound terrified me.
Wire has launched in 2014 with emphasis on encrypted calls, it was only recently open sourced.

It also ticks many boxes, only it's not decentralised and the server ain't open source (yet).
