Anil Dash is like the Kim Kardashian of tech. I keep having to look him up to find out what he created (I'm still not sure).

I followed him on Twitter for a while because that was the thing to do, but after (I felt like) he kept loudly co-opting celebrity deaths to increase his profile, I started to wonder why he had any to begin with.

I'm not trying to be mean, but I guess that's the disconnect between makers and marketers (evangelists?). He could be great for incubating ideas.
Weather fluctuates, but climate is relatively stable. As long as you have some kind of storage and base-load supply, you can plan yearly wind-power usage based more around climate than weather, at least to my understanding.

I found Retrofit [1] here on HN and with their help I went from 258lb to 224lb from March to June this year. The next 20lbs are proving to be more difficult, but I've been pleased with their approach and the results.

These are useful open-source tools, many of which are well-written, well-tested, and well-documented. The title does not do them justice.
"It just works" isnt that accurate. Personally speaking, I recently upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04 ubuntu on my desktop only to have it stuck in some strange errors. 16.04 network manager is also quite a nuisance. On some networks it only provides a few http calls and drops everything else.

I still exclusively use linux os on all my computers because I am do ised to it now. Perhaps just ubuntu is poor quality nowadays (at least with 16.04) but linux desktop still has some ways to go

My understanding is this is for those situations where parents say "call when you get there".

As a kid, I always meant to but often forgot.

Fwiw, most of the time in hs my parents knew more or less where I was but not specifically what I was doing. That seems reasonable to me.
I find migraines like that to be quite fun (at least from the second time, after I spoke to a doctor and learned that there was no permenant damage). In my case I totally lose my short-term memory :D

The weird thing is that after the migraine is over I can actually remember most of what happened during it, so somehow things are still finding their way into my long term memory - though it's mostly just conversations like "hey, I'm having a migraine, I'm going to lie down for a few minutes, because I'm having a migraine, it's affecting my memory, so I'm going to lie down, I think this migraine is affecting my memory" "ok dude, take a break" "woah, how did you know I need a break? I was just thinking that I should take a break, because I'm having a migraine, and it's probably affecting my memory. Did you know I get migraines that affect my memory? I should probably go lie down"...
I remember being new to Information Technology in 1998 when Windows 95 & 98 were the norm. I had more than one client who would take delivery of 10 - 12 new, identical workstations and it was very common to have half with one problem and half without.

I'm not familiar with the concepts in this article. Would this explain the sort of issues I had?

Among the open source router options, what's the best for multi-WAN and flexible QoS?

I was looking at switching from ASUS on Merlin to Tomato for better QoS and to try out multi-WAN that was added in shibby about a year ago. I really want the internet to be reliable and fail over to a 2nd connection and then back fairly seamlessly.

Am I better off using pfSense (or something else) vs trying one of these integrated router/wireless firmwares?

Years ago I started looking for multi-WAN and got the very disappointing Linksys / Cisco RV042. It worked, but the interface was crap and it lacked a lot of the features that even consumer routers had. For an office of up to 50 people (and 2x devices) we've been using an ASUS RT-AC66R on Merlin and it's worked pretty well in that it's rock solid stable for many months at a time, has a bit of features - now including nice graphs for per-host bandwidth monitoring, and basic QoS and multi-WAN. The biggest issue is that QoS options are limited and it's hard to know if it's even working properly. The multi-WAN auto failover seems buggy and that seems like an area that Merlin hasn't touched.

Google retired it in July of 2013 and made it a part of Google+.
Tower Records was so wrapped up in selling physical goods (CDs and earlier, LPs) that they were totally blindsided by the rapid change in listener preferences. They didn't react quickly enough, soon enough, as sales fell off a cliff thinking it a temporary correction instead of a fundamental change.

So the lesson is that once a company has "made it" they should diversify so that they aren't dependent on a single income stream.

You should totally watch the film, btw. I used to shop at the Watt Avenue store in Sacramento, and the breadth of titles they carried was amazing. Easily five times the product that a store like Sam Goody would carry, and in niches you'd never see anywhere else. If there were such a thing as Celtic Rap, Tower Records would have carried it.

this has much more to do with the locked in rate utilities/the state demands when Distributed Generation (like wind and solar) are feeding into the grid. 'wind energy prices' is vague - not sure if it is getting at the relatively low fluctuating cost of standing up a turbine, OR the flat rate wind suppliers are paid for generation (like google)
Lavabit didn't do E2E or at least stored the user's keys; since the owner did in fact have the keys needed to unencrypt the Snowden e-mails (and sent them to the FBI in paper using infinitely small character size, apparently).
Keybase has clearly moved away from PGP. They want to use Saltpack whenever possible, NaCl based encryption. They want to solve the problem of multiple devices and not having to share the private key between all of them.

As far as I know they are working on a messaging app as well.

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. I meant that for pretty much all current e-paper devices you aren't able to get access to run your own code unless you find a security hole that you can exploit to gain access.

And sorry about the strawman, it wasn't intended that way. I think the rest of the comment before that answers your original question.

Hi patates. I get your point. As a user, I'd want that too. I had previously priced the professional license at $149 as a one-off price, but then noticed companies were buying those instead of the enterprise ones, and getting unlimited licenses. I'd definitely like to keep the subscription model for enterprise licenses, but would not mind having the private ones be a one-off price. I'll have to think about that. If I do that at some point, I'll change the existing licenses to permanent, to not be a jerk to existing customers:)

Assume the environment you're writing scripts for. Most scripts need only be run on one machine, and thus one platform. Most that don't still run only on one platform. If you need a portable shell script, by all means write one, but that's rarely the case.
willpower pill is literally what a personal trainer is
I never went a coding bootcamp but I work for an employer who has hired a few people from one in the Minneapolis area. In my opinion, they seem quite capable as programmers even if they have no formal education. I think a formal education is fine if you can afford it but honestly, how many jobs really need a full four year degree as a requirement? I think degrees as a gatekeeping mechanism are being abused especially in entry level programming positions which I genuinely believe can be done by anyone who's literate and curious (I even think a HS diploma can be considered optional if they can read, write, and do arithmetic reasonably).
I never made that argument.

I made the argument that nearly every single one of this guy's videos are not the least bit helpful in actually learning how machine learning works, and gets viewed based on click-baity title and click-bait thumbnails (attractive girls a lot of the time). Which i will stand by. Every one of them is "how to write an AI that ___" when its importing tensorflow, setting 2-3 hyper parameters then letting it run.

Note Google in some cases does sell electricity generated from their wind/solar investments to the locals and new FERC order allows anyone who has DG to sell into wholesale markets. Sometimes their investment is near a data center so it hits the same local feeder, othertimes they say 'we can't do DG near the data center, so lets do it somewhere else that offsets the data center demand'. This is where the renewable energy credits come in and make the long term strategy worthwhile
This is exactly what happens. The strange thing is I can still do math perfectly, just not read text. I have this little "proof of work" thing I do (usually to figure out how drunk I am!) where I derive Kirchhoff's laws from Faraday's law (a hold-over from my EE degree). I can do this just fine but I can't read beyond sounding out words like a 1st grader and even when I do that, I can't tell you what the sentence meant when I'm finished. Odder still, I can write text and then can't read what I just wrote!

The longest its ever lasted was about 1.5 hours. Usually about the time the freight-train of pain arrives, everything goes back to normal. Of course then I'm in no mood to read anything anyway.
I don't know, with unlimited Uber rides I could start a long distance delivery company:

Want to take a taxi from Manchester to London because you hate the train or want to arrive overnight? Fantastic, that'll be £50, even cheaper than taking the train and you don't have to take a taxi from the train station.

Need to same-day-deliver 50 tons of Plywood? Fantastic, I'll order 50 ubers and we'll move it a hundred KG per taxi and have it done by the end of the day, how does £250 sound? Cheap enough?

The power of the word "unlimited" is almost magical. Of course, Uber would go out of business pretty quickly so £1,000 / month wouldn't get them very far, but to me, it doesn't sound too overpriced. I just hope there's no fine-print.

I'm using Arch with the i3 window manager for the last 8 months. I've run pacman -Syu (equivalent of apt-get dist-upgrade) probably once a day that entire time. I've had exactly zero problems. It is amazingly smooth.

The setup was a mild chore and yes the laptop is UEFI and I am dual booting. But I can't remember the last time I used Windows, though I do remember it seemed insanely slow.

I often find myself doing something in the Terminal thinking: "This is objectively easier than filling in an online form". And when I see teenagers and geriatrics behind the counter at Dunnes Stores (Irish thing) using Terminal based stock control with flying fingers, I do think we've chosen a strange path. Then I shake my head and move along.

Depends on which sector of the industry you're working in. I've participated in the hiring process (technical interviewer) for several candidates from bootcamps.

What they clearly lack in expertise (which can be learnt) they more than make up for in intangible qualities of character- self-driven, hungry to learn, motivated not only to do well, but to do better each time. Many come from backgrounds that are also useful, but not commonly found in degreed programs, such as former project managers, academic researchers, etc.

If you can afford the time and effort required to have a green developer on your team, they can be some of the best hires you'll ever get.

With regard to your specific call out of 3 months, the one I'm familiar with had something like 50-60 hour weeks. Most people were learning non-stop, focused primarily on easy-access web tech such as html, css, front-end and server-side JS, and mongodb. However, many of them also dabbled in a variety of other languages on their own time, such as python, c, java, as well as graph and SQL databases. They graduate coding bootcamps with more ready for web development than many learn at more degreed programs.

It's entirely possible that that level of expertise simply isn't enough where you work, and that's totally fine. But don't imagine that there isn't a place for these people within the industry.

(For reference, I've been in the industry myself for 7 years, and have never personally attended a bootcamp)
So unless we feel motivated to construct a 'better' smart mirror, we're not able to point out that we think the very idea is silly? I mean, I appreciate the effort, and it's really a cool build, but rather pointless in the end. Is that not a valid point of discussion?

The most successful solution I found was Carb Nite. I dropped 30 lbs in 3 months and kept 20 off permanently.

Ferris' 4-Hour Body Slow Carb diet seems to be v2.0 of that diet.

I still want to lose another 20 and that's been tough. I just hired a nutritionist and the key seems to be a balanced diet - eating (almost) all food groups with each meal. My body has been in shock because of how different my food is from meal to meal.

Honestly, find someone fit, ideally someone who does some kind of competitive athletic, who uses the trainer and recommends them.

Personal trainers can be excellent, but the low end is "dangerously incompetent". The only requirement for starting a service, or getting hired at many gyms, is being buff and knowing how to look competent on some machines. As a result, there are plenty of PTs peddling junk-science nutrition, or giving out plausible-but-harmful workout routines that undervalue stretching or produce dangerous imbalances and overextensions.

Assuming you don't need someone teaching you how to be healthy, though, things get easier. Some trainers focus on education and drop unmotivated clients, but some offer "willpower pill" as a decent chunk of what you're paying for. Knowing that someone expects you at the gym at 7PM, and will pump you up to not bail early, can do a lot of good.
Thanks, I've heard that dubious quote before, but still have no doubt elders have always complained about "kids these days" for as long as there have been kids and a way to complain about them.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I'm aware of the link that physical punishment has on development, but what I wanted to know is if "kids these days", regardless of cause, are actually less capable/more entitled/etc. If there's even a way to measure such abstract claims.

In my own personal experience I would initially say yes, but I think this is where it is deceiving. For example, when I was in school I did my work and turned it in and didn't notice people who whined about their grades despite not doing any work. Now I am older and from talking with teacher friends, they constantly complain about students who act so entitled.

I think to myself, I don't remember anything like that. But those students could have existed, how would I have known at the time? Even if I didn't have my rose-tinted time-machine glasses on?

Anyway, this is all pretty obvious, just rambling.
