It is not fashionable today, but the cardio machines at the gym are good for people who have reasons they don't want to run.

3-4 days a week now I do about an hour of cardio split between the arc trainer and the elliptical. I think the psychological and pain relief benefits of exercise really kick in around the equivalent of 45 minutes of running.

I think most people don't find cardio is effective for weight loss unless they are doing more like two hours a day. The main thing you have to watch is diet. You can put 1000 cal into your face in a few minutes, but you have to work hard for an hour to burn that many calories.

Worth noting is "kak" is one of the (many) words in Dutch for "poo".

I dabble in vim and it's my editor for when I quickly want to change stuff whilst in a terminal, but not enough to be "proficient" in it. As others have noted, I feel there could be a massive gain in editing if I were to get more acquainted with the many vi commands, but the initial productivity penalty has stopped me more than once from making it my default editor. Kakoune's mental model of commands seems friendlier, so maybe it will stick :)

I've updated the gallery with some more pictures. On the whole... my opinion stands. The tool stinks.

But really it's setting out to do something stupid. Dogs are just dogs, this concept of breed... it's not a great way to identify them.

We took some wolves, bred them down to get gentle and obedient pets... then started getting silly about wanting dogs that were tiny or dogs that were big or dogs with brown spots... and really that's all the "breeds" are is us saying, "That's a dog with a red nose and pointy ears."

But once that dog has puppies with another dog, say one with brown nose and floppy ears, the puppies are anyone's guess. They're back to just being domesticated wolves again -- mutts.

My "Cattle Dog" is way too small, she's mixed with something else. She's only 30 pounds... The DNA test said that my "Pointer" was "Pit Bull" and "Grey Hound" -- which, if you accept "Pit Bull" as a breed, is roughly what "Pointers" were made from -- and the tool sort of got some of the traits right.

If the machine is running linux, try looking into automating the "certbot renew" command.

I have achieved this with an crontab on my servers that run on a day to day basis. This should automatically renew your certificates if they are close to expiry.
>there are laws that strictly prohibit

Of course Uber was built on ignoring laws. So there's no reason to believe they'd follow the restrictions even if they were subject to them.
Panini claim they didn't have rare stickers, and that all stickers were randomly distributed.

People buying the sticker packs have no way to work out the probability of getting the sticker they want, nor of working out how many packs they should expect to buy to complete the collection.

Things like The Coupon Collector's Problem are out of reach mathematically for most people.

The way Lego sells minifigs is really unpleasant. For 16 different figures you expect to buy 55 different packs.

What you get from text + availability of source code = a set of practical documentation that shipped right where you needed it.

Microsoft forgot (and still forget) the documentation for Windows - if you want a nice A-Z reference for the bootloader, or kernel, or shell or IIS's configuration file or half the command-line tools, you're usually out of luck. The official place is often an inaccessible, badly-written knowledgebase article written from a task-based, usually GUI-based perspective.

It never mattered that they'd implemented a more coherent system full of better ideas, because the only way they'd tell you about it is through the GUI.

The MSDN CDs from 20 years ago were really good for a complete programmer's reference, but 1) I'm not sure how well they kept that up and 2) I could never find anything as comprehensive for sysadmins.

If you are wondering why Kakoune and not Vim, the OP claims...

(you find following passages later in his post and they don't reflect my opinion)

> A design goal of Kakoune is to beat vim at its own game, while providing a cleaner editing model.

> Kakoune manages to beat Vim at the keystroke count game in most cases, using much more idiomatic commands.

> Kakoune provides an efficient code editing environment, both very predictible, hence scriptable, and very interactive. Its learning curve is considerably easier than Vim thanks to a more consistent design associated with strong discoverability, while still being faster (as in less keystrokes) in most use cases.
Like many here, Perkbox (London) is less looking at skills, and more looking for experience in:

- scalable architecture with legacy systems

- tech strategies to enable engineers & product to create success

- broad knowledge of useful serverside languages & technologies

- bringing a multi-platform SAAS to multiple regions

- processes and tech to ensure quality of output

- AWS dev ops

But for the sake of the OP, skills would likely be a nebula of PHP, Go, SQL, node, react, Webdriver, kubernetes and tech related to application infrastructure (Kong, Message queues etc). There are other nascent products which may demand other technologies - a years a long time :)

If any of this catches your eye hit me up for a chat ashleyc@perkbox.co.uk
what separates stuff like Game of War and Farmville from your average AAA game with purchases for packs of things like skins

Personally I see two potential criteria of separation.

1) to what extent does paying money increase my chance of 'winning'

2) To what extent does not paying money make the game less fun.

As long as I can have fun with just the base game and have a reasonable chance of 'winning' then I'm not too bothered. But once they start to make the base game more boring or unreasonably hard to 'force' people to upgrade then it starts to become an issue.
>Very few tech fields emulate an assembly line and the ability to think for yourself and develop an alternative solution is and should be highly valued

A lot of management hates this. Less skilled managers, just want a dev shop where they can build and assemble parts.
That would be me. I thought it would be a cool thing to have - previews of a website before you visit it - so I built it. It does not make money but its monthly cost is minimal at the moment.

It is too early to discuss "the agenda" behind it because there is none. If it catches on and becomes popular enough, I have a few ideas on how to make it sustainable without sacrificing any of the privacy features.

The issue mentioned in that post - the fact that this query generates 6 sql queries instead of 2

{allPosts(first:5){title}}

is a limitation of the implementation and not inherent to the architecture. We spent a lot of time optimising these cases for graph.cool and the result is that we actually have a more scalable system by issuing a few simple sql queries instead of one giant join. It does open the door for the result to be internally inconsistent, but that is no different from querying a bunch of cached rest endpoints.

Relying on Uber for your livelihood is really dumb. It's a part-time hobby job. (I drive for Uber part-time).
Look, psychology just went through a replication crisis where more than 50% of findings could not be reproduced. All science is not equally valid, so it doesn't make sense to take social science results as seriously as say physics because one is a lot easier to study objectively.

Given that, you could call exercising or mindfulness or (new technique) unproven. I say, if it obviously doesn't cause any harm, and it might help why not try it. "Throwing epistemology to the wind" here has no negative consequence. You can't draw a scientific conclusion about whether X is beneficial sure, but you can sure as hell try it and see if it helps you. Thats what I'm advocating for. Taking some control over your own treatment.

Even the point you brought up about mindfulness being shown to be helpful in some circumstances - that does NOT mean any old meditation is unhelpful. In fact, given no other knowledge than that "X type of mindfulness practiced in Y way was Z% helpful" from a paper, wouldn't you be more inclined to believe that something similar to mindfulness would have similar beneficial effects rather than the inverse that its not helpful? Thats my point - we don't have to stick so rigidly to what is "proven" to be true (especially when the field went through a crisis where half of that so called "proven" stuff wasn't so true..)
wow, I've had experience in using Mesos & Docker in prod (running a 200 node cluster).

And that's in countries with relatively reasonable hiring practices, like the US.

In Spain it's even worse: for positions at universities there are so-called "objective" scales of assessment, so that a paper scores a number of points depending on the position of the journal it's published in in the ISI JCR journal ranking. Points are added and the top scoring candidate wins.

For hiring postdocs in projects, the PI typically has some more leeway to set the assessment scales, but not too much. As a PI who is hiring right now, I can use an interview or personal assessment of candidates' work to tip the scales a bit (at my place up to 15% of the grade or so, little more than a tiebreaker) but if I get a candidate with significantly more JCR-indexed papers than another, I basically have to hire them even if I think their track record is worse (which is often the case as one can get lots of "points" by submitting tons of very similar papers on an easy-to-publish area). Because doing otherwise is, you know, not "objective".

So here, basically, if you publish in a discipline where JCR-indexed journals are dominated by the likes of Elsevier, you absolutely need to publish there or not get hired, period. When people in my field from more fortunate countries say things like "let's just ditch the journals and publish everything in arXiv", I would agree with them in an ideal world, but in my world they would push my whole country out of the field...

Don't buy the LRs (Long Range versions for those not familiar with the Ubnt naming) unless plan on a low density+large+wide open space (e.g. an auditorium where only staff have wifi access).

The trick to GREAT wifi coverage is to turn the power down on each access point as low as you can, and have as many APs as you can. Wifi is a two way street, e.g. even if your AP can blast a signal through 5x 10ft thick walls, it won't matter in the slightest, since your phone or laptop etc won't be able to do the same.

In fact - that's a lie :) It will matter, it will hurt the end user experience. The phone etc will see a "strong" signal, select it, but outbound packet loss will be terrible.
That's assuming you're good at spotting competent engineers. Everything I've seen both in this thread and elsewhere tells me companies are horrible at determining engineering competence.

Law of Triviality
One problems I've found with these style of apps are the elderly community.

My wife works at "In-Home healthcare" for the elderly community, specializing in hospice care. Because of this, she sees a lot of family members who get their parents tablets. It can be an iPad, or Android tablet. And it's used to facilitate cheap/free communication. (Don't worry, anything with app stores + in app payments are at fault, not $your_ecosystem.)

The dark side, is when they start venturing around looking for "games". Now, think of what a game was 20 and 30 years ago. We're talking arcade, Nintendo, Atari.. That sort of thing. The psychological skinner-box wasn't really created as of yet (it was, but only in arcades, and even the bad ones people stayed away from).

And then you have the "Freemium Apps". AKA money-bilking skinner boxes. Now, what makes these insidious, is the fact they ask for your credit card once, and keep it on file. Now, buying "virtual trash" is as easy as click click done. And conveniently drains your card.

And it's done so well that you think you're doing with fake play money - when it's really your real account.

My wife's already had a few clients got bit by this. It was a few thousand dollars, but enough to cause serious problems with someone who is on a fixed budget. Fortunately, the bank reversed much of it as fraudulent billing. Some of it was outside of dispute period, and was lost.
I was already imagining Google would be much more interested in dominating the algorithmic and software aspect of it than competing with their own car, since self-driving software will probably be winner-take-all, it's of course much better to license the tech for every other carmaker... I'd guess the car was just a 'vehicle' for the R&D all along.
This is ridiculous.

The amount of 'space' taken up by residential dwellings is very small.

Australia is massive and empty, and it always will be.

If you want to live in bigger home, move to Canada, Texas or Australia where the geographic reality is very different.

Or frankly - anywhere in East Germany outside of the city and you'll find yourself with equally ample, and cheap space.

This is a profoundly alien mindset to me. Which is not to say that it's wrong, or bad, just very different from how I think. Before spending money, in addition to "Can I afford this?" I also ask myself, "Is this worth it?"

I could afford to spend, say, $2k/yr on my skiing hobby. It wouldn't be that hard to do: modern equipment, frequent trips to expensive mountains, things of that nature add up in a hurry. I'd probably enjoy it more that way, and I'd certainly get to do it more often.

Instead, I use a decade-old pair of skis that I received as a gift, with a third-hand pair of boots that's literally from the 1980s, and warm outerwear that probably cost a total of $300 in various outlet stores over the past eight years. I go 2-3 weekends a year, to relatively inexpensive mountains, and my amortized annual expenditure comes in at under $500 (including a reasonable price estimate and amortization schedule for the skis). Why? The marginal benefit just isn't worth it.

Now, obviously, "worth it" is subjective. Buying a new pair of ski boots for the coming season won't directly impact my retirement or anything like that. Indeed, there isn't a single concrete thing that it would trade off against. When I break it down, though, I decide the work I did for that money is worth more than my benefit from the new boots. In that case, better to hold onto the money in case a better opportunity comes along.

So what? Is desktop computing all that matters? Networking, scientific computing, mobile telephone, don't they matter?

Unix was never meant for looking magic to clueless users; it was meant for programmers, i.e. for people who use the computer and not just some programs written by other people. And, in its realm, it has been brilliant! Not perfect, but very good!

The jargon buzzword is "bio-psycho-social".

Mild to moderate depression may respond to anti-depressants, may respond to an evidence based talking therapy, may respond to something like a gardening group activity, may respond to debt planning and financial advice.

Treatment plans for depression should not focus on a single aspect of the bio-psycho-social stuff, but should try to address all of it.
The "board" part of Weiser's original "pads, tabs, and boards" vision [0] always made logical sense, but for some reason never realized itself. I'm a bigger fan of the tabletop form factor myself (see for example the original "surface"). It'll be interesting to see how this grows.

There's no slippery slope. The difference is easy to distinguish.

Is real money a substitute for skill at whatever decisions the game asks you to make? If so, you're being scammed.

Content expansions in AAA games are obviously not substitutes for skill.

Nor are cosmetic customization options like skins or accessories.

Cards in virtual card games like Hearthstone get a bit more interesting to analyze. There are better and worse decks, and it takes the right cards to build better decks. Spending money is a much faster way to get the right cards than doing daily quests. But there are two factors that keep Hearthstone out of scam territory. First, someone can get any card they want without spending money, and if they're really good in drafts, they can even do it relatively quickly. So, the more skill you have, the less spending money helps you. Second, there's a maximum that spending money can help you. Once you have the decks you want, whether you win or not comes down to skill (and some luck) in the exact same way as everyone else. You get no advantages over someone who built the deck they want without spending money.

So yeah, there's a simple framework to apply to make these decisions. Where's the slippery slope?

It seems like it's no big deal depending on where you live.

I could move a few hours away and get a 3-story 500sq meter house for about as much as it would cost me to own my condo where I do live.

It's all about location, and in places like australia or america where there is space galore in some places, it's not unsurprising that people build bigger (especially when it doesn't really cost all that much more comparatively)
Really surprised by the specs and cost of this thing compared to what's out there. Might be the reason Google is making their Jamboard.
GraphQL was designed to solve facebooks issue - efficiently fetch data for an entire view. In addition to this it provides structure that makes it easier for large dev teams to collaborate. If your app is similar to facebook from a technical perspective just jump right in. If you are very different, definitely do some more exploration first. For example I spoke to a dev on the facebook ad analytics team and he complained that he couldn't find a good way to fit their queries into the GraphQL paradigm. Their queries are much more dynamic than most consumer/business apps and includes advanced aggregations etc.
