Yep, then spend 2 years in pain from the tendonitis and ligament damage. Those tissue have a lot less blood flow than muscle so they can't keep up with stupid fast growth. Good form to prevent injury takes practice too, years of it! But I suppose if you are taking steroids you might heal faster in the short term.

Or just gain a pound a month and talk to a therapist about your body dysmorphia. A therapist is way cheaper than a surgeon. You'll also learn a lot about the limits of your body and learn a sustainable way to build strength and muscle.

Well, alright, they're not - currently - advertised to. But they certainly are data mined (hence all the qualifications about "for advertising purposes").

Quite honestly any mandatory "account" (particularly in an educational setting) gives me the willies. A mandatory account with a private company, let alone the largest advertiser and data miner in the world - well, forgive me if that starts to feel like a corporate dystopia.

>I can go just about anywhere for a random mix of subject

You're not wrong that this is short-term easier to establish an audience, but your long-term goal is to get to a point where a hypothetical reader of your blog will say "Well, yeah, you could find that topic anywhere, but personally I'm more interested in $NAME's opinion on the topic".

The best way to establish that is put out really good content until you've built up enough blogger 'cred' that you can tell me about other parts of you and I'll just wanna know.
I really want to disagree with you, but I can't. I primarily use my iPad Pro for note-taking for school, and for carrying around all my textbooks electronically. It's really great for these applications.

Outside of school, I've done a little bit of artwork on it, and it's nice. But that's about it. My daughter draws prolifically, has a Surface and, after trying my iPad for awhile, decided she didn't want me to buy her one of her own.

For myself, the most useful device I can imagine is the MacBook Pro that, by the way, you can remove the screen and draw on it. But I don't want iOS and a cobbled on Bluetooth keyboard. And I'm not holding my breath.
Well, the ARM-1 is simple enough to understand [1], so the ARM Cortex might be comprehensible, depending on how much crazy stuff they added. But I suspect even at Intel nobody entirely understands the i7.

The same principal applies to states, and that's why they shipped the gold to USA to begin with...to save it from the Russians.

Gold is for when that stuff hits the fan: no one will take your paper money or if they do, you'll need 50lbs of trillion billion dollar bills to buy a loaf of bread. By noon the price will double.

If you're net liquid worth is well into millions, why not have a few hundred gold coins laying around? You might lose money (compared to the stock market returns) but so what. Peace of mind. Never know. All eggs in one basket and all.
From the guy that wrote PuTTY
Luckily we have you tell us the real truth.
I volunteer in an after-school supplemental program for kiddos in public housing. Three years ago we scared up a grant to buy four iPads to help the kids do their homework.

Then a local teacher intervened and said, no, no, no, get Chromebooks. We did. We got six for the same money. They're compatible with the local school IT systems. They reset themselves when somebody logs off, so we don't have to worry about what the kids install on them.

THEY HAVE KEYBOARDS! Kids can use them to for written-word assignments without futzing around with the onscreen keyboards.

They aren't quite as game-focused as the iPads. That means we get less squabbling over who gets to use them and for what. (I've taken to leaving my iPad at home because it's an attractive nuisance.)

They're cheap enough that it's not the end of the world if one gets damaged.

The chromebooks are a big win for us and the kids we serve.
I think that things have gotten a lot more relaxed, even within the time period that my kids have been in school. At first, formatting requirements for paper documents were simply applied to computer documents, and word processing was considered to be a preparation for college or the workforce.

I remember grumbling: "Why are they wasting their time learning skills that will be obsolete by the time they reach college?"

Even outside of school, word processing has gotten less important. The main "word processor" today is the e-mail program. Remaining uses for word processing include documents that nobody will ever read, and documents where there is a mandatory template, such as work instructions.

3D user interfaces
>"Yes, you can, but my question would be why would you want to? I don't know anyone personally who uses Office or Adobe for anything but work."

Perhaps not people you know, but a lot of us enjoy drawing for fun. For me, at least, Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator and a Wacom tablet is the best way to go if I want to do anything digital. Corel Painter is pretty good, too. Linux isn't a good option for any of these things.
on the article: I like to wrap up these sorts of treatments into my own simplified cultural causal models, if you will (hopefully my syntax is intuitive).

Invention of telegraph := ~immediacy of information, minimal context -> incredible boon for society! Essentially the beginning of modern technology, dare i say. The ability to CREATE networks as technology! ooo the power of (high bandwidth) networks!

Invention of Television := immediacy of visual information, lots more context, modern entertainment -> oh the theories abound for what this caused. I like to consider televisions pacifying effect on modern society. This subtle lie about what it claims to be: a window in a room. Oh but of course we know much of it is fictitious! But do we? All the more confusing with "reality TV" and, as discussed here, modern news-tainment.

Just some of my thoughts!

meta, on this comment section: I'm a little surprised this article is getting so easily dismissed. Its simply an attempted synthesis and application of media/normative/critical theorists' work. That is, this is philosophical at heart and I appreciate the author's attempt (it brings to mind David Foster Wallace's constant questioning of entertainment and the effect of entertainment's reflexivity). I think many hackernews readers (like myself) are scientifically minded and so this sort of thesis, i.e. not empirically verifiable, can lack the thrust that we want. But that said, I think it provides a valuable ontology for thinking about modern society and provokes some questions that actually may inform my behavior.

Much more difficult to parse out the noise with these types of articles, I grant you.

You should care! To wit, the Proprietary software you use is better for having to compete with Free software.

Free software's 'users are the customers' mindset competes with the 'users are the product' trope that proprietary software can get quagmired in.

Even if the Free software version is a smaller community, the mere fact that a user-centric alternative exists can help prevent this.

Telling the truth. If there's a doomsday scenario USA might refuse to hand you the gold. He's saying that gold not in your hand is not really gold, because when you might need it everyone else will and they have it.

Read the actual CNBC article, not the Vox summary.[1] Read what JP Morgan's analyst, James Baker, wrote. It's worse than the summary.

"We are troubled by AAL's wealth transfer of nearly $1 billion to its labor groups. In addition to raising fixed costs, American's agreement with its labor stakeholders establishes a worrying precedent, in our view, both for American and the industry. In our minds, this is a seminal event, and represents the first, credible potential blow to our long-held 'it's different this time' investment thesis."

The analyst cited how the new agreement raised flight attendant and pilot pay by 5 percent and 8 percent, respectively.

"Unfortunately the American move today has emboldened unions probably across the entire space. It's led them to believe you can come back mid-contract [and] ask for whatever you want. And that in turn makes that march toward higher multiples, not impossible, but a little bit more challenging."

I agree completely with trying out different cuisines and recipes. You'd have to be a very boring/close-minded person if you refuse to try new dishes. But that doesn't mean that you should force yourself to eat dishes that you've tried and disliked, just because it's "authentic". Or that you should stop eating something you enjoy just because it isn't "authentic".

Ironically enough, this very obsession with authenticity stunts the evolution, innovation and diversity of cuisines. As a foodie, I consider this to be the real tragedy.

To explain why I am so uncomfortable with "I can't use it for more than X" anecdotes:

My grandma couldn't do more than automatically playing DVD on her windows desktop.

My wife can't do more than opening and closing the door on any random semi-truck.

I can't do more than make horrible sounds on a violin.

All of these are only half of the story, and the receiver of the message is supposed to guess the other half perhaps ? But of course, which is the other half ? Is there a point to be made about any of these or is it just a random observation ?

Basically it brings more questions that it answers.
I don't think it's given that he's right or wrong. Apple has chosen a very different path (powerful devices with local apps) and they're also extremely successful.

The real lesson, I think, is that most people don't want to _manage_ devices. They don't want to deal with backups, they don't want to manage disks, filesystems and drivers, and if you can take all of that away they'll be happy to store all their documents in your cloud.

I'm sure that's true. However, I'd observe that interactive multimedia books aren't something that have become a big thing outside of schools either. People obviously consume multimedia but there doesn't seem to be a huge appetite for packaging them up as books in any systematic way.
Nice! Just curious, is the git repo all one needs in order to run text to speech on his PC? How accurate is this thing? Is there a demo somewhere perhaps?
I am in the Mac camp (as mentioned upthread), but I think there is a serious risk here for Apple. That $550 Acer has the same amount of memory and an as large SSD as my new 2016 MacBook Pro that is Euro 1699 new. Plus a dedicated graphics card. Of course, the MacBook will have a better quality, but the price gaps between MacBooks and similarly spec'ed laptops are getting quite large.

Currently, a Mac or not is not a question for me. I prefer macOS with such a wide margin over Windows and Linux (for the desktop) that I am willing to pay the premium. Moreover, macOS has many applications that I like and are not available on other platforms (OmniGraffle, OmniFocus, Alfred, Tweetbot, Pastebot, etc.). However, after trying WSL I for the first time had the feeling that Windows could become an alternative to consider.
Indeed, read up on Assata Shakur (I'm not even remotely qualified to discuss whether or not AS _was_ a political prisoner, but certainly such a controversy existed, and she's still living in Cuba)

Equally, from the bugging of Martin Luther King to the Committee on Unamerican Activities, it is inarguable that the government does sometimes take direct action against those whose views it regards as dangerous.
I haven't exactly done this exactly, but this smoothie on its own holds me over for easily 4 hours.

Last year I was doing a partial fast twice a week where I'd limit myself to 600 calories on those days. I'd have this smoothie mid-morning along with black coffee and water. In the evening, I'd have a large salad of 150 calories. (It's amazing how large a salad you can make on a budget of 150 calories if you get creative. For example, I'd use kimchi in place of salad dressing. Boy did my family hate me.) Anyway, I was definitely hungry by the evening, but I would estimate no more so than if I'd had it as a meal. One thing I didn't try was splitting the smoothie in two and consuming it as breakfast and lunch.
Is it really? By whom? I've been to Germany a lot and I've met quite a few people who hold similar, if less extremely formulated views.
> The only things touch does better is allow gestures

That's not true at all. There are plenty of Apps that work better with touch than using a mouse or touchpad. When you don't have a 9 Key, such as on a laptop, then touch becomes the preferred method of input for calculator apps or dialers. Media player applications work much better with touch than mouse. There are many apps that don't have keyboard shortcuts and custom UIs that are difficult to navigate with keyboard or mouse.

When using a laptop I use to naturally keep my left hand next to the keyboard with thumb on CTRL, index on TAB, and middle finger on ESC. After using a touchscreen laptop for 3+ years I now keep my hand rested next to the screen with for fingers behind the screen and my thumb hovering over it. I can use my thumb to flick the screen or slam the ESC key and change screens with a gesture.
how is it different from any other Nokia feature phone? i still don't get what's so special about this 3310 compared to other legendary cheap models of Nokia which they produced in recent years like 1100, except ripoff name
Now we're getting somewhere. Could it be extrapolated, then, that anything carrying that shiny veneer of salesmanship, is probably something you don't really need, a.k.a. bullshit? Certainly the mindset results in hanging onto more of your money, more often, and for longer.
Eventually, hyperinflation causes money to be measured in a logarithmic scale... And it's fun to imagine the value if a dollar falling below the plank length.
I figured out the shift-register circuit, but decided to write up the digital logic separately since the blog post was already very long. It's a 32-stage nonlinear feedback shift register. The sequence repeats after 56883 steps, which is a lot less than 2^32, so it seems to me they aren't making good use of the stages. The output takes a while to get going: it is high for 30 clocks and low for 31 locks before oscillating. I don't like to criticize, but it doesn't really look like a good design to me. The digital mixer is also pointlessly complex.

If your constraints are about more than one row (e.g uniqueness, non overlapping ranges, foreign keys) it's very hard to do so clientside in a concurrent setup - unless you're ok with very coarse locking.

> Looking back it always seems the past was so groundbreaking and exciting. In my late teens/early 20's I wished I could have lived through the 60's (this was in the late 80's- early 90's). Because that was such a truly great and groundbreaking time according to the books. Now I realize it was probably a general stifled societies with a bunch of copycat posers growing their hair out and saying silly things they thought were cool and taking LSD. I laugh my ass off whenever I see 90's idolizing millennials.

I could imagine that what you say (re: clueless copycats) holds true for the vast majority of those alive in a given decade. Yet I think some eras (they don't necessarily coincide with decades) were "10xer" when it comes to cultural enrichment. I'd subjectively describe the 60's/early 70's and the 90's/early 00's as "groundbreaking". The era we're in right now feels more like the 80's: somewhat numb and dystopic.

However, when I reflect on past decades I tend to use music as a proxy to evaluate them. This might be misleading since the primary medium through which people express themselves changes over time. The oh so great 90's, for instance, weren't groundbreaking when it comes to poetry. Similarly, today isn't groundbreaking when it comes to music. Music right now is probably more (incrementally) innovative than ever but we haven't witnessed a "big bang" like Techno or Hip Hop for quite some time. So I think you're right to point out the development of the Internet of the last 6-8 years. That's where it's at today. (Even though some good features of the late 90's web have died)

I have come to the same conclusion as tachyonbeam, it is interaction with the outside world that causes bitrot. Rather than have APIs, we need communication protocol with simple semantics. The VM should interact over a constrained, well defined protocol, that protocol could implement a POSIX io model, but that would be up to the client to offer that abstraction over messages.

The surface area of POSIX is too high to build systems that can run for 10s or hundreds of years. Look at the design of Lua over Python. The assumptions it makes of the underlying platform are much much cleaner, thus it is more portable and easier to debug platform issues.

City law doesn't override private property law in most cases. The companies, their assets, their lines, and their plans are all private in that sense. National and state law currently favor the ISP's bribing them. A city might try passing laws and might succeed but it's risking a fight with state and national levels. Those levels that control things like highway funding and where jobs are created with tax revenue.

I'd like to see more try just to see what happens. Meanwhile, there are cities whose energy companies are investing in bringing broadband to consumers. It's partly a result of ISP bribes to states to ban tax-funded Internet where some compromised allowing at least energy companies to do it. Most don't care but some do. In Tennessee near me, they did municipal broadband in 8 cities with Chattanooga doing a gigabit at $70/mo and 10Gbps at $300/mo.
