This is a persistent misconception about running. You absolutely must invest the time to learn proper form (or more accurately, unlearn negative habits, because children naturally know how to run), but as an activity it is not inherently dangerous for your joints or knees.

I invite you to read literature on the subject:

1. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2556152/?tool=p...

2. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2743580/

3. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/16932832/

Note: I am not a doctor, and the literature becomes mixed as you study runners with higher and higher mileage per week. The point is that someone with a healthy weight should not be damaging their joints merely by repeatedly running - proper running involves allowing your feet to fall below you, not ahead of you, where the calves and quads can properly absorb the impact and use the "bounce" from the ground impact to propel forward efficiently. Doing something other than this, like landing on your heel in front of your body, forces your knees to absorb the impact.

If you're running 60, 70 or 80 miles per week there may be degenerative effects on joint health, but if we're speaking realistically that is unlikely to happen for someone just looking to get into shape unless they're a few years in and training for something. I run 30 miles per week and have no plans to significantly increase my mileage - my health and fitness goals are rather more "intense" than most people I know and it takes up a lot of my time (looking at about an hour of running workout per day).

If someone wanted to gain the benefits from jogging, jogging to the store or even commuting by running five days a week would be far, far lower than what appears to be the lower bound on introducing joint degeneration.

I'm going to echo the grandparent comment: if you're not already moving and have a favorite exercise (cycling, swimming), I urge you to consider running. Running every day quite literally changed my life. Dieting is a close second. My mood significantly improved, my sleep improved, every physical activity felt better, etc. After a month of consistent running you even miss it when you don't do it.

To relate this to Hacker News even more...

We are constantly told that we should risk our financial freedom to start a company. Go without pay take massive credit card debt to fund our company, etc. and we glorify people who have done that successfully and write off people who failed.

Or worse, told to go without pay / deferred pay / less pay to work at someone else's company with less than 5% equity. Often less than 0.5%

When someone tells me they felt a $4000+ booth at a conference was so critical to their company that they maxed out their personal cards I cringe.

What this survey doesn't seem to have is how many of those people have negative savings (aka, debt).

Also, it is unclear to me if homeowner equity is in the mix. Where I am the average house is $250k. In my neighborhood that is $400k. If I pay my mortgage diligently for the next 25 years and do basic upkeep (new roof, new furnace, etc) I will be in the $300k+ bracket too.

I know for a huge number of people home ownership isn't an option but I'd point out it could very well explain why a large portion of people sit at $300k+.
I know everybody gets old but this idea of "saving for retirement" rather be limber and free than old and free. I realize it would also suck flipping burgers at 70.

The Seven Properties of Highly Secure Devices [pdf]
Here's a new library to solve a problem you don't have yet.
That's funny, because while you can't patent code, you certainly can patent ideas (such as the general principles behind graphql).

Let's assume Facebook has patents on the ideas behind GraphQL. I don't know whether they do (and in all honesty I can't be bothered to find out, because patents are written by misanthropes).

This means that if you use GraphQL but not any Facebook-provided source, they don't promise to not use these against you. They could sue you into oblivion any time, for any reason. But if you do use Facebook code, then you got a patent grant, so you're good. Until you sue Facebook for infringing on your own patents of course - in that case, you're back to the situation where you used non-Facebook GraphQL implementations. 1)

That said, I think this is all void in reality, given that very little about the ideas behind GraphQL is new (eg check out Microsoft's OData - nearly the same thing except done by people who tuck their shirts into their jeans instead of people with hoodies and hairdos). You'd probably be able to prove prior art.

1) The same thing holds about React btw. I'm pretty convinced that any patent that could cover React also covers Preact and Inferno. If they have such a patent, they can use it against you any time. Except if you use React! In that case, you got a patent grant and they can only use it against you once you sue them first. So if you're worried about patents and think Facebook might grow a patent troll department (hey, who knows), using React is safer than Preact or any other pretty-close React clone.

As a general principal, I would disagree with the position that it's not valid. Certainly some people who quit smoking late in life prolong a painful cancerous demise, however I would imaging the worst of the low-quality disabled years are often a result of the limited, desperate nature of the available potential life-saving treatments: radiation/chemotherapy, etc. A significant percentage of smokers quit late in life and avoid those extremely low-quality disabled life years. Also, it seems perspective typically changes as 'quality of life' decreases, generally resulting in the desire for continued respiration;-)
Yes, but it doesn't exactly have 'conventional' shortcuts either, right? It's a little more heavyweight over Vim as well. So in the light-but-powerful editor universe, I think Vim just pips it to the post. Which is why I use it, albeit with 'normal' shortcuts.

I really feel I described why I think that pretty well.

If you are more productive doing things another way, that's fantastic! I use IDEA when i'm working in Java code, I use Atom when i'm working with web stuff, I use tail/grep when searching through log files, I use CLI tools as much as possible for everything else as they integrate with things like editors and IDE's very easily.

Everything is a tradeoff, and nothing is perfect. Atom enables me to be a better dev in some areas, and is frustratingly awful in others. But I do genuinely love the editor. I'm glad someone has finally made the tradeoffs that I prefer in an editor, as for me reducing memory usage by a few hundred MB will make literally 0 difference in my life, but adding the ability to click a spot in the embedded browser window and have it take me to the code that defines that component is a nice productivity boost.

Tegmark & Lin's discussion of how deep learning maps onto the physical world: Why does deep and cheap learning work so well? [1][2]

The work of Aerts et al. more than 10 years ago, including how vector space models of human categorization show QM structure [3].

Lucien Hardy's exquisite teasing out of the difference between classical and quantum probability: Quantum Theory From Five Reasonable Axioms [4]

It turns out that the innovation, power and strangeness of QM is related to separating physical processes into:

1. Linear continuous unitary reversible evolution relying on complex amplitudes (wavefunction propagation).

2. Non-linear discontinuous irreversible 'collapse' or 'measurement' or 'entanglement' or 'correlated branching', with probabilities based on the Born Rule (real values from the square of wave function amplitudes).

Neural nets also decompose a problem into successive alternating layers of reversible continuous functions and discrete irreversible categorical decisions (e.g. softmax/sigmoid logistic classifiers).

An even more obscure tangent is that most of the financial market is now constructed from 'options', which track continuous values with a continuous payoff, but offer a choice of execution to collapse the option and create a real financial result, e.g. see N.N.Taleb's dicussion of optionality [5].

> I prefer to have the choice of multiple plugins each with their own tradeoffs

Just curios, do you know any languages besides Javascript for which this "freedom of plugins to do anything easily" resulted in any better editing experiences with Atom than with alternatives?

I'm pretty content with VSCode plugins for Python (including those for Jupyter integration and others from scientific computing area) and Go for example. Only real improvement that would actually help me would be truly intelligent (well, more like "not retarded" actually and "don't crash when trying to refactor" but anyhow...) refactoring capabilities for dynamic languages (like JetBrains IDEs have), but having the editor based on a browser + unlimited freedom of plugins to do anything with the UI wouldn't really help for such a feature, that would be implemented in a separate process anyway and could work fine even as a Vim plugin (well, Neovim, since it fixed the interprocess com and async limitations of Vim or so I've heard...).

How do I get autocompletion, linting, gitgutter, and so on in Nano? Emacs is another great editor for sure, but slightly heavier weight than Vim, so I've just invested in that.

* It was high temperatures that were the achilles heel for early Leaf's so watch out if you live somewhere like Pheonix or if you suspect the car came from somewhere similar

* make sure to check out all the various rebates available for new leafs (from state, federal and utility companies, and group buy offers) to make a fair comparison with a used model.

I still can't for the life of me see why Electron was ever a good idea for apps like Atom. It's not like they haven't had to lean on native solutions before - they've already rewritten their JS based buffer in C++.

Is it really that hard to find people who can write native UIs these days?
Well, it moves the "click-bait titles" to "click-bait images"...
To add to the other links: we built this to primarily help make Ionic faster, and we target mobile and web. So, it has to work everywhere we run. Some browsers require polyfills but still have improved performance making it worth it. Others, like iOS safari which is a major target for us, support it natively in 2017. The trend is more and more native support.
In that case I suspect mr. Madsen will have ample opportunity to waste the time of more people.

Hell, you're experimenting so why not even a carousel of all the images in the article? (moving on mouse hover ideally)

Also the title should not be secondary, below the thumbnail. Maybe it should be over the image in some way?

Yes, that is the bit that I object to. She is most likely dead because something Madsen did or tried to do to her before she got done in entirely, and it has nothing to do with the last story she worked on. So forget about bringing the Mafia, the Russians and Cartels into it.

JetBrains tools are the gold standard for Java, and I use them as well when i'm in that world. But for Python, JS, go, and a handful of smaller langs Atom is treating me well.

And while it's true that the browser-based nature of Atom won't help with refactoring tools, they do allow you to easily integrate any CLI tools with it (or I should say, they make it easy for ME to do!).

I'm not trying to claim Atom is the best in every way, but if you are in it's target demographic, it's a good experience. I'm more than positive that many people have better setups using other toolsets, and i'm sure there are many people who are worse-off for using Atom at all. But for me, it's a great tool that enables me to do things faster than I could before I used it.
Sure - there will always be an overhead for window compositing, etc.

But the point of the article is the bloat as you open larger files, which gets much larger when you use a DOM to do syntax highlighting.
