>and I don’t think I’ve ever had a pair that are really comfortable for computer work.

Yes, if your using desktop monitor is 2 or 3 feet away, that's an intermediate distance and neither reading glasses nor driving glasses will provide the optimal sharpness. If your "computer work" is a laptop monitor, a prescription for reading glasses (~12 inches) may also work for that shorter distance.

>Do you just go to the optician with the glasses?

No, I order them online:
https://www.google.com/search?q=glasses+online

Those websites let you type in the numerical values for sphere, cylinder, etc. You don't need a prescription. (It's the online contact lens websites that require a faxed prescription or a confirmation phone call with the optometrist.)

If you need a tutorial for how to use a trial lens set, there are lots of youtube videos and text websites explaining SPHERE, CYLINDER, AXIS, ADD, PD, etc. It's really easy.

I used www.zennioptical.com but the others websites have good reviews as well.

If you absolutely must use a local optician such as LensCrafters, EyeMasters, Pearle Vision, Costco, Walmart, etc because you need to try out the frames on your face, a trial lens set isn't going to be as helpful to you.
Yeah, I agree. I'm not thinking clearly right now. My wisdom tooth appears to be coming in. Or something. The right half of my face is swollen and this pain is ~excruciating. Hey, at least my face looks the way my comments sounded, right?

Thanks for putting this into perspective. My comments in this post are pretty embarrassing. I wish I could delete them. But mistakes are too easy to run from. Apologies regardless.

To add to this - we have a cardiovascular system that is kept moving by our heart pumping. We also have a lymph node system, which is moved around by us walking around (no pump). So if you are completely sedentary this can become blocked up and result in all sorts of problems (random lumps, infections etc)
I've been using a standing desk now for almost 2 years and stand about 90% of the time. I think it's one of the best decisions I've ever made because it leads to other healthy habits.

Typically you don't stand still at a standing desk. Your legs will naturally want to move and stretch and since you're already standing, you can do this without really being disturbed.

Also, it sounds funny but walking and even running is a nice "break" from standing. It gives you more energy. I tend to break up my day with 2-3x ~2 mile walks.

There's other big wins too like much improved posture (especially if you were like me and sat in crazy positions).

If anyone wants to try out a standing desk without investing hundreds of dollars on an adjustable one I wrote a guide on how to build a custom standing desk to fit your desk[0] (without needing a saw):

Exactly but it takes the bite out of this anecdote, which is that the $8m solution is unnecessary because there is a $20 solution.

I tried taking breaks while working with one of those screen alarms that turns into a relaxation / stretching video but couldn't continue doing it. It seemed to go off so often, even though I set it to a recommended time interval. I got annoyed quickly and got rid of it. I too feel guilt every time I read one of these articles. To make matters worse, my desk quickly converts to standing position. I don't know what it is about this laziness but I wish I could beat it. Why can't I be strong :(
@dang could you please add (2015) to the title? The title is misleading as-is (and thus flagged) since it makes it seem like breaking news.
Most recent studies on this topic suggest that standing alone is not much (if any) improvement over sitting for long periods; but, you are correct that standing makes it more likely that you will move every few minutes, even seconds, compared to sitting, so that's really where the benefit comes from.
I find the idea that master is the default is exactly why it should not be the development branch. For open-source software, that's what people download and try to build -- it should always strive to be production ready.
For me, the hardest part was getting past that when getting into shape. Going to the gym when you're out of shape isn't very fun. Who wants to role play the loser? You're surrounded by people who all look better and are stronger than you. And it's not just mental, it's also physically unenjoyable.

In my experience, if you can just get over that hump to a point where you start to look good, or get strong, or feel good, it becomes an activity, not a chore. Your body is incredible and it's a shame to not see a glimpse of its potential.

This simple concept was very helpful to me, and I hope to others as well.
I bought a speed rope and started skipping for 20 minutes every morning while listening to audiobooks. https://rpmtraining.com

It’s cheaper than a gym, needs little space, elevates my heart rate more than running ever did, and there are tricks to learn to keep it fresh and progressively raise the difficulty (double-unders, cross-overs etc.).
The dash is a little blurry which is acceptable since there's no information that requires sharp vision. If I bought a Tesla where lots of important text is shown on the giant LCD monitor in small fonts, I might have to use progressives.
I grew up with this belief, but to be honest reality, if anything, seems the opposite. On average, the very attractive people were also nice and... stable, often frustratingly so. And most of the nastiest, unstable people I've met were often on the unattractive end of the spectrum. I've also recall reading research that came to a similar conclusion.

And when you think about it, it actually makes sense. Sure, attractive people have it easier in a lot of ways, and the 'bubble' is a real thing. So perhaps, maybe, there's some correlation between attraction and competence or work ethic or whatnot.

But I'd argue that being bullied, ignored, ostracized, and so on, is a much more likely source of being 'terrible', or unstable, or unpleasant than being coddled a bit more than others.

That said I would argue that the 'safest' person to date, if you're going to account for looks, is the average-looking person who feels comfortable with being average-looking. Ideally about as average as oneself.

I'd say too much of either is a bad thing, best thing to do is have a healthy balance of both then lead an active lifestyle outside of the office!
You have about 5 seconds before your brain shuts up those ideas like "I'll definitely exercise more...".

It's an awesome idea, life changing even. 5 seconds later your rational self catches up with the idea and starts to counter with 'but I don't have enough time', 'it's too hard', 'maybe tomorrow', etc.

The next time you get the idea to exercise more you need to stop what you are doing right then and there and do something about it. Maybe it's not the best time to start exercising at 3am when you have the idea, but at least put it down in your calendar with an alarm/reminder/something. The point being you need to take action on those ideas as soon as you have them, or they are gone.
Today is day 2 of my standup desk for my home computing. Not enough time to give a summary but one thing I have noticed already is I am moving around a lot more. After about 30 minutes of standing I have do something else, walk outside, or do a few squats or stretch. Reason I built stand up desk are all the reasons in the article.
there's probably many different reasons, like for any political idea. For a start, unionists within catalonia tend to have a very different discourse than those that live in spain proper.
Start small - take the stairs over the lift, do more walking etc. Just make it part of your life, no need for exercise to stop and start in the gym.
It also implies security due to reduced attack surface and non-standart interfaces.
Well, I would suggest that instead of going all in at once, try making fitness a habit step by step.

1 - Cut sugar from your diet
2 - Reduce junk food from your diet (start having homemade food)
3 - Start doing bodyweight exercises

and so on.

It will be much easier to stick to the plan if you break your goal into smaller actionable steps.
Based on this statement there is also another possible way: remove the architectural overheads that magnify the impact of Launder's limit. So probably he is right saying that there are other improvements that are easier to accomplish that we can do before caring about Launder's limit.
I exercise regularly and have always thought of a standing desk as far too extreme, Especially as programmers as we need to think though problems over several hours. The added stress of standing would just be far too much.
It’s easier when you build it into your daily routines. E.g. I have to go to work anyway, so I take a bike.
You're not supposed to like them; and really the only people that are inconvenienced by them are those going to fast anyway.
I wish these article writers wouldn't write in the "YOU" mode, instead write "how sitting on front the computer is killing me" and then realize maybe there's a better way to communicate this without making us feel guilty.

Pain teaches me away from sitting too long, but the catch is of course to have some alternatives, like taking a break or standing, or doing yoga, if I didn't have those experiences and routines I wouldn't really probably know or recognize the pain, as the pain would be every day with me.

Standing desk is a great invention, but I've noticed I cannot stand all day long, as I cannot sit all day long, best solution for _me_ is to alternate between standing and sitting, that seems to do the trick.

There is a Tony Robbins video somewhere where he says "in life, you get your standards". I.e. not what you want or desire but what you make an absolute standard. I found it can take time and few mental visits to a problem before this happens.

Most of us have standards around hygiene, dental care, personal appearance etc that are almost immutable.

If you have a standard that you want to remain fit and that becomes deep-rooted then there is nothing to think about. It will happen.
The more you sit and the less exercise you do, the less energy do you have to improve.

At least make sure that weekends you have hobby that requires to go outside. If you find yourself walking all the weekend is going to be easier to stand at the office.

I also have tried playing VR games with "room scaling". It forces you to play standing.

The more exercise and time you spend standing, the easier it becomes. But the reverse is also true. If you feel tired all the time, it is hard to start exercising and you need to trick yourself into bootstrapping the habit.
> Leave the "master" for developing.

IMHO do developing always on topic branches, never on master.

This keeps master available for fully-working software, such as for the most-recent successful build using continuous integration, or for always-available deployment, or for external users, etc.

To create topic branches, here are git alias commands that you can customize as you like for your git workflows:

topic-start = "!f(){ b=$1; git checkout master; git fetch; git rebase; git checkout -b "$b" master; };f"

topic-finish = "!f(){ b=$(git branch-name); git checkout master; git branch -d "$b"; git push origin ":$b"; };f"

branch-name = rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD

This was very much valid before the docker workflows came to happen.

Now maintaining two mainline branches forces you to break "don't build a container per environment" cardinal rule. Trunk based development should be the go-to repository strategy for dockerized apps.

Another reason I decided to try it out is that when I am comfortably seated I can spend hours on HN. Yes it is ironic that I am standing and posting on HN but truth be told in 10 or so minutes I will be tired and forced to take a walk. I am hoping to curb some bad online habits by standing.
I regularly go to the gym to lift weights and I keep my body fat under control by strict control of eating times (I fast for hours every day). I'm very strong and look good. But I'm constantly battling with finding enough time for everything. I basically want to have all my time to code, but I also want to do other things (I also play guitar and cook, and I sleep at least 8 hours a day). I don't think this feeling will ever go away. I just have to accept that I can only achieve so much with programming.
> I tend to break up my day with 2-3x ~2 mile walks.

To be clear, you do ~2 mile walks two to three times per day? So you walk 4 - 6 miles per day? It actually sounds kind of appealing to me—I like walking... but it seems like a serious amount of time, and like finding places to walk might be difficult.
What's the point of running CI on a branch that's effectively for tracking releases only?

We run CI on master branch and fix any build breaks or regressions immediately. (That's the job of unit tests and integration tests.)

In fact, if your team is smaller, you do release from master branch directly, just tag the release revisions. Then if you need to hotfix it, check out the tag, make a branch, cherrypick a fix to the branch, and do point release from the branch: problem solved.

That's if the client running the (older) release version is large enough to justify releasing hotfix instead of doing fix to main stream and just asking to upgrade to latest release.

Yes to topic branches. Yes to "cactus model" of rebasing the topic to master. No to the idea that you need extra long-lived "develop" branch in parallel to master.

I find that routine is important to getting regular exercise and movement. I am one of those programmers who likes getting into a 'flow' state and working for large blocks of time, so my strategy is to try and get a 1 hr walk in the morning when I wake up.

Much as people like to check their Inbox first thing to get it out of the way before starting productive work, I find that getting my walk in the morning before I have breakfast and sit down to start work ensures that it happens. If I tried to fit it in late in the day, I know that a long debug session or support email thread with a customer will easily derail it.

Organised activity is also good for making me stick to schedules. I took up Kendo about 18 months ago, and the regularly scheduled classes and training sessions are good for forcing me off the computer and go work up a sweat. I especially love the little 30 second meditation we do at the start and end of each class. The purpose of the starting meditation is to put aside all our normal work/life/personal worries and stresses, and focus on the sport, then the end meditation is to bring them all back again.

All totally true, but the interesting thing is that even when they made those same assumptions (which seem to me, at least, the most reasonable assumptions), people - including the PhDs - still assessed the probabilities incorrectly.

The really difficult thing to get your head around is that the door you chose still has a 1/3 probability, despite the fact that you know there are two doors, one of which hides the car, and the other hides the goat.

I’ve done both native (Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, Gtk+, Tizen) and React.

Your post comes off as condescending fanboy hype. I understand you want to promote React, but this approach does more damage than good.

My personal experience is that “declarative” in this industry is a perennial silver bullet. What often goes unnoticed is that declarative languages are not very future-proof, as extensions are constrained by the originally chosen primitives. Pathological examples are enterprise Java+XML and CSS — both of these were hailed as declarative breakthroughs originally, and today they are the stuff of “TheDailyWTF” nightmares.

Surely that will not happen to React, you say, because it gets so many things right? Well, as a thought exercise, imagine what things could be like in 2027 and then imagine you’re stuck working in a 15-year-old patched up JavaScript/HTML hybrid. That is the endgame. I like React, but it’s subject to the same market forces as every other technology in this space.
I was researching some of this a few weeks ago, and there are many posts about tags being a bad idea. The arguments are that they have to be maintained separately and they lack context.

But yes, master branch master race.

Speaking of bad ideas, anyone want to weigh in on merge commits? I've seen arguments in favor of using `git rebase` everywhere, both ways, and to never squash commits. This makes `git bisect` usable, since you never run into a situation where it points to a massive commit as the problem.

On the other hand, that seems pretty terrible from a `git log` perspective, since many commits are WIP. But maybe it's not a big deal. My bigger concern is that merge commits provide real context: whenever you merge a topic branch into master, it seems to make sense to have a merge commit for that entire operation. But wouldn't that cause `git bisect` to always point to that merge commit rather than one of the smaller commits?

The continued availability of the last two years' iPhone models has been common practice since the iPhone 3GS remained on sale alongside the iPhone 4S. The fact that the iPhone 6S is still available now has at least 6 years of precedent. I think the article is more than a little off base in searching for another explanation here.

The oddities this time are that the iPhone 8 isn't called the iPhone 7s (even though that's what it so obviously is) and Apple's also announced (but hasn't yet released) the iPhone X.

>> and in fact, from cryptographic perspective it's not money at all, it's document timestamping service.

> I'm not sure that's mutually exclusive or that that's a useful distinction, unless the point is that Bitcoin/blockchains can also be easily used for timestamping.

Money is a token that can only be spent once by its current owner, and for
verification it doesn't need knowledge about all the other tokens.

There were attempts at designing cyrptographic protocol for money, and they
had this property baked in at the cryptography level. Bitcoin's spending
verification is placed not in the cryptographic protocol, but higher, in the
protocol protected by the cryptographic protocol. Thus, Bitcoin is not
money, but document timestamping.

Money has different cryptographic properties, and Bitcoin implements money on
top of document timestamping. People untrained in cryptography (and thus the
ones unqualified to touching the protocol part) usually mistake one for the
other, and are usually heavily surprised that you can do document timestamping
with Bitcoin, which was designed specifically for that.
