Couple of things:

1. Lift 3 times a week, squats/OHP/Rows, deadlifts/dips/pullups. Mix in as much supplementary work as desired (plyometrics, sprints, cardio, etc)

2. Intermittent fasting. I only eat from 4 - 8 weekdays, more like 1 - 8 on the weekends. I do have black coffee in the mornings, though (lots of it...)

3. Low-ish carb diet. The only things I eat that have carbs in em are fruits (usually two pieces), veggies and whole milk. Eggs and chicken are the staple proteins...some days I eat 6 eggs. Sometimes I'll throw down a can of sardines for extra protein.

Unfortunately I'm having some back issues (possibly SI joint related), so I gotta be careful with the lifting, but other than that I'm strong & fast.
I turned 30 this year, born 1987, and I had no idea that I missed out on this kind of education by so few years.

I remember there were a couple of BBC Micros sat getting dusty in the corners of a couple of classrooms in both my infant (year 1-2) and junior (year 3-6) schools, but we never used them.

Instead we had brand new Windows machines on which we learnt Powerpoint, Excel and used Encarta. Joy.
I don't want to be alarmist, but just because it's not stolen doesn't mean that it isn't logged. I've worked with Dynatrace. I've used it piece together bugs that QA had found but couldn't reproduce a second time around. It's truly powerful software.

After a set of test data refresh, we lost some of the new test passwords associated with some of the new data. Then it clicked: Dynatrace has keylogging. I searched for login events of those users, and sure enough, there were the keystrokes for the passwords of each of those users.

Yes, this kind of software is a godsend for debugging, but improper usage, storage or transmission of data is a real concern.
I did not like Saka Key (some weird behavior sometimes), but Vim Vixen comes close to VimFx.
Regarding Wim Hof method a little warning: I loved the effect of cold showers and went from my usual 15 seconds to 1-2 minutes and got very sick. Two times. In hindsight not very smart from my side (even less as I did this during winter and while my daughter started to go to Kindergarten exposing me with plenty of new germs), but if you are like me and have a tendency to over-do things be careful. Still think Wim Hof method has advantages but start very slow.
Well, yes, it does have some merit but "done impartially" is the hair in the ointment, isn't it.

But to the point, categorical denial of access to a participatory space -- here based on your bank balance -- is akin to denying voting rights based on gender or color.
> "recording every keystroke" makes it sound like there's malicious intent

Thinking from a security perspective, I'm not sure "intent" is an important consideration. The question is: should third parties have the technical capability to do this?

IMO there are enough bad actors out there to answer this with a resounding _no_, at least by default.

How to protest the FCC’s plan to dismantle net neutrality
It appears that the author uses adoption as his main metric of what works.

It's also quite hilarious that the author lists fancy type systems as a definite No, but formal methods as a maybe.
I'm confused as to why he doesn't put functional programming as a yes. He writes "Functional languages are still quite niche, but functional programming ideas are now mainstream, at least for the HN/reddit/twitter crowd."

While purely Functional languages are definitely not mainstream, as he puts functional programming ideas are pretty mainstream. At the same time major OO languages like java have incorporated functional programming ideas, so arguably even Java is not purely Object Oriented anymore. It seems to me by his criteria that would also put OO as a no too.

If he comes from OO languages I think this is a bias because it is easy to take OO for granted and put strict requirements on foreign Functional Programming before accepting it as successful. However it seems to me the only criteria that should be needed to call either paradigm successful is if their ideas are are mainstream, which is true for both languages.

Basically if Function Programming ideas have gained currency then it should be regarded as successful.
Want one. Now. My daughter would freak on christmas.
Looks nice. It asked me how I found it - and HN wasn't an option. Is it possible to have the user enter info freehand? The list-choice questions can miss things.
He mentions Rust in the garbage collection category, so it's interesting that it's not mentioned in the fancy type category. Maybe he considers higher kinded types a requirement to be fancy, which is still just an RFC in Rust.
imo Reddit does it right: Hot content, new content, popular content, controversial content.

They're not unregulated everywhere, you know. Short-term house rentals were not exactly invented yesterday.
I posted this not because of AirBnB and rather as a good example to show how low the barrier for surveillance through hardware (& software) is by now.

A few years ago this would have been quite expensive and not easy to do.

Providing a decimal type would of course not be the job of the developer of a smart contract - I would expect that the smart contract platform would anticipate the necessity of convenient decimal number handling and thus provide a suitable abstraction.

In the case of Ethereum, it could either be provided in the language or on the virtual machine level. I'm not that much into the EVM's inner workings to judge whether a machine-level implementation would be a good idea from an architectural viewpoint, but it would definitely deliver the best possible performance and lead to the smallest amount of contract code, thereby saving on gas to deploy the contract. As a second-best solution, the language could provide such an abstraction - it would at least be able to apply optimizations when compiling the code down to EVM opcodes, which an implementation purely on the contract level would not be able to do.
True. Any other recommendations? Disconnect the electricity? Scan the network to find any devices that look weird?
I think Amazon is exposing themselves to far greater security risks than they realize.
Don't want to get into a flamewar here (save that for reddit haha!) but they're not my cup of tea. Lots of people use them though.
I was going to comment the same thing. Most people are always open to switching if the evidence is there to support a better workflow or experience. The realm of endless marketing to all the demographics will never stop.
I haven't used SDL for audio in many years, but most games nowadays use FMOD or Wwise and not platform native audio API's and they work just as well with SDL (or GLFW or whatever) as without. Both FMOD and Wwise offer a free version[1].

Note also, in case you're not already aware, that SDL 2 is quite a different beast than SDL 1.x and is much improved in many ways, although I can't speak for addon libraries (I don't know what SDL media is like, for example).

[1] The free version of Wwise has a limit of 500 sounds and your budget must be under $150K; while FMOD is free as long as your budget under $500k and you can only publish one game a year under this license -- either way, both are financially accessible to Indies and both are free during evaluation/development.
You can't get much more mainstream than Javascript, and it's fairly functional.

Yes they talk about HDHomeRun, so that's only for clear broadcasts (antenna)
I have a home gym / treadmill desk setup at home. I also don't own a dedicated power-rack yet or olympic bar and I've found I can get by fine just using an ironmaster-superbench with dip bar and pullup station. I walk at 1.6mph on my treadmill desk while playing rocket league as a pre-warmup before working out, because I don't take preworkout or caffeine.

I don't like going to the gym since everytime I want to use the power-rack after work its usually occupied and it throws my workout schedule out of tempo.

I tried following 5x5 stronglifts / greyskull program but it wasn't to my liking.

I follow reddits r/bodyweightfitness program recommended routine. https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/kb/recommend.... I follow it verbatim. Its essentially a fullbody workout & callisthetics. I like this since its easy-to-remember, has clear progressions laid out, and has a big emphasis on warmup and equal emphasis on skillwork.

Each workout takes ~1.5 hours of time. 20 minutes to do skillwork (handstands, dip holds) & warmup to prevent injuries. 1 Hour to actually do the workout. 10 Minutes to do post-recovery via muscle massage.

I workout 2-3 days of the week. It only takes ~4 hours on average of working out/ week and I see a lot of results for the small amount of time I spend. Normally I'll watch TV inbetween sets.

I did lots of research of what supplements to take and how I want to take them.

- Creatine
- Whey Protein
- Fish oil tablets

The 3 above supplements are well established and researched for muscular growth, with no long term side effects. Creatine made a big difference when I stagnated on muscle progression. You can opt to take other supplements like multivitamins, Vitamin D if you live up north, ZMA for increased recovery, etc.

I usually can't bother to remember when to actually take supplements, so I have the following routine, when I wake up and only after post workout

- PROTEIN SHAKE (20 oz shaker bottle) = 30g Protein Powder + 5g Creatine (2.5g for postworkout) + 50% SoyMilk (Silk Vanilla Brand) + 50% Water + 2 fish oil tablets in morning. It tastes good, healthy, requires no absolutely no effort, and soymilk has a shelf-life of 2 months. I normally prep this in <1 minutes, then get dressed while downing my shake so I can spread out 20 oz of liquid over a longer span of time. I normally use 50% soymilk and 50% water as a mix because the shake needs to taste good enough (soymilk), while at the same time soluble enough for protein powder (water). This also hits 3 of 8 glasses of water requirements I need / day.

Whenever I workout, I don't use an app, count calories, or anything like that. Its far too much effort to keep track of. I keep a simple moleskin notebook. I write down what weight rating I get for evey set. I write specific notes on whether my form was good or not. I add any notes about how I felt that day (was I sick, was I on vacation for some time, did I sleep well the night before, etc?).
A New Way for Machines to See, Taking Shape in Toronto
Old school corps - DEC, HP, even IBM to an extent - weren't about increasing growth irrespective of consequences.

The DEC Employee Handbook made a big deal out of Doing the Right Thing. Obviously that was subjective, frequently debatable, and sometimes just a pain in the ass - but it was a guiding principle for engineers of that generation, and for engineers who became managers.

And it produced some outstanding engineering and innovation.

Because it actually means "Do the best work you can, for your own self-respect, and also because you respect your users."

That's light years away from "Screw as much money out of your customers as you can, as many overtime hours out of your developers as you can, and if the product is broken - who cares if the money keeps coming in?"
In a separate incident, Korean tourists in Fukuoka, Japan found hidden cameras in their AirBnB.

That said, AirBnB seems like a great example of a business that many would have thought impossible because of various kinds of social risks -- sexual assault, theft, etc. -- yet, with care taken, human decency prevails.
Introducing the new Snapchat
Interesting, but the really big difference comes when you need to push data out to end users...network egress charges.
Indian languages also lack articles - my mother immigrated to USA over 30 years ago and I still have to add in articles sometimes when I proofread something she writes.
Devil's advocate:

The use of cameras can help prosecute and provide proof to back up destruction claims - something airbnb providers probably run up against regularly.

And given the legal grey area airbnb hosts exist in, it's probably not explicitly illegal, since they're filming their own property.

Non-devil's advocate:

Creepy as hell. Especially since there's only a camera in the bedroom.

This is actually the great fear about WikiTribune: that it'll end up like Wikinews - nice launch, then drop to near no activity, point or interest. (I was along for the WikiTribune hack day in February, this is one of the things that was discussed at length.)
A question about the 500 lines of code and tooling limitations. Is this something that is inherently an issue of the underlying technology or do you predict that this is something that is likely to be improved upon over time? And if you think it'll be improved, are we years away from big improvements? Less?
The smart contract is the tool to make sure* that transferred Ether results in power being transferred. Of course we could just use a blockchain like Bitcoin and define "send x BTC to wallet y and I promise you will get your power" - but in that case, the blockchain can just guarantee the value transfer, not the subsequent actions being undertaken.

* since this involves interaction with the outside world, I don't know a way at this point that 100% guarantees that your get your power. Curious how they tackle this.
Another thing to try is put the phone on a shelf with car keys when you get home, and only pick it up after the kids are in bed. The feeling of "phantom phone" and the desire to check it are real. I totally empathise with you.
I agree for the author's point of view, but as a reader I enjoy contradiction and argumentation because that's where I learn most. Then when I see someone starting with `not true` or `I disagree`, I immediately interested in reading more. YMMV though.
JS is multi-paradigm, it's functional but it's also 3 other things that muddy the water a bit.

Especially considering most programming languages have those neat helper methods or stdlib implementations that basically bring functional programming without changing the language much.
If RISC-V turns out a competitor to ARM based Raspberry PI than it would be great.

If this initiative turns out to be a smart hard disk (HDD) that runs yet another full CPU with Minix like the infamous Intel ME gate. Then we don't need it, the world needs not another spy device, aka insecure hardware that has full acccess, yet is invisible to the users (= owner) of the device.

Really ignorant question, but does size reduction affect heat dissipation at all?
How was it squandered? Pre Brexit the UK was EU #1 for SW startups. Obviously the US is #1 globally in SW, but UK has been strong for a long time in many verticals: gaming, fintech, mech eng, petroleum eng. I started coding in Basic on a Pet in 79, and learned Z80 on a ZX81. The 8 bit experience was great for our SW sector, and far more fruitful than Tony Benn's misguided nationalisation of English Electric Leo Marconi to create a national champion in the shape of ICL. That was 50 years ago, and those govt backed ICL VME systems are still out there, a legacy dead weight on the orgs that bought into them.
I sympathize with both sides of this argument. The author is correct: If you're providing a service on the web, especially a widely used one, you should make it usable for all web users to the fullest extent possible, regardless of browser.

But on the other hand... boy am I glad I switched from web dev to primarily back-end work. Building and maintaining complex software that works reliably in one environment is enough of a challenge as it is... without all the extra variables of an ever-changing landscape of browsers and devices, with varying levels of feature support, all of which you have zero control over.

IMO being a front-end dev is borderline masochistic :)
Sure; I meant a different algorithm. e.g. inefficient by recomputing the same result in some cases; perhaps like parallel searches that may overlap. Such strategies would not have been researched much because they seem not just inefficient but stupid. But when you have cores to burn, they may turn out to be clever...

I know of a case where similar happened when silicon became much cheaper several decades ago... the inventor said it just wouldn't have occurred to anyone before then, because it required an infeasible amount of silicon. People couldn't (or wouldn't) think in those terms.
I'd open a HELOC now, but be aware it could be closed in the event of a bank reevaluating your ability to pay.

Could you clarify the "4 orders of magnitude" comment?

~10 atoms is ballpark 2nm. If you are referring to a length dimension with your comment, four orders of magnitude larger would have some dimension on the order of 20um, corresponding to a 1970s process.

Sounds like anecdotal evidence that Moore's law has ended: If Moore's law was still in play then your 2011 computer would struggle to run 2017 software which is geared towards 2017 computers. But if Moore's law had ended then 2017 computers wouldn't be much faster than 2011 computers, so 2017 software would work fine on 2011 computers

I once ended up in an AirBnB that had large cockroaches that came out at night (and landed on the bed, freaking my wife out). Called AirBnB at 2AM, they asked for proof (sent them a video). Finally, at 5AM I told them that we were leaving.

They just cancelled the reservation, giving us no chance to leave a review. AFAIK, that host is still renting out her cockroach-riddled place in Oahu.

Hi Edent thanks for your response. Diversity in technology is a subject we do like to touch upon in our episodes and the question you posed is great, i'll be sure to have us work it into an upcoming show.

I can also point you to some previous female guests who were on our show if you'd like. We are aware of the imbalance of male to female guests on our show and the imbalance is something we're always working on.

WashPo just broke the allegations against Roy Moore. Before, they did Pulitzer Prize-winning investigations into the Presidents' foundation, and how it channeled donations into his businesses.

The NYT has had dozens of investigative reports in the last year. They were, for example, the first to reveal the meeting of the President's son and advisors with the underbelly of Russian politics. I think they also broke the allegations against Al Franken.

The wire services do valuable work, but they don't investigate. They are a mechanism to lower the costs of journalism by de-duplicating the manpower needed to, for example, attend press conferences. That approach is important, especially in times of financial pressures on journalism. But it doesn't suffice for the fourth estate to fulfil its duty to inform the public.
Then another company will capture that 40% of the market and disrupt the first company for tiny development costs. Still can't see the problem.

Well I'm entirely new to this and pretty blockchain sceptical but I don't think SeckimJohn showed why neither work, did he?

As I understand it each concern requires some kind of function/method which addresses it within the smart contract, right? So the real problem is that once you publish the contract you better make sure you haven't forgotten something important...

Sadly, these kinds of attacks on the internet's neutrality shall continue taking place unless we figure out a way to build a completely decentralized version of the internet; as in edge nodes talking directly to each other without any central authority/infrastructure.

They're ingesting several data sources, including CloudTrail (IAM events in the account) and VPC flow logs (network activity) to look for suspicious behavior. For example, if someone disables CloudTrail logging, that API event is suspicious, especially if it comes from outside your organization. If your EC2 instances start pinging known Bitcoin mining servers, that's probably something you want to fix as well.
Anyone using a computer back then ran into the same problems. The upgrade from Pentium to Core2Duo to the iX series was very noticeable.

Not to mention the 32 bit to 64 bit transition that allowed us to use more RAM in Windows.

IMHO, the upgrade from HDD to SSD was the most noticeable speed jump.
