Unless the pain is due to repetitive stress, which tends to be my problem. I can easily do heavy squats, but riding a bike for 30 minutes kills my knees.
None of those have interfaces on par with say amazon or ebay or even facebook. ALthough i know facebook uses mostly ajax anyway. IN fact justin.tv and scribd really are just a cms that pushes the video rather then the site being based around the interface as it is with facebook.

Its not really that important just something that ive noticed. THen again there arent really any java sites that i can think of that are high load sites that have complex interfaces either. Meaning newer sites. MAybe they just arent in fashion anymore. Or everybody is just moving to ajax front ends.
That doesn't seem right. Apple is a high margin manufacturer and you often hear of a 50% markup on the BoM for their products http://www.computerworlduk.com/news/infrastructure/18592/app...

The markup on commodity computers (and I'd put Android tablets in that category) is very low.
How To Make a Solar Panel Review - Home
This headline is misleading. The answer is not that you need to be lifting light weights. Rather, you need to focus on progressive load.

Repeatedly lifting any weight just gets your body used to lifting that weight. This is how our minds work too. If you do a task enough times, you just get good at that task.

It's not that lifting a light weight would suddenly make you better at lifting a heavy weight, nor that repeating a single simple task would make you better at more challenging complex tasks.

What you really want is your body to get used to progressively lifting heavier weights, just as you want your mind to get used to progressively more challenging tasks.

This translates to starting with light weights and progressively increasing your load over time. Ditto your mind.

Where the body is different is that there are physical limitations. You can't increase weight forever.

Training programes like HST (Hypertrophic specific training) solve this with periodic strategic de-conditioning.

I personally recommend anyone interested in weight training spend some lime looking into HST.
Finding good VAs is more challenging than it seems. I've tried using asksunday with poor results. I asked for some market research.

Can anyone recommend a good VA firm?
People who regularly strength train already take this into account. Hence, you will see body builders focus more on high rep workouts, whereas powerlifters and olympic lifters focus more on low rep workouts. (They all incorporate both kinds of training, but what they focus on differs.)

I'm surprised this hadn't already been experimentally established. Verifying this experimentally is good, but it's certainly not a "new paradigm." And I don't like the recommendations from the press release: the kind of training you need depends on what you want to do.

Hmm. I'm not sure if they address the different kinds of muscle that is built. The generally accepted model among strength trainers is that low weight, high rep training builds red "twitch" muscle and high weight, low rep training builds white "slow" muscle: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletal_muscle#Muscle_fibers

The only mention is in the conclusions:

In contrast to recommendations [31], that heavy loads (i.e., high intensity) are necessary to optimally stimulate MYO protein synthesis, it is now apparent that the extent of MYO protein synthesis after resistance exercise is not entirely load dependent, but appears to be related to exercise volume and, we speculate, to muscle fibre activation and most likely to the extent of type II fibre recruitment.

If I understand correctly, they're detecting a protein associated with muscle growth. But they're speculating on what kind of muscle is actually grown. Since it's already assumed that high-weight, low-rep training does not lead to significant muscle hypertrophy, it would be worthwhile to find out if the muscle that's developed is, indeed, different. If it is, then there's still value in doing both kinds of training. (Personally, I assume this is the case.)
The point of the article is not that men should not be ambitious, but that their self-image should not rely on how much money they make.

You might consider it "ambitious" if a woman spends a significant amount of time, money, and effort on her appearance in order to look like a celebrity or supermodel, but others would call it "dumb and dangerous."
Many programs have been pitching this idea for years, some take it to the extreme and tell you that a single rep should last 20 seconds, (10 up, 10 down).

One thing to keep in mind is that you have 2 types of muscle, twitch and power. Sprinters overdevelop their power muscles, long distance runners overdevelop their twitch muscles. Your best bet is to try to find workout strategies to find a good balance between those two.
Note that this is not the end of source code releases of Solaris:

We will continue to use the CDDL license statement in nearly all Solaris source code files. We will not remove the CDDL from any files in Solaris to which it already applies, and new source code files that are created will follow the current policy regarding applying the CDDL (simply, that usr/src files will have the CDDL, and the very small minority of files in usr/closed might not have it). Use of other open licenses in non-ON consolidations (e.g. GPL in the Desktop area) will also continue. As before, requests to change the license associated with source code are case-by-case decisions.

We will distribute updates to approved CDDL or other open source- licensed code following full releases of our enterprise Solaris operating system. In this manner, new technology innovations will
show up in our releases before anywhere else. We will no longer distribute source code for the entirety of the Solaris operating system in real-time while it is developed, on a nightly basis.

In other words, the Solaris development process is becoming more closed, but you'll still be able to see the source code for any given release. Or at least, that's how I interpret the above.

I'm not in touch enough with Solaris development to know how much of a practical impact this will have--how many non-Sun/Oracle people work on OpenSolaris?
Anti-Trojan Elite 5.1.0 RETAIL PREACTIVATED
Nothing in this is new or unexpected. See Ripptoe and Kilgore's Practical Programming for Strength Training for a comprehensive guide in deciding how much weight to lift how many times.
The GPL version 3 includes a similar clause. You don't have to give up your patents. You just have to license them to anyone who has rights to use the code from a copyright perspective. If I understand it correctly, this gives the GPL sharper teeth, since someone who violates the GPL not only loses the distribution/derivative rights from the copyright license, but also the patent license.
It won't be. Oracle will keep the CDDL, and use ZFS to market Solaris as a USP over Linux, until (and probably after) btrfs becomes mainstream on Linux.
I have had that feeling, it was related to a serioud non-work semi-crises/distraction.

Is there anything troubling you that your 'lost interest' may be a more-or-less symptom of?
Well that depends, and it is the difference between working for a company and "running" a company, IMHO.

The actual act of founding a company can result in you working for it or running it, sometimes one after the other. This transition is as key as the work itself. The traditional method is to sell, taking a lump sum buyout and outsourcing the entire operation to someone else forever. That gives you the base from which you can take a month or more to build robot spiders.

Other methods also exist, most popular being to outsource a lot of operation functions and automate others, but still retain control. This happens a lot in many organizations, not just tech startups.

This provides enough freedom to build robot spiders and work on your company at the same time; retaining the investment for the long term, presumably because it is something you actually enjoy doing. Tim Ferris is the extreme example here, 37Signals a more realistic one.

If you are slaving away "working" for your own company as a long term solution, you are doing it wrong. You may as well go find a corporate job and pile up the pension.
Don't forget NetBeans, the Rich Client Platform. Lots of applications are built on it (Light Analysis, Energy Consumption Management, Petroleum Engineering App, Swedish Trading Client & Swedish Defense Research App, Open Source Stock Trading Platform, Jewelry Customer Manager -- these are news only from the last 3-4 months), even NASA uses it.
It's crucial for Oracle to sustain NetBeans development and not to favour their JDeveloper IDE (cause the latter isn't a platform).

Really, ezmobius nailed it. I feel compelled to chime in on Baby Stuff, though. (You don't need as much as you think you need, but a few things were really great.)

I emailed a friend with some advice on items we found useful (and a few things we didn't), but it's too long to just paste here, so I'll summarize...

My Brest Friend (put this one in your "OMG the baby's coming" bag!), a baby carrier (we love our Beco, but find a carrier or sling that fits you while letting the baby breathe), "Happiest Baby on the Block" DVD, specially-designed swaddling blankets, and (optionally) a "yoga" ball for bouncing babies to sleep. Big stroller may not be necessary (we mostly wore our daughter, and that big stroller will eat the entire car trunk), but strollers with pneumatic tires are really nice to push.

Later, Kiddopotamus makes fantastic rubber bibs and placemats. (Seriously, their placemat is genius.) We found that the $25 Fisher-price "Healthy Care Deluxe" booster seat beats the pants off of much fancier highchairs.

Thanks Dirtae.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that it only serves iphone users (blackberry/android pending).

I suspect that iPhone (and generally smart phone) users will be less likely customers though, because its generally easier for them to check prices from their phone than for mobile users like me (no smart phone).

I certainly can't expect to be able to serve everyone who wants stock information. But I was right in my target market, so I'm crossing my fingers that there are others as well.
Riding a bike? That shouldn't happen.

FWIW, I had the same problem until I realized one thing - I like laying down on my stomach with laptop in front of me, knees firmly pressing into the sofa. As it seems now this caused prolonged dislocation of kneecaps which caused problems later when biking or doing similar cardio. Two weeks after I stopped doing that the bike problem went away.
I also don't agree with the Tea Party sentiment but felt this article reflected badly on the author and not the Tea Partiers (I think that's the plural?). The argument itself is a valid one. If you give government the power to regulate what private companies deliver to customers over private lines than it COULD easily lead to censorship. You need look no further than Australia's nation wide content restrictions to realize that.

I'd actually agree with the Tea Party on this if not for two things.

1. I don't truly feel people have a lot of broadband options available to them. Most Americans are still stuck between their phone company and their cable company and that's not enough free market protection.

2. At least in the case of the phone company they have a monopoly on their lines BECAUSE of the Government's half hearted break up of AT&T. Meaning Net Neutrality laws would be the Government undoing their meddling in many ways.
I may be off but I don't think it's about "low rep vs high rep" or "light weight vs heavy weight", it's about working your muscles to fatigue.

Being evil is also subjective. For Oracle stockholders and quarterly statements, acting out of self-interest is a good thing.
I just explained to you the reasons why you are wrong which you have conveniently disregarded.

Instead of rising up to the challenge or admitting failure, you make broad sweeping generalizations like you could learn 99% of any CS concept in less than a day, and that any challenge that you are not willing to do (or likely cannot), is because the challenge has no "real-life" application.

Not only did you read the paper incorrectly, trying desperately to find holes in it, but you try to change the subject by calling me naive in my refusal to allow you to just say "memoize" as the answer to any algorithmic challenge. I think it is clear to anyone else reading this that you are in the wrong here.

In the same vein, virtual assistants are not pixie dust, they are employees that you have to maintain.

"It's the Mexican fisherman story. Sacrifice your freedom and happiness so that you can get rich so that you can have freedom and happiness."

and how do you suppose we do that?

Freedom to me means:

1) not having to work for anyone
2) having enough time to do what I want
3) traveling around the world

You need money to do all of these. To get money, you need to create something that people are willing to pay for, which takes some sacrifices.

You are sacrificing some time and freedom now for complete freedom later.

Seneca - On the Shortness of Life
"If you save wisely, you can retire just fine after a career at a tech company making 2-3x the US median salary."

This is a theory at this point...and it's not a well-tested theory. I don't know many people who have actually retired from a lifetime (i.e. 30+ year) career in tech. Considering that the software industry (as we know it) is only about 30 years old, it's hard to draw long-term conclusions.

Why DDOS posterous? What's there to gain from it?

This isn't like the ones who DDOS'ed MS out of their hatred for it or the ones who blackmailed & DDOS'ed a gambling website when they refused to pay up.
I personally find this one of the most inspiring pieces i've recently read, and I think it's of interest to a lot of HN'ers.

"Can anything be sillier than the point of view of certain people—I mean those who boast of their foresight? They keep themselves very busily engaged in order that they may be able to live better; they spend life in making ready to live! They form their purposes with a view to the distant future; yet postponement is the greatest waste of life; it deprives them of each day as it comes, it snatches from them the present by promising something hereafter."

That is something that's stuck in my head ever since.

How does tcl, php, and vimscript support dynamic scoping? Examples please.

IIRC common lisp supports dynamic scoping too -- it defaults to lexical scoping though.
I keep hearing this thing about freedom to work on something you want to after getting rich as opposed to something you have to. I'm not sure that Utopian scenario exists.

It sounds charming to be a vintner, writer, film producer, or my personal favorite, travel the world care-free once you have enough money but I'm honestly not sure there's more to it than the charm of it. Time and resources aren't that short that we cannot do what we want to (even if it means in a limited manner) in the present. I have a friend who wants to become a writer (he writes very well, too) but in the mean time wants to make a lot of money by being a Fx Quant so he can "retire" to write full-time. I can't help but think that he is mistaking what it means to be a writer to the idyllic charm of the idea.

My field of view might be limited but I don't know of even half a dozen people who went on to do drastically different things after getting rich, so to speak. They continued doing what they did before, the only difference being that they now had the means that afforded them more diverse experiences. In fact, just recently one of the ten richest men in my city came back to my division to run it after a hiatus of ten years. He is past 60, owns a vineyard, and enough money to outlast five generations. At this age, he comes back to the challenge but grind of trying to turn around a division's fortunes.

The purpose I think comes from industriousness, not in bumming around from one fleeting interest to another because you have money.
Ask HN: How can you measure your own mental performance?
My daughter was born in March and since then, in order to get close to the same amount done while also spending time with her, I'm sleeping a good couple of hours less per night than I used to (maybe 6 hours of broken sleep instead of 8 hours of good sleep).

There are a bunch of studies that show an impact of sleep on intelligence. Now, while I generally feel like I'm coping well with the change, I occasionally do things that show I must be tired.

How would I know if it was making me more stupid? How can you assess changes in your own intelligence/smarts?

I used to feel that I really needed my sleep and I'm now trying to work out if fatherhood has taught me that I actually don't, or if I do but haven't noticed the impact on my mental abilities?
Join the crowd. I used to work with a guy that said he'd rather be a groundskeeper and mow grass. I totally sympathized with him then, and somewhat felt the same way. But at this point am so burnt out and bored with development that I am seriously considering changing careers.

There are a number of problems with this though. Go to Indeed.com and type in the name of the language you know. Look at the many opportunities and how many of those fall into respectable salary ranges. Now type in other occupations. Not quite as good, huh. On the bright side, Indeed.com mines Dice, Monster, and other tech-oriented jobs, and many opportunities are duplicates because different recruiters are advertising the same opportunities.

Anyway, let's assume you are still burnt out and the reality that you will probably make less money doesn't scare you. I am also in that situation, so I understand.

Here's some stuff to look at:

This sort of crisis management is always a challenge. How do you communicate this sort of problem to customers without losing credibility later if there is a risk of lingering issues? Based on the tone of the email that you posted, as a customer, I would expect the problem solved, case closed. Certainly, it makes customers feel good that the team has it handled.

The new events, if not handled quickly, could create doubt in customer minds and the team, as the optimistic outlook may not hold. I hope they beat this soon.

This is already well known. There's a whole school called High Intensity Training (HIT) that promotes doing one set at very low weight to failure.

Periodized powerlifting training starts a cycle off with lower weight and higher reps to build a little muscle and gradually reverses this over 2 or 3 months to train the new muscle to increase one's 1 rep max. Whether doing classic periodization or not though, powerlifters know they need to build muscle, and that means higher reps, and they put that time in somewhere.

I used to do 5 sets of air squats to failure twice a week, and my legs got huge.

You just called him an ass. That's rude.
