with all due respect my friend, and honestly I don't mean to insult you, but what you're describing "drugs are everywhere / everyone does them / everyone works best with them / it's all prevalent and normal" is a bit of a drug addict's mentality.

I have friends who are potheads and they swear that everyone smokes weed and everyone who's ever done something meaningful in their life is because of marijuana.

Not everyone does drugs, and not everyone works best with them, it's not normal, it's not enhancement.

The angle of the feet is not so much a risk as whether or not your knees move in the direction your feet are pointing. If you feet are at an angle to your knee movement, then, yes, you will very much hurt your knee.

Your doctor was probably right to give that advise for walking.

But when lifting weights it is a much more stable position for many, and as long as you ensure your knees track a line over your feet rather than at an angle it's not generally a problem.
Maybe I made a mistake somewhere, but I'm not sure it uses bi-directional links. For a really odd search like GoldenEye -> Abbotsford [1] it uses multiple "special" Wikipedia links that I'm pretty sure wouldn't be bidirectional.

What project would you suggest to do for a back end developer to practice?(2014)
I couldn’t agree more — We must reject the goodwill vegans show animals, and instead embrace goodwill towards our fellow man.

Scientists agree, meat and dairy are part of a healthy diet. It’s even in the food triangle!

If we don’t turn things around now, veganism could spike to 20 or 40 percent in the next generation, and after that there is no going back... the implications are clear.
I'd still recommend learning to squat under load. I'm fine under my own body weight. Put a bar on my back and problems show themselves again.
However some people (me!) definitely have some bio-mechanical impediment.

I can clearly remember at school, 10 -12 years old, during winter after heavy snow, my friends all sliding downhill, feet absolutely flat on the floor, sat hunched as low as possible.

Absolutely impossible for me - I couldn't get my backside within 30-40 cm off the ground no matter what I tried.
Also, I'd recommend picking up a kettlebell. Plenty of videos on YouTube with workouts you can follow.
Squatting requires a lot of flexibility, and not only on your hips. Your ankles need to be supple enough to support that degree. That said, a lot of "office problems" with posture take time to become minor. Squatting is an option that works your legs and glutes. But your back needs work too. Complete sports such as swimming, along with yoga for example could provide good balance! :)
This is sadly why I keep my dependencies to a minimum.

After coding for almost 20 years now, full time, I have never regretted not using a dependency. But I have regretted using one multiple times.

(the regret is like a walk of shame during the "separation and cleanup" phase at the end, which makes me question the "got work done faster" phase at the beginning....)
If I remember right, Bandcamp keeps 15% of all purchase. That felt like a lot when my old band were trying to sell our music on this platform!
Yap! In a squat position, the feet should be in the same line as the knee. So if the knees open out to the side, the feet should follow :)
I don't think we're adaptable enough to survive without food. Collapse of the food chain have happened on Earth before humans and is among possible consequences of climate change.

Same with breathable air, how would humans adapt to an athmosphere composition without oxygen as happens when earth magnetic field is weaken during geomagnetic reversals ?

My point is we are facing an ongoing mass extinction event and based on current knowledge of previous events humans being wiped out is a possibility. Based on the number of species that are extinct, extinction is not that hard specially during a mass extinction event.
It isn’t about knowing how carbon life works but understanding basic chemistry which we do.

Carbon is the atomic floozy it will hook up with a lot of other elements and can form relatively strong bonds, and it can have upto 4 bonds per carbon atom nominally.

This makes carbon the star of its little own chemistry show.

Silicon is similar to carbon in this regard which is why it is in the same column in the periodic table however it bonds with fewer elements and it’s chem requires more energy and is often less stable.

As a whole, a database-backed CGI server can be considered a state machine.
As the article states:

> At best, we might undertake ［squatting］ during Crossfit, pilates or while lifting at the gym, but only partially and often with weights (a repetitive maneuver that’s hard to imagine being useful 2.5 million years ago)

I kind of go along with that. Squatting with a bar on your back is a weird maneuver.

Yes, but that's because I'm very pessimistic about these things (on purpose).
> I found myself doing it more often when the IDE itself downloaded and linked the sources. (Lazy, I know).

Same here. It's about trivial inconveniences. I sometimes can be bothered to download and read through the codebase of a dependency, but most of the times I end up in third-party code happen when it's just a single jump-to-definition keypress away - the same keypress (M-.) which I use all the time for my code. That seamless browsing really blurs the difference.
It's not only these that have learned to keep their mouth shut. I'm even skeptical that they do. Extreme positions are uncontrollable, they demand to be heard. The more moderate, the more nuanced a position is, harder it is to put it on card board and hide your face behind it. And by moderate, nowadays, we should understand anything that is not extreme left or right. There's a deep commonality, unconscious most of the time if not always, between those extremes. That's why they only think and act and hate as if only they exist. They and their enemies.
This article uses the word “conceptions” throughout, but it sounds like the only data is about births. These births would have all occurred after the recessions started.

Did the original paper rule out the hypothesis that the recession actually affected births via an increase in miscarriages and abortions instead? I can’t access it.
actually, it's not.
We create a special page, with PHP and one with nodejs, that just replies '1', so besides status, we also get a notice if nodejs or PHP malfunctions (which does happen on some servers, 1-2 time a year).
This depends what you consider "lots of flexibility" and what you consider "squat".

No, you don't need to be a gymnast but there are still plenty of people for whom the angle of feet and width of stance is totally insufficient to do a squat below parallel because they lack the necessary hip flexibility.

If you can touch your toes with straight legs, you can probably squat below parallel for at least a short while - it's not like it takes a huge amount of flexibility. But that too still requires weeks of training for a surprising number of people.

It's not hard to get there, but to write it off as a myth is not helpful.

> Frankly, I see global action on significant greenhouse gas reductions as impossible.

I see it as inevitable.

It might now be voluntary but it will happen as eventually we will reach a point where choice will not be an option and it will be a direct consequences of the lack of cheap energy sources, lack of food, economic collapse, massive reduction in population and so on.

Doing it voluntary now would help dealing with the upcoming catastrophic events and not doing it means playing it the hard way. But eventually human production of greenhouse gases will be greatly reduced, probably to pre industrial levels.
Dear Mark Zuckerberg, Here’s $20 That I Stole from You
In 20 years you've never started work on something and after a bit said damn it I think I'll use that library that other guy developed?

If you've ever switched out dependency X for dependency Y I suppose you regretted not using Y to begin with.

If you've ever stopped working on your own solution to a problem and instead used a solution provided in a library didn't you regret not just using the library from the beginning?
Well, Knuth is a powerfull exception. Does not compare with the actual copy-paste monkey programmers, that don't even bother to real all the SO post, because people do most of the time explain the code in the solution. Sometimes the insight in the post+comments is more valuable than the code part.
With apple mucic 100% of the money goes to the label. The label then has a contract with the artist for how much online sales get sent their way. This contract may be very complicated so it isn’t necessarily “I pay $1, artist gets $.20”. Artists and labels will have different agreements with each streaming service for how many plays equal one “download”, from ~10 to ~1000.

SEPA instant will settle transactions 10 seconds. Drawbacks: banks can opt to participate, initially limited to 15k EUR, plus not obvious what the cost is. Banks are charged 1 EUR per transaction, so it'll be at least 1 EUR charged to customers.

Ask HN: Java Scheduler in a cloud environment
What schedulers are people using and enjoying? After some preliminary research it seems as if the two most appropriate choices would either be Quartz or Obsidian,

Quartz doesn't promise a lot, but it also appears low-level enough for one to build on top of it chaining, failover, and building one's own execution context. These are not pros, but rather a statement that its drawbacks can be worked around. Not looking forward to having to include JDBC job store (already have another DB-backend for other stuff) and a time-sync service just to get clustering up but I'm not surprised that it is required either.

Obsidian on the other hand seems more feature complete, I'm not sure why no-code, no-xml job configuration is spouted so strongly by its advocates as a feature as I'd rather be able to version control things but one appears to be able to do everything programmatically if one wishes. The wiki isn't complete, http://obsidianscheduler.com/wiki/Admin_Job_History#Job_History_Details and unlike Quartz there seems to be fewer resources available online on "How to do X in Obsidian".

The licensing fees aren't too enticing either.

The dream scheduler would support failover out-of-the-box, and be designed for high availability. It would have a REST API (Obsidian has it, one can be built on top of Quartz), it should be possible to chain jobs, and it should also be able to consume system events so that one could phrase jobs such as "run this job sometime after midnight as long as this event has happened"
There exists a constant, K, such that T(n) < K always holds true regardless of the input length. K is proportional to the length of the constant string “secret” and has no dependence on the input. Thus, matches_secret is O(1).

Furthermore, even though T(n) is bounded by a constant, it is not constant itself and its runtime is proportional to the amount of prefix characters the input has in common with the secret. This makes it not “constant time” in the crypto sense and it is susceptible to timing attacks.

The existence of a function that is constant time in the O(1) sense but not in the crypto sense proves that they are distinct concepts.
This article doesn't really make a case in my opinion. The only two justifications seem to be:

> So if a joint doesn’t go through its full range—if the hips and knees never go past 90 degrees—the body says ‘I’m not being used’ and starts to degenerate and stops the production of synovial fluid.”

And,

> A 2014 study in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology found that test subjects who showed difficulty getting up off the floor without support of hands, or an elbow, or leg (what’s called the “sitting-rising test”) resulted in a three-year-shorter life expectancy than subjects who got up with ease.

As far as the first one, I'd say, so what? More fluid means healthier? Why?

As far as the second one, correlation doesn't prove causation. We should stop pretending this is the case with everything.

Believe me when I tell you that no one misremembers the Cheney Administration. We just didn't think it could get any worse.
Yes, but:

- Climate change requires sweeping regulations.

- Regulation change needs politicians that care about the issue.

- Politicians care when their voters base cares.

- In order to the population in general to really care, not just by mouth, their value system needs to change, so they no longer accept doing nothing.

The best way for one to have impact in all that chain is to leverage it, instead of only addressing "we need sweeping regulation". To make that, one can make visible changes in his/her behaviour, and make others reevaluate how they act and value things.

If we don't have a "sustainable" frame of mind on a daily basis, when confronted to what is good or bad regulation, it takes intellectual effort to recognize that we need to think long-term. If we start using sustainable mindframes, even when thinking about e.g. server resources, it will be more automatic. However, if we daily use "another will care for that, let us think about the right now" mindframes, it will be more difficult. And our modern society pushes a lot towards the "right now" way of thinking... because, on the short term, it yields more gains.

That argument was made very early on in Mary Shelley's career, it didn't really stand up then and there's not much reason to think it stands up now.

Percy Shelley clearly contributed to the novel, but then Mary was Percy's editor also.
Squats under load are pretty fundamental. Carrying a killed deer on your back, or stone, clay, or a mate or a child all require effective loaded squats.
In a similar vein, I often wonder just how many people actually check cryptographic algorithms. We'd all probably agree that it is good not to roll your own crypto algorithms, or even in implementation of known crypto such as AES. But how many experts in the world are there for AES and secure hashing? A lot of the major MD5 and SHA1 work all came from Marc Stevens' team. How many experts are there in this field, really? "Provable security" is another issue: Shoup, Menezes and Koblitz have all expressed concern about the current state of the art, I think.
Bodyweight fitness is awesome! It also trains a lot more muscles at the same time when doing a single exercise.

For the doubters who think you need heavy weights, try to do:

- 1 arm pull-ups

- 1 arm, 1 foot pushups

- Dragon flag (for abs)

- 1 leg squats (pistol squats)

Of those I can only do the 1 leg squats and 1 arm-1 foot pushups (working on the rest ;)).

Also search YouTube for "calisthenics" to get a bunch of stuff you can do. There are things from absolute beginners to insane.
I thought candy was delicious CO2 intensive food. Not a complete lifestyle.

Although, food is just one part of the equation. I've never said diet is the only change necessary to make. A person in the first world would do more by not using AC and heating than switching to a different diet, so one might optimize there. Although, not many want to optimize there, so it's easier to change the diet if they wish to lower their footprint.
This is already happening. I bought an album(Requiem for my friend by Zbigniew Preisner) from bandcamp couple years ago. Now i wanted to buy a new album but the artist is not publishing lossless music on bandcamp anymore. It's all the big streaming providers.
So the author says Thiel's message is that there will be more regulation of the tech industry, as if that is unquestionably a bad thing. But we've all seen how the industry, like any large scale human activity, is subject to manipulations that work against the public good, and specifically the good of its own users. At this point it seems like many industry leaders acknowledge the need for regulation, and as is historically the case with other industries, are seeking to work with the government to design regulations that will (ideally) strengthen consumer protections but not create undue burdens. Thiel appears to be staunchly libertarian and so for him regulation per se is a negative development, but there are certainly other ways to view the interaction between public and private sectors. I get the sense that lots of people working in tech can see the case for why a bit more oversight wouldn't hurt.
Any position maintained for long periods of time is a stress on your muscles (sitting, squatting, ...).

People tend to think that sitting is "not doing anything" but your muscles ARE working to keep you upright. The wonkier you're sitting, the worse the effects will be.

I struggled with lower back pain for over 5 years, visited lots of doctors / physios / chiropractors and nobody could give any decent advice. "You're too old" (at 38!), "it's the electromagnetic rays from your computer screen!".

In the end what helped me was a routine of body strength exercises that I developed myself from online research and with the help of a young physio who finally knew what he was doing.

I'm now basically pain free, as long as I do my routine 2 or ideally 3x per week.

I highly recommend anyone struggling with lower back pain to build up a simple routing of core strengthening exercises.
The difference is when it's a percent or 5 of population. Or when it's vast majority of that population.

In general population, we just lock them up, try to isolate from old friends and get their life back on track. For gypsies, their whole culture is immersed in that. We can either change their culture or leave them as-is. But if we leave them as-is, they stay outcasts. And then we get blamed for not integrating them :)

Racism in what way? That we don't want to let gypsies live in antisocial ways? I confident I don't have any problems with gypsies as long as they live like productive members of society. And I hate stealing drug-dealing scums equally no matter what their ethnicity or culture is.

If a gypsy gets clean and wants to join the society, nothing stops them. If a gypsy comes in regular clothes, it'd be hard to tell them someone is a gypsy and not just darker skin.

Of course, it's easiest to use racism card all the time. But sometimes the problem is the unfortunate culture.

Not only that but Zurich has been a drug hotspot in the 80s; we had cocaine, heroine, and, we believe, we found out how to fight it: https://www.pri.org/stories/2016-02-12/us-can-learn-lot-zuri...

Now it changed for the better but still the drug scene is relatively big and cocaine is used a lot both by youngsters 18-25 yrs olds and probably also by bankers.
