I have heard the same thing from other fitness nuts. I'm pretty into health and fitness myself. I'll try to find a reference. Cardio before and after to warm up and cool down your heart. No stretching before. Deep stretching after.

Look at results from this search: http://www.google.com/search?q=dont+stretch+before+weightlif...

Here's an example from : http://www.bodybuildingforyou.com/articles-submit/tanja-gard...

"For strength training, there’s evidence that stretching before a workout is counter-productive. Strength training requires muscles to contract tightly against a heavy weight, and loosening the muscle fibres by stretching them first reduces their ability to do this. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t warm your muscles up before strength training – just avoid stretching them first. If you want to include stretching in the same workout as strength training, it’s better to wait until after you’ve finished your weights work."

I think of Ping as a marketing aid for the artists. Eliminate the middle-man. How many musicians can pull off a social media marketing campaign for themselves? Once Apple does this for them and the common wisdom in music-related circles is 'you gotta work Ping to sell tunes', the labels are toast. It's an indirect marketing education campaign for the upcoming generation of musicians.

I'd say it depends on if your engineering talent is vastly superior today than what it was when it was written. Even then it's so risky. It's probably always better to do it incrementally even if it takes twice as long to do so, because you can maintain working software and fix bugs as you go.

The approach I would take is to get the minimum set of engineers who know the most about each major aspect of the code, and put their heads together on what the ideal architecture would be. But rather than building it from scratch, figure out how to implement just one of those pieces now. That way you can decrease entropy in the codebase piecemeal without chucking out all the code at once, which is no doubt full of forgotten assumptions that no one will remember until it's too late.
If you just want it for https wouldn't a low cost ssl cert work? Like say comodo positive ssl which is only like 10 dollars a domain (but doesn't do subdomains, though neither does your godaddy one it seems, I didn't check the others).

These also don't require you to send in business papers.

If they are all subdomains a wildcard ssl cert would work.

The plural of "anecdote" is not — actually, we don't even need a plural here.

That case is interesting, but I'm not sure it proves anything. There are natural-born girls who have a similar aversion to girliness. It's just not the norm. The life story of one person (particularly someone with a family history of mental illness) just doesn't seem like valid grounds for such a broad conclusion.

Absolutely - as a business owner I want the complete ability to customize things and deploy whatever apps on there that do whatever I want, whenever I want. I don't want nobody telling me what to do. And no, requiring 500 employees or using 90 day ad hoc deployment is not nearly satisfactory. Not to mention that your average enterprise has a bajillion lines of java code that, it just so happens (with the exception of UI, obviously), runs nearly without modification on Android.

One thing I am hoping for (and looking forward to) is a 2nd wave of Android devices which are dedicated special purpose tools. At some point cheap hardware that runs Android is going to become so pervasive that it will start showing up in everything from desk calculators to portable POS applications to medical devices. The attraction of being able to take the raw source code and specialize it for whatever task you have at hand while leveraging the huge Android ecosystem is amazing. This has yet to happen but I really hope it will.

> ...however, most people are at least somewhat dehydrated a large majority of the time.

No. From sources described at http://www.snopes.com/medical/myths/8glasses.asp:

Kidney specialists do agree on one thing, however: that the 8-by-8 rule is a gross overestimate of any required minimum.

"The notion that there is widespread dehydration has no basis in medical fact," says Dr. Robert Alpern, dean of the medical school at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. Doctors from a wide range of specialties agree: By all evidence, we are a well-hydrated nation. Furthermore, they say, the current infatuation with water as an all-purpose health potion — tonic for the skin, key to weight loss — is a blend of fashion and fiction and very little science.

From an LA Times reader:

The advice fully meets three important criteria for being an American health urban legend: excess, public virtue, and the search for a cheap "magic bullet."

I largely agree with the conclusion, but where are all these people who claim that women working non-tech jobs in tech companies magically count as tech jobs? This is the first time I've ever heard the issue framed this way. I've always heard it framed as a problem with the number of women choosing CS and math degrees and making it out to industry.

I would advocate an incremental rewrite of parts of the unmaintainable spaghetti classic asp until there's none of the spaghetti left. It's easier to rewrite part of a system than an entire system.

Release to production dozens, if not hundreds of times. Releases are non-events, rollbacks are non-events.

A system-wide ground-up rewrite with a big-bang switchover at the end is a classic clusterfuck recipe. It's a shame that so many people think it's a good idea, even in 2010.

Yes, most IT depts likes to control things but there is a certain point were they have to bow to the hand that feeds them ("the business" departments that pay their bills). The iPad would be easier to justify for these users as it is a new genre of productivity devices.

In a way, the one-time migration might be harder than near-realtime bidirectional synchronization. That way, you could move portions of users to the new system and back as needed.

Let me guess - the problem is about the difference between theory and practice.

In theory, Java is great and Cassandra is great. In practice - Java under a heavy load is a disaster, because it was never designed for it, and Cassandra is a just a hype and propaganda.

Face the reality - it doesn't work in production as it supposed to - as a primary storage engine.

People at the Digg aren't amateur idiots, so I think they do everything as it described in docs, but the damn thing just doesn't work.
Very true. Since it has been x86 specific from the start, that will be hard to do. PNaCl is trying to get there, by making LLVM architecture-agnostic, but it's an experiment at this point. And even if it does end up working some day, it may or may not get into other web browsers than Chrome, not to mention iPhones.

Personally I suspect JavaScript (or a subset of it) will get to the speed of native code sooner than we can run native code in a cross platform way in most of our browsers.
Imagine what crazy technology we'd have if more spectrum was available for free-for-all access. Generally I think the FCC does a reasonable job, but I really doubt FM radio is really the best use of that huge swath of beautiful spectrum.

They should think about pulling out little regions of spectra normally used for other things and let the market try to do things with them without restriction. They might end up too saturated to be useful, but we might develop smarter receivers and a cornucopia of new products. It's worth a 1% A/B test I think.
Companies like Etsy insist they are still startups, too - five years, $55 million dollars in funding, tens of millions in revenue, and 130 employees later. I don't buy it, either. They are an established business, but routinely use this 'startup' label as an excuse.
it's an attempt to control the PR message.

by doing this, they are laying the blame on one person so the media can stop hating Digg and start hating the ex-VP of Engineering who "killed Digg".

of course, whether he was actually responsible in some way is something we may never know. for all we know he may have been completely against releasing v4 but was vetoed by Rose et al. or on the other hand he may have overpromised and under-delivered, putting the company in jeopardy, in which case he deserves to be let go.

it's all speculation until we hear an official comment from either side.

Being a startup isn't about the company, it's about the product. There are startup teams at fortune 500 companies. A startup company is a company with one new product in development.

Personally, I don't consider Digg a startup.
One solution to the "many characters sounding the same" problem was turning Chinese into a tonal language. I guess technically that makes them sound different. but even with tones (in modern mandarin Chinese there are 4 tones; in older time there were more; Cantonese reportedly still has 9).

Even with tones though, there are still too many characters sounding exactly the same. In a Chinese dictionary (you might want to pause for a moment and imagine what a Chinese dictionary looks like. if you come across an unknown English word in writing, you can look it up by spelling. but what's the equivalent thing to do for a chinese character?), under any one sound specification, you can easily find 10-20 characters.

where I disagree is that, yes, classic written Chinese is tricky to understand, but not in the sense that they are mostly one-syllable words. they are tricky to understand in the same sense that Shakespearean (or Chaucerian) English was tricky to understand to modern English speakers - due to unfamiliar vocabulary and old-style grammar. if this opinion is valid, I further propose that, when the Chinese talk, they might rely more heavily on semantics to parse sentences in real-time, since based on sound alone there might be too many character candidates. in other words, they use what's being talked about to do some pretty heavy-handed proning as they process incoming syllables.
> For some reason I feel like you're competing with WordPress.

If you consider that both provide hosted websites, then yes. But WordPress (and possibly others) themes generally look too bloggy. Case in point: I was contemplating porting some WordPress themes across, but I had trouble finding ones that I thought would be suitable for my target market.

I would look at a WordPress theme and ask myself 'Would I run my small business website using this theme?', think about it, and answer 'Probably not'.

> There are many small businesses who run off of cheap $5 hosting and a free opensource CMS

Presumably, there are just as many small businesses who don't know how to run off cheap $5 hosting, or what an open source CMS is. For them, the entry barrier to setup a SiteFont site is much lower (or at least, so the conjecture goes).
So, why not just pay to Cassandra's authors for a quick fix? Because they can't?
;)

I'll let the meme die now. Doing it in a before filter would have the same effect -- unnecessarily increasing the latency before the headers are sent to the web browser. Wether the time is spent in a before filter or a controller action, the key is that the time is being spent before the headers are delivered to the browser. If you are trying to minimize the time it takes to return the header, then you'll want to do that before almost anything else.
On the first part: See my other post for more, but basically, much (not all) of the homonymy is from older and/or written-only forms; and yes, ch and q don't sound any closer to a native Mandarin speaker than, say, sh and s do to a native English speaker or u and ou to a native French speaker.

On the second part: no defined measure that I know of. It would be a little tricky in that language is a moving target, everyone speaks it slightly differently, and even for a single speaker the "location" of a particular phone is more of a probability distribution even after you factor out varying context. That said, there definitely are charts that map out the space and take a stab at identifying the prototype location of each phone in the sound space, so it's not entirely implausible that you could summarise that with a distance measure. I strongly suspect that the value of the measure would not vary much among languages with similar-size phoneme inventories, though.
I say any money borrowed should be approved of by the voters and paid down within half the useful life of the thing built. And each taxpayer should get a separate bill each year for their share.

There's no justification for dragging out the payment periods forever. Its not like this borrowing is a one time thing as it is when you buy your house.

And there's also no reason the taxpayer should have to subsidize sports fans or help raise the salaries of athletes, which this practice most certainly does. Its a subsidy for sports teams, which gives them more money to outbid each other for the top players.
Here's actual data: http://sites.nationalacademies.org/PGA/cwsem/PGA_049131

What "natural disinclination" do you think women have, exactly? They don't like math? Women received 47% of math undergrad degrees in 2002 and that number has been stable for 20 years. They don't like computers? The physical sciences use computers pretty heavily, and women received 42% of undergraduates degrees in those fields in 2002, compared to 28% in 1983. They don't like the geeky sci-fi image? 42% of astronomy degrees went to women in 2002, compared to 25% in 1983.

Engineering degrees are still male dominated, women only got 20% of those, but that's still 7 points higher than the 1983 number. The percentage of computer science degrees that went to women decreased from 36% in 1983 to 27% in 2002, to 18% in 2008.

At least we can agree that there's something unique about computer science that it goes against the trend.
Part of the reason for this is certainly the fact that the product itself is not particularly extraordinary.

The other part is that she is no Steve Jobs. Marketing, and more specifically _believing_ in your product, makes all the difference.
I have never liked exercise, and I have never liked dieting, but I had a rude wakeup call about the wages of "curry and a fried porkchop" four days a week plus a sedentary lifestyle a few years ago. My physician said that, at that rate, I would be lucky to make it to 30, despite the fact that I was skinny like a beanpole.

So I started going to the gym. I despise actually being at the gym and exercising. But it makes me feel drastically better: I have more energy now, I get sick less, and my general comportment no longer suggests illness to friends and family. I even get more work done on days I go to the gym, since it refreshes my mental batteries and contributes more than a minute of marginal thinking time for every minute I spend there.

But even if the energy/health/acuity benefits don't do it for you, take a look around you at the people who would miss you if you were gone, and go to the gym for them. Aside from quitting smoking (don't smoke, but quit if you do!) it is the cheapest way to buy extra time with your loved ones.

Microsoft could be one example of a successful one. Their flagship Windows codebase that ran the 3.1->95->98->ME line was basically ditched with the rewrite-from-scratch NT (famously done by an ex-VMS team), which later had some APIs ported to it to make Windows 2000 and especially XP be close to drop-in replacements for the old line, while not really sharing much code. I think in retrospect that was probably a good idea: the NT rewrite put the codebase on much better footing than the aging, incrementally updated classic Windows codebase had been.

Solaris is another example of a rewrite that seems to have worked, though the rewrite did derive from a different set of existing code, not a total from-scratch job. But the classic SunOS 1.x.-4.x codebase was ditched, and SunOS 5.x / "Solaris 2" replaced it.
