"a bit more complicated to keep track of"

Note to new lifters: Most important tool to buy is a spiral notebook and ballpoint pen; plan out all your exercises, sets, and weights before going to the gym, do reps for each set till muscle failure then write down the number of reps achieved, and use that historical set data to design next gym visit, this is the worlds simplest lifting program.

Another general note about "programs" is lifting is much like diet in that there are some plans that are very simple and some that are very complicated and both CAN work well although which works best for which person requires experiment. For example there are extremely complicated diet programs with incredible attention to detail and discipline, and then there's "Don't eat it if your ancestors couldn't eat it" and both can work very well (although one sells many more books than the other...).

Likewise the ridiculous simple workout plan is, on the short term, do about three sets with a five minute break in between, a warmup, max, and somewhat less than max, and on the long term plan your workouts such that you get muscle failure at over a dozen reps on the warmup set, and about 7 reps on the max set and 3rd set. Barrels of ink have been spilled on the topic of do two sets vs three sets or aim for muscle failure at exactly 15 for warmup as opposed to 12 or power lifters should max at 4 reps vs body builders should max at precisely 9 reps. All of which is probably true for various individuals in various situations. A better use of your time than reading and researching all that, is make very small changes to that, then look at your spiral notebook and see what is working for you personally.

The only other programs or rules to follow apply to all plans, its very hard to hurt yourself by moving too smooth, or too light of a weight, but the opposite is not true.
Yeah, thanks for the feedback! Yeah, we are aware of a some of the 4K video issues. We're also working on allowing more file formats in the app. I don't have an ETA for you, but it is in the works.
It's interesting that Russian immigration to the U.S. drastically drops around 1920 which is half way through the Russian Civil War.
What fraction of the US has fiber to the home? It must be far, far smaller than Lativa's 50%!
Humanity star was an attempt. We might be able to keep one in orbit for a few years. I doubt astronomers would be happy about it, however. But I'd also contribute money.
No, it would require a new type of consumer. RSS can carry a list of URLs just fine, as a degenerate case of RSS. RSS does not itself mandate that the content of the RSS must be displayed in "some sort of feed reader".

The good news is that means you don't have to wait. You can write that now. It will work on existing RSS feeds, just not quite as optimally for your proposed use case as you might personally like, but it will still work. It will work even better on yours, which will also work in conventional RSS readers.

Now, you might have problems getting "the real page content" from your URLs, but that's a separate problem. (History strongly suggests the large-scale content producers would actively fight you if you try, because you'll probably be trying to strip their ad revenue either deliberately or accidentally as part of what you'd be doing. Which is, after all, the reason why RSS is already not terribly favored by that crowd and why they want you in closed gardens of their own devising... unfortunately getting around this problem is a great deal more difficult than hypothesizing that some sort of new standard could somehow deal with it....)
Take from this what you can take from many studies of this sort: Eggs have a fair amount of nutrition, and there's no sign of significant downsides or vast advantages to eating them in moderation.

It's unlikely that any reputable study is going to show them as a surprise miracle superfood, and if you're consuming them as a major part of your diet that's not "in moderation" and this study is not relevant to you.

Thank you. I've been disturbed by much (though not all) of the coverage of this as if it's a complete repeal of Dodd-Frank.
> The UK’s fibre to the home infrastructure is so poor it’s out-performed by almost every other country in Europe (Latvia, with 50.6 per cent fibre coverage, ranks first in terms of market penetration).

The reason the UK is on a mix of copper and fiber is because the entrenched monopoly, BT, didn't think fiber to the home (FTTH) was worth investing in. To protect their investment in their existing copper network, they pushed tech like VDSL/FTTC (up to 80Mbps) and now G.Fast (up to 500Mbps), which are "fiber to the cabinet" but the last mile is copper. The problem is, speeds fall off depending on how far your home is from the cabinet. I've seen many non-technical consumers be disappointed and say "the ISP said I can only get 11Mbps but they advertise up to 80Mbps".

BT have now been told by the telecoms regulator to prioritize deploying fiber to the home. Also, serious money is now pouring into alternative network providers. CityFibre, which is installing its own gigabit-grade fiber network in about 30 UK cities (so home users in all these cities can be offered FTTH), was recently acquired by a consortium with fairly deep pockets. BT, which historically was the entrenched monopoly, is no longer the sole arbiter of the UK's broadband future.
How to build and manage an effective team
The rationale is that the path end-to-end, measured in miles, is mostly fibre. But of course that is neither here nor there; if you do dialup with a 14.4 modem then actually that will be mostly fibre too because that’s what the trunks are!

What physically goes into your house is what the vendors should be required to describe it as.

Which proves the commentor’s first point:

“It's inevitable you will have multiple languages / platforms comprising your stack.”
This completely understates the tech world outside of SF/SV/NYC. There are tons of tech jobs outside of these locations. And the pay differential isn't even close to compensating for the increased cost of living in the bubble cities.

And sure, it can be tough to find a tech job that lasts 10+ years. But that's true of a lot of jobs. Tech jobs don't have to be in "tech" companies. Lots of businesses have tech jobs in house; insurance, healthcare, etc etc. Unless you have a burning desire to work for the FAANGs of the world, there's a billion tech jobs out there.

I've worked on a pretty large, very stored proc-heavy app based on SQL Server for several years, and separation of business logic has never been much of an issue.

Keeping logic in stored procedures is, in practice, not much different from putting it in a separate function. If your app is data-driven, like the one I work with, most of your business logic can be done in stored procedures. Most any sort of data transform is likely better done in SQL than another language, unless your data is a poor fit for a relational database.

We have had issues with version control in the past. I'm currently working on implementing a CI and Git workflow using Jenkins and Red Gate tools, which I expect will make keeping our database in source control trivial. To be fair, though, I'm still working out the last of the kinks, so it may end up being more difficult than I thought.

As far as having to learn another language, I've always found that to be an incredibly weak excuse to use JavaScript everywhere. Learning another programming language isn't difficult, and having the right tool for the job is indispensable. Given that JavaScript these days seems to go by "flavor of the week", I don't that think not being able to learn is a problem.

I don't find the argument that it's difficult to switch between languages to be convincing, either. Switching between two programming languages that you know isn't any more difficult than switching between a programming language and a spoken one.
A couple of things:

1. Those particular animals would not be alive. I was replying to a comment about the quality of life of those particular animals.

2. Regarding the point that other animals would take their place: isn’t this an argument against veganism? Life in a state of nature is brutal and not at all what I would classify as clearly better than life under domestication.
People usually get hired to use a particular primary language (though even then, I've worked in jobs where I was hired for Java that ended up switching to Scala mainly due to developer preference), but often have broad discretion over which languages to use for secondary tasks. Certainly in a lot of "Java shops" the pattern I've seen is that devs will not be second-guessed (or at least, will contribute to team consensus) in their choice of bash/python/ruby/scala/... for things like testing scripts or data migration tools, nor in their choice of coffeescript/typescript/... for frontend parts.
The UK could have had world leading broadband were it not for Mrs T. She decided BT's late 1980s decision to rollout fibre was anti-competitive and killed it in 1990 when we were pretty much leading the world [0].

So the grindingly slow reality of ADSL isn't especially surprising sadly.

There's a big obstacle to Delphi adoption that people below have mentioned: Cost. Even the starter pack has a limit of $1000 in revenue, and Delphi costs $3000 or so. I'm never going to use Delphi if it means that five years later, my app that costs $3 and makes a sale a week will need me to spend $3000 licensing it or open me up to lawsuits.

I like Autodesk's license for Fusion, it's free to use (the full version) until you're making $100,000 in yearly revenues, after which it costs some amount of money. If I were making $100k in revenues (and probably well before that), I would happily pay for the tool that's making me money, but paying 3x my revenue for the IDE/language is hilariously prohibitive. There's also no way in hell I'm going to spend $3000 for a hobby project that may or may not make $100 during its lifetime.

It's too bad, too, because I remember how easy and quick developing in VB4/VB5 was, so Delphi sounds great on paper, and I would definitely use it to develop at least some applications if it weren't so expensive.
It's at least a 95% solution; I don't know about 100%, in the face of the ability to delete items and modify timestamps after they've been posted.

yeah. i personally struggle sometimes to answer the question "Why do you want to work for XYZ company?"

and that's because so much of why i want to work at a company boils down to the specific tasks and working conditions and the specific people i will interact with in that specific job. the overall company seems like a small factor a lot of times.

also it's hard to know much about some new, private, very small startup anyway. how much info can i really obtain about something that small and that private?
I'm gonna get downvoted for this but we can do better than this when discussing the negatives of Trump. We can raise the bar for journalism:

"It is u͟n͟k͟n͟o͟w͟n͟ exactly what is the security protocol maintained by the White House over the phones of President Trump" - Entire Headline is acknowledged to be possibly true at best

"Politico s͟p͟e͟c͟u͟l͟a͟t͟e͟s͟ that Trump did not want to submit to the same regularity..." - Not fact, Opinion

"when he assured that the email servers of the candidate to the White House were easy to hack and did not have the Necessary security protocols, action with which he reproached him had endangered the entire country, according to Politico." - Not a Sentence

"When Barack Obama came to the White House, he asked his technicians to find a way to keep his BlackBerry" -- "according to a 2016 interview with Jimmy Fallon." - Jimmy Fallon dug deep into Obama's Phone use? Really? He's not exactly a hard-hitting journalist. I looked up the interview and he asks 1 vague question.
Yes, and gave a private company the right to roll out its own infrastructure. Said private company put infrastructure in a few very high concentration areas during the 90s and did nothing since. It's almost as if natural monopolies actually exist.

You could always make a preinstall script that deletes the folder for that one dependency, then run install.

I've heard that there are three important questions to answer:

What is it?
How does it work?
Why should I care?

The first one is both the most important and often the hardest one for a developer to get right. It's hard for the developer to get it right because at launch the developer has been living with the project for a long time and they know (in detail) what it is. When someone like me lands on the page, all I have is "Lackid" which means nothing to me.

For a project aimed at technical people, being dull and factual can be best. At a glance, tell them what problem it solves. Putting information on another page to generate clicks and up engagement metrics won't drive sales.

Good luck.

I have a very hard time believing you can learn a "new human language" without dedicating 2 years of evenings and weekends to it in an optimized manner or moving to the country for a year or two. I like how people casually mention "When I learn a new language." It's hard to stay proficient in a couple of languages, let alone "casually" learning new ones.

Same goes for programming. If you don't believe me, note how most, even educated immigrants, either don't fully pick up English or forget a lot of their mother tongue. And yes, Europeans do generally know three languages, because they learn them early and for a long time.
Because comments like that accompany the most trivial bits of the codebase, while the thousand line monkey-patched crap has zero comments.

> After all, most films don't need recognizable motifs, they just need music to tell us how to feel

Not trying to pick a fight with you - I agree with your comment overall, but this is a culturally learned thing, very specific to Western movies and TV-series, and it is actually mildly infuriating to me. It is one thing to complement the emotions present in a scene, but being told what to feel is basically a cheap way to try to patch up bad storytelling.

Worse, it can totally backfire: for the dub of Castle in the Sky, the original composer had to fill in a ton of quiet scenes with music because (IIRC) Disney was worried about the audience feeling awkward about not being told what to feel. They also added background chatter, and worst of all: filled in scenes that were quiet on purpose with all of these things. While the orchestral score sounds great in and of itself, in most scenes all that added audio ruined the mood of the original.

However, I can't deny that what you state is what the audience expects, and that it "works", so sadly you're still right.
Thank you for clarifying. Even this native English speaker was confused.

In my partial defense, concluding something like "eating up to but less than one egg per day is inversely associated with CVD risk" is odd and somewhat defies common sense.

My incorrect translation is a good reminder for me that scientific language doesn't always easily translate into conversational language.

> I'm not saying that culture doesn't exist but it exists in the decisions that are made by the people who run the companies themselves, they set the tone and precedent for how the company works and the employees take note and follow.

Corporate culture provides a framework for understanding why managers make the decisions they do, and for employees, peers, and the public to hold managers accountable for the decisions they make.

If your opinion is that the people who run companies have no constraints or influences on their decisions, I would strongly disagree with you. The Tylenol example shows the power of culture--it gave J&J leadership the license (but also the pressure) to set the correct priorities when making decisions on how to handle it.

There's a book called The Leadership Moment by Michael Useem that I really like. About half the stories in it pertain to corporate culture either positively (Merck) or negatively (Salomon Brothers).

A classic example of a difference in corporate culture (how employees contribute to quality) is illustrated by this story from This American Life:

I'm not really sure what is your point. I was not suggesting partitioning alone is a load-balancing solution, but that partitioning in combination with other features is a powerful scalability feature. Assuming there is a (1) way to keep the partitions withing some size limit automatically, and (2) the partitioning scheme is such that the queries can leverage the partitioning scheme (eliminate most partitions, join tables partitioned in the same way).

We don't have (1) yet - at least not in core PostgreSQL, but this part should be doable in an extension until it gets into the core. We do have (2) to a large extent, although I'm sure there are gaps and room for improvement.

And when combined with ability to place partitions to other hots, that will be another step.

No one is claiming partitioning alone magically solves scalability, but IMHO it's an important building block in doing that (for a large class of applications).
I'm not missing the point. I've just been around a while and have seen this fat client/thin client, "painless" cross platform, and other related buzzword soup discussion time and again. Too many times to be suckered by the modern incarnation.

Absolutely, but in the complete opposite direction, don't give up looking for answers.

The quality of people you see, and their willingness to look for answers, will vary DRAMATICALLY. There is joke, what do you call the person who finished last in medicine? Doctor.

If no one is finding an answer to your problem, dedicated research yourself is liable to be a LOT more effective than ten minutes with a trained professional who is not that interested or willing to do any real research.

I agree strength training is life changing, but it can aggravate some RSIs. My RSI was similar to tennis elbow and it was from irritating the nerves in elbow from movement. The only solution is to stop flexing the elbow (rest). I fixed it by using 1) trackball mouse, 2) keyboard without num pad (less movement to get to mouse), 3) vim text editor and excel without mouse.

You need to get out and help people. Learning a programming language without having anybody to help is like learning algebra without having any context of where/how to use it. It's perhaps a nice intellectual exercise, but you're missing out on the most important part.

Programming is mostly symbolic and mathematical. I love math and symbols. Fun stuff.

Making stuff for people is mostly, well, people.

Guess which one of these is more difficult?

You really learn a language when you're knee-deep in framework code, fuzzy requirements, conflict among stakeholders and the team -- and you've got to make something happen this week. Not when you're doing puzzles online.

Since you asked, in general if you feel like you've mastered an OOP language, I'd recommend going functional. F# worked for me because when I use F# correctly, the language/toolset helps teach me how to be more functional. Pure FP is always the goal, but you can do it in OCAML/F# and I don't think jumping right into something like Elixir or Haskell would have been as people-friendly. (Back to humans again)

In short, languages are great. Show me you learn a few. But that's 1%. 99% is people and problems. Show me you have lots of experience dealing with that while grokking out on the math and symbolic stuff and I couldn't care less which languages you know.

Buying a house in a rural area is a nightmare as you don't really know in advance what speed you will get and the speeds quoted on sites like Rightmove are for entire postcodes - not the property in question.

We bought a house last year in a rural area in Scotland - not far from Edinburgh and were appalled at the broadband options. We get 20Mbps down and 1 up which is enough for most things (barely) but that was one of the fastest speeds we saw (apart from one house in the wilds of Perthshire that had 400Mpbs....).
This seems more like a story of "don't store database backups in publicly accessible folders"
