Everyone has a different anecdotal experience.

I hurt the ulnar nerve in my left hand in 2013 bicycling. The doctor put me into a brace and put me on some strong muscle relaxants for 2 weeks. I went to work and typed with the brace on under the influence of the drugs. I already had a long history (20+ years of regular weight training) and was really fit. I had previous moments of discomfort over the years from bad keyboards or overly cold office environments and such but nothing serious. This was at a point where I'd been on the computer a lot for 20 years or so.

When I got out of the brace and off the drugs I immediately had full blown RSI in both arms. According to the doctor it looked like I had tendonitis in the flexor muscles.

I went through everything they asked and nothing worked. I could "manage" but was annoyed every day at work. All kinds of keyboards and pointing devices didn't help much. The most helpful thing was using a foam roller to massage the muscles of my forearms. This was not something suggested by the doctors or PT, which was really annoying. The foam roller works better than having a person massage your arms or use the ultrasound treatment on your arms. Most of the physical exercises they prescribed & stretching made things worse!

At some point I discovered drinking black/green tea was causing the muscles in my arms to tighten up. It was causing it throughout my whole body but for some reason that didn't really cause any symptoms in other parts of my body.

When I eliminated the tea the symptoms started going away within a day or two and then my forearms slowly got stronger and stronger over time. I was able to get back to all the exercise/weight training/cycling, etc.. pretty quickly. I had never really stopped the exercise anyway but it always caused inflammation until I got off the tea. Maybe the tea had a circulatory effect on me, who knows.

It was not caffeine. I can drink all the coffee/soda/energy drinks I want without the symptoms returning. I don't drink that much of them but whatever it was, it's not caffeine, it's one of the other compounds in tea, of which there are a lot and of which most are not that well understood.

Not to mention, didn't Apple just build a billion dollar new headquarters building that was the subject of countless fawning articles?
Ditto. I suffered for a year until a nerve conductivity test revealed nothing abnormal. That made the Sarno diagnosis (TMS) easy to accept, and within a week of reading his book my pain was 90% gone, and within a month it was no longer noticeable. Now and then I'll get pins and needles, but in general I can type in any position I want for hours.

Recently I have been struggled with other health issues, and it took me a long time to realize that they may be psychosomatic as well. Once I started applying the same techniques, I saw real, permanent improvement in my symptoms for the first time. It's not an overnight cure, but if you stick with it, the results are just astonishing. Has anyone else in this thread cured non-RSI issues using the Sarno method?

陆奇：一个完美主义者的退出
“去内网发起一个倡议，定制一款T恤，上面写：Qi我们一起工作过”，昨日有部分百度员工向新京报记者表示。这个倡议与陆奇当初离开雅虎时如出一辙，雅虎员工曾经就定制了这样的一款T恤。不过到目前为止，这个倡议只是部分员工的想法，百度内网上还没人真正发起号召。并且目前百度要求大家不要在内网讨论陆奇离职的消息了。

在任不到500天，作为空降兵的陆奇，为何会受到不少百度员工的肯定？一些受访者给出了“科研大神”、“工作狂”等常见的标签，还勾勒出了“典型的处女座”、“完美主义者”等侧面。还有受访者表示，陆奇具有很强的执行力，“真诚为公司着想”，而不是像之前空降的职业经理人只会顾及自己的利益。

从雅虎到微软再到百度，陆奇一直给业界以“完人”的形象。此番出局，广受业界关注。陆奇在5月21日亲自否认了外界盛传的“内斗”戏，但对于百度而言，一个“完美主义者”的退出意味着什么？烧钱的AI能否留在百度的第一象限？陆奇又将向何处去？
Yeah, so it's not fibre, and should not be sold as such. Not saying HFC is bad (it's actually an awesome way of reusing a deprecated cable TV network), but it's not fibre.

HFC for example is a shared medium across the entire neighbourhood, and in fact if you get root access on your modem and run tcpdump on the HFC interface you may see everyone else's packets as well - there's optional encryption built into DOCSIS but I've never seen it enabled.
The cause of my RSI was using arm rests on the chair and resting the wrists on the desk. It led to scrunching up my shoulders which ended up causing severe neck and shoulder soreness. This setup also caused pain in the underside of my forearm when using the mouse for extended periods of time.

So I got rid off arm rests on my chair and put the keyboard and mouse on a tray and put the tray on my lap. That was the neutral resting position for my arms. And it got rid of my RSI for the most part.

If you've tried other options for your RSI and still can't find respite, check if typing from your lap alleviates pain. You can test this using a laptop. If using your laptop on your lap for long periods feels less stressful as opposed to typing and mousing from your desk, it means the least stressful position for your arms is at the level of your lap.
I'm not convinced that there are real business partnerships between Fread and these journals. It's likely that this just violates their ToS by reselling a single subscription
Yup. To invoke the inevitable car analogy, if your problem is it takes too long to get to 40mph from a standing start at the lights, upgrading from 200mph to 250mph top speed won't necessarily help. Even more so if the problem is sometimes it won't start on a cold morning or there aren't enough seats.

The pro-fibre lobby is convinced that somehow 1Gbps will enable an as yet undetermined application and countries where people have 40Mbps will get left behind. But the application doesn't exist. I had 1Gbps for several years, now I have 40Mbps. It's not just that I don't miss it, I don't even notice. I could easily afford faster, but I could also easily afford a giant cardboard Han Solo, and I didn't buy that either.

Reliability matters, but in practice copper reliability isn't bad enough to be a significant factor compared to consumer gear.

Latency matters, but most of the work needed there is in consumer gear, not in the last mile or elsewhere in ISP networks.
It is a common observation that SV leanings vary when you look at social issues vs. looking at business concerns.
> I keep seeing people putting Lets Encrypt down.

That was not my intent at all. I use and love Lets Encrypt's service.

The comment was intended more around the fact that the US Military (and many large businesses) would never, and should never, rely on a free service like that.

Lets Encrypt is great, I love it, I'd personally use it for business - but if I'm that large, I'm going to need a support contract + binding SLA + etc with every IT vendor - Lets Encrypt doesn't do these.
Tech companies don't want H1B to become citizens because then they would have no leverage to drive down wages for software engineers. They want indentured servants, not citizens.

I don't know why you got downvoted.

I've toyed with the idea of doing a popular subway improvement project where we'd make battery-powered devices (arduino, rpi, whatever -- the biggest cost irl would be labor) to plant on subway cars and stations for tracking trains. A proof of concept could be done with just a few tens of such devices. They'd use the subway wifi to transmit train locations.

Of course, there are complications. There's no such thing as a head train car -- these things get mixed and matched. So ensuring that every train has such a device might mean ensuring that every car has one or that every train gets a car that has one, and this seems difficult. But even so, this could cost just in the millions done right.
> WSJ is a joke

I agree with the rest of your post, but no need to single out the WSJ. Compared to other major publications that regularly have editorialized articles submitted to this forum (e.g., NYT, WashPo, HuffPo, Slate, etc), WSJ is extraordinarily well-behaved. This kind of editorializing is a shame and deserves to be called out, but we should make sure we're calling it out across the board.
>And the overall solution is to allow them to fail next time

Then pass a regulation barring the US from ever giving another "bailout". In the aftermath of '08 those corporations played the US like a fiddle to get their billions of dollars in free loans because "our whole financial system could collapse if you dont". Why wouldn't they play this game again, perhaps even more brazenly than last time?

Menial jobs get outsourced or automated, with very few exceptions.
Definitely sets off warning bells: it's cheaper than a digital subscription to the Economist alone.

Edit: not quite. Economist is USD127/year, this would be USD144 per year.
$80/h would be great for a full-time employee in most of the US (outside of SV of course - a safe place to sleep doesn't have to start at $4k/month).

For a freelancer it would suck. I'd be a nervous wreck every time I found myself between clients. Which is why I'm not a freelancer. If I could get $100+/hour, I probably would be :)
> Given what facebook is and has done, why wouldn't you be suspicious that there is a hidden reason that is beneficial to facebook.

Facebook is in the middle of a PR disaster which sank their stock price because they gave away data to companies that users agreed to give away. Nude photos are probably more sensitive to people than their social security number and bank information -- especially to younger people.

The public outrage that would follow if anything nefarious was happening to voluntarily sent nude photos would be tantamount to destruction of the company. It's not hyperbole -- the whole point of submitting photos to stop revenge porn is to stop the spread of the photos. Anything else would contravene that trust and spark moral hostility.

WARNING / NOTICE / APOLOGY re pricing glitch/omission

I was tired when I wrote the above. While re-scanning my submitted posts for replies I just realized I made a major error/omission. (Fresh eyes when rereading, and all that. I realized of my own accord, FWIW.)

Each system has a base price listed at the top of the purchase page. This adds up to a total at the bottom of the list, which doesn't show on my screen without scrolling.

The prices in my previous post are the base price, not the total price. IOW, I was listing the motherboard/case/et al, and no CPU or RAM.

I MEANT to clarify this - that I was listing the base price, not the configured total - and I also remember intending to mention my curiosity as to why the base price was different for each system. I'd figured it was because it represented sundry costs such as enclosure/motherboard/etc. But I got distracted with playing with the pricing calculator and completely forgot to add this point! My apologies.

TL;DR, this means the systems are base price + cost for RAM and CPU. The "default" pricing for each system is:

- Talos II: $7,010

- 2U: $9,995

- 4U: $10,345

- Desktop Development System: $5,120

- Talos II Lite: $1,399 (no options, including CPU and RAM, are configured by default)
Here's what I learned in order: html, css, some JavaScript and php, more JavaScript and php, ruby/c/others, more JavaScript, more php(for work), more JavaScript

JavaScript is pretty crucial to learn no matter what your backend language is. Since your backend language can be JavaScript also, using node, you might want to focus on that. Php is where a lot of the freelance work is, and it's also one of the easier backend languages to get started in. I'd say once you're pretty proficient in fronted JavaScript and some backend php, then ask the question again maybe try some other language's backend.
The math [0] for this service doesn't seem to work very well. Many of these publications are priced at multiples of Fread. Won't this either bankrupt Freed or cannibalize sales of the more expensive publications on the list?

I think the authors misses the target as his arguments seem to be mostly against the current educational system as it stands, not against an educated workforce.
It's a seductive idea, that we can see into the past so accurately in such a way. The article suggests weaknesses though that seem to be being brushed under the carpet.

The biggest problem is with the economics and the history rather than the science of measuring lead in ice cores.

The article states:

Yet for all these coins, it remains unclear how Rome managed its money in a modern sense

... and that seems to be a problem because the theory asks us to believe something implausible; that during times of war coin production went down. Everything we know about both modern and ancient governments tells us that rulers routinely inflate their currencies to pay soldiers. During a time of war, when desperation is at its peak and there is a need to win at any cost, furiously minting coins to fund the fight is extremely common.

Yet according to these graphs coin production goes up during times of peace and down during times of war. Really?

The story falls apart in other ways further down the article:

That said, the lead record does not seem to mark a few major events in Roman history. The Plague of Justinian, which may have killed half the population of Europe in 541 and 542 a.d., does not seem to feature prominently in the record

OK, so their entire thesis is that the Roman economy can be measured using lead in ice cores, yet an event that more than decimated the population appears to have had no impact on economic activity at all? Either the measurements are wrong, or the historical understanding of the plague is wrong, or the understanding of what lead in ice cores means historically is wrong. But it's hard to see the theory as presented as anything but implausible when such gaping holes exist in the data.

It gets worse:

Nor does the record encompass the full scope of the Roman coin-minting operation: Many important silver mines sat near Greece and the eastern Mediterranean, and their emissions probably did not make it to Greenland.

So lead in the air can make it from Spain to Greenland, about 2700 miles, but not from Greece to Greenland, a distance of about 3100 miles? They're nearly the same distance apart. Does lead in the air have a magic cutoff beyond which it cannot travel on the wind and if so, why does the article not talk about this?

Finally, the article does note that this new study contradicts an earlier study that concluded the opposite.

This is explained by saying the new study has more data. But this still seems odd to me - it's saying the old study had such bad luck that the ice cores they studied were totally misleading to the extent that they presented the opposite of the truth. How did that happen? Is it really plausible and if so what other studies should be invalidated as a result of not taking enough core samples?

I find myself wondering how much of this article boils down to curve fitting and munging the data to fit what we are sure we "know" about Rome, to create a nice story that doesn't rock any boats.
I think music is just a tool -- it can be used badly or it can be used well.

Different media are able to show different things -- novels show interior thoughts, plays need to focus mainly on dialog, and movies/TV are largely driven by images.

Particularly, movies and TV have a huge challenge in communicating the interior thoughts of characters -- this is one of the first things you learn in screenwriting, when a particular story might be more appropriate as a novel instead.

But one of the tools which can communicate a character's state of mind is through music. At best, I think it's what you mean when you say complementary -- e.g. a character has to act confident but you need to know that inside they're nervous. But of course it can be a crutch for bad acting too -- if the actor is supposed to be communicating nervousness but isn't, so the music does it for them.

I was one of the lead developers at Philips Interactive Media. To be fair, where the article focuses on video games, the CD-I player was never intended to be a game machine. At the time, Philips was betting that encyclopedias, educational and subscription publications would be on discs. They were betting that the network speed and general public adoption of the Internet was going to be slower, with a disc based interactive media period. They underestimated the advance of network speeds as well as the public's willingness to wait for the network. A lot of the CD-I development was centered around the consumer / end-user never having to wait, which was accomplished through a special real time media file format that effectively turned the disc into a single 740 MB file.

It was not until the reality of CD-I players being sold that the necessity for games and the zero interest in educational media became clear. At the time, digital media itself was new, and the idea of a dedicated digital disc based encyclopedia / magazine made sense.
Just because Apple has a reputation for being secretive doesn't mean they are in this case. Most companies don't go around advertising plans to open a new office or their CEO's meeting schedule.
How can anyone with an ounce of common sense not immediately dismiss this as totally preposterous? It's completely and utterly nuts! Anyone in management at FB considering this a reasonable initiative has surely lost all perspective on the right way to solve what I'm sure is - sadly - a genuine and serious problem.
As a skier too, I disagree slightly. It’s relatively easy to do that move in ski boots and skies. Just ski boots won’t cut it. And, indeed, the special boots clip to the floor using a sort of binding.

>> for reasons he's refused to elucidate

For the simplest reasons that I have stated to you many times!

Including every language implementation that the language author would like to have included is more work than I am willing to do, period.

Sept 13 2008: 63 language implementations were shown-

https://web.archive.org/web/20080913030117/http://shootout.a...

- currently, 27 language implementations are shown.

You could truthfully say "he refuses to include [at-least 30 language implementations]". In that regard, there's nothing special about D.

What happens when your version control dies? Of course it shouldn't happen, but we all know about Murphy's Law.

Or as I've encountered on multiple occasions: your IT team is struggling to figure out why your network/version control/etc are extremely slow... 3 second queries are now taking 60 seconds... we will be rebooting servers a few times... and restoring backups... hopefully things are working better tomorrow!

Or what happens when you migrate to another versioning system? Where I was working migrated from MS SourceSafe years ago and a lot of comment history was lost in the conversion and apparently it wasn't worth the time/money to figure out why only half the comments made it over.

I'm sure there are more scenarios.

The point is: comments in plain-text source files can be invaluable.

Upload your own porn to Facebook, hilarious! Zuckerberg really hasn't changed and he still believes his users are dumb fucks.

Knowing real Facebook, I would imagine at minimum they will be extracting tattoos from these photos and sharing it with FBI/LEs of all sorts. AS it turns out many criminal cases are being solved because someone flashed their tattoo.

So 10 years from now Zuck will be on the road apologizing that they shared your naked photos/tattoos with LEs but you know thats for the common good so its allright. But definitely we will do better lol :)

FWIW, those crazy single instruction copies you see on pretty much every classic CISC machine did make a lot of sense on systems without instruction caches. You could easily get a third of the throughput if you had to share the data bus with instruction fetches.

Not line-art to ASCII art, so not exactly what you're looking for, but PlantUML [1] generates software-related diagrams from ASCII text. There's a plug-in for JetBrains IDEs such as PyCharm that will render the diagram in a pane in the IDE: you can include the ASCII text in a comment in code. You can also generate documentation (I use Sphinx, for Python stuff) that includes diagrams generated from code.

How America Will Launch More Rockets, and Faster
No matter what the physical cause of the injury is, it's trivial to create false attribution with it. It happened first in Cuba, so Cuba got a lot of blame. Now it's happening in China. Did China come up with the same brilliant idea? Buy it from Cuba? Or did they both just end up with shoddy surveillance equipment?

If I had to guess, it's probably the latter. No matter the cause, though, if you knew how to do it you could pull off the attack in [insert questionable country here] and create suspicion for that country. It would be a really fast and effective way to create diplomatic tension for a third party who stands to gain from the breakdown of communication.
