I had very painful RSI for 4 years which was hampering my career and preventing me from playing any video games for more than 15 minutes at a time. It went away within a week of reading "The Mindbody Prescription."

... not that playing video games has been good for my career...
Revive? How do you think I got here in the first place?

RSS isn't all that dead since some of us olds never stopped using it.
Data point of one, but I fixed my cholesterol problem (7x the normal range) by controlling for saturated fats and exercising more. I eat plenty of eggs and other cholesterol heavy foods to no ill effect.

My doctor, who is otherwise good, still parrots the usual “don’t eat eggs” and I just nod my head. I think it’s a script the medical group makes her ramble off because I’ve given her all of the relevant info to how I changed my diet.

My understanding from a lot of reading is that for most people, save for genetic black swans and diabetics, dietary cholesterol doesn’t matter. My guess is that for my own case, my family just has a gene that makes us metabolize saturated fats into syrum cholesterol more than people who can eat whatever without affecting it.

This would be a useful service if their system could detect signs of skin cancer.

In terms of squelching revenge porn, I do not see how this would remove anything from non facebook servers. Is 4chan going to integrate with this? Are they really only using hashing? Simple hash checks are negated with trivial effort.

If they are just hashes, why are users uploading anything beyond a hash? Example: virustotal [0] can get the hash of a file using javascript rather than uploading the file. Is this to see that the file is really porn?

> How can one find such openings at Google?

I don't understand the question. Maybe it will help if I explain how I initiated my switch to part-time. What I did was talk with my manager about it. My manager was supportive and helped me fill out the requisite HR forms.

Other than being part-time, my job description is the same as it was before.

> Is it common for regular engineering positions as well?

Being part-time is not common for SREs (site reliability engineers; what I am). It's not common for SWEs (software engineers; what you might be referring to as "regular engineer[s]") either.

Google's flexible work policies (internal link: go/flexibility) are company-wide. The policies don't distinguish between the SRE and SWE roles.
You can infer GDP per city from NUTS2 regions: http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/images/2/2...

Given that most cities have large commuting penumbras I think that's a reasonable approximation. You can clearly identify e.g Paris, and infer that Dublin and Aberdeen are largely responsible for the prosperity of their regions.

"Cosmopolitanism is the ideology that all human beings belong to a single community, based on a shared morality." - or so says Wikipedia.

> Why is internationalism a practical necessity in cities?

A city is, at its heart, a trade nexus. Even a town is usually built around some key market or industry. More people == more opportunities for trade and networking; Metcalfe's law for humans. Having foreigners around means more trade routes. Nobody's seriously tried to close their cities to trade since the Qing dynasty.

> Are there no cities in the world with quite ethnically homogenous populations? Have the authors visited eastern European or Russian cities?

If you're going to talk about Eastern europe, then there are two things you need to be very careful of: one is miscategorising everyone as the same ethnicity because they all have pale skin (e.g. Magyars are not the same ethnicity as Slavs), and the other is overlooking the realities of genocide and ethnic cleansing that forced populations apart across the 20th century. Poland looks a lot more ethnically homogenous after the 10% of its population that used to be Jewish was exterminated.

Most of the Austro-Hungarian empire was cosmopolitan and multi-lingual in its cities, for example.

When people talk about "elites", they need to be very careful to identify their target as being the actual people with money and power. Otherwise this ends up collapsing to mean "jews" or "liberals" (remember "rootless cosmopolitan" is a subtle anti-semitic slur). It's particularly ludicrous when you get e.g. UK cabinet ministers who come from wealth and private schools complaining about "elites interfering with brexit" when what they actually mean is "journalists pointing out problems".

I was under the impression he designed and patented the shoes specifically for the video?
I assume they are doing it mainly to avoid distribution costs; they simply push a web-app update via a single, well-standardized channel allowing DRM and trusted remote code injection (to prevent pirates from running it), and they don't need to maintain multiple internal tools to do that with multiple attack vectors. So this IMO might be an experiment in this fashion; they are working closely with Google, probably assuming they can't compete with them so it's best if Google's brightest figure out proper ways, and they can focus on their core business.
And here we have the clearest demonstration of confirmation bias.

No that's exactly wrong. Consumption of eggs was positively correlated with better CVD outcomes but they only had data to conclude that this holds up to an amount less than 1 egg per day. People with .76 fared better than those with .29 per day.
> There are some downsides. Triggers are very hard to debug, optimize and monitor.

That's enough for me. My heart always sinks when in response to a problem someone suggests a solution of "let's just stick a few triggers in"..

Its happened too many times in my career where some wierd problem that noone can work out turns out to be caused by a trigger that noone realised was there.

Infrastructure is vastly cheaper when you don't need to deal with other infrastructure. EX: Big dig forced to use liquid nitrogen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_freezing However those 2 billion estimates for a launch loops are well into into crazy town territory.

Much like how a grad student was supposedly tasked with doing image recognition over a weekend, and 30 years and billions later it only mostly works.
I use Emacs but also completely 'hijacked' the way it works with keyboard shortcuts, making it similar to a GUI editor and ignoring/disabling typically emacs-y chords.

Good thing being that Emacs is powerful enough to completely change itself without much effort.
You use the same equipment, but it all depends on how nicely you can put the clean down afterwards. If the gym doesn't have a platform and instead has iron weights and a concrete floor, you could be doing some damage to the equipment. The same could be argued with deadlifts, but they are much easier to gracefully put down.
Hey, I love the idea of the being able to compose music that matches the visuals of a film very easily with the app so I decided to download it and test it. Unfortunately, it seems it is not able to import .mov files on my macbook pro and when I import one of my 4k .mp4 source files, it plays very slowly, in fact so slowly that the video and the timeline become out of synch. My two questions are, are you aware of these two issues and are you planning to fix them?

"What material would you suggest is strong enough to handle the orbit of two massive bodies (relative to girth of a poll one could realistically hold onto)?"

I'm not sure that question is well-defined; to the best of our knowledge we're firmly in the realm of magic here regardless of the details. Nothing even like a metal pole could traverse that distance. The materials that just might barely work to build a space elevator from Earth to Earth geostationary orbit are strong against tension, but this "pole" would be experiencing not only a lot more of that, but also some shear forces, and given how close to the theoretical maxes the space elevator already is, I don't think I have to work any math to know that it's just out of the question.
Wow, we should totally pass a law like that in the U.S.
Fair enough, I was incorrectly restricting "consent" to the one given separately.

Civil unrest around the world. We have peace here, which is a lot more than places in the middle east, sub saharan africa, and places in central/south america can say. Quality of life is high here compared to the rest of the world and there is a strong social welfare system. One thing I find particularly interesting these days is the prospect of Land Expropriation without compensation in South Africa. I will oversimplify it, but it is essentially the state expropriating land from farmers and redistributing it to the poor majority.
Photoshop is a MacApp framework project. Apple Inc. designed and built MacApp and was promoting it to the developers with stage time at the Developer's Conference, and by never mentioning or acknowledging other frameworks.

Meanwhile, the Think Class Library (C) was designed and written by an individual .. a name given after the group behind Think-C / Lightspeed C got behind it.. The lone designer of the original Think Class Library is named Gregory H Dow.

It is a subjective statement, but I believe that more than four times the number of big name Macintosh apps were written in Think Class Library, in C, than Pascal MacApp from Apple.. There was a big interest in C for the Macintosh, while Apple repeatedly pushed their own Pascal, until Apple could control their own C compiler in the Macintosh Programmers Workshop (MPW). (edit- MPW C existed internally at Apple for a long while, but there was some disconnect between that and the developer tools marketing)

Gregory H Dow then designed and built a second generation framework using C++, called PowerPlant for Metrowerks CodeWarrior. PowerPlant was used for many, many more commercial applications after that. Pascal faded away on the Macintosh OS, even with the forceful support of Apple.

C++ Builder is great.

Only with UWP and C++/CX did Visual C++ finally gotten visual, and it still doesn't do as well as Builder.
That's a great step forward :) And how about using two Web Components that depend on a third component? For example, what if I'm using two third-party components that both depend on LitElement, but on different versions of LitElement? Will those still conflict?
Can you elaborate on how the issue was found? I've been through similar treatments, even had carpal tunnel release just to see if it would help (it didn't).

How would you describe the pain? All of mine is in the fingers, exclusively. No wrist pain.
That phrase came to my mind as I was writing. My first exposure to the term came in the context of Dave Cutler's requirement that Windows NT developers 'eat their own dogfood'... so it's a little ironic to me that one of my big complaints about the MS BASIC PDS is that they seemingly didn't.
Comey seemed to have no problem giving that answer. So it is definitely valid.
There are a lot of "what worked for me in here" and that's great, but I want to stress that people need to consider seeing a physician, and possibly an OTR/L several times. The anatomy of your arms are more complicated than you think and any number of issues can cause pain, weakness, tingling or numbness. These people work with these issues 40+ hours a week and are more equipped to target and fix the issue sooner than you are on your own.

Sometimes it's just one lifestyle choice you need to change to improve your health (e.g. posture), but for some people it's more complicated than that. Everyone's physiology is just a little bit different and responds differently to different treatments.

Repeating my comment from the same thread:

This isn't surprising at all. Amazon's return policy is prone to social engineering. And there is a cottage industry out there taking advantage of this situation to con money out of Amazon.
A friend's account was hacked last year and his account information changed. Then the hacker proceeded to request a gift card refund on a previously purchased laptop. The gift card was then used to buy another laptop shipped to a freight forwarder. Couple of months later, Amazon banned the account.

Amazon actually needs to improve its fraud detection capabilities. But until the time it does that, blaming customers for too many returns seem to be the go to strategy.

Ask HN: How to speed up NPM installs?
I work at a company in a backend role, but our front-end team routinely requires NPM clean / installs which take more than 10 minutes each. We're looking for a solution.

It seems the reason they clean out all of their packages, is because one dependency is another internal project and that for some reason it gets cached unless an NPM clean is run (?).

Is this truly the state of affairs in NPM? Surely there is a way to update repositories without deleting every dependency every time.
Not sure if that's going to change something. The main problem was never peak-time congestion (I've never experienced it personally), it's just the fact that 1) the infrastructure is shit and 2) everyone sells DSL as "fibre".

The infrastructure is a mess. Unless you've got actual fibre to the home, you're stuck with DSL, aka rust. The problem is that it's impossible to tell just how rusty it is without subscribing to service and running a speed test (at which point you've either entered into a year-long contract or paid install fees). Even the ISP can't know. What Openreach (company mandated by the government to manage the actual phone lines) should do is leave a DSLAM connected to all lines, to allow people to connect a modem and see the sync speeds (and possibly run a speedtest from a server provided by Openreach) before they sign up to anything.

The second issue is that everyone is falsely advertising DSL (and other garbage like coax cable, also called HFC) as "fibre" and consumers are confused as to which "fibre" is the better one. This also makes it much harder for companies that sell real fibre.

As it stands, this change will just make telco scammers sell "fibre" "up to 11mbps" instead of "up to 30mbps" or whatever they were selling before. As far as the consumer is concerned it's still a lottery whether you'll actually get the advertised speeds, with no way to know beforehand.
Yeah sorry, I wasn't trying to say that it wasn't still a pain in the ass.
> if the English leave

The Brits.
I also used to have back garden hens, but in my opinion the moral argument stands up to examination.

Consider:

* The modern chicken is quite different to its wild ancestors, and lays eggs about 20 times more frequently (the eggs are also larger). I'd call it genetic exploitation.

* The male chickens are (most likely) killed after hatching in preference of the females you'll keep.

* They may be safe from predators, but is the loss of freedom, a natural environment and normal biological functions a price worth paying?

If you're starting out you probably need a trainer more than a routine. It's really easy to injure yourself and you can't necessarily learn the proper movements from watching videos online. Talk to the trainers at your gym and find one with legitimate certification.
Although pracitcally what you said is true, many teams I've worked in had seniors that would design projects based on their interests. I'd like to say there is a way to design objectively based on trade-offs for the project. If you ever worked in enterprise-like "frameworks" like Magento you will see the design patterns and how they achieve certain goals in a project. E.G EAV, XML module & layout declaration for flexibility,
MVVM for single responsibility controllers meant for large enterprise teams working on the same controller at one time.
More on the local end. Traditional denoising is edge finding + blur; you find the edges that you want to keep crisp and you blur on both sides of the edges. ML has been really good at somehow replicating and improving upon that result without explicitly building any sort of understanding about what it is that it's denoising.
Inclined to agree. In $job_i_had we dealt with a partner who would routinely ratchet the rhetoric up to the max in this way and all it did was foster bad feeling, damage morale and productivity, as well as block any further useful discourse on whatever topic was under discussion. Not only was it extremely frustrating to deal with, but it didn't achieve anything. It certainly didn't get them what they (thought they) wanted any quicker - quite the opposite in some cases.

All this to show off in front of colleagues/superiors/underlings, or to give the impression of doing something or being actively involved in the process whilst actively causing harm and wasting other peoples' time.

I was occasionally heard to mutter that they could scarcely have done more to sabotage the project if they were actively trying to, which I don't believe they were.

(Btw, I'm not defending facebook: just saying that if you're really making honest enquiries or trying to have a productive discussion, this is not the way to go about it.)
I think you could kind of generalise this to say that a mission statement is only useful if you can imagine some situations where someone would have a difficult call to make and could reference the mission statement to help make the decision.

The one I always think of as good is "Move fast and break things". Not that it necessarily is a good idea, but rather that you can quite clearly use it to help make decisions like "do we launch now to capture a transient opportunity or later to ensure full QA?"
If you offer a set of checkboxes like that won't most people just check all of them?

Interesting, any particular renderers that do this?
Isn’t that what the PR is for? one would assume “send a PR for docs” means “i’ll review before merging”. it seems like nobody wants to write the docs and the author already wrote the code so why double tax him when he is doing this all for free?
Yeah, I have definitely seen the situation where “going remote” is covertly thought of as a transition to not working there anymore. Whenever you’re getting something that makes others say “I want that”, you better have people who can go to bat for you and prove why you’re worth it.
Tokens ERC20 simple explanation
For Virgin Broadband, peak-time congestion is definitely a major issue. I have indeed had better experiences with DSL in that regard, but lower overall speeds.
The problem with that answer is that it means yes in the context he was asked it.

If the answer was no, he could say no.

But of a very specific sort: improvements in access to contraception. It's also strongly affected by women's access to jobs outside the home.

Falling fertility is our great victory over Malthusianism, it should be celebrated more.

(Just re-read the article to check something, and isn't it going to a great effort to avoid saying the word "race"?)
That is an interesting response.

I wonder if it were equally possible with any language.

Could a Python or Java programmer say the same? I think there are probably a handful of languages that you could use for "everything". The limiting constraint is the presence of a reliable javascript compiler, followed by data science libraries (I think).

Good enough is the enemy of good. Good enough and free trumps good and for pay every time.
Yeah I just disagree. I actually think Java is a terrible teaching language. Folks for whom Java is the closest they come to the hardware tend not to understand the internals of how computers actually work well enough to do things like understand where bits fit into bytes or what happens if you recast an int into a double without converting the underlying data.

Many times that doesn't matter, but to me it's important to have a supple and complete understanding of the underlying ideas. Java fails at that.

When I referred to memory I meant more than malloc and free. It's things like understanding how an array of ints is laid out in memory and what happens when you treat it as an array of chars instead. If you talk about this to a Java programmer, their eyes are likely to cross.
Sure, there’s no such thing as security theater and nobody spends money or effort putting on a show at all anywhere ever.
