As some others below mentioned, I suggest getting in some exercise. Sitting in front of a computer and coding/debugging/yelling at the computer all day gets a bit stressful and its probably wears you out. Even a short 15 minute morning routine worked great to to get me going to a have a good productive day.

I am somewhat in a similar "lack or energy situation". I used to be very good about having consistent exercise schedule, I felt great and productive during coding. Then about a month ans a half ago I have significantly increased the amount of free time I spend on my side project which resulted in the sacrifice of exercise, a more destabilized sleep cycle, and more stress.

The first 3 weeks after a change of schedule were ok, but then I was starting to feel more tiered and a bit unfocused even after stabilizing my sleep. As the only thing that changed about what I did was the exercises, I think that played an important role.

As I have no knowledge in the magic of supplements and nutrition, but only have my experience, I would suggest throwing in some regular exercises and see if that help.

I do know that suggestion is a bit hard to start on, as I myself have so far failed at dragging myself back to the gym after not being there in 1.5 months.

This is a wonderful opinion. The things mentioned are unanimous and

My suggestion, change:

"Add Facebook profile pictures and links to Contacts"

to something like

"Share contact info and profile pictures between Facebook and the iPhone address book"

Looks well designed and the prices are very competitive. However the site feels empty. More content, like a demo account or a video, would fill the site up a little more.

Facebook Overhauls Groups, A Social Solution To Create “A Pristine Graph”
This is sort of cool. But, on second thought, and regardless if normal operation temperatures are safe with a paper case - I dread the thought of a abnormal occurrence with any one component shorting out. That could cause a fire, and for the chance of that happening, I wouldn't think it wise to use a case like this. Components fail, it's a fact of life - I won't up my risks with this.
I'm using SSDs in a handful of QA and staging VM servers. As a consequence, VMs are SCREAMING FAST running on SSD. As a further consequence, I have had 4/6 SSD drives fail. Use RAID. Don't buy A-DATA SSDs. (using ext4, Linux 2.6.35)

I think the thing to consider is what is most practical to your users. I want to be able to login at yourdomain.com I don't want to remember that I have to login at app.yourdomain.com. I think ultimately providing the simplest path for your users to sign up and log in with is what you should do.

What might make the most sense is putting your marketing site in a sub-directory like /tour or something and then get another domain just for marketing that redirects you to the /tour marketing page.
Python. I moved from Java to Python and absolutely love it (this is my short answer)
Best. Upgrade. Ever.

I switched to a 120GB OWC Mercury Pro SSD in my MacBook Pro.

The upgrade is impressive enough that I understand why some people end up ditching the optical drive entirely in their MacBook Pros.

I honestly would not be surprised if we don't see the MacBook Pros lose the optical drive entirely in the next year or two. Steve is notorious for dumping dead technologies when the time is right and the CD/DVD is one of those. I haven't put a CD in my laptop since I bought it and the only time I ever use a DVD is to boot into the startup disk or watch a movie.

The best decision that Apple could make at this point is to offer a MacBook Pro with either two SSDs, possibly in a RAID 1 configuration. Speed and security of data is now more valuable to the average consumer than the convenience of being able to read DVDs and CDs.

The alternative would be to sell MacPros with one 60-120GB SSD drive to boot off and run applications from and a conventional HDD with 320GB+ to store stuff like photos, video and music on.

If you are debating an upgrade to SSD, don't. Just buy one already.
If you run SSDs on a Mac, I highly recommend OWC's Mercury Pro series: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/internal_storage/Mercury_Extr...

Since OS X lacks TRIM support (arggh!), normal SSDs tend to degrade in performance over time. The OWC's are designed with a microcontroller to do the equivalent of TRIM behind the scenes, and they also happen to be fast as hell. I upgraded from a year-old 64g Kingston to a 120g OWC, and the speed boost was just as noticable as the original move from a spinny drive to SSD. (Down to a 22 second boot time on 3yo hardware!)
I suggest a Primal diet (meat, veggies, fruit, nuts) and drink water and unsweetened tea. Avoid grains and beans. That sort of diet lets your body adjust to your "proper" weight. For exercise, just do some body weight stuff, pushups, plank, squats, and some walking... no crazy cardio.

For more info, I like marksdailyapple.com (no affiliation) They've got buku info there and a very active community. I've been losing weight on it but I was overweight... I've got all day energy though so it's a win-win for me.

The other recommendation is sunshine. Go walk around 1-2 times a day and soak up the good stuff.
It's true that nobody has been explicitly sued for downloading, but in practice they have never shown any likelihood that the person uploaded to other people, so the real liability is essentially just having the track in your P2P client's media folder. It's a very hand-wavy way to sue people for downloading. Simmons advocates for suing "downloaders," but the actual suits would undoubtedly look much like the ones we've seen so far.
It appears that it's built as an app that crawls the graph, zips up all your media, photos, videos, etc. Once unzipped, it seems to be html based, browsable format.

Based on this I think its safe to say that even without explicit APIs you could easily whip up some parsers, accept one of these zip files, and pull all the data into your own app.

I totally agree. Moore's Law is completely inapplicable when it comes to disk performance.
I've been checking all day and hearing from others that it's 'never' worked for them either. (Prior to the story breaking)
eval("{x:1}") // returns 1
eval("({x:1})") // returns {x:1}
I like John Resig's tutorial: http://ejohn.org/apps/learn/
I also haven't had any problems (though only after 3 months). I am both aware and a little nervous about the issue, though, so I've run a few benchmarks, and so far, so good. I'll be sure to tell HN if this changes.
I think there is some merit to that idea, but Linux may have taken it too far when adding a syscall is like negotiating a multilateral treaty between the kernel, glibc, and applications.
There is, I think, an important distinction, now that you have raised the point.

In that the application of Sharia law makes a moral judgement on the content - censoring it for the promotion of, in their eyes, illegal content.

In a work environment many things are not appropriate; even in the most liberal of societies pornography is much more of a private thing, enjoyed by smaller groups of people rather than being shared with the world at large. There are also other issues; like, for example, that pornography is connected with sexual excitement and sexual acts - all of which are also socially inappropriate in most workplaces (and public). So rather than a moral judgement it is a practical limitation designed to avoid awkwardness, or offence or distraction.

That link, in particular, is a marginal case, where the pornography is incidental to the reason for being on the page. But within a corporate structure that doesn't matter.

For what it's worth, no one will blink an eyelid where I work either.
Lets say I can convince all of my friends to download and continually sync their FB data. Then, I build a desktop app or web service on top of an open, distributed network with a UI that encompasses most of the features that people use on FB.

It seems like I could interact with my friends, still use facebook as I please, and gradually evolve my social media interactions towards a more open, distributed network.

Any reason why we would not see a handful of such projects emerge?
Two is too many, I agree, but it will almost surely be 1 in the next coming months (assuming Microsoft supports WebM + VP8)
Two places to start:

1. Get your Vitamin D levels checked. I started to run into the same problems in my 20's and as soon as my Vitamin D levels were checked and supplemented, I've been all set. But it took over five years before I got to that point.

2. Don't buy packaged foods and start eating whole grains. You need foods that digest more slowly and refined grains and sugars need not apply. I highly recommend quinoa. I can have a bowl for breakfast and I'm good to go all day. It can be prepared with fruits and nuts or vegetables and yogurt. Also look into steel cut oats.
So, would we expect to see downloadable user apps that use this data in this particular format and do crazy things like visualise one's activity on FB over the past few years? How much would an average person's data be on FB (apart from pictures/videos): few megabytes of compressed data?
He never explains why he feels bad about it.

It seems like a perfectly respectable profession to me, bringing books from ignored corners of dank bookstores to the hands of those who really want them.
True. But you're probably exerting yourself too hard if a workout session taxes you that much (or you have it built up in your mind so you'll hate it no matter what). Remember Worf's exercise of holding 13-pound weights straight in front of him? To do that, you don't even start with weights, you just hold your arms out. There's no shame (literally none, this is actually the secret of developing an exercise mentality/physiology) in lifting incredibly light things, even just your arms.
I do hear you, willpower is precious. But since exercise helps create willpower, too, and stress mitigation, it's a highly lucrative investment.
IBM/370 Assembler with command-level CICS, probably because I used it early in my career on an app where every program had to be small and fast. Nothing since then has approached the sheer fun of all that bit-diddling.
Google's similar patent (applied for at the time of the dodgeball acquisition):

The fact that patents are granted on this sort of stuff is, imho, total bullshit. Anyone who puts their name on this sort of thing should be embarrassed.
Keep the fruits and nuts and ditch the steak. But a big yes on the exercise. Consider yourself lucky that you don't have to get into a "food fight" with yourself.
No, this is not criticism. KISS have repeatedly stated that they are in it for the money, not the music. If they don't get paid (well) they wont play, it's that simple. They don't "jam" with other bands, they know the songs that they perform and that's about it.

They are the Microsoft of the music industry.
People seem to be intepreting this as "OMG now we can build a new social network and convert users easily!"

Users still aren't going to leave Facebook. Facebook realizes this, which is why they can do this now. Your mother's cousin is on Facebook. She won't be on Diaspora or (X). That said, this is pretty cool for its own reasons. Like waterlesscloud said, it looks like they "want to be the source of all social interactions on the web without having monolithic control."

This is definitely a smart move for Facebook -- be willing to give a little on data portability to position themselves as open.

Facebook has a gigantic ecosystem. Thousands of sites use Facebook Connect to provide social context and are predicated on everyone interesting have a Facebook account. A social network is a very complicated webapp -- probably the most complex many of its users interact with on a daily basis -- and literally hundreds of millions of users don't want to have to re-learn that. Remember that we're talking about here: take, for example, the http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/facebook_wants_to_be_yo... incident. They have such tremendous inertia that even being able to one-click import your data to another app isn't likely to damage them.

This move is kind of like Jobs saying, "all smartphones have problems. We're not perfect. But we're trying to do the best of anyone." At least for the moment, it's changed the discourse from "wow Facebook supports developers terribly" to "hey, Facebook's not entirely a walled garden!": what Scott Adam's called the "high ground maneuver".

True, the perception is probably more skewed than reality. For gaming, PC's are still definitely the way to go, but Mac's aren't quite as marked up as most people think. They do use quality parts.

The US government already provides massive incentives for nuclear power, but even with those incentives, nobody is building. Maybe the American nuclear industry just has such an awful record of cost overruns that investors don’t want to give them any more rope. But if the Indians can run their nuclear industry in a more competent fashion, good for them.
Same for Nunames, taking back attractive .nu-domains ten year after registration. ICANN should really act on this.
Just because it's good for the music industry doesn't mean it's okay.
This is an interesting solution.

So the actual app could be at my main marketing domain - perhaps just simply have the marketing site appear when they are not logged in. Once they are logged in, they are shown their home screen.

But how do I handle the file organization for each user. Give them their own subdomain or just do folders? So all the images for marcamillion would be mydomain.com/marcamillion/images, and my home site would be mydomain.com/marcamillion.
Developers- You'll Hate Working At Our Startup If..
I guess this place has higher percentage of the bullied than other communities, so let me share my bits:

I was the little kid with a big head and glasses which was the equivalent of "bully magnet". I got beaten up during kindergarten (by kids smaller than me), got beaten up in elementary school, secondary school, high school. Bullying kind of stopped in university because bullies couldn't pass the entrance tests heh.

And the funny thing is, I asked my family for help while I was getting bullied. I told my father that "These kids at school ganged up on me and while one was holding my arms the other one punched me". His response was "You shouldn't respond to them, they'll be gone soon". Unfortunately, "not responding" while you're getting punched is not a very efficient defense technique.

So my dad didn't teach me how to defend myself, he didn't contact school managers, he didn't do anything. And unfortunately this happened more than once. It is very depressing for a small kid to lose his trust in his father. And that happened to me when I was 9.

I knew no way to stop the bullying so naturally I focused my frustration on my poor little sister. I made her cry a lot. I tortured animals. Anything weaker than me received my wrath. And all this time my father was thinking I was a bad naughty boy who should have learned some manners.

Every parent should know that they won't be able to protect their kids from every harm. But they can prepare them, teach them, educate them about the potential dangers they may ever face and support them if such situation arises. I never had that kind of support, but my kids will have that. Oh and they'll learn how to land a flying headbutt onto a bully's nose if they get close enough.

While I'm sure we all have opinions on the matter, you might do well to consult a nutritionist or your primary care doctor. They'll know your case history, your peculiar health quirks and can give much better advice than the lot of us.
10minutemail.com is cool. Thank you. But recently it has not been working for me. Are websites catching on and blacklisting 10minutemail domains? Anyway to counter that?
I know this is entirely anecdotal, but I have several 'net firends' listed on my "facebook phonebook" page for whom I don't have a number in my phone and they do not have any numbers posted on their profile.

The GPU capabilities are gated by Apple's software, it seems. The windows drivers for the same card are quite happy with OpenGL 3.2 or thereabouts.

I'd bet that the lack of internal use of fancier GPU features and a push towards using OpenCL all over has influenced both the choice of GPU and the roadmap for exposing hardware capabilities greatly. How much of the delay in supporting the latest greatest features is a reluctance to support multiple codepaths for vendor extensions to OpenGL and how much is a lack of manpower is an interesting question, I think.
If I deploy the app to a sub-directory, or a sub-domain, what do I do with the users?

I'm not sure what the current state of law is. Morally speaking, I don't believe that people should be paying those kinds of fines for either downloading or uploading in "casual" use ("casual" meaning that they're not original distributors of the material.)

Alternately, you could make enough nuclear capacity to provide your peak power levels all the time, and dump excess energy into some energy-hungry industrial process, like aluminum smelting, or synthetic fuel production, or ammonia synthesis

Heck, you don't have to do anything with it, just disconnect your turbines from your generators.

Any serious (read: MMO) application of this would be continuously reporting position regardless, so it wouldn't that big of a step to validate them server-side and prevent such hijinks.
That "waste" is still perfectly usable fuel. You could extract the plutonium and uranium and use that to make more fuel rods. You could burn it in fast breeder reactors, in a hypothetical future where mined uranium becomes expensive enough to warrant the use of fast breeders. Or you could just ship it to Canada, where they have heavy-water-moderated reactors that can use regular nuclear waste directly as fuel, without any chemical reprocessing.

I keep saying that nuclear waste storage shouldn't be thought of as permanent disposal. It should be thought of as keeping a reserve of nuclear fuel for the future.
It is perfectly respectable to make the market more efficient, but elements of the marketplace (the elderly man and "No electronic devices allowed" sign) make him feel bad about it.
I agree that it looks good and prices are competitive, but I disagree that the site feels empty. Its perfectly simple.

Security surely isn't the only requirement. There was a relatively modest budget and a firm deadline.

But moreover, it's silly to blame the platform. CGI scripts were getting exploited through shell injection vulnerabilities before most of the people here were born.
It depends on the type of email. In general, when I give people thoughtful replies I learn something. But I can see this wouldn't be true for some categories of email.
Did this just destroy frid.ge?
The lack of energy rings a familiar bell to me. I started feeling tired after I ate several years ago. Actually, not just tired, but wiped out. Exhausted. I tried changing all sorts of things related to my diet, but finally saw a nutritionist and doctor who were able to run some tests.

A stool test and a genetic test confirmed Celiac disease--meaning my body was having an autoimmune reaction to eating wheat, barley, rye, and (non-certified gluten free) oats. Celiac disease/gluten intolerance is NOT an allergy and will not show up on a typical food allergy test.

If you're having fatigue after you eat, I cannot recommend strongly enough that you see your doctor and specifically request a stool test and genetic test for Celiac disease. (There's also a blood test, but it doesn't work for everyone.) You may find you have it--1 in 133 of us do, but in America 95% go undiagnosed. Or you may find you have its lesser form, gluten intolerance.

The only cure is to completely 100% avoid gluten. It is tricky, but well worth it in terms of energy.

I also suggest that anyone who has Type I diabetes, Crohn's, colitis, lupus, or general digestive issues get tested for Celiac/gluten intolerance as well (via stool test if at all possible.) The tests are painless and if you find out you do have it, other weird symptoms like fatigue and joint pain may disappear if you eliminate gluten.

Celiac disease and gluten intolerance are genetic, so if you get tested and it's positive, your family members should test, too, even if they have different symptoms or no symptoms.

"He says that 95 percent of users on Facebook in tagged in a photo"

They're tagged in photos because of those stupid apps that tag a photo with a bunch of random people from your friends list. I hated those things. I was constantly going and untagging myself from them.
Well, I think of it this way:

I recently moved from a Python+Javascript project to a Java+GWT one, and while the project has been interesting, I must say I know that I will not be voluntarily using Java post this project - unless it happens to be something like Android, which I haven't yet taken on.

Python and Javascript are by far the languages that have pleased me the most: Python for its simplicity and terseness, and Javascript for the absolute fun stuff you can do with it(closures, prototypal inheritance).

Java comes off as being more boilerplate - not just the generated code, but the IDE my colleagues claim you need in order to minimize writing the scaffolding yourself. Not sure if this holds true - I keep hearing myths about how Emacs is a good Java editor and all that.

I generally get a kick of out writing tight code, and Java seems bloated by design. YMMV, and it obviously does.
You're probably right. I paid $800 in Nov '08.
That's pretty much how I am, even with Comet stuff now too, though JS in general is better across browsers.

But really, for basic page layout, the rules around floats and position: relative and so-on really aren't that hard to remember.
My feeling: we are already so close to hitting the lock in point with Facebook, that although many projects will emerge, they will ultimately go nowhere, despite data portability and genuine interest in alternatives.
Using adjectives as adverbs is apparently acceptable English in the dialect of the American South. I'm not sure why DHH is using it though.

Here in the UK, many schools have a zero tolerance policy to bullying, but this is nothing more than an empty gesture. As soon as a kid tells a teacher about their bullying problems, the bullying will most certainly not stop as the school as no power over what goes on beyond the school gates.

Bullies are never punished for their actions, which is why this problem always perpetuates.
