It could be that we are taking different approaches to do the same thing - you hold off on moving up in weight and repeat the exercises, whereas I hold off, repeat the exercise, and do supplementary glute and core work to avoid my spine curving too much in the "right" way.
>Arnold type body looks great on photos, but is utterly impractical for normal life

No one gets "buff" on accident. No one gets to the size where they have trouble fitting through a door on accident (and without drugs).

>Low rep means you are close to your limits, which is area where injuries happen a lot

High reps = more movement, and just like a hard disk drive, more movement means more chances for failure. The injury that sent me to the chiropractor was a warm-up ~125lb Deadlift that I did with impromper form. Weight does not correlate with Injury risk.

>what good is it to be able to lift 100kg 3x times and you're done, when you need to move apartment for example

The "joints and connective tissue" (tendons aka grip) you mentioned prior is exactly what gets trained on heavy reps, and takes a LONG time to develop.

It wasn't an open honest discussion.

He wrote some memo and it was pass around the Google until some people found out and got offended.

If he wanted an honest discussion he shouldn't be passing notes around like it's highschool. The memo apparently ended up being pass by more and more people. That's not how you approach this or many topics that are sensitive. I think his lack of common sense and clarity screwed him over really.

The Most Important Database You've Never Heard Of
Microsoft really needs to solve or at least mitigate these issues.

I've been using Windows as my main development environment for mainly JavaScript and Python for like 5 years now, and I've felt every single one of these pain points (if you haven't, go read parts 0 and 1 of the same series! They are great!).

Some of them I've tried to mitigate (I'll be looking over my suite of tools to see if any "file watchers" are causing issues now, as well as using the fantastic looking tool from the article to dive into this slowness I feel), but for the most part it's just a cost of working on Windows for me, and it's pushing me away.

With a fraction of the power, I can get magnitudes more "perceived performance" out of Linux or MacOS, and I'm now starting to use linux VMs more to get that performance back (which is such a weird sentence!)

There are things about Linux that I hate as a desktop OS (for me they always seem to "deteriorate" over like 6 months and need a reinstall to stay stable, and I've on more than 5 occasions installed something and restarted only to find the machine unbootable...), and there's things I hate about MacOS (the keyboards, the hardware requirements, being linux-ey enough that it feels familiar, but not enough that stuff just works for me), but I can't deny that when I work in those OSs, I'm more productive and spend less time waiting for my machine to do little tasks, and therefore have much less aversion to them (at this point I've almost developed a phobia of having to move, copy, or rename large numbers of files on Windows, and it shows as a lack of organization in projects because of how flakey and time consuming it can be).

I know it won't be easy, but MS is going to start losing devs and eventually users if this keeps up and the other OSs keep pulling ahead in percevied performance.

(As an aside, and just to jump the gun a bit with the expected replies, I'm fairly certain my Linux-as-a-desktop-os issues are self inflicted or come from a lack of understanding of something on my part, but I haven't had the time to dive into what they are, and a slow OS is better than a non-functional one. Hopefully my increased usage of VMs now will iron out those issues without as much risk)
Some historical perspective:

Some languages picked it up along the way. So in my case, I only first found out about closures in JS, after going through several popular languages, that got closures only later on: Pascal, C++, PHP...

I read the thread in its entirety before commenting. Access to and ability to afford goods and services is what defines one's standard of living. Not having to deal with racist policies gave blacks access to a standard of living they otherwise couldn't attain. Instead of having to pay whatever some goods cost plus a lot of their time Sears let them buy those goods for the cost and a minimal amount of time allowing them to spend the time elsewhere.

There's an obvious (or at least I thought so) modern parallel with poor people and cheap imported consumer goods. An increased standard of living encompasses a wider variety of improvements than just moving to a town with a Whole Foods and some breweries.

Yes. What is the benefit of hobbling a world-class search engine so that it intentionally prevents "everyone" (I include Chinese citizens in your "everyone") from accessing free information and news and facts about the world and about China itself?

All countries are guilty of mistakes and atrocities. So what is the benefit of preventing citizens from discovering this, learning from it, and discussing it?

> I think the writer sells short the comparison of Homer to the bible. It goes a lot deeper than "the one book everyone knows."

I didn't get the feeling that the author sold short the analogy between the Bible and the Iliad. After all, he says:

> How close is the analogy with the Bible? In terms of sheer cultural ubiquity, pretty close.

The Bible's cultural influence on the West is immense and goes much beyond being "the one book everyone knows." Many of Jesus' ethical ideals have become so engrained in our culture we are not even aware of where they came from. For example, the idea expressed in John 9, that a person who is blind from birth is not blind because of the sin of their parents or a sin he was expected to commit. This blame thinking was pervasive in antiquity; you can see a glimpse of this ideal in Book 2 of the Iliad.. Thersites is specifically called out for being ugly and club-footed, before he berates Agamemnon until Odysseus knocks him on the head. Everyone in the assembly praises Odysseus saying "terrific strokes ... he's put a stop to this babbling, foulmouthed fool!" We no longer believe that ugliness and badness are associated. Note that while I suspect this transformation in values is because of the New Testament, I have not researched this carefully and would appreciate being corrected if someone knew more about this. Even if this particular example is not correct, I suspect there are many other similar examples of the influence of the hidden Bible on our culture.

I think the author of the review is not trying to discount the association between the Bible and the Iliad, but instead is trying to dismiss the misconception that the Iliad was a "sacred text" like the Bible is.

The Iliad is filled with references to the gods, sacrifices, libations, oaths, prayers, and other trappings of religion---but it is poetry that was meant to entertain and Homer took poetic license. And the Greeks knew he took poetic license--that he "lied." The stories about Hera seducing Zeus and Ares having an affair with Aphrodite are comic, and were comic to the Greeks like they are to us. It appears that the Iliad influenced religious practice significantly, but it still doesn't seem right to call it a religious text.

Thus, I think the author of the review makes a fair comparison between the Bible and the Iliad.

Dumbbells especially adjustable ones do not take a lot of space and they are not only for the upper body muscles. Squats with dumbbells especially bolgarian ones is a good way to get muscles on legs and it is enough to do it once a week as long as weights are heavy enough so you cannot do more than 8-12 repetitions. But I would advise to pay an instructor for first few times to get the proper technique to avoid mistakes leading to injuries.
Take a look at `--rebase-merges` if you haven't. It's new and kind of amazing. Works much better than `--preserve-merges` in my experience.
So, some biology 101:

The lymphatic system is powered in part by the circulatory system and in part by physical activity (aka "exercise"). Fluid from the blood, minus certain blood products, goes out into the tissues and becomes interstitial fluid. Muscle action dramatically increases the rate at which it gets returned from the tissues to the blood.

This is the mechanism by which the body cleans up most tissues. Except for the brain. The brain has a separate mechanism whereby lymphatic fluid (aka interstitial fluid) gets flushed out, taking wastes with it, only during sleep. This is a primary function of sleep.

Personal firsthand experience suggests that exercise is frequently followed by napping precisely because these are separate systems. Exercise may start this process by flushing out other tissues, but your brain won't get flushed of wastes until you sleep.

If you want to benefit from this research, you will need to have good sleep hygiene in addition to exercising. From what I gather, aerobic exercise is likely to do more good from the perspective of powering the lymphatic system than weight lifting.
yeah that makes sense. Either way is a "safety first" approach, which is the most important factor.
For me, the problem is how incredibly slow Riot is (and every other client I've tried has almost unusable bad UI, sometimes in combination with being slow).

IMO: Text chat with a few emojis and images here and there should not ever be among the things that slows your computer to a crawl.

EDIT: I'm speaking of the UI, not the network connection; the latter is sometimes slow too, but that's understandable
I don't think that's true. Both paths he's describing are relatively lucrative. There are plenty of native born developers getting solid pay to do the less prestigious work of implementing specs.

It's just moving up the "value chain" is a lot more lucrative. The advice here applies to ambitious people who want to get paid even more.

Not sure how you come to that conclusion. Literally none of the notable Lisp AI programs (ELIZA, STUDENT, SHRDLU, AM, EURISKO, MICYN) had anything to do with reimplementing Prolog.

Implementing Prolog however is trivial in Lisp, so many textbooks used it as an intermediate level exercise.

> I really don't understand what people are upset about. Whether or not Google rolls out a censored search engine in China has no influence at all whatsoever in any way shape or form over whether or not the communist party will continue to enforce censorship.

I'll list out some of the issues:

1. The view the censorship is immoral. The argument that "we should help them because we can profit and they'll do it with or without us" has some very serious flaws that can be easily shown by a few thought experiments.

For instance: your colleague is going to rob a bank and there's nothing you can do to stop him, is it right for you to volunteer to drive the getaway car since he'll pay you handsomely if you do? If you don't drive, someone else will, and you'll be leaving money on the table.

> It's just business. Americans has been doing business with China, and the Chinese people for decades. In spite of the fact that the west and China are beholden to very different identities, we can still cooperate on things to the benefit of everyone.

2. Doing business with China gives the Communist Party leverage to influence corporate operations elsewhere for ideological reasons. They've shown increasing willingness to use that influence to push their political views (for a recent example, see the recent situation with how foreign airlines represent Taiwan on their foreign-language websites).

Imagine, ten years from now, Google because popular and profitable in mainland China. The Communist Party wants to manage Western perceptions of an issue (say Tibet) and gives Google an ultimatum: derank all pro-Tibet independence websites from the top 20 results of certain Tibet-related searches, or they'll shutdown their Chinese operations. What choice do you think the shareholder-value maximizing corporation is going to make?

>Surely I’m not the only one who just wants to exchange money for a flight, based roughly on the actual cost?

Cost per seat per mile flown depends on fuel prices, labor prices, business/leisure demand, origin and destination, weather, etc. If it was easy then we would see the options present themselves, there's not that high of a barrier to entry to become an airline. Many have tried and many have failed, so there must be some reason that it's in the state that it's in.

All of the price discrimination actually helps poorer people fly, as the people who are able and willing to pay more can help pay for a greater share of the costs of operating the airline.
Low reps (<=5) maximize strength, you're not going to get Arnold muscles if your goal is strength. Bodybuilding emphasizes size > strength and is more in the medium reps range (8-10). Higher reps basically turn into cardio and joint stability work.

True, but that type of decision requires a level of expertise that most consumers do not have . . . and those consumers that do, will have done the research to obtain the requisite information on their own. That data will be far more useful in coming up with a treatment plan with their physician.

I love the idea behind blockchains and smart contracts, but:

1) I don't think smart contracts should be programmed in JavaScript,

2) it would be better if smart contracts were actually treated as law,

3) most problems that are currently being hyped/solved with blockchain would better be solved with a public signed git repository, and

4) blockchains, as currently implemented, are immensely wasteful (I'm hoping this changes with more research).

Another way of looking at this is to focus on the what the client is buying, rather than what you are selling. We all lives in our own worlds, so by default we tend to think the client is buying what we are selling. If you can switch it around, then you can sell (and deliver) what they are buying.

Using the word 'victim' biases the headline. Until an allegation is proven, the person making the allegation is an 'accuser'. So the article should state that opinion has shifted against 'accusers'. If we wish to hold to the principle of "innocent until proven guilty" then we don't have a 'victim' until that proof standard is met. I don't believe that opinion has shifted against 'victims' if we adhere to the real (original?) definitions of words. Or, if we are living in a wonderland, then I guess words can mean whatever some unnamed mass media says they mean. If that's the case then like in the original wonderland "off with their heads".

Prediction markets are a form of gambling, but there is a key difference; whilst the purpose of traditional gambling markets is entertainment, the purpose of a prediction market is information discovery.

Some prediction markets can even be subsidised in order to incentivise participants, where the house (ie the entity running the market) expects to lose money in exchange for the information that the market is revealing. It is extremely rare to find this in a traditional gambling setting, where the house usually always reserves an edge.

This fact seems to have been largely missed by the guys behind Augur though, who seem to have focused more on the "blockchain" part of "prediction markets on the blockchain" than the "prediction market" part, and this shows through their clunky UX and relatively simple platform. Prediction markets have been around for decades (30 years ago the University of Iowa ran a market on the 1988 US election and is still running them today - https://iemweb.biz.uiowa.edu) and Augur doesn't seem to offer anything new above decentralisation, which I dont think anyone was asking for.
