Of course. Most dieters don't have access to a ventilated hood indirect colorimeter, so they have to rely on a method for estimating their BMR.

What I'm saying is that the difference between their measured BMR and estimated BMR (using either Harris-Benedict, WHO, or Schofield equations) is a minor factor.

I was just wondering if you had a chance to think about this. I am really interested in hearing what you have to say.
Flash has certain disadvantages that favor using a controller instead of direct addressing like DRAM. To make SSDs fast, you have to do wear leveling, command queueing, and parallelization of requests across all flash chips. Oh and when a cell fails, you have to remap spare cells. Doing this stuff in software would be a giant pain.

You can get raw flash chips, but it's hard to get decent performance and reliability out of them. That sort of setup is usually for embedded systems where writing is rare and read performance isn't important. Firmwares for switches and routers, for example.
O yeah. I just organized one that netted (after expenses) three times my annual salary as an IBM consultant.
I hope you tried it but it's a web app where you can quickly browse the location on the map with instant suggestions. Once you press enter ,it'll give you the current weather on that location. Then if you choose to know the nearest churches, clinics, hospitals etc. it also provide you. Keep browsing or moving the map and it will update the nearest points you choose. I think its a great way to quickly find out the nearest restaurants, bars etc on a certain area.

You can do similar in scala, either

or

The problem with Visual Studio tools are COM, and a very high overhead to get something simple working.

There are a lot of magic incantations you need to know to write VS plugins. If you don't get the magic words right nothing happens.

If you have programmers on staff who know Visual Studio inside out, it's pretty easy to get stuff working. Like, say if your company had the team who wrote Visual Studio.

Also, the tool support for F# sucks, basically the only thing Visual Studio will do for you in F# is intellisense.

Drag a dbml file into an F# project? Nope, sorry doesn't work.

xaml? same thing.

ASP.NET? yeah right.

If you want tool support in VS you better open up the project file and start adding it in.

There is a distinct difference between usable states and modal images. With states you want the rich navigable history and the other you want to open it and close it, but not page through it.

I'm not buying it. ISPs have had access to way more request data for years and haven't had success selling advertising. Site owners, privacy advocates and net neutrality folks would freak out and shut it down in a heart beat.
Does that make it "broken" or just incompatible with your expectations? Would other non-technical users have the same expectations? It's possible other users will want to go "back" to the image they last visited.

Consider if this was done just HTML 4 and no CSS or Javascript. You would click a thumbnail and a new page would be loaded with a full size version of the image. You would then click a "close" button that would take you to the page with the thumbnails again. If you hit "back" you would go back to the image.

The way the page currently works follows the "stack" of what I actually visited by clicking links. If I want to reverse my workflow after visiting all 5 images and closing between them, I personally would expect the back button to go through all 5 images. From this perspective, doing the same effect with Javascript that doesn't update the stack might surprise me if after clicking 10 links on this page, a single click of the browser back button skips 10 steps of my workflow and returns me to HN.
My very non-technical company has worked tirelessly at running their organization in the way bettermeans describes. And while I am privileged to work in such an environment, their execution of these concepts have been horrendous.

I've tried countless times to introduce them to the type of systematic analytical thinking that comes so naturally to me, hoping that it would become a tool that helps them achieve this goal. For 10 months, that hasn't worked.

And now, some really clever people have created this software which I fully believe could be used to accomplish the working environment I originally agreed to be a part of, I wonder if my community isn't ready, and if the noise will do more harm in the long run if not introduced at a better time.

As for the app. I am very excited to see Professional Problem Solvers applying themselves to a massive problem, and then having that problem overhauled from the ground up; Software or otherwise.

I hope to see more projects like this come out of our profession in the coming years.
How to ask people embarrassing questions in surveys.
Instead of developing a language similar to Java (C#) or similar to Ruby/Python (F#) or investing in companies / ideas they were not successful at (Social Network / MSN 10 years ago), I think they need to bring back the "Bill Gates" innovative spirit... what's the language of choice 5 years from now? what are the hurdles most developers are going through today and how are they solving them?
Why would you not just say 10-20 hours then? If you know that you're going to wear any overrun costs, you owe it to yourself to give the estimate based on the worst case, NOT the average case.

Edit: If you think that 20 is a real outlier, and 12 is your average case, use something like the PERT formula:
( [Optimistic] + [4* Realistic] + [Pessimistic] ) / 6

If O=10, R=12 and P=20, that would give you an estimate of 13 hours.
It's mostly a "niche vision" effect. I know a lot of cool kids that do use C#, list comprehensions, Linq, and appreciate .Net a lot.

Some of them also believe Python, Ruby etc are for kiddies :)
back in time, there was several schools for language syntax design for composite statements:

1. "Open" statements (Pascal):

IF x
THEN s1
ELSE s2;

IF x
THEN
BEGIN
s1;
s2
END
ELSE
BEGIN
s3;
s4
END

WHILE c DO s;

WHILE c DO
BEGIN
s1;
s2
END

The problem with this design was need to use blocks (BEGIN ... END) and complex rules in case of nesting.

2. "Closed" statements (Algol 68)

IF x
THEN
s1;
s2
ELSE
s3;
s4
FI // END IF

WHILE c DO
s1;
s2
OD // END WHILE

You can see new kind of parenthesis IF-FI, DO-OD, etc.

I more like "closed" syntax. But C syntax with it's brackets blocks "{...}" instead of "BEGIN...END" made this less an issue.
They clearly don’t. That was a bit of hyperbole on my part. I do love them very much, though, they are definitely the best non-fried vegetable.

"They all look alike": Understanding the "other race effect"
I think that's a strawman.

I personally would argue that an 80 hour week isn't the same as two 40 hour weeks. It would probably be more like a 40 hour week and a 20 hour week. The end result? You get something done sooner, but you end up putting in a lot more time than you would if you just worked 40 hours a week. It's more efficient for the company because they're getting a product faster and only paying for 40 hours worth of work a week. But it's less efficient for the employee because they're putting in many more hours in total to do the same task but only getting paid as if they were working 40 hours a week.

In my experience, working long hours is only good in the short-term. Sometimes that is necessary. But it is almost never a good idea in the long-term.
The Blacklist: the not so "cool" one
Yeah just like those devs at EA. If you aren't willing to sleep in your cube then you obviously are just "doing the minimum". If making gamers love you isn't what you live for then maybe EA isn't the right place for you. Poor project planing with deadlines that can't be met without 12hr days isn't the problem. Passion, that is our problem we just have way to much of it. Cause you know if we let people have friends and do stuff outside of work then some of that Passion might leak out and we wouldn't want that to happen.
Worse is when there's a series of images being displayed in a lightbox and because the whole thing "needs" to be centered and the navigation is not absolutely positioned, the next and previous buttons move around on the screen.

Have to agree that although this is a nice pic, it prob has nothing to do with Diwali. There's no way that India's current infrastructure can handle/generate all that electricity. It's a nice dream but unfortunately not reality.

Though a bright spot (no pun intended) is that a lot of remote villages (and there are a ton of them) utilize solar, biogas, and other alternatives as their primary source of energy. Really cool stuff.
F# is used in quite a number of firms, especially in the Chicago area I am aware of a handful of companies. Initially it was used just for prototyping/modeling type stuff, but more and more it is seeing the light of day in production. It will never see the adoption scale of Java/C# but that isn't the point or the goal.

It makes sense as well if you follow the history of most of these trading firms. Most of them started out just manipulating excel spreadsheets. Then brought in vb macros and such and then from there some diverge into java or go straight to some functional programming solution like ocaml with jane street, but others stay tied to msft with C#. Then F# comes along and allows intelligent developers at these msft firms to express themselves more clearly when dealing with the type of math problems they are solving.

If the firm is using C# I am almost certain that F# is in the mix there as well.

Incidentally, the door close button does work in Japan. And you can cancel erroneous floor selections.

(The funny part is that the elevators are made by the same companies that make them for the US market. But they seem to be "updated technology" rather than the 1930s-holdovers that we have today.)

The most modern elevator system I've used is the one at the new Bank of America Tower. You type the number of the floor you want to go to on a keypad, then the display tells you which elevator to take. You go in, and there are no buttons at all. It seems cumbersome, but it really does seem to reduce waiting time. (And annoying people that hold the elevator for all their friends. These elevators just smash the offender, solving the problem for good.)
I'd like to echo this. The grand vision makes it sound like the product isn't suitable for my needs, when it is suitable (and possibly desirable!). My needs, and the needs of many people who might want to give you money, are mostly humble. It would be nice if the generic messaging spoke directly to more normal needs.

That said, I think a grand vision is both good to have and important to convey. It's great fodder for a blog. Tell your big story on your blog, highlight how your tool contributes to your vision, and promote it like crazy.
It's still insulting.

I'm saying that I believe that diet has a real effect on metabolism. Not basal metabolism, but on the ability to maintain a given activity level. If you try and restrict your calorie intake, you will be less likely to go on a run, take a walk - etc. This is why Harris-Benedict may not be a good tool to manage long term weight loss, even though it is a useful predictive tool.
I'd seen a few of these pages before, but never known what they were called.

F# is not like Ruby/Python at ALL. F# is statically typed for one, variables are by default immutable, let me give you an example, tell me what you think the following prints?

let somefunc() =
let i = 10
i = 11
printfn "%s" (somefunc().ToString())

it prints "false", not 11.

F# is a lot like ocaml, which it was syntax compatible with for many years.

Most developers in the non-web sphere are dealing with multi-core and async issues. F# solves these problems very elegantly.
This is pretty poorly written, even if his point is valid. TiVo to RIM is an apples to oranges comparison. You can't surmise that because RIM had $15b in revenues and TiVo had $240m that the difference is humility. It might just be that there is a lot more money in Blackberries than DVRs. It might be that RIM faced no real challenge in the early years, whereas TiVo faced challenges from every cable company and electronics maker who partnered together to make their own DVRs.

Everyone knew what a TiVo was regardless of the description. It was such a hot topic that blogs about it made fortunes from AdSense in the early years. Perhaps calling themselves a better VCR would have worked out, but I can't imagine it would have been an extra $14.75 billion.
For folks wondering about what the "CoffeeScript is about to get even more interesting" bit is about, it's just the past month of changes since 0.9.4, which are considerable indeed:

If this article inspires you to get started, and you don't mind doing a little bit of legwork to figure out syntactic changes, I'd recommend starting with master instead of 0.9.4.
In that case, your previous statement was disingenuous. You were implying that Google Voice wasn't taking off because you knew no-one who used it, which is deliberately misleading.

Great, that's what I was hoping to hear. I find a lot of programming books seriously hard on my wrists to the extent that I have to read them sitting at a desk. I believe the kindle may transform my current negative opinion of pdfs which I find to be a pain to read on a PC/laptop.
Ditto. This prescribes a new concept AND new tools. I'd like to learn more about how you developed the tools, and if it's all just a vision, or if it's been tested in real orgs (or just self-hosted).

For what it's worth I've had similar ideas, less enterprise focused though. Kudos to you for launching!
His point was that eating less carbs leads to eating less total calories (through suppression of appetite). He didn't claim that eating two different foods comprising the same # of calories lead to different amount of weight loss.

Mockingbird goes 1.0, introduces real-time collaboration using OT and Node
Currently receiving RSUs & work for a company that provides financial reporting solutions for companies that reward with equity. Part of the lock-in is simply the desire of the employee to wait for the vest date.

Simply put, for the first year, I received a non-negligible amount of RSUs that vest evenly over 2 years beginning a year after grant. I was receiving these on a monthly basis based on company performance. My first awards began vesting in June of this year, and will continue (monthly) until March of next, with the second half of the grants beginning vesting in June of next again.

It's a pretty strong argument to convince me to stay until at least March of 2012, which at least keeps me here for as long as I've been anywhere else (will have been a total of 4 years). Additionally these shares vest and the value is deposited into my ESPP plan, making it a no brainer to hold onto these shares for the time being, as the company is continuing to grow.

RSUs are a great benefit to the employee, there's no cost up front to them, and it's an obvious correlation between share price & value - vs options that can sometimes be very confusing for employees.

Like OpenDNS however, any further grants coming my way are more likely to be of the Option variety. Personally options are less of a reason for me to stay - if they're granted at a price that is "just out of reach" - there's not going to be much benefit for those 100000 options granted at $1 when the stock price is $1.01.

Lastly, nobody has to pay to quit, often times an option exercise is simply an exercise to cover cost of shares - so the 100000 options at $1.00 would be a benefit of $1000, without the employee having to front the $100000.

I don't care about anything else you've mentioned.

Nobody cares what you read or what you have to say. The books are a tilt too. The only people who care about your blog of personality thing you have going is because they aspire to make money off of their 'personality' and otherwise not being productive.

Typical anti-work/productivity culture really. This kind of nonsense is the mainstream, not your OH SO RANDOM 'antics'.
Nice idea but looks pretty random .. perhaps too little data ?
Or they can work for the TSA and get access to health care. If your 'respect' for them as humans is conditional on them acquiescing to life at the absolute lowest (legal) tier, I suspect they can live without it.

What I'm really saying here is that a decent sense of situational awareness would indicate that being a jerk at the airport is too little too late. As in individual, you've already been socially isolated, so the effort is going to be exceedingly counterproductive, in that you're only going to prompt further hardening.

If you're one of the many many people for whom air travel is essential, you're going to find more effective routes to common cause long before you get to the departure gate.

I can't honestly say where they are. I suspect something will need to be created before any real leverage exists. I just know that if I were looking for a place to develop this, the least viable option would be by myself, at the gate, doing something that's far more likely to harm me and the people who are depending on me to get somewhere that the people who are practically looking for a fight.
I don't like the lack of down-voting. If you're afraid of good things being down-voted too soon, why don't you do a nonlinear transformation from the number of down-voters to the negative score?

* example: based upon a similarity score of people's upvotes, look for broad-based support for downvotes
