I think the assumption here is that if you have multiple displays you would rarely need full screen apps in the first place. It's definitely a feature that works best on a laptop display. The best alternative I can think of is to full-screen all the windows on each display. So for example if you had 3 monitors with 3 Safari windows, one on each display, they would go full-screen on their respective display. (downside is it would be awkward to leave full screen since the controls for it reside on the menubar)
If you get rid of grains from where are you going to get the B vitamins? The grains have the advantage of having a lot of B vitamins while being ubiquitous.

P.S. I eat pork muscle, chicken breast, tuna, sardines, mackerel and eggs and while they are rich in vitamin B12 and some of the others, they don't seem to provide the full spectrum of B vitamins. On the other hand with grains you can't go wrong, you can be sure that you're going to get B1-B9 vitamins, especially if you eat a lot of bread like I used to.

> 1. Get rid of grains, legumes and sugars

This is only partially true; there is nothing wrong with unprocessed grains/legumes if eaten in moderation. This means whole grains and not processed wheat products. Actually the rest of your advice usually lines up with the "healthy carbs" mantra which refers to whole grains, legumes, nuts and some starches.

The other thing that should be mentioned is to eat as much low-calorie vegetables/greens as possible which helps fill you without adding to your calorie count (which is still important to some degree) and also important for getting vital minerals/nutrients.
The serious money is in the data products, I believe. The Google cars work by localizing themselves in very high quality maps obtained by post-processing data obtained by cars that drove the route already at least twice. The maps are checked and corrected by humans, for example to decide where the center of each lane is, and where to look for traffic lights.

The software alone is of limited value without access to the database. The current database of a subset of California's roads is about 20GB. They'll need to freshen it frequently, but renting access to the database is what I think the business model is in the long term.

this has got to do more with health rather than weight loss i guess.

legumes have 3 things that suck - lectins, protease inhibitors and phytates

lectins - known to cause inflammation and have been show to cause gut permeability which is followed by auto-immune type diseases.

protease inhibitors intefere with the breakdown of proteins into amino acids

phytates have been shown to inhibit mineral absorption

If you are squatting heavy, as you should be doing if you are training with the goal to increase your overall strength, walking up a couple floors shouldn't be too hard of a task and I am pretty sure there are more benefits to it than it would hurt your other goals.
Thanks for the responses. So far, I'm amused (or maybe amazed) by a few things:

1) No real review site for this purpose (startup idea!)

2) The number of searches that turn up /job listings/ instead of development firms. Many different variations of search terms bring them up. Going by Google, we really are as in demand as the popular press makes us out to be.

3) The number of "development offshoring navigation" firms. Apparently that area is like a shark filled sea (we are NOT looking for an offshoring firm. I finally excluded "offshore" and "offshoring" in my searches to get rid of the spam.)
That "Viper Hardcase 13" looks ideal. Thanks.
as per a post below the reason i shy away from grains/legumes are due to their lectins/protease inhibitors/phytates.

Sprouting them may limit these issues, but for me, healthy carbs are sweet potatos and some white rice now and then.
I don't think it really needs explanation - using the term "fisher price style" is quite a common way of describing that style.

For example:

Each Fisher Price style button leading through to a small nugget of information that users can consume very quickly and move on or should we continue designing pages that are more traditional in their layout (more text+images)?

classical argument of frameworks vs libraries.
there is nothing wrong with unprocessed grains/legumes if eaten in moderation

It probably depends on one's definition of "nothing wrong". The fact that grains, whole or not, are packed with antinutrients like gluten, phytic acid or lectins is well-known.

Here's the best summary on the subject that I've found so far:

Really? Because I lost 40lbs in four months last fall by meticulously counting my calories.

* You're strategy is vague and difficult to determine compliance. How much is a "decent amount"?

* My method is quantitative. Everything I ate had a number, and that number totaled less than 15 by the end of the day.

The problem I have with your method is the idea that I need to have a huge knowledge-base to make it work. How many people do you think know if their butter is "grass-fed"? If I go to Applebees, the calorie number is listed right on the menu, yet I would never be able to find out if their butter is grass-fed.

I put off trying to lose weight for years because I thought I needed to read 10 books to figure out how. Turns out all I needed was a calculator.
Show HN: Follow Users On Instagram Without an iPhone
Hello HN, I just baked in a new feature on my site Instagrid.me, which allows anyone to subscribe to an Instagram user's feed with their email address and receive new uploads to their inbox. My goal was to provide a way for non-iPhone users to get in on the Instagram craze. It's a nice way to let friends, family, or fans subscribe to your pics. This was a weekend project inspired by bmull's Morningpics. Check it out at http://Instagrid.me

Why would someone design a RESTful API with 'API' in the URI?
It lacks the fact that I can't communicate (even with Facebook's penetration) to probably a 25% of my friends.

Atleast 50% of my friends don't really get into the social networking. Either not having accounts or checking it once a week/month. I would say 95% of the people I now have email addresses and I can communicate with them.

When ever I see stats its always x amount of people use this per month. And I thinks for the same reason that exists in my friends. They don't care to much for that much about these sites.

I would guess over 90% of the content on FB is from 10% of my friends. The rest aren't so excited about it. So far none of my friends are really using Google+, and the ones that are I could say less about the content they are posting.

So I think you are misguided, and are under estimating how little interest a business is going to have towards storing there business data on what for many (including several of my own products) is a competitors system.

Perhaps streaming logs would help you out? My employer dumps a preposterous amount of log data constantly via streaming log systems (we use log4j, but there are solutions for syslogs, etc.). Aside from a few early hiccups, it works pretty well.
Yes and no. Live.js will do that sort of reloading for you, but it won't host it for you. You'd also have to set up on the fly SCSS=>CSS compilation. Neither of those are hard, but the idea is that you don't have to do any of that sort of annoying work.
Ask HN: How do you know you're ready to quit your day job?
This has been puzzling me for a while now and I was hoping HN would be so kind as to provide advice and feedback.

I'd love to quit my day job to pursue working full time on a project I've been working on with a couple of people for more than half a year now, but I don't quite know at what stage that's generally not too crazy of an idea. Obviously if I were to do it right now, I'd be without any income whatsoever, which is a fairly bad idea, even though I don't have any dependents. I imagine I could quit if the seed round was sufficiently beefy, but it's my understanding that most people end up waiting until they have real customers and serious income and then they actually jump ships.

I honestly don't know how long I can continue doing the whole 80 hour weeks for, if half of that is spent on a drudgy dead-end job (I'd honestly be ok with spending that much on my own company), and as I found out it's pretty hard to keep the two separated if so much of your energy is drained by the "secret project". I feel management will eventually catch on to what's going on heh.

Do you have similar experiences to share? Any tips? Any rules of thumb?
I haven't heard of any internal Apple course. I would have thought it'd be all over the news. Do you have any references to this? I'm curious as to the content.
that's great you lost weight, but for me, and i assume others, counting calories is just another thing to think about in life.

forget the grass-fed butter, i shouldn't have added it in. the reason i said decent amount, is because it's not a quantitive amount. have a steak or some chicken every day.

a good diet is one that has the least work and you can stick with for life.

Eat lots of fat, some protein, little carbs.

I think Mixpanel should invest a serious effort into creating some tutorials on how to do event tracking in a way that helps your business. I suspect a lot of more people would use the service to its full potential if they knew how.

That is a massive project. Have you looked at Google Translate? Hundreds of computer scientists have worked on it for decades and it still is not very good. But if you are motivated ....

My personal preference would be to use Python (it's available on Windows, Mac and Linux). There is a very nice natural language toolkit available for Python which will help you with parsing the input language. During the early stages you want to experiment with algorithms more than being worried about speed, optimization can come later.

This is Hacker News, where it is generally understood that most people will have a fairly technical background (it's not called "Hacker News" for nothing). And the review is on Ars Technica, which also targets a technical audience. John Siracusa's reviews of new versions of Mac OS X are famous, as they provide all of the technical details that most other reviewers don't. I understand that's not what you are looking for, but that's what the target audience of Hacker News and Ars Technica wants, and I certainly appreciate it.

I think it's hard to appreciate the post if you haven't worked in J2EE land back in that era (2005). Just reading that gave me bad flashbacks. "Frameworks", especially on the webstack side of things have gotten a lot saner over the years.

What was the state of "frameworks" in 2005, particularly in Java-land. Struts? Spring? Anything that didn't make you want to gouge your eyes out?

Even outside of Java-land, Rails had yet to hit 1.0, and Django was just starting. The evolution of the framework has come a long way in 6 years, and frameworks have become less "one size fits all" and more task-appropriate.

I think a more appropriate title for this post is: "Why I Hate circa-2005 Java Frameworks"
Curious, according to Intel, it the i3 doesn't do ECC: http://www.intel.com/support/processors/corei3/sb/CS-031175....

But the Supermicro board says it can: http://www.supermicro.com/xeon_3400/Motherboard/X8SIL.cfm

The board also supports Xeon processors, so it might be that it only supports ECC with Xeon. However, I didn't see anything in the docs to support this, instead it says "Dual Core processors of Ci3 and Pentium: support ECC UDIMM only"

I'm curious since I ended up springing for Xeon in my system specifically for ECC. Now I'm wondering if I made a mistake...

Knowing that open proxies have been a source of problems for e.g. IRC and email services, the designers of Tor intentionally made it technically impossible to hide an exit node to help mitigate the potential for abuse.
Don't know why you're getting down voted, seems to me this is the obvious reason (if not 10.7.1 then 10.7.x). These are clearly bugs, and I agree, they make these features kind of useless for me on my main setup. Prior to Lion I already used a "poor man's fullscreen" by manually making the windows these sizes on each screen. Was hoping this would make things better but instead made it infinitely worse.
