Well, I would say that it's understandable for a layperson, logically sound and has heaps of links to peer reviewed literature. This alone brings it to the top 1% of everything written on the subject.

Based on this, I think I'll eat what tastes good. :-)

Based on this:

You claim whole grains have sufficient minerals to negate their toxic effects. Pity that the high phytate content of whole grains binds to minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium, and zinc in the gastrointestinal tract, significantly reducing their absorption by the body[6-8]. While they increase the dietary content of zinc, iron, magnesium and calcium when compared to refined grains, they also promptly increase the excretion of these minerals from the body. The end result is that overall mineral status improves only marginally, remains unchanged, or even worsens[7-12]. If you want to increase your mineral intake, whole grains are a pretty poor way to do it. Far better choices would be fresh non-cereal, non-leguminous plant foods, mineral-rich waters (look for a high magnesium:calcium ratio), ionic mineral solutions such as those sourced from Utah’s Great Salt Lake, and highly bioavailable mineral supplements such as those complexed to citrate, picolinate, etc.

I will not. :-)
The main problem I have is finding good, reliable research material. So many of the studies I've seen have tiny or overly narrow samples. If you know of any good sources that are available online please let me know.
While I have not read that book it looks fairly biased.

Argument ad hominem much? I agree that the author has an axe to grind, but she backs her claims up with research.

And anecdotally her claims match my experience. I've seen a lot of friends/relatives/acquaintances get divorces, and from what I've seen the men generally want to see the kids some, but usually want the women to take the bulk of the child-raising work. Exact visitation arrangements get contested, but men seem more than happy to leave most of the work to the mom.
There are a LOT of in-browser scheme-like variants.
Then let's agree to agree. :)
In a highly technical post like this I'm never sure how well I'm explaining it. I tried to keep things at the high school trig/algebra II level for this one. I've proofread it a billion times now but is there anything I can clarify?
Interesting.

In that light (a self directed, non-mandatory common group activity), I don't understand how it could come across as a bad thing.
If you have a cipher that produces a stream of good pseudorandom numbers, you can use that as a one time pad. Forging is trivial.

If I remember correctly: For the individual messages OTR uses Diffie-Hellman to exchange the key. That means your dialog partner knows the same key, and could have produced the message, too.

ClojureScript seeks to address the weak link in the client/embedded application development story by replacing JavaScript with Clojure, a robust, concise and powerful programming language. In its implementation, ClojureScript adopts the strategy of the Google Closure library and compiler, and is able to effectively leverage both tools, gaining a large, production-quality library and whole-program optimization. ClojureScript brings the rich data structure set, functional programming, macros, reader, destructuring, polymorphism constructs, state discipline and many other features of Clojure to every place JavaScript reaches.

Fake Apple Stores Sprout Up Abroad
http://www.nal.usda.gov says that 70 grams (~ a can) of "Fish, tuna, light, canned in water, drained solids" has:

- 0.022 mg of Thiamin; RDA is 1.4 mg

- 0.052 mg of Riboflavin; RDA is 1.2 mg

- 9.296 mg of Niacin; RDA is 16 mg

- 0.150 mg of Pantothenic acid; RDA is 5 mg

- 0.245 mg of Vitamin B-6; RDA is 1.3 mg

- 2.09 mcg of Vitamin B-12; RDA is 2.4

So while tune does have enough of some B vitamins, it does not have enough of the others.

True. Though thats not a generic storage service in the sense of S3 or Google Storage. Some also think its a "trojan" to detect pirated media :-)

On that note: I could not find any real detail about this - do they encrypt your files? what kind of privacy/security do they promise? I am assuming the media files do get de-duped across all users, but what about other, personal docs, spreadsheets, pdf etc?

Node.js + clojurescript just came up in the Demo. Part of me says awesome, another part says "How many hipster programmer brains blew up" <_<.

Overall I'm excited about this and anxious to see how far it can be taken, because if you can write an ENTIRE webapp in clojure is thought provoking.

That's not too big a problem. The developer tools include a tool called lipo that can easily remove unwanted architectures from fat binaries.
It's interesting how closely tied to Google Closure this is. I wonder if that will present issues in the future. Regardless, ClojureScript has definitely made really smart use of it.

Anecdotally, yes.

Apple uses the term "universal" in somewhat inconsistent ways. In the Get Info window, it means what you say. But in developer documentation, it tends to mean a fat binary, with PPC/x86 being the most common pair.
Before you bail put a "business plan" together.
How much (how little) do you need to earn to meet your living expenses? What can you do to earn that amount while you work on your project? What skills can you market? To whom?

When I left my full time job, I was able to freelance write for tech pubs and blogs, and my partner hacked code in a developer-for-hire position. Look for the kinds of jobs where you can manage your time, schedule and how much you earn.
If you push in the "Stick" button, changes are not lost if you refresh. It does also have a save button, but yes, you still need to upload the change. (Even though I tend to copy/paste instead of using this.)

But, this is---for me---a one time thing, after I've made all the changes I want and things look great. It makes the CTRL-S, Alt-Tab, Reload procedure that was originally described only need to happen once, instead of lots of times in rapid succession.

Node.js is the pragmatic choice for ClojureScript command line apps. One of Clojure's weaknesses was that the JVM was not a great choice for these types of scripts. ClojureScript + Node.js effectively solves this problem.
Work is different from producing value.

Of course, it's easy to say that "well the fact that they get paid well is indicative of value-produced!" This is only true, however, within a particular cultural paradigm that we've constructed and is by no means universal or timeless.

And, no, simply working long hours does not mean that investment banking or consulting are somehow not lucky. The fact that as a revealed preference privileged people often choose to work in those fields over others points to it being a pretty good play for them.

I am in India, and have a connection that is 256Kbps. This is sufficient for most things, but I cannot get Lion from Apple.

I don't mind waiting for 40 hours for ~4GB to download, but the likelihood that a connection in India is sustained for more than 10-15 minutes is rather low. The problem here isn't with the speed (it is with that as well), but with the reliability of the connection. Even at 8MBPS, this download will still take about an hour and it's rare that the connection won't be randomly dropped during that hour.

Why can't Apple download these things smartly like BitTorrent? Why this behemoth of a download? Why not break it up into smaller pieces of ~10-20MB each, with a checksum for all these pieces so that WHEN (in India it's WHEN, not if) the connection gets dropped, you're only effectively losing 10-20 MB of downloaded data, not losing an entire GB or more of downloaded material.
To me, it almost seems silly not to do this. Is Apple really this ignorant of flaky internet connections?
But that makes no sense! The time component is kinda important, you can’t just remove it.

I’m not crying over the purchase of my 64MB, 350MHz and 4GB PC in 1998 because if I were to remove the time component the price I paid for it was way, way, way too high. That’s absurd, you don’t do that.

Given a radical departure from the JavaScript core (comparing to Coffeescript), I wonder how easy the debugging would be.

Do you have any / know of any good documents about C obfuscation? I think that is the part that fascinates me most.
Two easy rules I've settled on for diet, mostly revolving around GI:

1. Regularly add vinegar(any kind) to most meals, or drink it diluted in water. This dramatically lowers effective GI of carbs so overconsumption is more difficult. It also has some (complex, but mostly positive) effects on body acidity and digestion. Vinegar has been documented for its properties since ancient Greek times, so it's one of the most proven aids around.

2. The _context_ in which things are consumed matters more than the _amount_. For this I mostly stick to a single rule: Meals should be either "carb meals" or "saturated fat" meals. Preferably neither, but never both.

Saturated fat acts to raise effective GI and this is the main source of the "badness" in meals like pizza, "super" burritos, burger+fries, macaroni+cheese, etc. But sausage and sauerkraut, or cheese in a green salad are relatively low-impact combinations, despite having a nominally high level of sat-fat. Similarly, even drinking a can of Coke(massive sugar-carb dose, the worst kind) can be OK once in a while, but if you have Coke with lard-soaked fries or full-fat ice cream you're signing up for the sick train.

There are tons of other contextual rules you can stack on for caffeine, gluten, the best types of fats, the best preparation methods, etc. but the sat-fat/carb one is the biggest bang-for-buck one I've found, and combining that with vinegar to mitigate the worst-case situations I can remain pretty flexible about what I'm eating.

Those goals aren't exactly "win the Olympic Games", "make a contribution to P=NP?", etc.

It's good to set goals and meet them, but there are qualitative differences between the experience of completing a major project with substantial uncertainty and a lot of pressure vs. "2009: Make it to a Ruby conference".

Drawing the conclusion that "everyone's vague, important motivations are more a matter of willpower than anything else" is making some pretty major assumptions about the modesty of everyone's motivations.

"NaN-tagging: 64 bit tagged values are used for stack slots and table slots. Unboxed floating-point numbers (doubles) are overlayed with tagged object references. The latter can be distinguished from numbers via the use of special NaNs as tags. It's a remote descendant of pointer-tagging.

[The idea dates back to 2006, but I haven't disclosed it before 2008. Special NaNs have been used to overlay pointers before. Others have used it for tagging later on. The specific layout is of my own devising.]" [1]

Are there perhaps well established venues for being hired as a temp/contractor on existing projects? Some reputable site perhaps that gets you in touch with people in need of specific expertise?
Obviously you're ready to make the move save for the financial situation.

I'm not sure if this is good advice because I've just thought of it and figured I'd suggest it, but what about getting a basic job that pays your essential bills/food away from technology. I imagine that many people freelance or shift to part-time and the line between that work and their start-up is blurred meaning that neither really gets full focus.

What if you found a job away from a computer? I know most of those wouldn't pay exceptionally well, but perhaps that separation would help? You'd come home from a bar or gallery and step into your startup space to get working. Are there any fairly-available non-tech jobs in your location that pay reasonably well?

Startup Quote x Women 2.0: Leah Culver, Co-founder, Convore
Web framework? Do you mean Google Closure? If so, bear in mind that the compilation phase will remove unused code, so you're not forced to carry any of it with you if you never use it in your code. As for Node, you do not need it I suppose, but I do not have experience using straight-up V8.
WebObjects was in its prime in 2005, and ran circles around everything out there (Java or not). Even in it's completely unsupported (by Apple) state today, it probably still runs circles around most of the frameworks.
Are you saying you'll not officially quit your job, but instead announce a several months leave hoping you can score an outside opportunity in the meantime, and still have a plan B in case you tank?

That's a very interesting perspective! I've actually not had non-tech jobs so far and so I haven't even remotely considered doing something that doesn't involve software...

I partly agree. For example: I don't see any code revisions been maintained for the changes which for any big development firm will be annoying.

I think there is a lot of changes that can be done to make this a better solution. But as it stands if being used by a small company I can see some merits.

However, I would be cautious about putting something in a beta stage on any site with enough value.
The impression I got is the core syntax is all there, you just don't get access to the jvm libraries anymore.
That doesn't explain software house behavior at all. Development organizations take shortcuts and intentionally incur technical debt in order to hit the market window. If you don't have short-term sales success then there's no revenue to fund long-term improvements.

And how can you design "decent systems" that are adaptable to change? It's impossible to reliably predict what changes will be needed. Most software products evolve in entirely unpredictable ways. There are some general software engineering best practices for modularity and layering but beyond that you're getting into YAGNI territory.
