Anybody that argues otherwise should familiarise themselves with the cab rank rule - "the obligation of a barrister to accept any work in a field in which he professes himself competent to practise, at a court at which he normally appears and at his usual rates. In the absence of such a rule it might be difficult for an unpopular person to obtain legal representation, and barristers who act for such people might be criticised for doing so."

Not this again...

* The first level consumer of a log message is a human.
* The programer knows what information is needed to debug an issue.

I believe these presumptions are no longer correct in server side software.

The author's assumptions are wrong on both cases:

There may be any number of automated agents consuming the log, so a human isn't the largest consumer of log messages (in volume), but it is the first consumer of log messages as it is a human that ultimately will need them to troubleshoot issues.

Programmers are not the ones who "debug" issues in production environments.

Both of these are just symptoms of the same base misconception about how systems administrators go about their work. The same misconception that brought us XML configuration files.

When troubleshooting production issues I want to be able to grep for specific strings or regular expressions. I want to be able to tail the log. I do not want to have to parse structure (programatically or mentally), I do not want multi-line log entries. I do not want to be forced to use a tool just to transform the log from whatever format into something I can read.

Going even further: often production issues arise when only people less familiar with the system are available locally. In these cases I don't want to explain log structure over the phone.

Balance is something I've never really understood. Ive been working on the present startup full-time for 3 months. Took me a good two months to figure out I shoukd only be doing one startup at a time. Lol... Sigh ... Old habits I guess die hard.

Anyway can't say I'm not happy though. I bounce out of bed everyday and I feel blessed that I can focus on one project for once in my life. Feels very selfish of me though for whatever reason.

I think it helped me that something really bad happened to me exactly at the start of my startup journey. It's made the startup life seem easy by comparison. I actually feel like I'm not pushing myself enough ...
> Sometimes I wonder if I'm creating any value in the world. ... Hopefully this'll be a stepping stone towards financing a startup that'll be a little more meaningful.

I think almost everyone thinks this, but y'know what?

It's a lie. People keep saying they'll do what really motivates and engages them real, real soon... just as soon as this obviously-must-be-done thing is done.

But life, life is a series of obviously-must-be-done things. At some point, you need to stop doing them and start doing what actually matters to you.

You can break away from the grinding routine in a responsible, steady way. Easiest way to start? Wake up 1-3 hours earlier, and spend your peak creative time on something incredibly meaningful to you. Could you do that?

I don't trust the future. Everyone says they're going to do things in the future, and most people don't do 90% of them. If you're really serious about changing the world, the best time to start is yesterday, but the second best time to start is right now.

Electronic medical records not always linked to better care in Hospitals

In what format should that filter output? Which fields should it show? Should it be specific for the application or should it be generic? What parameters should it accept in this case?

Do you see where I'm going with this?

We have been using text-based logs and text-based pipes on unix for decades, even though it has always been inefficient to parse (especially on ancient machines). The thing is: it's much more efficient for humans.

I understand the kind of cognitive dissonance this causes in programmers, I feel it myself. However, I've also been a sysadmin for a few years now and understand just how having plain text makes my life (much) easier.
Even musk had to do x.com before getting todo something spectacular and civilization changing.

Although I am probably not the intended audience of your message, I can't agree with the sentiment. Akrasia has to have a reason, even if it makes no rational sense, and all my believing in "stop doing [unimportant things] and start doing what actually matters" seems to do is make me feel guilty and worthless for being unable to find the motivation to do what actually matters to me. I know what I'd like to be doing, but I also know I'm not motivated to do it. What's a real solution?

For me, it's usually like an electrical buzz. But sometimes it's more like a gunshot, a tearing sheet of paper, or an indecipherable vocal shout.

The sound does not feel dreamlike at all (like sounds you imagine while in a hypnagogic state.) I can imagine a first-timer might mistake it for an external event and rising in shock to look for the source of the disturbance.

The sound is of short duration (about 0.2s) and is loudest at the end of the sound, cutting off sharply into total silence ("...wwwWWWHOMP!") It's very loud, but not painful like a real report in a quiet room would be. The loudness feels like 120 dB or so. The sound is absolutely "pure," missing environmental cues like position, echo, and pressure. I perceive the location to be smack-dab in the middle of my head, not anywhere outside my physical body (a bit like headphones.) Because of this, and because I have been cued to the impending sound (see below), there is no danger of mistaking it for something real.

The chronology when my head goes boom:

T minus 30 seconds: I'm in bed, eyes closed. It always happens before or at the beginning of hypnagogia.

T minus 10 seconds: I get a feeling somewhat akin to a sudden pressure drop in my ears (but without any popping or physical symptoms). This is a cue that tells me to expect an explosion.

T: The pseudo-aural pressure cue suddenly ends by "transforming" into a short, explosive sound. Heart rate starts to rise rapidly. My eyes remain closed and my musculoskeletal system usually don't react, as the sound doesn't scare or surprise me.

T plus 5 seconds: Heart is beating as fast as it can go. At this point it feels almost exactly like right after snapping awake from a night terror, but without the fear component.

T plus 60 seconds: Heart rate begins to decline to normal levels.

I really suggest trying out the Pomodoro Technique(http://www.pomodorotechnique.com/). It might actually be a bit tricky to really do it right, but you must take all breaks and actually step away from the computer, stretch, walk around, and drink water. I work in bursts of 25 minutes working on one single task, none of that multitasking crap. After 4 Pomodoros you must take a longer break. The hard part for many people is to actually drop what they're doing and take the damn breaks, but once you get used to it, you'll be golden. Working with the Pomodoro Technique lets you get tons of work done without working and straining yourself so hard.
If it's not really, really loud and sudden, I would guess that not exploding head, but a hallucination common to hypnagogic states.

this occurs with me periodically. It scares me in the same way someone hiding and going boo scares me. The first time you're really scared, after that it's just something that happens sometimes.

To answer your question, it doesn't sound like it's in my head. It sounds as if I were to play someone screaming or buzzing over some headphones.
> "I do need to correct the author on one point though - I did find a native email client on it."

Which is nigh unusable. I set up my email account on it and went to bed with it at 70% charge. I woke up with the Kindle Fire at 20%. It drained 50% in about 8-9 hours doing nothing more than email.

Yes, idle email checking uses power, but I have never seen it that bad on any device. The battery is no slouch either based on normal reading/video drain rates.

My Fire's battery has been dry for 4 weeks and counting now. I have no felt even the slightest urge to recharge it and use it. Considering this is a low-margin device designed to hook people onto Amazon's profitable content pipeline, this is an utter and abject failure. Others I know who got the Fire at launch have all either returned it, or their Fires have a fate similar to mine - forgotten in a drawer.
You know what blows my mind but everyone takes for granted?

Inertia. Sure, gravity is an amazing, mysterious force, but inertia in a vacuum boggles my comprehension. Why does something with physical mass keep going without any additional energy applied to it - forever?

Think about Voyager - if no other force got in its way, it could literally keep cruising for 50 billion light-years and maybe "bounce" off the wall of the universe like something out of The Truman Show. (of course since the universe keeps expanding it might have to go more than 50 billion light-years)
Moonwalking with Einstein is a good read. I found it worth the time I spent on it. But it's on an altogether different league.
> A more pervasive example is the “Sent from my iPhone/iPad” signature at the bottom of every email you send from your iPhone or iPad. Yes, even Apple is using viral tactics (actually, I believe BlackBerry started that with “Sent using BlackBerry”).

As noted in "Founders at Work", Hotmail used this tactic with a lot of success. I don't know if they were the first to try it, but they were definitely the first widespread example.
Yes. Along with my exploding head, very occasionally I wake into a hypnagogic panicked state where I cannot catch a breath or move. I'm not sure what it is, perhaps sleep apnea.
Completely agree - I've found the battery outperforms the 8 hours advertised (with Wi-Fi off and lowish brightness, i.e. the kind of settings you're likely to have while travelling, which is presumably when battery would be most important).

Also the weight is such a non-issue - it's lighter than most hardback books, whereas I found trying to read off the iPad waaay more clunky (from a lying position).
Reminds me of some other condition, I don't recall the name. I want to say "night terrors". My oldest had serious sleep issues when he was little. So I checked some book out of the library to try to get a handle on it. Most of it was drivel, like "god, I can't believe you thought someone would need that told to them". But it did have one piece of information in it that was useful, and that was about my oldest son occasionally getting up all upset after sleeping for roughly an hour. I eventually realized he only did this when physically exhausted but not mentally exhausted. So he would fall asleep but his mind was still racing. After an hour, he would sit up basically screaming, due to very vivid mental stuff going on. The book indicated he probably wasn't really awake at such times, but was reacting while asleep. I learned to not let him get so physically exhausted and it went away. The problem never returned.

I think it would be neat if someone who has EHS kept a diary/journal and tried to determine if there was some pattern, some trigger event or whatever, for them personally (my assumption being that triggers would vary from person to person but enough such data might yield some generalizations anyway). It sounds like it may be an auditory version of the visual stuff my son experienced.
For the record, in terms of metros for ease of use I'd have to say Paris > NYC > London (having lived in all three cities).

Sacramento Kings Beat Lakers in Opener: Fan's Reaction
Consumers are snapping the Fire up because it’s $200, but they expect a tablet. Not a black brick that plays movies.

Some do. But a lot expect an e-reader that also plays movies. That's how Amazon is marketing it: just one of their many kindle devices. My mother-in-law has a Kindle and reads a lot of books, and I keep trying to tell her that it's more similar to an iPad than her Kindle, but I don't think it sinks in because, well, it's a Kindle.

I'm already boycotting Sony over other things, so I can't very well say I'm boycotting them over this.

Walmart, too.

EA, too. (Stupid intrusive DRM. I'm missing a lot of potentially good games here!)

Nintendo? Ouch. That one's going to be painful... Oh wait. No, I only buy like 1 game a year from them anyhow.

Warner Music might be tough... I don't buy much US-based music any more, though.

And the rest I never use anyhow.

So the answer the question? People are either already boycotting them, avoiding them as much as they can, or just don't buy their stuff anyhow. At least, those people who would boycott over ethical concerns, anyhow. Those who don't boycott, they don't boycott anyhow!
There are too many stars, too many galaxies, too many galaxy clusters, and we've been here too short a time for me to believe that we're the only life in the universe.

Life happens.
Mark Suster's Advice
I learned this the hard way, and went through burnout before I understood that I needed to take it easy. Exercising regularly, eating well, proper sleeping habits, friends and family time, all of these make me more productive, effective and happier.
I still work long hours and finding this balance is hard. It's something you do every day and some discipline is needed, just like diet or quit smoking.

I mentioned word-of-mouth buzz in my post, but it didn't make sense to me that that could be the reason as Ben and Jerry's ice cream has the same thing going for it (as an anecdotal example, I never bought it until my girlfriend bought a couple flavors and I tasted them and found out how much tastier than generic ice cream it was).

And even if Amazon has more of this word-of-mouth going for it than Ben and Jerry's, I would think this would be a result of their implementation (i.e., it's a well-done site and that's why people tell their friends), rather than something inherent to its business model which is what the article is talking about.
