When I started showing RSI symptoms, I switched to Dvorak, and also got an ergonomic keyboard. The difference in comfort was dramatic for me.

I would say that a softer keyboard was what made the biggest difference in comfort. Particularly, reducing the effort it takes to press a key down.

The keyboard I liked the best was a http://typematrix.com/
The key feature that made it more comfortable for me was the vertical alignment of keys, as opposed to a diagonal alignment. (Edit: the key feature compared to other keyboards that do leave space in between the hands.)

As I recently found out, there's more to curing RSI pain:

This is my first submission to HN.

In startups, I think we by-pass a lot of the traditional schools of thought and jump directly into hacks/objects/apps/fixes which we consider "startups."

As a startup myself, I've lost sight of the most important part of building a business: sales. Tech, product, marketing, "sales" (free users) are great, but at the end of the day, to move a company from a startup to a business is hard work and can only be done with sales.

And if there's one article that sums up exactly what I should be doing, it's this.

Thought I would pass this along and hopefully change the attitude of others in our community.
Ask HN: Freelancer? How do you track your time/billing
As any web freelancer, I have multiple clients, multiple rates and even the odd subcontractor.

Each client (hopefuly) pays at different time.

And I would love to see some history and statistics.

What would be a good tool ?
Looks nice. Added complexity would be cool. TD is great with some creativity.
I would suggest if he has now decided to leave, better think of long-term. Pay him back the money and get a new partner (if required) and this time put it down on papers.
and if i don't intend to pursue the idea?
Larry Smith: Why you will fail to have a great career
I worked for a German retailer for a while and we had a lot of problems with customers not understanding the difference between the warranty the manufacturer gives and the "warranty" required by European law.

The first difference is who is liable. In the first case it is the manufacturer, in the second case the seller of the product.

The second distinction is to when it applies. In the first case Apple will repair anything that breaks during coverage, unless the damage is caused by carelessness. In the second case the "warranty" only applies to what is alredy broken when the seller gives you the device. Examples where this warranty does not hold, is when your hard drive breaks after 8 month or some connections ports stop working after 14 months although they once worked.

In summary the European warranty reduces to a protection for the customer, that the seller doesn't deliver a broken product. So in principle a manufacturer doesn't need to give any warranty at all, but the sellers would not be comfortable with that as in the first 6 months, they have to prove to the customer that the product was working at delivery, which is arguably impossible.

The only case where the European law results in additional coverage for the customer compared to the year apple gives, is when a defect was present at delivery and the customer only noticed it after one year and is able to prove that the defect was there at the beginning. I would like to see someone trying to prove that there was a manufacturing defect causing a connection port to disconnect from the motherboard after 14 month (or did you yank on that cord to much?...).
TL;DR:

"So what the hell are you doing buying a computer?" he demanded. "You know, Jim, I've seen a lot more businesses go broke because they didn't have enough sales than I've seen go under from lack of computers. Why don't you work on first things first?"

Selling is a devalued skill. It's considered beneath anyone with an M.B.A.'s training. Marketing, on the other hand, is somehow "clean," something professional businesspeople aspire to. If you go to a cocktail party and you're asked what you do for a living, and you reply, "I'm a salesman," people look at you like you've got crumbs on your shirt. Tell them you're a marketing director, however, and they say "How interesting."
In my view, this is one of the worst hoaxes ever pulled on American business. Manufacturers perceive marketing as a magic solution that takes away their responsibility for making good products. Their idea is, we'll make a product that's just as good as anything else out there--not better, mind you, but just as good--and marketing it well will make us rich. And that's a lot of crap.

Marketing is all about creating, in the customer's mind, a value that does not exist: a way of differentiating a basically undifferentiated product and charging the consumer more money for it. Selling is fundamental.

Consumers are not idiots. They want detergents that get their clothes cleaner, not detergents with slicker advertising campaigns.

Because, sad to say, it's a lot easier to differentiate your product through the quality of the marketing than through the quality of the product. To go back to the automobile industry, it's easier to change your advertising campaign than it is to build a better car--as General Motors well knows.
Actually, it looks like I misunderstood. "All April Fools' Day Jokes on the Web are Here (so they don't clutter HN)" was the top link when I opened HN today so I thought it was some official stance. It appears to just be another submission. My bad.

Technically speaking he's entitled to 40% of the company's value. In this case it might be very hard to assess the value of your assets (the modification of the Wordpress site may well have produced IP in itself).

You probably DO have a contract stating your equity split - in UK law it is not necessary for a contract to be written in order that it is enforceable. If he were to seek redress in the courts, a likely outcome is that they would order the winding down of the company and he would be entitled to 40% of the proceeds (if any), less the outstanding capital he owes the company.

But you're asking what you should do, so I think the easiest option in this case is to come to an equitable agreement with your co-founder that you are both happy with, and save yourselves a lot of hassle. If necessary bring in a neutral third-party "arbitrator" (mutual friend or someone you both respect) to ensure this is done fairly.

This Image of a Soldier Walking On Air Is Simply Awesome [Image Cache]
Here's my progress:

17" Dell <- beginning of college

13" Lenovo T61 <- end of college

13" Macbook <- post-college

11" Macbook Air <- latest

These have all gotten better, faster, and more powerful. They've gotten smaller. I feel like I've done a lot of different types of work: I ran gentoo on the T61 for a few months, did some photoshop work on the 13" macbook, and everything in between. The Macbook Air's CPU has a lower clock speed, but it literally hasn't been a problem. The combination of long battery life, being incredibly light, and the speed of the SSD makes me 100% recommend a macbook air of whatever size you like.

Thinkpads are definitely popular for a reason, but it's been a few years since I've used one. I'm sure there is a similar offering that has all the same sorts of benefits -- I'd wonder about battery life, though.
Our X-mas bonus this year at work was a MacBook Air. I've got a 15" Pro at work; and at home, a 24" iMac, a TabletPC, a Chromebook, a Galaxy Tab, and four smartphones (thank you, Google I/O). The Air felt a little bit like overload at first ("yay - another gadget"), but it quickly became my favorite of the lot.

13" is a great size (I don't miss the extra 2" from my Pro), and it's unbelievably svelte. If I take the bus, I just throw it under my arm - no bag, no charger - just my MacBook Air. It's plenty fast. The screen has great color, and will go as bright or as dim as you need.

Heed this man's advice - get an Air.
I programmed the first year of my start-up using only dragon naturally speaking 9 and vim (dns 10 didn't play nice with vim). I could actually program at a comparable speed to what I can do by typing. Only activities that required the mouse (like html/css nonsense) took 100x longer.

I wasn't doing this by choice, but losing your hands doesn't have to be the end of a programming career.
I'm running on an excessively expensive 15" Dell Precision Windows 7 quad core, ssd, nvidia quaddro laptop. It's not that great on its own (but one screen is inadequate for real productivity anyway). Plug in a monitor (or three!) and a keyboard/mouse and this thing hums.
Google’s Gmail Tap for Android and iOS
Macbook Air 13". Absolutely love this laptop. Weighs less than three pounds so it's extremely portable, only .68" thick at the widest point. It's got an SSD, so disk operations, shutdown, and startup are super fast, plus 4GB of RAM. Been using it for programming for eight months now, couldn't recommend it more.

I would say you need a somewhat cleaner approach to placing things on the page. For instance, two paragraph breaks in a row are very non-idiomatic: try \vspace{2\baselineskip} instead. Instead of manually putting a hard space after punctuation, you probably want \frenchspacing. Also, using \sloppy as the default option is terrible. The purpose of \sloppy is to save a really bad paragraph that cannot be rewritten.

Visually, I agree that it is way too compressed, especially for a CV where the highlights should jump out at the reader. I understand you're trying to cram it into as few pages as possible, but you end up with horribly long lines. It could also use some vertical whitespace. If you must decrease the number of pages, think about trimming the content.

Just my 2 cents, of course.
Hmm so I'm guessing basically it's a software-defined radio that can predict the frequency hopping algorithms in phones to distinguish an individual handset's communications. Someone showed something like that at some hacker conference in the last few years, but that was reverse engineered. I'm guessing these guys have access to restricted knowledge from the networks/manufacturers.

The actual triangulation of the position once you can do that is pretty trivial I'd imagine, perhaps with some algorithms for compensating for physical obstructions between you and the target.

MBAir is the best hardware wise, worst bang-to-buck wise (especially if you opt for a RAM upgrade). Underpowered GPU, average RAM, nearly impossible to perform DIY upgrades.

If you can't afford it, try the Asus U36. Lightweight, relatively thin, better processor than the MBAir, discrete graphics, very easily upgraded by the owner, ~$700. Plenty of money left over (compared to a MBAir) to add fast RAM and a huge SSD. Terrible screen resolution, however, and the build quality feels cheaper than Apple (like all non-Apple laptops).

Might want to hold out for the next-gen ultrabooks, the Lenovo Yoga looks impressive.
I agree that "it sucks" is the most stupid thing you can tell someone asking your opinion - "it sucks" was just a placeholder for every reason why you should not do something.

HOUSTON -- FULL TIME or INTERN

Camara & Sibley LLP (www.camarasibley.com) is hiring smart programmers (back end and front end) and designers to work in our new special projects division (called "Cassie") developing products that help lawyers practice law.

Experience with PST and PDF formats and search / tagging at the ~10M to ~100M document scale is helpful, but not required. Camara & Sibley and its clients will be our first customers. Cassie is funded entirely by Camara & Sibley.

In addition to Cassie work, you'll be in the middle of an active law practice that handles high-profile socially important tech cases (e.g., Apple v. Psystar and Psystar v. Apple, intervenors in Google Books, Thomas and Tenenbaum) as well as low-profile commercially important (8 figure, 9 figure) matters. We do a lot of international work, especially with Brazil and China. It is the ideal position if you've always had an interest in the law as well as technology.

Although all positions are initially in Houston, you may have the option of moving to our newly opened Singapore office in the future.

Half a billion dollars down the drain. How could this have realistically been prevented?
The dealbreaker for me with the MacBook Pro 13" is that you don't have the option of upgrading the display for a higher density display. The MacBook Airs come with this standard, and the larger MacBook Pros have an upgrade option available. Between having one of these displays on my MacBook Pro 15" and using a retina display on my iPhone and my iPad, I can't even stand to look at the display on the MacBook Pro 13" or the older iPads anymore.

This is a great talk to watch about the development of JS. It's been a while since I watched it, but the point I was making, and the point I gleaned from this talk, is that new ideas need a test bed, and according to Eich Coffeescript is one of those places where new ideas are tested, and derived from.

I'm in my early 20s and had a bad case of tendinitis 2 years ago which left my hands, wrists, and forearms in a horrible state of pain (tingling, soreness, numbness, loss of strength, inflamation).

What worked for me was a combination of:

- Always maintaining good posture when typing (according to ergonomic guidelines of a computer workspace). Prior to this I had programmed laying down and in all sorts of odd positions on a sofa.

- Reading the "How I Cured my RSI Pain" link. I didn't read Sarno's book but what I took away from reviews was that pain is largely psychological. When I stopped constantly thinking of pain, it went away! I know...sounds magical, but it worked! This made a BIG difference.

- Exercising daily and doing wrist exercises.

What could have possibly worked but I can't verify is:

- Switching to Dvorak. Made me type faster and more naturally but I have no idea if it helped me at all.

What I definitely know didn't help:

- Massages. They temporarily helped to relieve pain in my arms but did nothing to stop pain in the long term.

It took a good half year after I made these changes for the pain to start receding. I still have some minor bouts of pain at random times but it seems to come up only when my posture is off and I have been programming for hours and hours without break. Hope this helps!
Haha this is a great April Fool's article. The old "it's not a bug, it's a feature" joke.
Those people you name are all artists who make their living performing. "Professional" for them has a different meaning. But they still can't say anything they want without censure. Look at how much crap Kanye West took for "Imma let you finish", for example. You will very rarely find them talking trash about people they've worked with, and when it does it often has consequences. Megan Fox, for example, got fired from the Transformers movie because she said some unprofessional things about the director. Her co-star said, "Criticism is one thing. Then there's public name-calling, which turns into high-school bashing. Which you can't do."

More importantly, they're not executives or leaders. Dan Porter is in charge of hundreds of people. How he treats the people who work for him isn't some minor thing; it's the essence of management. His tweet made him look like a petty asshole, and his non-apology confirms that for me.
