The best-selling books on Amazon on RSI both recommend getting deep tissue massages. I've gotten a bunch, and they seem to help more than anything else I've tried, but I've still been unable to type for more than an hour without getting symptoms for the past eight months.

This has completely ruined my life, so I recommend taking wrist pain seriously. Preventative measures are probably best. Here is a nifty sit/stand keyboard tray that will significantly improve the ergonomics of your desk and also allow you to stand to work whenever you want to:

But hiring comes at a cost. Recruiting, on boarding, and getting new employees up to speed all cost money and resources. My only point is employees need to stay long enough to recoup those losses.

For cryptographic purposes you usually want fast digests and slow key derivation functions.
Wicked - that is all.
Or go to a physiotherapist. Now. Just to get you on the right track before you do yourself further damage.

(I had a bout of pain that lasted about three weeks, with a longer period of discomfort that followed. If I typed at all, it was with two pencils; I paired with a guy I was training and he did all the typing for that period. I was only able to get back into it after a month of physio appointments, directed exercises and remedial massage. I know I'm just a single data point, but I don't see how at least getting a professional opinion just in case would be a bad thing.)
The general term for this sort of thing is "social proof", and you see some amount of it in all cultures:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_proof

It's actually a pretty good heuristic most of the time -- hence its ubiquity -- but obviously it has a bunch of pathological corner cases, and it's open to exploitation by salesmen, politicians, cult leaders, and anybody else who does mind control for a living.
I'm a Perl weenie through and through, and I ask myself this every time I start a new project, because I know one reason I turn to Perl each time is because I am /fluent/. Hiring Perl developers is hard, Perl has some ugly bits, and it's far from 'cool', however:

DBIx::Class, Moose, Catalyst, Template Toolkit - these are a joy to work with. People seem to be just ok that they have Rails, bitch about Active Record, and honestly, just don't seem to love their tools.

TAP-based testing is awesome sauce. Ruby gets this so wrong with all tools checking return values of scripts + the occasional hacked together jUnit outputter. Even the testing tools stolen from Ruby (like Test::BDD::Cucumber (which I may have written)) use TAP and Perl's testing tools all the way down.

Finally: there's CPAN. It Just Works. I started off a Perl dev, and use of any other language's package system has just made me sad face.
Thank you for that response.

What is really cool is that we may see folks actually get this choice and then we can come back around and talk about it again.

A funny (and true) story: I got to intern at IBM in the late 70s. The Altair 8800 was getting a lot of press and Apple had just jumped in with the Apple II. I lusted after a Sol-80 at the time. Anyway, there was an on going discussion at IBM as to whether or not anyone would really pay what it would cost to make a "real" computer for individuals. So they built one, it ran a hacked up version of the software their other computers ran called TSO/MVS. It had a very serialized 370 architecture to cut down on complexity, and limited batch capability. It would have retailed for about $17,000 to make the kinds of margins IBM expected. (many of the parts got reused in the 5100 but that is different story)

It was a total failure of course, nobody wanted a computer for themselves, it was just a bunch of overly ambitious EE's over promising and under delivering by using calculator chips to make something that could run stored programs. IBM was not a calculator company, so that was a market they weren't going to enter. A complete renegade at IBM had a different view and built their vision in a widely derided project in Boca Raton FL (even then it wasn't much of a tech bastion). The resulting machine, the IBM PC, was a huge deal. And like the iPad it surprised its own maker at how many they sold.

I relate that story because I think we're on the cusp of one of those changes. My instincts tell me that this is one of those times when renegades have an advantage over the common knowledge. I call it out so that folks can watch it happen, or not. I'm really going to feel foolish next year if nothing has changed but I'm totally ok with that. At the moment it feels like Christmas Eve to me.

What you're saying really strikes true, though I feel arrogant people can also be extremely hard working which can put them in better stead compared to others. Also, humbleness with a tint of arrogance or self belief can be a good mix – as long as you get the mix right.

Definitely something to consider. The tendency to rate things higher is definitely apparent with the star-rating system, so this is something we've been considering.

Also, you should consider that $25 is way different for users from different countries. Its not the same to get that money from someone in the USA than from someone in Brazil (it's second market), India (3rd), Indonesia(4th), Mexico(5th), Turkey(7th), etc... [1]

Business in those countries will not pay the same to publish their ads in FB, simply because the expected return will be lower.

I stumbled upon it a while ago. The whole package looked very nice but it seems to be closed source. Being proprietary is fine but some people here tend to dig into libraries to see what they are doing. I don't know if you plan on offering some kind of source access.

Also I see that the free edition tries to connect to an outside server to a high port, and that would work here. Our network is not really friendly: I cannot even check out a git repo with the git protocol.

I can see the appeal of your product though. Some of my colleagues are trying to use PyCUDA but have to learn C in the process.
Yes, rails is my first language (aside from knowing a little bit of HTML/CSS beforehand).

I used railstutorial.org, railsforzombies, etc. and spun off from that to get Vetter up and running.

I've definitely developed a passion for development and will continue to pursue it. I currently spend an hour or two each day strictly on studying, since I still have a lot of foundational knowledge to learn (I can get things done, but not necessarily in a best-practice type way)

I went to university for film production, ha!
Swap the Values of Two Variables Without Using a Third Variable
In software I have noticed that the best coders spend a lot of time removing code and the worst coders keep piling crud on top of crud on top of crud.

CSS seems to be really bad for this, but that might be because the frontend coders I have met are crappy. Rather than decrease the padding they'll ADD more css to move all of the elements, then they end up with !important rules everywhere.

I've been doing frontend web coding for more than 5 years now, and I have only had to use !important probably 3 or 4 times, and only them it was to overwrite things in stylesheets that we had no control over.

Tutorial how to use SPDY on Netty
This is amazing news. Everyone involved in this case knows that the US overstepped its boundaries on this one, and once the case is thrown out of court expect there to be a shitstorm as Dotcom files for damages and lost revenue from the site. I don't know how much Megaupload made per month but I know it was a pretty astronomical figure, times that by the number of months Megaupload has been forcefully offline and it'll be a large ending figure (that's without factoring in growth factors).

I really do hope this whole situation exposes the inner workings of the heavily corrupted US judicial system. It's ridiculous the FBI is involved in what everyone knows is a civil matter dressed up in made up criminal charges.

I would really hate to be the recording industry and US government right about now.
A dead comment by DanBC has some interesting links about how Clippy was dumbed down before its release in Office 97:

"Clippy was crippled by MS when they implemented the working research project into the broken version used in Office.
(http://robotzeitgeist.com/2009/08/lumiere-project-origins-an...)
The original implementation was deemed "too cautious" by PHBs, and thus a stupid kludge was added to make clippy appear more often.

(Interestingly that URL mentions siri before it was released)."

Agreed. I've never seen this kind of reaction from strangers or friends.

I also don't understand the tax reference. Yes, there are taxes on company income. There are not taxes on money sitting in the bank from the previous year. This is no different than a job.

If I earn $50k this year the gov takes say $20k and I have $30k left over. If I do absolutely nothing the next year the government doesn't take money from that $30k.

Similarly if I run a company and have gross income of $100k and expenses of $50k leaving $50k the in the bank the gov will take a percentage. The next year the gov will only tax NEW INCOME.

At least that's my understanding. I'm not a tax expert nor a lawyer and I can only go from my experience in California. Other places might be different.

I graduated college with some debilitating wrist tendinitis setting in. By the time I got a few months into my first full-time programming job, I could barely shift my car going home, I was despairing and depressed.

I got into physical therapy. They taught me stretches and strengthening exercises that made an enormous difference. They got me into some heavy duty wrist braces (neoprene with a metal bar for support and velcro to get a good, snug fit), which I wore for about a year. They also tried various sorts of heat application and friction massage which had varied results. Certainly, bracing, stretching (all through the day at regular intervals), and strengthening were the key.

For keyboards, I first tried the Kinesis Maxim, which splits down the middle and can be adjusted to different angles. It was a night and day difference versus the old Microsoft "Natural", which, in retrospect, is the most unnatural, horrible keyboard I've ever used. Later, I jumped into the Kinesis Classic (as shown in the blog post) and haven't looked back. I now have a collection of three, accumulated from jobs over the years.

I also switched to left-hand mousing, which helped tremendously with my more-damaged right wrist. Finally, I switched to Dvorak which helped, but not nearly as much as the previously listed factors. Incidentally, I'm entirely capable of switching between Dvorak and Qwerty (touch typing) with little hesitation and only a few initial errors. Later, taking up rock climbing strengthened my wrists such that I had zero further wrist issues, and didn't need to do my focused wrist strengthening exercises.

Of course, your mileage may vary. My problem was tendinitis, not the seemingly more common carpal tunnel syndrome.
First up, the sales pitch: we provide bandit optimisation SaaS at Myna: http://mynaweb.com Now, that's out of the way, let's discuss the article.

I like the epsilon-greedy algorithm because it's simple to understand and implement, and easy to extend. However, to claim "The strategy that has been shown to win out time after time in practical problems is the epsilon-greedy method" is false. The standard measure of performance is called regret. You can think of it as the number of times you choose the sub-optimal choice. It is clear that this grows linearly in e-greedy, as there is a constant probability of exploring. The same is true in A/B testing (you show 1/2 the people the suboptimal choice in the data gathering phase and then make a decision that you have some probability of getting wrong.) A good bandit algorithm has regret that grows logarithmically with time, which is a huge difference! This result holds out in practice as well. If you look at some of Yahoo's papers (John Langford, for example; sorry no links as writing this while getting the kids ready!) you'll see comparisons to e-greedy where they significantly out-perform it. We've had the same results in our testing.
Aye the backend could certainly use some additional processing. We're just working out the best way to approach this now. For the time being we just offer some simple sorting, tagging and categorization options, but we're working on locking down the next iteration. Thanks

Surprised that he didn't mention:

1. stretches

Do this before any extended typing session: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSbf4mBKq-o
Doesn't have to take more than 30 seconds, just DO IT

2. height of the keyboard

The vast majority of desks simply aren't the right height. Your hands should be comfortably pointed down and not over your wrist. Had some issues with wrist pain a couple years ago, never had any problems since.
I suspect it depends a lot on where you live. In Los Angeles no one blinks an eye at the no-salary-and-following-your-dream life. I highly suspect Silicon Valley is much the same.
Layout is a bit wide I think. My laptop has 1440x900 resolution and I have to scroll horizontally to see all of your screenshot.
I too have wrist pain some time back.

To my understanding this kind of pain will come due to stiffness in the muscles in hands,shoulders,neck.This stiffness radiates the pain to wrist.After some months of pain i visited a famous doctor (http://www.deepaksharan.com/ (india)) he asked to take 6-7 session of Myotherapy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myotherapy) and also suggested few exercises , good posture which has removed the pain from my wrist and hands.

If you want i can send you scanned copy of those exercise posters.(rama.vadakattu at gmail dot com)

I feel you should also consult a professional and get rid of that pain by myotherapy ,regular exercises and good posture.

It is defintely curable (although they may be few exceptions).
Also, racing games often come with license mandating a certain maximum level of damage some cars can take: some cars can be screwed, while others can only be scratched.

Snake Robots Will Soon Crawl Around Inside Your Body Off-Leash
Simple: there are fewer synchronous/blocking steps involved. The server can get the data, render the HTML, and stream that right to the browser. The user has the content the instant that the response is received, while a client-side approach would have to wait for the JS to load (even if it's in the cache), interpret, then execute the "onload" code which then renders HTML via some template, plus any time to fetch extra data needed over the wire. As a case study, take a look at GitHub's source - the time to render the page is typically in the 100ms range, and it takes another ~2s or so for the page to fully initialize (according to Firebug). If GitHub decided to render everything on the client, I can pretty much guarantee that it would not appear as snappy.

On a side note, it almost seems like you're trolling - given that your own site seems to render content on the server. ;)
