This is the issue, if you a need a vim master and a couple of pair programming session to learn what vim is, you are doing it the wrong way.

Why is it wrong to enable auto suggest by default? Or the file browser or minimap by default? Why not enable directory level grep/search by default? Why do you need to learn two decade old arcane 3 fold command sets for simple search-replace. Why aren't line numbers turned on by default? Why not provide tabbing by default?

None of what I have mentioned is something uncommon to developers. Every developer needs to this almost everyday with his code.

If you see modern day GUI based editors, they are basically designed to solve these daily little recurring annoyances and made available to you out of the box without you have to do to too much of tinkering. Like everything needs of developers change with time.

Software usability is a very important aspect of software engineering.

My primary concern is in assuming the usage of difficult tools as geeky and cool. By merely learning how to use a two decade difficult to use tool doesn't make a person a great programmer.
You're very welcome. Inspiring someone to become more healthy is probably the most rewarding inspiration there is.
Arch + goomwwm + urxvt + bash + vim for me. I stopped using screen/tmux on my local machine (still use tmux on servers though) in favour of 1) keeping all my text editing in a single vim session using buffers/tabs/splits - this way I can use the standard vim commands (yank, etc) to copy and paste between files, and 2) multiple urxvt instances as goomwwm makes managing them just as simple as if I were using screen/tmux.

I also started to use uzbl as my browser. Maybe one day I can throw my mouse away :)
Does anyone think there is a place for bad fats in their diet today? I mean, do we really need to be explicit there?

I'll give you carbs, but fats? If you are reading this and it is unclear...do not eat bad fats. Good fats are fine.

So to be explicit on carbs (if someone is unclear): There is actually a place for all carbs. If you are lifting heavy weights, post workout you can eat simple carbs. I personally put dextrose in my shake.

And then, depending on my goals, I'll either eat complex or simple carbs until I go to bed. Like I said, depends on my goals at the time. Same goes for my general advise to others....all depends on their goals and how they react to the carbs.

PS. I'm actually a professional so....

Maintaining a good relationship means a relationship that is good for both of you, and succumbing to tactics like that is signalling to the customer that you are willing to be taken advantage of. As a customer there is no downside to asking for a discount.

this is a perfect opportunity to upsell. let the customer know that you're unable to negotiate on small purchases, but for high-volume orders you can absolutely work down to a $4800 unit cost. If the company has already ordered one unit and is coming back for more, you know they are happy with the performance of your product. You hold all the cards here.
I use Deluge as my only client, accessing a Linux daemon instance of Deluge from a Linux client and a Windows client. The only issue I occasionally encounter are errors in the final download, but that's easily fixed by forcing a recheck.
Those wily scamps over at mackeeper should be all over this.
I believe there's a client called qttorrent or qtorrent that's meant to be an open source clone of utorrent. I've not tried it out though.

The concept of fitness in the US slants more in that direction. Living in Taiwan, I knew a lot of people interested in controlling their diet but not many who were interesting in building muscle mass. Health magazines weren't full of models showing off muscles, either.

For whatever reason, there is a very American tendency to focus on muscles. Men and recently more and more women on TV are muscular. The trend has been going on for the past 50 years and the effects even show up in toys!

How do you like Schadeaux Technologies (pronounced shadow) for a business that creates censorship evasion hardware? I always thought it would be cool because "schad" was a German prefix and -eaux was a French suffix, but I then I learned that "schad" means harmful in German and -eaux forms plural diminutive male nouns, usually an animal, so it would really mean "a little harmful," but that can't be right because -eaux is only for nouns. Perhaps it would mean "a little harmful animal." :D
From Eric Lippert's blog posts about this, the Roslyn project most definitely doesn't seem like a one-person-getting-inspired kind of thing. I was talking to a guy in the Roslyn team last week, and the project scope, and the way they have decided to implement it, is quite frankly astonishing. I mean, a dynamic parser/lexer with all the underlying data structures immutable [1]? Impressive.

OK, sure, there's been a cultural shift towards muscularity as part of the conception of masculinity.

But that doesn't change the observed fact that most people aren't doing the hard yards to attain a muscular physique. Because it doesn't happen by accident.
Woah! It's flat out wrong to characterize Tiny Wings as a zynga-style copy[1]. 1) Wave Spark was relatively well received, but nothing like a hit, 2) Wave Spark was not available for iOS devices (despite requests that the game be polished and ported), 3) The art and "a few extra weeks of development" is a night and day difference in Tiny Wings compared to Wave Spark, 4) Tiny Wings is also a personal project by a one-man development studio, and 5) Wave Spark is publicly aknowledged as an inspiration for Tiny Wings.

Compare to Tiny Tower, a hit, polished iPhone game made by a two-brother development team that is then carbon copied due to its success by mega-corporate Zynga with exact gameplay systems ripped off wholesale and yet a claim of originality.

McCoy doesn't begrudge Illiger his success with Tiny Wings... Why do you feel the need to hurl a vicious, unsubstantiated attack against him?

[1]As far as I'm concerned, that's an incredible insult.

Hmm... That make sense. But the title should be a simple one.
That's not how it works. You get different gains from doing sprinting than from long distance. Your muscle fiber composition, your lactate threshold, your VO2 max and your economy of oxygen use are all maximized at different distances.

For marathon runners, it's the final variable that becomes huge, and you just won't improve that without a solid base of distance running. Even 5k runners, for whom VO2 max and interval work is crucial, benefit greatly from one long run per week (usually around 20km if they're serious).

It might surprise you that there's been a general trend in cross-country at the collegiate level towards slower 90 minute daily runs instead of the faster 60 minute ones so popular a decade or two ago. http://runningtimes.com/Print.aspx?articleID=15744

You can lose weight with no cardio at all. However there is a veritable mountain of research that suggests that an hour of cardio per day is good for you. If you can't get that much, some is better than nothing. It doesn't have to be running all the time, either. Playing with your kids or going on hikes will do good for your health even if it doesn't single-handedly take care of your weight problems.

Running just happens to be an exercise that allows a particularly high HR and lactate threshold compared to others such as biking, rowing or hiking.

It seems like he's using the term "third-hand" to refer to languages that merely undergo syntactic expansion in the process of translation to their target language. In the programming languages community, we often refer to this as a "desguaring" transformation, since when CoffeeScript is "compiled" to JS, the syntactic sugar is removed and replaced with JS that exactly replicates the semantics.

This is in contrast to Haskell, which undergoes a fair amount of static analysis and optimization before code generation ever happens. Also, GHC doesn't only output C, and doesn't even translate Haskell directly to C. Instead, Haskell is transformed into C-- code, and GHC can be made to target C to be compiled by GCC, as you say, or the LLVM intermediate representation, or, most commonly, machine code directly.
i think what the OP meant was the end of indie game dev for great devs who don't want to do any marketing.

in that case, partnering with a publisher makes a lot of sense. For example, Flight, the iOS game heavily promoted by ArmorGames could have gone it alone, but decided otherwise.
You could use an edit distance algorithm instead of using checksums. Although that would be really time intensive.
I'd love to use uzbl, but unfortunately there's no LastPass support (apart from some bookmarklets that can provide basic functionality).

You're confused. Google does not know what sites are receiving DMCA notices. They have no omniscience of communication between content creators and websites they don't own. They will not be taking into account notices sent directly to YouTube or any other site in ranking search results.

The new ranking signal is the number of DMCA notices sent to Google for each site, not the number of DMCA notices the site is sent. Google receives DMCA notices to remove search results pointing to infringing content. Google receives these notices primarily for sites that are outside the US and would ignore DMCA notices sent to them directly. They would not receive any significant number for YouTube videos because YouTube handles infringement directly; there's no reason to send a second notice to Google to pull the search listing.

(I'm aware Google owns YouTube. That does not change anything.)
So I downloaded the high def picture and panned around. At first I was rather underwhelmed. "Great, another desert landscape. Good use of a few million tax payer dollars. We could go to Afghanistan and get the same picture for cheaper.", I thought to myself.

Then I just let the whole scene soak in. I imagined talking with a founding father about my life. "Sure, I've seen the surface of Mars. Blue rocks and red dirt. Mountains in the back." This really opened my eyes. This is a high def of another planet. I pulled it up on a computer that could hold all of the written words in the time of the individual with whom I was imagining the conversation. The whole thing is rather impressive and inspiring.
This is a big aside, sorry about that, but I've been wondering about this. People on HN often say "citation needed" when they're talking about a thesis or opinion rather than a source that should be quoted.

Are you sure it's a citation that is needed, or just more elaboration/justification? I was under the impression that a citation had more to do with referencing a source (especially facts, but sometimes theories).

For example, If I said "30% of elbonese immigrants are drug carriers", and there appears to be no evidence of this, I'd say a citation is needed.

If I say "elbonese immigration is a bad thing", it would be reasonable to ask for a justification - that's a bold statement and you can't just make it and move on. But I'm not really claiming a fact here, this is clearly an opinion or thesis. I could cite a source, but really what you're asking for is a better justification of a controversial statement.

I'd agree that a statement like "the biggest problem with math is the language" probably warrants more discussion or defense. But I dunno, "citation needed" seems odd to me. Maybe I have this wrong.

If the TSA went away it wouldn't lead to more terrorism, contractors would resume TSA duties as they do in some airports already. However, since the TSA in now unionized and the private contractors were not, it's a big deal for Obama because he counts on union contributions for his campaign.

It has nothing to do with security. The TSA hasn't caught a single terrorist or attempted terrorist during its entire tenure. Blaming the private screeners for 9-11 is a bit unfair because, if the TSA were operating under the same pre-9-11 rules, those guys would have made it on the plane as well.

The TSA is also Janet "Big Sis" Napolitano's most visible way of exerting her own need for power. She obsessed with her fiefdom and the perks it provides. Obama also wouldn't dare cross Napolitano as it's clear she'd be able to body slam him without a second thought.

Likewise and I thought from the first line ("I’ve done it, I’ve ditched github") it was going to be a scathing tear down of how their flexible management is going to be the death of the company. What a let down!
Thanks for the detailed results. I get many more than 3, so your info inspired me to try figure out what's happening. I'm now more convinced that it's a bug rather than desired behaviour.

I first tried signing out, in case personalization was breaking things: no change. Then I tried "verbatim": no change. Then I tried changing the number of results from 100 to 10, and I see what you do: 3 from Documentsnap, 5 from various Fujitsu sites, then Amazon and Snapscancommunity.

Switch the number of results back to 100, and I'm back to getting more overwhelmed by Documentsnap. I counted again, and this time got 65 Documentsnap followed by 10 Fujitsu, then finally some variety.

> Motivation. Most people know what they need to do in order to lose weight.

Maybe. But I think the issue is some people, based on bad advice, focus their motivation on eating right and exercise. Many times that split focus leads people to over-emphasize the exercise part, and that often comes at the expense of the food part. They'll probably see some progress on their goals, but they may be slow and not nearly as rewarding as they expected. That can be a huge de-motivator.

Also, as you said, the article didn't say cardio wasn't important, just that it's not necessary (or the best strategy) for weight loss. If you're going to point someone towards a healthy diet or a jogging regimen, the healthy diet is often the way to go.
> On the actual post: what prevents one from using `git am` locally and then pushing the changes to GitHub?

Absolutely nothing. His entire 'Github vs Git' thesis is a false dichotomy.
no gpl code -- I wrote all of it, individual file file compression, different language, has binary pictures in source code files, no networking in LoseThos, I like doing global string find-and-replaces, I work alone, I'm in a CIA prison, not ASCII. #5 is cursor position for IDE, #31 is shift-space so I can do spaces-to-tabs on source code, Allows 128-255 so includes pi character.
The key obstacle to weight loss is the same as any form of self-improvement: Motivation. Most people know what they need to do in order to lose weight.

I don't disagree with this, but sometimes motivation is more enabled by a society or cultural milieu and sometimes it's less enabled. In our society, the default is towards simple sugars in everything from ubiquitous soda to donuts in the break room to sandwiches to white rice in restaurants to high-fructose corn syrup in damn near everything. The larger the cultural inertia, the harder the change. Ask vegetarians: in the U.S., meat-eating is the assumed default. I've read that, in India, vegetarian food at events, parties, and so forth is basically the norm.

They can tell us when we need to lose weight and perhaps even give us a general idea of what we need to do, but they really aren't trained to focus on habits and motivation

It's actually more pernicious than that. As described by Taubes in Why We Get Fat (http://www.amazon.com/Why-We-Get-Fat-About/dp/0307272702?ie=...), the government and doctors have spent the last 40 years convincing everyone that a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet is optimal, and government agencies and many researchers have ignored evidence to the contrary. I don't think this reflects malice on the part of individual doctors, but it does reflect systematic misinformation about what effective nutrition actually is. So doctors haven't only not given "us a general idea of what we need to do," but they've actually told us the opposite, even unwittingly.

You keep repeating the same point, which is confusing. How is this any different than Google is treating vimeo? Google is not looking at the number of takedown requests companies file with vimeo (they can't, in fact, takedown notices are AFAIK only public record if they proceed to a court case (companies that publish to chillingeffects do so voluntarily)), so they're only using the number of takedown requests they receive to remove search results linking to videos on vimeo. That's the same as youtube.

https://www.google.com/transparencyreport/removals/copyright...

https://www.google.com/transparencyreport/removals/copyright...

Based on those numbers, neither are likely to be impacted by this, but you appear to want google to actually treat youtube differently (using "don't host this" instead of "don't return a link for this" as a signal).
Right now I'm working on a command-line utility for ripping albums off Youtube. It uses some music database APIs to lookup tracks for a specified album, and then finds individual youtube videos to rip for each track. Once a video is downloaded, it will be converted to m4a and metadata will be added to it as is available.
> Hardcore males doing CR for health and longevity, pushing it as far a they can go, average about 1700 - 1900 a day. At 6+ foot and 120 pounds

Picking a calorie calculator at random on the internet seems to suggest otherwise.

http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm

I put in 6'0", 120lb male, age 30 and just looking for basal metabolic rate gives 1500cals. Sedentary gives 1850cals.

I've read elsewhere (can't find source) that most CR advocates are recommending AT LEAST 20% reduction in cals to actually qualify as CR, some saying 30%-40% are more appropriate.

Those numbers from above cals are 1200 and 1480. If using 30% reduction they are 1050 and 1295.

There is emerging evidence that while CR is effective, an alternate approach that is less extreme could also be just as effective: intermittent fasting[1]. I believe the IF approach warrants more research, but I'm doing it anyway b/c it also aligns with my current goals for powerlifting and bodybuilding. Hoping the research pans out in the longevity department as it will be a bonus ;)
