The X1 Carbon's trackpad has been getting rave reviews.

How in the world, somebody with that kind of martial arts training, got in the best fitness of his life became addict to alcohol and weed and games? Doesn't martial arts requires tons of disciplines?
That. Bootstap's site doesn't look like the default. Especially with the inclusion of colored images, that banner now and several other elements that most "built with bootstrap" sites lack.
His device is the X1. The X1 Carbon has a drastically better trackpad.

That said, you should try to use the TrackPoint, since it's a much more efficient pointing device once you get used to it.

This kind of thing is way older than Starcraft, or electronic games for that matter.

One of my physics professors apparently had a similar experience with bridge. If I remember correctly, his bio said that he was a Life Master at age 21. You apparently have to play one hell of a lot of bridge hands to become a Life Master, and keep in mind that this was before the internet. When I asked him, he reported that basically bridge took over his whole life for several years.

And then he recovered and apparently had a pleasant career and got tenure and everything.

Out of curiosity, does "everything" include seamless external monitor support, sleep on lid-close and working wi-fi?

I am not being flippant at all, however the above constitute the reasons I moved away from a Linux laptop 3 years ago (and, conversely, will not move back until their resolution).

Thus far OSX works for my needs, but it would be great to have an alternative.
It's morally wrong to trick someone biological and psychological in order for them to play games in order to generate income for a game company. But I think there's a way to balance between making users like the game thus generate income for the company and making users biologically and psychologically rely on the game.

Gitlab.io provides commercial hosting for Gitlab, the free open source git management platform.

If the emphasis is on being free then strikethrough "commercial". Could be replaced with "official" but could sound over-promoting.

I think it's important not to hide the fact that hosting is based on open source gitlab project. In this case it's a good thing as gitlab.io owners are also the main developers of Gitlab.

What puzzles me a bit is that Gitlab tagline [1] says it's based on Gitolite. Gitolite license is GPL2 [2] while Gitlab is MIT [1]. How is Gitlab project maintaining license compatibility? The question does not necessarily affect Gitlab.io service.

EDIT: gitorius->gitolite, AGPL->GPL2. Messed up project name in initial comment..

How well does multitouch work? Does two finger scrolling work properly? I have my mac set up to have a three finger swipe go back/forward in the browser history - would that sort of thing work properly?

I'm trying to keep in touch with the ultrabook scene, as I'd quite like my next computer to run linux. The trackpad not working super-well has been one of the things holding me back, as that's one of my favourite features on the mac.
All of those things work great on my x220.
The only way to do that is to use Boottheme. Boot theme does a great job because it gives you all the responsive views, and different layouts. You can also edit html on the site to see what it would look like.
Apparently the latter. I glanced at the PDF and saw no mention of grain growth after that point. Apparently, a week is plenty of time for the processing such an alloy would normally undergo.
Thanks, that makes better sense.
I'll keep that in mind. Didn't want it to sound like that. Unfortunately, the post arose from some frustration on my part. Thanks!

>It's not a magic bullet, but it'll be a good thing unless they abuse it. An example of Apple's track record in this regard would be GPL apps on the App Store - they'll pull the app from the store but I have yet to hear Apple 'remote wiping' someone's previously downloaded apps.

Actually they won't "pull the app" by themselves.

At least in the one example I'm aware off, a minor contributor to a project (VLC) specifically _asked_ Apple to remove the app from the iOS app store, pissing on both the users wanting it AND the developers doing the porting for free and making the source code available for everyone, because it being on the app store didn't satisfy some GPL technicality.
This doesn't look evil. It looks like an internal stop-gap measure to prevent the execution of incompatible application versions that crash the OS. Most of the list are older versions of Apple's own apps.

It's "hidden" because it's almost certainly a hacky stop-gap. As far as I can tell, it isn't live updating or checking for new signatures, so the signatures are probably updated on a release basis as issues are found.
Congrats Jon B! ^^
Nice, thanks for the input. This has changed the playing field for me quite a bit.
Perhaps we downloaded different add-ons or I just never found the right one. I had to uninstall quite a few because I was specifically looking for the ability to do clean and simple and instead got really loud and annoying without the depth in customization needed to fix it. Those that did offer the ability to truly extend the interface made it way too tedious to do so. It got to the point where I was trying to find a dev on Curse to help me create better options before ultimately deciding that I didn't want to be tied to supporting something on a game I was already putting too much time into.

Ask HN: Is it a CMS I am looking for?
I am trying find some form of a content management system not geared towards the publishing of web pages, but rather that of custom content. I am sure there is a name for these kinds of systems/applications, but I cannot come to think of it.

My basic requirements:

1) There needs to be a way to create templates for objects in a flexible manor, where a template is a set of attributes, with the ability to create nested groups of attributes as well as add attributes associated with other templates

2) Content instantiates these templates

3) Arbitrary sets of content needs to be exportable, preferably to custom XML

4) All this needs to be accessible through a decent management UI, web-based preferably. Ideally there is an API somewhere in there as well

What am I looking for? I feel that traditional CMS:es are too tied to that of web publishing. I guess I am looking for something a bit more generic.
VGA ports are too tall to fit in ultra-slim laptops. RJ45 is a bit smaller, but must also be sacrificed for slimness.

It's amazing how much work has gone into this site. Nice job.
I would just assume that is the minimum requirement until I ran into a problem.
The Boolean Graph
I've had close friends and family members battle addiction of several kinds. With that in mind, this post sounds very typical of many addicts (drug, games, etc.). Likely several parts are extensively embellished, perhaps outright false.

As others have stated, the issue here is not starcraft or gaming in general, it's addiction. If the core roots of that aren't addressed, he'll likely move from one addiction to another until he fully hits rock bottom and gets the professional help he needs.
I am Chinese (Tawainese if you want to get picky) and grew up in America. "Wudang Kung Fu" is a fairly popular moniker, even for those who know better. My Northern Shaolin teacher will sometimes work up a rant about it from time to time, but few people outside the martial arts circle really care about it. Many non-martial-artist native Chinese don't really know the specialized jargon and distinctions in the martial arts world.

The arts passed down from Wudangshan is not exclusive to Tai Chi. Tai Chi has origin myths relating to Wudangshan, but I doubt taijiquan was the only thing they practiced. Taijiquan itself cannot be characterized as "a slow sport to help find inner peace". Well, you can, but that is like saying "Wudang Kung Fu".

There are definitely "Taoist monks". They have their own temples and do their own things. They have similar beggar-monk tradition as Buddhist beggar-monk traditions. At several points, Taoist monks cultivated within the same spaces as Buddhist monks. This is not surprising given that all religious wisdom springs from the same source.

One aspect of Tao-"ism" is about living peacefully and healthily and as long as possible ... but that's not really it at all. That's the popular religion. As Joseph Campbell noted, the most popular religion in the world worships the idols of Longevity, Prosperity, and Posterity. Pop Taoism is no exception.

After you shed the outer layer of pop Taoism, at Taoism's core, it shares the same underlying understanding of reality as Buddhism, Shinto, and even the obscure parts of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Its moral expression is uniquely Chinese.

As for "not about defeating your enemy", this goes into something very interesting, the role of violence and spiritual growth. Sun Tzu's Art of War is very much Taoist-flavored. It might be kept at its arm's length, but its far more obscure inspiration, Master of Demon Valley (鬼谷子) is acclaimed as part of the Taoist tradition, despite being heavily encrypted teachings about the shadow side, governance, and right action.
This requires you to keep a server running. And unless the server is actually providing some service which is critical to the app functionality, somebody will just fire up their favourite hex editor and modify the binary so it doesn't need to speak to the server.
This is cool. We currently host our app with Engine Yard and there's been a number of times when we've wanted to put in extra capacity for short bursts but it's impractical to do it. It's not the cost of upgrading for me that's the problem but the hassle of having to configure a new instance, and migrate to it. So I love the approach of dragging a few sliders and it magically happening. Go GoScale :)

I think that lack of self-control is a critical part in both heroin addicts and game addicts, but the heroin jump-starts the addictive cycle within your brain directly while the gaming takes a slower and more indirect route.

The Attacker's Trade-Off: Stealth Versus Resilience
Most serious athletes already know about this (in fact, on that same site: http://quantifiedself.com/2011/03/personal-data-visualizatio...). Keeping a record of your resting heart rate (plus blood pressure, temperature, etc) every morning will tell you many things. For example, I managed to get my resting heart rate down to mid 40s when I was training regularly (and heavily). Now that I'm more sedentary, my resting HR is in the mid 50s to low 60s, and I definitely don't feel as good or make as good times. Spikes while in training were also usually indicative of overtraining. It's also mentioned in "The Hacker's Diet" that if you weigh every day, but pay attention to the moving average it can be much more encouraging.
All this stuff does disturb a bit but as a less-than-lover of Apple, I'll still admit that whitelists are where the real big-brotherishness comes in. Blacklists are inherently more an "FYI, this is a problem" approach.
Yup. I used to wear booties when I wore clipping shoes. But then I switched to heavy boots without clips and it was warmer. Never had a problem with hands. I got some down ski mittens. In fact they are too hot - but the key is 'mittens'. Once I discovered that, there was no looking back.
Depends on how you define "free." Apple says "no additional charge over your Mac Dev membership. It's included with the Mac Developer Program." I spent two entire days watching WWDC videos and digging around on developer.apple.com trying to find out how to get certificates without paying Apple the $99 for Mac Dev.

The Apple employees that I am connected to were also surprised to find out that it wasn't free outside the Mac Dev program. A former Appler helping me dig around also noted that Apple never said it'd be "free."

If you can find somewhere Apple said it would be free, I'd love to dig deeper.

Agreed. This is what I am doing too. Especially because I do most of my git work on command line, it really doesn't make a difference where the host is as far as it is reliable. Github IMHO offers a much better interface than bitbucket, but unlimited private repo is unbeatable for bitbucket. They have the totally opposite business model that I wonder which one has a higher margin.

I think this is really quite neat. I used to be a heavy user of Evernote, but I found it difficult to reconcile my handwritten notes (90% of my notes at work) with what I'd have in Evernote. As a result, I stopped using Evernote. I always hoped I'd be able to find a good way to record my notes digitally (e.g., iPad + stylus), but at the end of the day, taking notes with pen & paper always wins for me.

This could very well bring me back to Evernote. Not sure if it's worth $24+, but if it works, maybe... I do take an awful lot of handwritten notes, and I'd love to digitize them easily.
Aren't side effects fundamental in complexity analysis?
You'll find yourself doing some pretty goofy things if you follow his suggestion to regularly.

Isn't that what science is? It may be biased, and it's very hard to isolate variables, but by the very nature of self-experimentation it's very difficult to do double blind tests. At least some people are trying to live the examined life and look for causes, rather than blaming it on genetics or luck.
I think code verbosity (which anyone can read and understand) is highly underestimated these days. I don't think writing less lines of code is any good if you need to explain to people what you did (yes, even smart people sometimes don't figure it out right away if they didn't use a similar library / concept before, and you don't always have smart people reading your code anyway, we all know that)

If you optimize your code to avoid any duplication, you are probably wasting more time writing / extending libraries, doing pull requests than getting working software done.

Refactoring, and good design is critical, helpful, almost mandatory, but if your feature is not out there on time because you over refactored / engineered your code, and some other startup get's it out there faster, no user will care.

users don't do view source before they pay you.

I work in the team, making one of the the best selling fps games.

Then again I don't like playing fps games, I'm just supporting tools code.

I don't like multiplayer games at all, especially mmorpgs ones. I do love hot-seat multiplayer games like Heroes of Might and Magic - it's great fun. People in the same room, taking turns, and in the mean time having laugh and jokes (and smelly clothes, also a bit drunk after 24hr marathons)

Martial arts, like most things in life, optimally require two things: talent and discipline. Rarely though, do you find someone with both. Yet with either one, you can get pretty good at something.

> What sites out there still use that blue color for a link?

What do you mean that blue? As far as using blue for links go, I scanned my opened tabs and Google, Facebook, Github use blue for links. Bootstrap's blue isn't the browser default blue. They made it blue because most of the users expect links to be blue.

> Design is not disjointed from app usage.

I don't remember claiming it is. The default bootstrap them isn't bad design. It's better than what a typical developer or designer comes up with. Also, the user doesn't give a shit if the buttons look the same on all websites. Most of the users won't even notice.

> It's part of usability, it's part of the allure of an app. Read up on it.

Making links non-blue or changing button colors isn't usability. Read up on it.

> Don't want to look like every other page hosted on Github or any other small app page? Customize bootstrap.

I would do that if I don't want to look like every other bootstrap site. Does this even need to be said?

> Customize bootstrap. Within 30 minutes, you're capturing audience,

I missed the part where you proved changing bootstrap theme captures audience in 30 minutes.

> It may not be specifically that bootstrap usage REPULSES people it may just be it doesn't really get them riled up about your app or make your app memorable.

Since you are throwing around a lot of "maybe" and anecdotes, I will throw one of mine. I am yet to meet someone who is repulsed by bootstrap and is a customer - people who need my app and directly or indirectly pay for it.

I believe he simply competed in a time where many really good racers were doping, and if you want to check all the boxes, that was one you had to seriously consider.

This. I've personally always suspected he was doping. Not because of any complaints about his character (I always did and continue to admire him) but because I just have a hard time believing anyone could make it so far in this sport without using performance-enhancing drugs.

It's a big part of the reason why stage racing is not my favorite cycling event.

I think it's ridiculous to charge so much for private repository hosting and even limiting the amount of repositories you can have. Github is great, but I despise their pricing scheme.

BitBucket lets you have unlimited private repo's for free and limit the amount of contributors you can have.

That's an option you should look into. Limit the amount of contributors, not repo's.
