I have been following a very similar routine to the one in this PDF, prescribed by a physical therapist due to limited mobility in my shoulders. (About 2.5 years ago I woke up with blinding pain in my left shoulder for no apparent reason. The doc referred me to PT, and the diagnosis was that I had developed upper crossed syndrome - "computer girl posture" - from being a lifelong keyboard user who paid zero attention to posture. I was 28 at the time.)

Specifically, the PT walked me through primarily thoracic foam rolling exercises, lat and pec stretches, a variation on the bench stretch (more like an elevated child's pose), scapular wall slides, dislocates and rotational dislocates, and chin tuck exercises including lying chin tucks. She also had me do lat pulldowns with conscious chin tucking with a thera-band looped around a door handle, and lying vertically along a foam roller doing snow angels, arm press-downs with barbie weights, and moving alternating hands from head to hip.

On top of this as general mobility work (I am/was a runner predisposed to hip tightness) I have been regularly doing many of the lower back exercises, though my PT didn't focus on them. Specifically hip flexor and pigeon stretches, especially if I can grab one of the machines at the gym for it; glute raises and roll-downs; clams and walking clams; cat-cow and dead bug, and plenty of foam rolling.

I do not have continuous before/after photos but after 3 months of weekly physical therapy (biweekly for the 3rd month) and daily or near-daily practice, the therapist cleared me from PT with greatly increased upper back movement, noticeable differences in range of motion both overhead and side to side, and generally better comfort/quality of posture while working. I'm sorry I have nothing quantitative to back this up, and I'm also not "cured" yet -- but vastly improved, and no longer on a path to become a doubled-over hunchback before I'm 40.

Thanks! Total cost of materials was ~$50 or so excluding the Arduino which I already had. With most projects like this one I try switching to a barebones ATMEGA328 (the microcontroller at the heart of the Arduino) if I can to save money, but in this case I needed the Arduino's onboard 5V regulator. I assembled the entire thing this evening.
What do you mean by domain hack?
In answer to your first question, there's a fair bit of advice found on Hacker News:

One of the lessons that I learned recently from my own web app project is that, a successful project requires a lot more than just having the right idea and execution; marketing is equally important as well. I learned this the hard way when I finished my project and realized I didn't know how to reach out to my target audiences. Oh well, I guess this will be my goal for 2013, to learn how to better understand and communicate with the market.

And good luck to everyone who will be taking on new challenges in 2013!
The registry has one requirement.

The registrar could have another one.

.com .net "require" only 1 nameserver (Verisign). PIR/Afilias require two (hence the need to fake or use a real one).

Please note also that my parent comment was with regards to the statement "the registrars require you to list two IP addresses" not why that may or may not have been required by the registry.

It's possible of course that even though .com .net only require one nameserver, a registrar might require two for some reason. It's also possible (but unlikely) that even though .org requires two the registrar could take care of this by putting in a dummy record if they wanted and only requiring one of the customer.

End users don't deal with the registry. They deal with the registrar.

We are an ICANN accredited registrar.
A "domain hack" is when you include the extension as part of the domain. For example if "hackernews.com" was taken you might use "hackerne.ws".
There might be a startup opportunity here. If these devices have a real economic use -- spotting heat leaks -- and the only available alternative is orders of magnitude more expensive.

I don't do hardware (although this project looks simple), but it would be interesting to own one of these and a lot of people like me might be willing to part with a few bucks for the privilege of owning one (especially if it helps spot leaks that are adding to the heating bill).

Throughout the history of man, people have jumped into the unknown abyss, wondering if they would ever return. Today, we have lots of evidence that somebody might or might not return, but if nobody jumps, we will never cross the abyss.

I hope people continue jumping.

"The point being missed is that Google might simply not have enough credit cards."

Or, perhaps Android users just don't wish to be nickle and dimed into buying stuff.

Cynical view, but even myself as a v affluent individual + owner and lover of several apple mac computers shuns iOS because frankly I don't wish to pay for every app and content I might consume. Case in point is this NextWeb magazine - sounds like it actually costs money to buy. I'm not at all interested, esp if I can visit the website for free.

Android has a higher install rate than iOS but iOS tops dollar metrics because it is the platform of choice of those with the most disposable income.
Yes. Shipping to Sri Lanka is harder or takes too much time.
Thanks. I will go for the manning site. It works
It's a shame that the price is so onerously high. I find that this is a common trend among technical books: they are often made inaccessible by their prices. Even if a small subset of the market is willing to shell out, such high prices probably alienate those that would most benefit from these books: novice programmers.

The fact that writers can and will sell to a niche audience willing to part with a lot of money ultimately leads to a field sparsely populated with accessible topic literature...
I agree. These terms are devoid of meaning and are really grating.
I think my company's opinion is sort of as follows:

1) In person for train the trainer, or significant demand in any one location

2) Webinar for cross-geo. We might have 2 sessions in order to hit reasonable hours

3) Videos for short training sessions on demand for users (think ~30m-60m that you have to give to 700 people)
Not one of those implies "fewer brief outages" than traditional banks.
Not sure how much profit it'd be able to squeeze out of the IR thermometer[1] market, which are already in fairly common use (the building maintenance people at work use them) and it looks like you can get one for as little as $25.

Reddit? Why Reddit never lies! ;-)
I'm glad to hear the community has been really supportive of you :) I'm just wondering though, wouldn't Racket be a better choice for you? It seems to have more useful libraries built in.
Is that why it exists on non-win platforms also?
I wonder how Imgur scales, as it is the most popular image host on Reddit (by large).
The links for securecookie and mux links are down (redirecting to https://www.gorillatoolkit.org/, which doesn't respond).
Yeah, but embedded music? Why would a magazine have embedded music though?
The feedback from the reviewers seems pretty straight-forward and easy to fix. I may have misunderstood something, but I don't see the approval process as being all that burdensome. Judging by the frequency of your blog posts, it looks like you've been hearing back rather quickly. Isn't it a different story on Apple's AppStore? I hear of devs waiting ages to hear back.

Maybe get a good night's sleep, and try again tomorrow. You only have to fix your screenshots, right? You're so close.
I'm in the same boat. Just out of college and I wound up in a position that's not even close to what was advertised.

Hired to be a programmer. Showed up and they decided I was going to be a business analyst. I've got significant experience in .Net, Scala and NLP but I can't even get companies to reply to my applications. I despise my job but I can't quit yet and I can't find another job. I'm working on side projects to build up my portfolio but I right now I just really hate waking up and going to work each day.

What they should do is do it the same as Wikipedia. I'm not sure what Reddit's costs are like, but if they did a donation drive where it was a choice of donating or more ads, I bet the community would chip in.
You have basically just described the advantages of the D language too.
Do you plan on trying D?
This would be a very bad idea.

If you note, his list of quotations of people saying "Let's just ignore the constitution" basically ends with the abolitionists. Shortly after them, the bloodiest war in American History (form our point of view) was fought. The Constitution came out of that war as a document that all states were basically locked into. You weren't allowed to quit.

If you were to dissolve the Constitution, and brought 50 states back to he negotiating table (especially in this time of hyperpartisanship), I doubt you'd get 50 states walking back out together.

For all it's flaws and bits of archaic pedantry, it's the one thing that you can get the majority of Americans to swear their allegiance to.

Also, I rather like the fact that today, people feel that you can't ignore the Supreme Court. This wasn't really the case 150 years ago.
Yes, but the reality of the market is that not everybody is getting an iPhone, and not all Android users get high-end Android devices. It is still THE market, nonetheless. I don't think any blame should go to either iOS or Android because it's the people who patronized these products. However, it would be just as absurd to blame the market you're trying to target. If you want to reach as many people as possible, you're going to end up grouping them into categories anyway.
They have a "Gold" feature that does something like this.

Interesting, it looks like they're trying to become app.net and not twitter, for all the right reasons.
I'll try to gloss over your disrespect and get straight to the subject. No, not everyone uses Adblock, in fact only 9-10% of users have it. The highest average is 17% for tech sites [1]. Most people have no fucking clue what that is.

I have no idea what flavor of Google you use, but piratebay is not even among the top 15 results for Project X: http://cl.ly/image/0R1K2z2V0O3z. Your search history is probably reflecting on your results.

Now look at this: http://cl.ly/image/1x302r3g383I. Tell me more about idiots.

Third, no, a lot a people have absolutely no clue about the difference between 720p/1080p. It's not about being stupid, they just don't care enough.

Fourth, there are plenty torrents around with crappy audio, either low volume, distorted or mono, specially for new releases. Your own experiences don't apply to everyone.

Finally, yes, I do use Netflix daily and subtitles are a menu click away, and available for every video. Same goes for DVD/BR, which I haven't watched in years. Clearly you don't watch subtitled movies, so what are you arguing for?

Enjoy your bubble.

Yeah, I think they gotta do more than that though. Go straight up like Jimmy Wales and just say we need X dollars, if you want reddit to stay up. Maybe give reddit gold as a bonus to everyone who donates.

The biggest problem with Reddit Gold is it seems like a feature you can live without (especially if you use reddit enhancement suite). They don't emphasize enough that it's a donation to keep the site going.

It's resolved now.

Almost four hours isn't brief. And I've never had a point-of-sale or ATM outage like that, ever. (other than the power blackout a few years back in the North-East, but not being able to pay for stuff was the least of your problems back then. By the way, our gas station was the only one running for 75 miles around because I had actually thought through how we'd operate in a situation like that).

It looks as if we hold our payment service providers to different standards. I expect mine to be there when I need them, you're ok with whatever your definition of 'brief outages' is.

It makes me wonder what it would take for you to start wondering if you've got your money parked with the right institution.

For me not being able to get at it when I need it is the one thing that would do it.

Anyway, great for 'simple' that they have it resolved, this will likely slow their adoption for a bit (though sync is on the ball in this thread and turning lemons into lemonade) and it will hopefully cause some serious introspection inside simple to make sure stuff like this will never happen again.

And maybe I'm wrong and old fashioned in my attitude towards payment services and we should just cut all those banks some slack and accept periodic outages. But my mid 80's bosses would fire my ass very quickly if I displayed that attitude on the job and I think it is too far ingrained in me to let go of.

Doesn't worry me in the least.
What about rest and recreation ?
It's an unfortunate reality that the more people that ask this question, the more likely it is that we will need some form of defense.

Ask HN: Is app.net worth it?
I'm thinking of subscribing to app.net but I'm in two minds. I'm sick of all the junk and advertising on twitter but I'm a little nervous it will be like a ghost town on there and I'm not sure what the tangible benefits would be.

Can anyone offer me any advice?
What do you mean by: ok?
The documentation is also available on GoDoc:

Apologies, I should have been clearer on that. I mean do you think using a domain hack instead of a .com can impede or prevent success?
So if we redefine the term "netbook" from 'small, shitty, cheap laptop' to 'small, cheap laptop' then "netbook" sales were really always super healthy.

Congratulations on achieving your word count, please stop.
This isn't because OSX is inherently more secure but because of the fact that virus/malware makers target Windows more than any other OS because it's the most widely deployed desktop OS. And yes, occasionally having AV software on a Mac will help a lot. But it's usually some fucked up program installing some stupid kext or similar non-kext kext that fucks up your OSX system.
Looks like it will be ridiculously dead. Would you REALLY do this just because of advertising on Twitter? Who even needs social networking..

When people in tech say "paged" do they/you literally mean it? Or do you just mean text message but the terminology has stuck as a throwback to the days when pagers were how people were on emergency call.

I suspect there still is a small pager business out there somewhere, perhaps for doctors and adhering to some legacy hippa rules, but they must be sparse.

hope this helps.
Open/LibreOffice has never been that great and if I were considering a big install of it the fact that it's under Apache stewardship would give me pause. Apache does very good work but their specialty is server-side, highly-configurable, large systems that take a fair amount of skill to get up and running.

If I had to guess what direction OO development is headed in, I'd say things are headed in a more service-oriented architecture direction. It'll be great if you want a customed-out integrated groupware, collaboration, data analysis and document management solution, and you've got a large, skilled IT staff (and/or Oracle or IBM service contract) to set it up. I doubt it's going to be any good for standalone plain vanilla desktop apps.

Could be I'm wrong about this; but it's open to question where this is headed.

God says...

very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of
the congregation, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you
most holy.

30:37 And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make
to yourselves according to the composition thereof: it shall be unto
thee holy for the LORD.

30:38 Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall
even be cut off from his people.

31:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 31:2 See, I have called by
name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
31:3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in
understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
31:4 To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in
brass, 31:5 And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of
timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
The article touches on it lightly, but the real reason you can't say netbooks are dead is that the entire concept of a "netbook" was bullshit from the very beginning. Manufacturers wanted to put some pressure on their suppliers to lower prices, so they invented a category of low-price and low-quality laptops. Consumers never really paid that much attention, because anyone who actually picked up a netbook could tell that they were garbage.

Turns out that selling low-quality computers for cheap and making up the difference on volume is a difficult business model to make profit in. Now the manufacturers want to chase Apple by building "ultrabooks", which is marketing-speak for "laptops that aren't complete shit". But Apple is years ahead because they didn't waste time on netbooks, and they've got their logistics so optimized that they can make a fat profit on prices that would leave other manufacturers taking a loss on each sale.

You'll know that PC manufacturers have figured out how to correctly apply the Apple model when they:

* Stop plastering their products with advertising stickers.

* Trim their product lines back to the core (How many laptop models does Dell sell? How long did it take you to figure out?)

* Invest in build quality and reliability, potentially at the cost of end-user repairability.
My wife loves expensive shoes and purses. Not the "aspirational" brands like Coach or even Louis Vuitton. She has graduated to brands like Chanel ($3000-5000) and Hermes ($15,000) and Louboutin shoes ($900).

I'll tell you exactly why women love to spend lots of money for purses and shoes. It's for the sheer exclusivity of it. It's not because of things like quality or functionality, so the argument that a $200 knockoff is just as functional or has just as good craftsmanship is useless.

I have argued that for something so expensive like $5000 handbag, you would expect an INCREASE in functionality or durability. I would expect things like waterproofedness, etc but no. They are even more fragile than you would expect. The price is simply a way to create a sense of exclusivity.

It similar to why a man buys a 600 hp Ferrari when most highways only allow speeds up to 60 mph. It's a show of power, prestige and wealth. Sure you could get a car that had the same acceleration with better fuel efficiency, but that's not why people buy ferraris.
What keeps you from finger printing the VM just as easily?
I would only go with a domain hack if the .com is also available. A certain portion of users will type in the .com version, and if you are popular enough, the owner of the .com might be malicious enough to capitalize on it. e.g. http://del.icio.us forwards to http://delicious.com/, but imagine what would happen if they didn't own the .com.
This is a concern that's very often raised. I get the point, but there are two things to keep in mind:

Having aligned interests makes this tractable. When someone raises this concern they typically posit participants who don't have aligned interests.

Secondly, we aren't very good at seeing our day-to-day experience that suggests this is doable. We don't credit our participation in consensus-based groups, nor do we recognize instances of compromising or actions that are not self-interested.

I do not think anti-viruses are pure security theater. They will not protect against zero day attacks, however, once a specific virus hits enough people, anti-viruses will be updated, preventing large scale infection. In order to avoid this, attackers need an attack vector that would allow them to change the virus binary at will. These definitely exist, but A/V does stop a non trivial amount of infections.
