What happens to you after you exercise? Do you get headaches?

I also have CFS, and one of the most useful treatments I've found is to take 200mg naproxen at bedtime, four nights a week. (Taking it every night would risk causing serious stomach and/or kidney problems.) This has improved the quality of my sleep considerably. I haven't experienced insomnia from the CFS, though.

Eh, I don't know, Twitter bootstrap users don't appear to agree. I know it's fallen out of favor for DHH, but I don't know if that's generally true.

No idea, because I've never tried to do it, but the one I was referring to seems to make it pretty easy: http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2011/01/20/django-mediasy...
Amazing! Works super well on Mobile Safari and it has the yeti attack at the end!
To me the links looked like they were to related articles, in the way that every other blog does it. I actually stopped reading the article two paragraphs in because I no longer respect the professional opinion of the blog based on this practice.
Though there is often hive mind behavior based on who posts. There are some 'HN celebrities' that certainly deserve the respect they get - they are knowledgable people with great opinions - the problem is they are not always right, nor are they always adding to the discussion in a useful way - yet they get upvoted to the top immediately even when a far better contribution to the post disappears further down.
So in practical terms how does one setup backends to use WebSockets. For example, suppose you have nginx in front of a bunch of Unicorn or Rainbow processes and there are two clients that have made websocket connections. Consider a chat application. One of them sends a websocket message and the backend that receives it needs to push the message along the other websocket connection. But how does it know which backend to forward to? What is the intended idiomatic way of maintaining the necessary state?
I've found Less Wrong to be somewhat useful and interesting community, and I've made some friends over the past year at a few of the meetups in the Bay Area.

That said, it's possibly slightly ironic that many (perhaps even the majority) of the LW members, (in my personal experience) seem to naturally posses low levels of instrumental rationality, and tend to be unusually self-unaware of their own feelings and unconscious motivations.

Another way to say this: "common sense" is not something (in my experience), that is respected, understood or utilized in spades within the community.

Furthermore, while there are criticisms of LW out there, I agree with Aaron Swartz's central claim[1] about a lack of skepticism. While I'm a huge advocate of Bayes theorem, I would be wary of calling myself a "Bayesian", or other self-reinforcing label. Although calibrated belief networks (eg BBN's)[2] are powerful, they can also fall prone to delusional outputs where there exists a lack of sufficient external feedback.

Much of the rhetoric focuses around the charismatic and arguably pompous (don't mean to sound harsh) character of Eliezer Yudkowsky. IMHO this is considerably more evident, than the level to which HN centers around PG, for example. As for LW, further comparison's have been made to a cult before. [3][4]

In addition, and this is more a personal quibble, there seems to be an inclination towards debate vs dialectic. But that's probably true of nearly any community out there. HTH.

That's a pretty good point, and a much better solution to the example I gave. It'd be interesting to see FetchRemoteString as a Func<string, string> property where you could have a default implementation (web client) and then in your test setup you could just redefine the property to do whatever you want.

The general point still stands though - if there was an interface, we wouldn't have to come up with these workarounds.
Sure, I expect violent crime to go down. But the point was the repeal of thee "strikes laws" probably won't change much. Even without three strikes you're not going to get much leniency from a judge on your third felony.

An html dsl is not a templating language. It's something else that you can use to solve a similar problem. Why do people keep calling them that?
Thanks for this write up! More things to think about.
Not that people necessarily do this, but if you duplicate a VM without changing the copy's MAC address then you're setting yourself up for all sorts of problems. It's not all that unreasonable to assume that MAC addresses are unique. After all, that's their whole point.

great feedback. I was also skeptical of using EMR hive due to the fact that it is so far behind in versions. Also RedShift can do the analytics part very well but I don't think it can do the exploration part that Hadoop/Hive are so good at (but maybe I am wrong)
Cryptographically random bit strings are more likely to be collision-free than whatever UUID scheme you can cook up. The reason is that finding a collision among (uniform, independent) random n-bit strings is extremely low as long as you produce fewer than roughly 2^(n/2) of them, whereas generating the same UUID according to a deterministic process is relatively plausible if you consider non-synchronized clocks and virtualization.
Disagree. Go read the NYT editorial response, it's so full of spin it could serve as an amusement park ride. It only served to muddy the waters, give some kind of half-not-apology, in the hopes the issue would drop.

I'm surprised so many people are hating on Mr. Musk.
There is something natural about HN. Something in the way that it has grown, slow and organically.

I can not imagine that a handful of threads started by celebrities would increase the value of HN significantly.

But I could see a handful of celebrity threads bringing in large groups of new users, which I think could threaten the community's standards of comment quality.

I've never successfully grown a community, but my personal theory is start with a quality base, and slowly trickle in new users so that they are able to naturally recognize the expectations of the community through existing comments. If you have a big influx of new users, you have a big influx of new comments with no understanding of what a good comment is.
Glad to hear that this ended well. I couldn't imagine what you went through not being able to sleep. I feel as though if you aren't physically feeling well, you can't sleep well. At the beginning of this year I was sick and man, was it tough trying to get a comfy night's rest.

I am so thankful now for nights that I can literally rest easy.
The problem being alluded to is that adding an Oxford comma makes it appear as if "a policeman" is a parenthetical phrase describing George.

"Through the window she saw George, a policeman, and several onlookers."

Does she see two men, the policeman and George, as well as several onlookers? Or does she see one man, George the policeman, and several onlookers?
This is awesome. The more feedback the better. Running lean startup on the lean startup blog.

The point was definitely not the logic of the examples! Rather to show three core similarities/differences:

* Ruby has bashisms like `foo`; Python requires a function call.

* Ruby has a nesting syntax similar to bash with if/end; Python is whitespace-sensitive.

* Ruby has method calls without parentheses, similar to bash commands, whereas Python requires them.

> Although if your goal is to determine if e.g. bash is located in /bin,

Actually, that was not the goal at all. The goal (which, again, is irrelevant to my point) was to determine if the PATH-resolved executable binary "foo" was in a specific location. Rest assured that I would not use "which" in a real-life app. :-)

(Thanks for commands.getoutput(), my Python is rusty.)

> If one was trying to indicate that George was, in fact, a policeman, then the grammatically correct thing to do would be to add a comma after 'policeman' because it is a parenthetical phrase (i.e. a nonessential bit of detail/information).

Perhaps it's grammatically correct, but now it's ambiguous. Since "a policeman" could be a parenthetical phrase or just another item in a list. I'd rather something be obviously wrong then unobviously ambiguous.

(I'm not advocating for or against the Oxford Comma in the general case. But here, the right approach is a rephrasing, as suggested by the GP.)

APT is just an externality for US biz right now. The fact that the Chinese were able to steal the plans to the JSF doesn't really hurt Lockheed-Martin's ability to sell the plane to the US or allies. Of course it hurts the ability of the buyers to effectively deploy the JSF against anyone able to buy JSF data from the Chinese; but LockMart really doesn't care too much about that.

Think of it like an HTTP request, except a two-way and very long-lived. Not too unlike Comet except with a secure-by-design approach. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_(programming)
While it does seem Musk might actually feel personally aggrieved, I see the situation as follows: In spite of a lot of progress on making a fully electric car, the Tesla S has obvious shortcomings as a replacement for an ICE car. Mainly, it requires constant vigilance to maintain the battery, and the battery is subject to unpredictable behavior with regards to predicted range and maintaining a charge, which are worsened by cold.

These weaknesses were illustrated by the original NYT article, and no amount of spin, or "better" reporting can change this.

Musk knows that once a meme gets started along the lines of ""Tesla is the car that leaves you stranded unpredictably and doesn't work in cold climate" gets started, it is game over for reaching a mass market. So the story is a potential existential threat to the company, requiring maximum response. Losing credibility with some of the HN crowd is not such a threat, the market they represent is tiny.

He mainly needed to bring up doubts about the story enough to prevent it from becoming a defining story on the S. It might not have been pretty, but in this I would say he succeeded.
A lot of programmers in my dinky third-world country haven't heard of Python or Ruby - most folks here think web development begins with Java and ends with PHP.

You're wrong.

Read nbroyal's response above as to why. A, b and c is quite grammatically clearly a list.

It may be unclear if you are not a native English speaker, but it is grammatically unambiguous.

For one, it's heavy compared to some very simple JS and a good portion of the time you don't need the entirety of the library.

That said, it does abstract much of the crap that goes along with XMLHttpRequests and all the cross-browser idiosyncrasies that go along with it.

I'd say at this point it's a matter of personal preference and performance requirements.
HN AMAs would fill a niche that doesn't really exist elsewhere: the opportunity to have questions asked by an audience focussed on tech and entrepreneurship. Reddit's too mainstream to get questions about the things HNers tend to care about upvoted. I'd certainly appreciate the flavour that HN would bring to an AMA.

If Kim Jong-un said he was the Queen of Pluto and the Financial Times responded with "the Kim family are genetically engineered Nazis", I would still lose respect for the Financial Times.

Musk's portrayal of the New York Times's response is dishonest; that burden is not lightened by the Times's original article having been similarly inventive.
Defense is hard; that doesn't mean measures shouldn't be taken to protect your assets. However, due to how western businesses operate, it's almost trivial to successfully attack them. The attack surface is just too large, and most businesses can't afford security measures and restrictions that would truly make them safe.
>I'm not sure what Musk is trying to accomplish at this point, his "spin" is transparent and it feels condescending.

He's attempting to change the public perception surrounding a very questionable hit piece on his company.

I would argue, from personal experience, that anytime you can either 1-remove a class of errors, or 2-move that error discovery sooner to the time of authorship or compilation you have likely reduced the number of bugs that you will ship with. HAML accomplishes this for tag closing errors.
I've seen the same tip, with one added step: don't open the package for 24-48 hours. If the package is being tracked and the police is waiting to pounce once delivery has been made, you don't want to be caught with an opened box. If unopened you can fake innocence and say you were meaning to send it back.

In your example you should be adding a fixed cost to both goods. I.e. imagine, that a country introduced a universal vehicle tax of 20K. So, buyers will be choosing between 40K Toyota and 70K BMW.

So, before the tax BMW would be 2.5 times more expensive then Toyota, but only 1.75 times after the tax.

Which still does not answer the question about the increase in consumption in absolute or relative terms.

If you are active in social-media both private and/or professionaly you are probably familiar with the following: getting great content to share...every single day! I usually crawl blogs, use sites like bottlenose and have an optimized rss-feed but it still takes me hours to get through all the articles. It's a major pain for me. Even worse I do a lot of community management with one of my businesses and a lot of times you don't have domain expertise in the specific area, so it is even harder to identify great content. That's why I created branditch.com. I am currently working on the web-interface but have already launched the mail-version where you get content delivered daily to your inbox, similiar to the StartUpDigest, which I totally love! Right now we only cover a few areas but will expand them over time! Would love your feedback on this!! http://branditch.com Best regards

someone advised disabling syntax coloring in your editor to remove a crutch (and, secondarily, to visually simplify your environment) ... You have to read the code more closely, and think more carefully about what's on screen

I don't want to have to think more carefully about things that don't matter like syntax. Highlighting gives you visual clues so you can get meaning from code more quickly and get on with it, instead of having to read everything carefully.

Plus: pretty colors.

(Disclaimer: I'm the other guy behind BundleScout.)

The Django project does a fantastic job with announcements. (So does Rails.) And if every open source project had the infrastructure to make that much noise, the world would be a better place. But of the 100k or so Python/Ruby/NPM projects I know about, only a small handful do, or could even manage it.

And if they did, would you want to be on every one of their mailing lists?

Bleach, for example, has more users than I have twitter followers, so I doubt most of them heard about v1.2.1. (Out today! Go get it!)

> but it kinda sucks that you'd make people pay to hear about security issues

Well, like you said, there are other ways to hear about updates, at least from the big projects. This is the convenience of not needing to join dozens of mailing lists and/or check dozens of websites periodically.
The easiest way is to just read 128-bits of randomness. There's no good use case, outside of wanting sorted identifiers, that warrant using non-random UUIDs.

A person with common sense would look at the mass of a baby, and the mass of an adult human. They'd consider their tendencies to sleep heavily, and perhaps conclude that the adult could easily roll over on the baby, and kill it. Or knock it off the edge of the bed, and kill it.

Hell, if you do the research there are plenty instances of people punching their sleeping partner in the face during sleep, because they were having a dream (I almost did it once, with my fist landing right next to my girlfriend's head in her pillow. I thought I was having a fist fight, but I was dreaming)

So, could a human kill a baby by sleeping with it? I don't know. Could a swallow carry a coconut?
You can't. It's a super car-centric game. You can't even build pedestrian-only streets or lanes. Light rail is married to roads. There's no way to set bus routes, buses will visit every single stop in town. Oh and subways don't exist either.

Hopefully there's a 'rush hour' style expansion that lets us simulate cities other than Los Angeles.
This whole thing seems like pointless hair splitting between the Model S being very bad for road trips or only moderately bad for road trips.

In either case, take the train or rent a car. The car seems perfect for day to day driving.
