You guys are completely off the mark. Obviously you need to do high intensity workouts the proper way. The higher the intensity, the better you must be at doing the exercise properly. Since you seem to have started working out using high intensity, I assume you did not know how to properly do it. High Intensity is not recommended to beginners. It is a special form of workout. This is why they mention this in the article:

"caution should be taken when prescribing this protocol to individuals who are overweight/obese, detrained, previously injured, or elderly or for individuals with comorbidities. For individuals with hypertension or heart disease, the isometric exercises (wall sit, plank, and side plank) are not recommended."

Obviously, for beginners, something with less intensity, and a higher tolerance for mistake will have better results. While you learn how to properly do exercise, and build a core foundation, that will later allow you to move to high intensity. The reason you would want to later move to high intensity, is for either lack of time, in which case, you will need the shortest workout with the highest fitness accomplishments. Or for improved oxygen flow levels and decreased body fat, which high intensity is often better at than other types of workout, no matter how much of it.

The workout described in this article, is one routine, you should not be doing it ad vitam eternam, it serves as an example, and you already need to be in a certain fitness level to perform it properly.
How do you handle work-for-hire requests?
If a client says this to you:

We expect to wholly and completely own the program, the source code for the program, and any associated products such as artwork used to produce the final product.

Aside from the fact that I am creating a web app, using lots of open-source technology (which obviously they can't own), what does that statement mean really?

If I write a nice, elegant, custom method (say a before_filter) that solves a particular problem in this project (one that I have never encountered before, but I would like to use in the future), by agreeing to this clause does it mean that I can't use that custom method or any other original works I create for that project?

This seems like a trap all around. How do I avoid getting myself handcuffed and prevented from continually improving my craft by using work I have done in other projects and making it better?
As a merchant who uses Square, I can say that the merchant does not
have access to the e-mail address or SMS number that the receipt is
sent to. That Square has access and will offer the customer the
choice of using a previously used receipt destination, could be seen
as a great convenience for repeat customers, or a privacy issue -
you decide. For details, see:

The Stand appears to be an entry in the niche of minimal POS
(Point-of-Sale) setups, perhaps as an answer to an upgrade desire:
"I like Square, but I need something more like a cash register."

It does seem to solve a security issue by tethering the iPad to the
counter, which anyone whose phone has been stolen can readily appreciate.

I am surprised that the signature process is not done by tilting the
device toward the customer and letting the screen display rotate.
Perhaps Square is aiming more toward upscale retailers with great
expanses of customer-facing counter space (who would also be more
likely to pay the 2.75% transaction fee.) Perhaps the choice of white hardware is based on the same approach.

I don't think I'd go so far as egotistical, but I do think putting a "significant" amount of money towards an issue that, as stated, just doesn't affect the patient's life that much is hard to fathom when there are so many fatal or crippling diseases and issues that such an amount of money could likely help as much.

Of course it's his money and his choice, and there's nothing bad or wrong about funding something that's important to him, but it does seem a little... shallow, I suppose.

I would propose that deliberate practice (http://www.freakonomics.com/2011/05/04/deliberate-practice-h...) is more key than age (I could be goofing off for 40 years) and experience (I could be poorly repeating the same inefficient niche for a long time).
Oh, I like the water-wall too. But a driver who misses the 1st two no-damage physical-contact warnings I've proposed -- and thus would hit the damaging third hard bar -- would quite possibly ignore the water-wall too.

After all, the water wall seems primarily visual, and the driver has already missed numerous visual warnings. The contact protectors add collision-noise and vibration, which are rare enough that even a dozing/road-hypnotized driver is likely to take note.

Comparative testing is of course justified.

> Plus there's the conspiracy theory that the US cutting off Japan of necessary war materials is what led to Pearl Harbor in the first place.

Conspiracy theory? Pearl Harbor, in the form of the attack on a US territory quite so distant from Japanese interests, came about as a result of the US embargo on Japanese use of the panama canal, and their import of metal and oil. The attack happened during the negotiations between the Japan and US about the embargoes, which were not going remotely well for Japan.

Ultimately, it was Japan's hostile action, but the embargoes directly precipitated the military reaction. Had the US completely ignored Japan (not that that would have been a good thing - ultimately the US did the world a service in ending their brutal expansion), the US would not have been drawn into war with them at that point, or likely for years hence, if ever, as the USSR would likely have taken care of it, or, hell, maybe even allied with the US throughout a quick and decisive war - the Japanese would have (and nearly did, on Aug 9th '45) crumbled under that opposing force. Wouldn't that have been a world.
A lot of "tech" companies are in those two sectors.

How is funding research that will benefit people, including yourself, egotistical? It seems like a perfectly logical thing to do.

I'm sure he does plenty of other philanthropic projects. He only mentioned one as it was related to the story he was writing about.

Standards are a separate issue. We manage to have standards for things like screws, nuts, bolts, and even connector head shapes for electronics.

Electronics manufacturers made plenty of money in a world of analog standards; they make plenty in a world of digital standards too, and would continue to make plenty of money in the absence of HDCP. Electronics manufacturers and entertainment companies became some of the most powerful corporations in the country before the DMCA was passed.

that's a very US-centric analysis.

In general, you could make a different analysis: Governments should licence monopolies over pieces of the earth to prevent the Tragedy of the Commons. And Because intellectual property does not have the economic property of rivalrousness (and may even be anti-rivalrous), the tragedy of the commons does not apply, and so the moral justification for monopoly licence does not trump the government's obligation to protect the freedom to do what you want with what you have.

No, really, the Go answer to version control of dependencies seems to be "clone the head of the master branch of a Github repo". Blaming someone for using the only thing that seems to be supported is a little harsh.

Seems to me lame excuses from the original developer who made horrible version control decisions and then abandoned ship.
This is a pretty common thing if you want to get absolute separation for applications within a single (large) vm and is used extensively in the PaaS world. Have a look at cloudfoundry (look on github). This is how it manages containers for each application. Heroku, dotCloud and others seems to follow similar approaches.

Long answer short, a lxc container would look like a self-contained vm to everything outside and from within (except for the controlling vm). You can go with the existing model but I would recommend using one container per application/service.
Also have a look at: https://github.com/dotcloud/docker‎

That's a good point and seemingly common reasoning (at least around here), but it does raise some chicken–egg questions.
There are a lot of people that think that using those is a bad idea, but those are at least versioned. There's a pretty big difference between pulling a specific version from an external source and always pulling the latest.

> Having a language feature to fetch dependencies from mutable online sources means that you're practically asking for programs to break unpredictably based on external changes.

Go devs always said that Go is designed to solve Google problems in Googley ways. All Google code builds from HEAD, at least it did when I was last there. The reasoning for this is that breaking changes can be discovered ASAP, instead of depending on code several versions back that might be much more painful to upgrade should the need arise.

This is another case of the Google way having a sane reasoning, but perhaps does not work in other cases. I'd personally prefer some versioning system, but I can see why they've done it the way they did.
But it's completely speculative and wrong. It's not really relevant.
Usually marketing surveys and things will ask for demographic details before they give you the splitting question(s) to determine if you're a fit. I guess they're not really interested in that in this case. Larry did say " we’ve put together a patient survey to gather information about other people with similar conditions" so I guess it is exclusively just to try to gather some data about the issue.
One thing we saw from that $100 million was that higher production values don't translate into more views. But really, why should they? What matters is content; I'm very happy for people to continue producing videos in their living room on their laptop, if the content is good.
Yes, and that is why it is the developer's fault and not Go's. The script tag doesn't magically know that this is a specific version of jquery, it will happily let you reference code from a version that will change from under you too. The script tag simply allows importing any external code, its up to you to choose a good source. In exactly the same way, this Go feature can be used to reference code that is not expected to change (for example, by referencing a specific tag in a github repo), but can also be "misused" by referencing something that will change from under you. There exists no way to write this feature such that it only allows linking to "immutable sources". Its the same as writing a bootstrap script that downloads HEAD sources and compiles them, and then getting angry at bash or wget because it should "know about versioning".

Thanks for posting this. Where did you teach?

I have a somewhat similar background myself, so its nice to see you get a warm reception. Maybe in 6 more months of rigorous self study I will hopefully be "hirable" as well.

As it stands today,here is my background:

-28, non ivy-league Bachelors of Marketing

-Two years teaching English in Japan and learning Japanese

-Epiphany upon returning that since I have a knack for spoken languages(Chinese, Japanese), I might like programming languages.

-3 months of self-directed learning, and familiarity with HTML, CSS, Javascript, Python, HTTP, Linux

I still have a ways to go however. Once I feel competent I would like to move past tutorials and find a really cool open source project to work on, or start something of my own.

Thanks for the inspiration!

A failed startup is a great learning experience but when you're not ready for it or don't learn from it, it becomes less of a benefit and more of a poor choice. Having said that the circumstances one must be in to startup his or her own business are very specific.

> since the starting costs are relatively very low

I'd have to disagree. Unless you're weighing "cost" on just monetary value. A startup will cost you your free time, your health, your current career, and in some cases your relationship if you have one. Truly being successful in the startup world is extremely challenging and one that comes at many costs.

This is almost the exact same thing members of the band Def Leppard said about their drummer when he lost his arm in a tour bus accident. They said the limitation caused him to become a better drummer.

Def Leppard subsequently became one of the most successful hard rock bands in history when their first album post-accident, "Hysteria," sold 20M copies. Several of the beats on that album became legendary, including the beat to "Pour Some Sugar On Me" [1]

It's not egotistical, but you could call it selfish. He wants to cure himself. Steve Jobs was on a similar quest to cure cancer - because he didn't want to die. Larry wants to speak normally again.

Behind many non-profits and causes there was a similar personal catalyst. People trying to get rid of the three strikes law or drunk driving were many times similarly motivated into action by a personal tragedy.
If they increased the "all-red" time to match, then good for Florida. They've increased their revenues, their roads are safer, and those who are running yellows are getting what they deserve. Running yellows is illegal and far too common.

If they didn't increase the all-red time they are making the roads more dangerous. People get accustomed to the length of the yellow & all-red time. But if the total doesn't change, only the relative proportions it shouldn't have an impact on safety.

How is this Go's fault? Just because you can pull code automatically from a remote repository doesn't mean you always should.

What about branching and then doing:

where commit-hash is the last known working commit.

Just do that with all the repos around the date it last worked. If there are alot of commits between the last working version and HEAD it is easier to do this then reverting each commit.
There is a portion of time where all of the lights at the intersection are red. The person you are responding to notes that as long as this portion of time is increased such that the total time that the intersection has for someone to clear it (i.e. - time that the light is yellow plus time that the lights are all red) stays the same then safety inside the intersection should not be impacted.

This says nothing about safety leading up to the intersection (e.g. - people slamming on their brakes).
