This is not rocket science. You need only to take a glace around the office to notice that our industry is not exactly the healthiest. We are sitting all day, eat pizza, and guzzling energy drinks (mind eye: google "cartman gamer"), obviously this is an exaggeration, but in some cases, it isn't! Adding exercise can go a long way, you do not have to think of this as wasted time, you can listen to audio books, podcasts, etc while you are doing your thing.

My main gripe is that as engineers and measurement freaks, I want to research exercise before actually doing anything, and then want to measure my results. There is no clear action path down this road. Diet and exercise are two side of the same coin. Maybe I'll produce some content on this topic since I have spent the last couple years getting my house in order.

For example, say, starting tomorrow, you wanted to "eat healthy" and "workout". What would you do? There is nothing that will give you a grocery list + meal plan, along with a workout routine. You need to do all this research first!
I thought there might be a mass exodus, but that hasn't happened yet. What I think might happen is people will keep using the vanilla cloud for day to day, but then switch platforms for "sensitive" topics. IE. you send me an email about the special project, then we go on Silent Circle to continue the discussion. Kinda like talking on the phone and then meeting in person.

This of course does not solve the metadata problem. But I don't think the populace is really considering this angle. Protecting content is much more visceral.
This article (http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/09/the-scientific-7-mi...) was popular on HN months back.

Looks like http://www.7-min.com/ has made a timer application for the workout routine.
Can modern crypto systems conveniently support manual, verifiable entropy?

What I mean - even if I don't trust any of the computers RNG's, if I want, I can generate a 2048 bit random key manually with a piece of paper and a few somewhat fair dice. Sure, it'll take time, but it's feasible.
Improve the product. For a site that starts with "The most beautiful way to", your design needs work, so I'd start there. Good luck.
I'll also vote Simple Made Easy above Are We There Yet. I've talked about it at length with a bunch of other programmers and get consistently better responses from starting people with Simple Made Easy.
> And as for it being unreliable: [citation needed]. I've never had problems sending data to another NFC-enabled device

I've personally never had it work. I tried twice with different two phones (Motorola and Samsung) and while it did recognize it was supposed to do something NFC-esque, the data never transferred. At that point I gave up and just swapped SD-cards and manually copied the data over.

Just my experience but I'm not interested in trying again when there are other methods that I know will transfer data guaranteed to work.
StackOverflow and the StackOverflow community shaved years off my quest to learn to develop software. I can't express enough how much I owe to the people who made SO and make SO thrive.
I would actually say that "perfect egg timer" time is the closest thing to The One True Time, if such a thing were actually possible (of course it isn't, due to the relativistic effects you mention).

Initially we are implementing it as a curated list of curators. Unclear where it'll go long term.
Maybe some people have it out for Canonical no matter what, but the fact that Wilson accepted the patches only to reject them days later while blaming some anonymous "management" seems to pin this entire "controversy" on IBM. If the only accepted course for Canonical is to shit-can Mir and take whatever Wayland eventually becomes (I mean, who's to say the same wouldn't happen to any Wayland patches Canonical produces?), it shouldn't surprise anyone that Canonical prefer working on projects they have some opportunity to influence.
"It has public safety flight approvals from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to fly in some parts of Colorado." <- from the article. That is hardly the same as the FAA being okay with them patrolling the area FEMA was operating in. Is there another part of the article where I'm missing something?

My goal isn't to defend FEMA, per se, but this obviously a heavily one-sided article.
New start up came with an idea of pocket sized email server
Hey Ben,

Author of go-workers here. On SIGTERM, I stop accepting new work, and wait for all running workers to finish before halting.

If workers take longer than the 10 seconds Heroku gives you, go-workers uses reliable queueing (using http://redis.io/commands/brpoplpush) so the job will run again next time you start up the process.
The fable here is that neglecting facets of your lifestyle has consequences. Exercise tends to correlate heavily with consciously managing diet and mental health.

I am thankful that someone as PG is a proponent of this sort of thing because the state of workplace culture (in many places) is already unhealthy enough (e.g. bagel Monday, pizza Friday, donut Wednesday, coupled with excessive sitting and high caffeine consumption). We all could benefit from employers who felt it a responsibility to keep their employees healthy (though the onus is ultimately on individuals, of course).
Apparently you can because i saw her newsfeed and it said that I Liked his page when i never had been to his page before.
A book idea : "A Little History of the World" by Ernst Gombrich, the author of "The Story of Art". The book is aimed at children ("für junge Leser" in original title) but not too much and may let him discover new topic of interest (History in general or a specific period/civilisation).

Startups That Received Investment from In-Q-Tel
He also has an excellent ability to make the complex and abstract seem simple and obvious. His talks are not bullet points of "how to program good" that you're supposed to check off as you code - they're deeper-but-general ideas that are supposed to simmer and percolate.

All the smartest people I know (far smarter than me) are constantly impressed by his talks - and discussing with them often makes me realise I've missed some bigger-picture concepts.

So my conclusion (in lieu of a chat over a beer with the person to dig deeper) is to assume that superficial dismissal of his talks mostly demonstrate a superficial understanding of the content.
If you do not mind a small adventure, consider moving to another country or continent. PhD positions in some countries (e.g. The Netherlands) are paid quite ok, with few distractions (usually fully focused on research), and a 40-hour work week.

Of course, there is good competition, so it might be harder to get such a position.
Not really. GPLv3 will prevent hardware manufacturers from locking down their devices if they intend to ship Ubuntu Mobile. This is a good thing for users of those devices. I can't defend Canonical's support of proprietary drivers, especially on these devices that are known to be used for such pervasive spying, but at least a non-hardware-locked device allows for workarounds (i.e. deployment of your own free drivers).
tl;dr Coder's boss complains "Why can't this be like it is on my iPhone." Coder complains "Why can't Google make it easy for the cases that kind of map to iPhone functionality to have a pre-cooked UI (I suppose ShareActionProvider isn't quite it?)

The real problem is too few apps implement too few Intent filters other than Intent.ACTION_SEND.
Am I the only one who's not going to?

Have more interesting/less awful ways to spend my time. Go to a concert, for example.
In Germany you get around 2000-2500 netto per month for doing a PhD. Its like an entry level engineering salary, but instead of working for someone else, you are working for your self (on your own PhD, which is a lot of fun). Furthermore, you are still a student, so you get all the student benefits available (really cheap transportation, cheaper food, cheaper sports, travels...).

Definitive Guide To Getting Better At Shit
Ezra Klein: Taking antibiotics you don’t really need might kill you
I would urge you to very much think of it as 'wasted time'. There's an obsession here from some people with filling every moment with information (such as audio books, podcasts, etc.).

While exercising it's a perfect time to have no other stimuli and let your mind wander. Just let it wander. It's really useful to do that because rather than listening to other people's thoughts you'll have thoughts of your own. Unexpected thoughts at that.
Open hardware might make you feel better, but it wouldn't be substantially harder for the people who control the manufacturing process to backdoor.
I can't talk about Pax Dickinson but he can. Ask him anything.
I realized the limiting factor in my performance is not time, it's mental energy. Since I started running almost every day, the time it takes to run more than makes up for itself in added mental energy.

And if you bring someone you need to talk with with you to run (or at least walk) outdoors in the sunshine, it sometimes turns into a more focused discussion than you might have had indoors at your usual places surrounded by your laptops and phones.

Curious, pizza seems really healthy to me: Cheese, tomatoes, veggies, maybe a tiny bit of meat, the dough isn't really worse than normal bread (get whole wheat dough!)
Ask HN: Features for a programming resource portal?
What features would you like to see for a website linking to outside resources for programming languages/frameworks/technologies/libraries?

I want to build a website to help programmers find relevant resources for beginner/advanced subjects or tutorials for languages/technologies/whatever. I've had this idea for a side project in my head for a while now and I think I've finally convinced myself its worth pursuing.

It'll mostly consist of a simple search + tagging system on links to other websites. The main thing I'm hopping to have to make it better than just googling is:

a) User rating system to help promote good resources and demote bad ones (think something like HN).

b) Focus on programming resources (so less crap links in results).

c) Some social aspects to add weight and opinion to resources.

The social aspects I'd like to add are comments on resource links and possibly forums for every top level category (languages, frameworks, etc) for QA and general discussion.

Does anyone have any ideas to add to the pot? I really interested in what what anyone has to say about this (criticisms included).
> And even then, if his counterparts are not doing the same, we're back to the original problem.

Not necessarily. It means he removes the "trove" aspect of his email inbox. Putting together all his communications from the recipients adds to the difficulty (not impossible since "they" have all the metadata and others are probably compromised), but at least he removes the major point of failure.
Not making time for exercise now seems akin to cutting out food because you have no time to eat

So now we just need Soylent for Exercise ;-)

FWIW, I agree with the article. Also, exercising seemed like a chore at first, but now it's fun and I look forward to it.
I remember seeing the original journal article a while ago on Slashdot (somehow it never made it to the front page on HN). It's really ingenious - even inspection under a microscope can't spot the difference between the tampered hardware RNG and a honest implementation, it passes all the tests, and yet it actually has so little entropy that essentially anyone can break otherwise-secure crypto that uses it.
Daily exercise can be very efficient if you're doing something like T25 or Insanity. It also improves the quality of your other time.

My Friends and I Bought an Island
Did you ever try passing one of those links to a colleague? They were doing some referrer-checking at one point - if you weren't coming from Google, you didn't get the answer.
A "not relevant" question is usually not a "bad" question, but just a question that can't have a good, definitive answer. SO are trying to be a site hosting such answers, not discussions.

So opinion-based questions are explicitly unwelcome on SO. They can collect lots of worthy information in comments, so such questions are usually closed but not deleted.

SO even tried to channel the discussions by developing discourse.org so that interested parties can get a them a discussion forum and continue there :)
I figured there was a narrow focus at this point: it makes perfect sense. I was just wondering why that particular focus. Having thought on it some more, it looks like a clever strategy: the Word case has a half-solution already, with Track Changes and numbered file versions. In Powerpoint, there's simply no such thing.

I wish the Kivo team every success.
Or better still instead of doing pointless exercise: do something useful. Help someone build a house, go shopping for old ladies in the neighbourhood, chop wood for your stove (or your neighbours stove), chase pickpockets, and if you have them play with your kids (or someone else's kids!).

Anything as long as it is useful and you get your exercise.
Well so do I, but I don't get a headline on HN because of it. What makes him so damn special.
Actually, there is a financial advantage to upgrading every year in certain circumstances. I have staggered contracts on my plan. A phone comes up every year. If I upgrade every year, I can re-sell my existing phone for more money than it will cost me to upgrade. If I wait every two years, this is no longer true. I pay more. By upgrading every year, I actually save money.
Annoyingly, "eat healthy" and "workout" also draw from the same reservoir of will power, making it even harder to address both at once.

Not really. I much prefer the GPL, since I think copyleft is (at least partly) what has made Linux the massive success it is, and I think a copyleft licence for a display server would similarly be better. But in this situation, I have to support Wayland over Mir. The reason largely being that Wayland vs. Mir actually gives credence to the argument that Linux can't succeed on the desktop because of fragmentation. Normally in response to that argument, I'd say it's not that big of a deal, and that things like different package managers and desktop environments keep a healthy level of competition, while still having a great amount of cooperation. But when it comes to display servers, we're talking about something that requires driver support, which is already one of (if not the) top problems on GNU/Linux. Forcing the small teams that deal with Linux graphics driver development to choose between using their already limited time to support the general standard or what the most popular distro uses is a horrible decision.
If you want measurable results, try CrossFit. It is built around measurable results. Every workout is done in comparison to the last time you did that particular workout. By tracking your results over time, you can quickly measure the progress you have made.
http://7min.io/ is also really good for the 7 minute workout
You can definitely get a job as a staff researcher at a national lab or small applied-science company (there are a ton of companies doing DARPA research). Note that due to the way the world is, you may not be able to be the prime scientist on a contract, but that does not stop you from doing basic research via collaboration.

If your contributions become noteworthy in the field, then along with the relationships that you've generated with your DARPA/NSF/? partner, you will eventually be able to be a prime.

To reiterate some of the other comments here, you may not be able to pick the 'basic research' that you want to work on in the above scenarios... usually the grant sponsors decide that.
Why not just use underscore.js then? It uses Array.prototype.map for _.map if present and fallback to its own implementation otherwise.
Well, yes, but the author equated (in my reading) The One True Time with the wall time/time provided by NTP and such, which clearly jumps around and is UTC.

The ‘perfect egg timer’ is, if anything, comparable to the monotonic clocks.
I think the problem is calorie density - 1 piece of a Papa Johns pepperoni pizza has 330 calories.
Thanks for the suggestion. Can you tell me how you would use such an integration?

Exercise is a source of confidence, motivation, and resilience -- a free and unlimited source. So not only will it benefit you, but keeping yourself physically and mentally healthy will likely increase the chances of your startup succeeding. I say that because people often feel, including me, that exercise comes at the cost of productivity, when in fact it multiplies it.

At small companies the job is mixed with other jobs. So, you might need to actually code your grand vision. Also, usually a product manager knows the business side of the product to a another level all together. Consulting is a very good thing for someone to do directly out of college. You get to see all types of business and projects, meet alot of new contacts, etc. I would try for your dream job get feedback about where your coming up short. Also try networking with people that have that job already.
I can't comment on DigitalOcean, but I've been using Linode for a couple of years and have been happy.

They've offered several free hardware upgrades (CPU cores, transfer, storage) and one optional upgrade (Doubling RAM) that set me back an extra five cents a month.

I haven't had any issues, but from what I have seen Linode is very responsive.
> What would you do?

Come up with a minimum viable plan, then iterate, obviously!

But seriously, you can start doing simple exercises and improving your diet while you're researching the next step of the plan. Take the stairs instead of the elevator; get off one stop earlier on the bus/train, and walk a little further. Park in the far corner of the parking lot. Do push-ups at home. Eat at least one salad a day. Cut your soda consumption in half, then to nothing.

Is there a term for the paralysis you work yourself into because you don't want to start something until you've perfectly researched it?
My advice would be to wear a polar heart monitor to the gym and just shoot for X calories per visit. I AM NOT advocating "calories in calories out" but just that it's a constant metric regardless of how you exercise.

I'd also say google "starting strength" and do that. It's the first lifting program that's actually been really transformative to my body comp.

If you wanna log strength progress try fitocracy or something.
Seems similar to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brotherhood_and_unity, of course that didn't end too well.
Frankly both audio and video "just work" in Linux, and have for years. It has been several years since I bothered to look up what chips a computer had and what Linux support was like before making a purchase.

I just buy the hardware I want, assume it will work, and find that it does. Maybe I've been getting lucky, but I don't think so.

The only real remaining pain in the ass is printer support, but who the hell uses printers these days?
It's more likely Intel is hiding a back door in their microcode mechanism, which has been suspected for some time. AMD publicly denounced having any back door in their hardware: http://www.fudzilla.com/home/item/32120-amd-denies-existence...
It wouldn't be that hard to have the backdoor reach out to a remote host instead. Once you have any amount of control at the internal level, firewalls filtering inbound packets are basically worthless.
Title is misleading, Gabe isn't promising any new hardware. Valve is poised to release "more information about how we get there and what are the hardware opportunities we see".

If commercial developers want to add private features to the outliner, we will try to work with them. We just want to be sure we can have a conversation about compatibility, and perhaps create revenue to fund development.

If someone had specific questions about how she could build on this, surely she would just reach out to Dave and have a conversation?

I have a pair of jeans shorts, size X. When the waistband is tight, I'm not exercising enough. When I need a belt, I'm doing 'enough'.

It's rough but it works.

I've been standing on the corner all morning. Zero pickpockets.

I went to the construction site across the street - and they threw me off when I was asking to borrow a hammer.

(Those were really weird examples of "useful exercise")
Well, once again I've learned that someone is always thinking about what I'm thinking, and in this case, doing a much better job implementing it.
It's unhealthy and will make you fat - the dough is normally white bread which is awful for you, wheat bread has a slightly lower glycemic index but more calories and it is still bad for you. Cheese which is incredibly calorie dense and really fattening, tomato paste is basically water. Stay away!
Shooting reported at Washington Navy Yard
I'm sorry, but must be missing something. How does a GPLv3 display server prevent locking down the hardware? Afaik, the anti-TiVoization stuff only applies to the software that's GPLv3, not the stack it's running on.

It could have been that they mistakenly liked it I suppose.
FEMA is supposed to coordinate to aid disaster preperation, response, and recovery. They have wide ranging powers to do so because there are a wide range of disasters out there.

Suppose you have 20,000+ stranded on a tiny island in the middle of a flood. Your air lifting in supplies but there are several news helicopters in the area slowing things down. You can't tell them to go pound sand directly but you can call the FAA and get the FAA to tell them to GTFO.
