There's a very obvious solution that doesn't require any special programs, give employees time and incentive to get exercise and make sure your office is right next to a gym or other place to get exercise.

The biggest predictor I've found to getting regular exercise once you have a gym membership is how far you live from a gym. When someone tells me they go to the gym regularly I ask how far they live from the gym and it is typical that the gym is extremely convenient for them (usually within a few blocks in a city or a few minutes drive in the suburbs).

I started asking this when I noticed the impact of convencient on my exercise habits. I myself was in the best shape of my life when I lived two blocks from a gym. It made going to the gym an "impulse" option for which I didn't have to set aside time in my schedule. I went practically everyday, but not at a set time in the day. It's easy to maintain a daily habit that you can do at any time during the day. It's much harder to maintain a habit that you only have one or two slots of time available in the day to do, since every other concern that can't wait and need to be done during your exercise slots threatens making exercise a habit.

For example, I think both Asana and Heroku have it right by making wellness accessible. Both have yoga rooms and classes daily. I would be much more likely to participate if a wellness activity like yoga were made that accessible.

If the gym or other physical activity isn't convenient and there isn't time set aside for it, it usually won't happen.
How did you get a taskbar on the laptop and just one monitor? I thought cloning the taskbar to secondary monitors was an all-or-nothing affair.
The 16th amendment was ratified before WWI began, also four years before the U.S. entered the war.
This. In one week I had to rip out two different things in the middle of the night. One was a simple revert, one was dropping an entire system which had taken months of work and reverting back to the old system.

In both cases, I wrote a detailed technical explanation of why I had taken the action, and an apology for having to do it so suddenly, and I sent to to the entire group (a requirement anyway - if you make an on-the-fly ops change, you need to write up a full incident report so everyone knows what went wrong)

Reverting always needs to come with a "this is what was wrong".
> Common practice programming languages like Go are getting into the 1980s or so, research-wise. The Haskell community is into the 90s, along with some genuinely new stuff. Both have a long way to go before they're accepted common practice.

Rust actually uses new stuff; the borrow checker builds on old ideas from Cyclone and others from the 90s, but it mixes it with some interesting research ideas of its own (using C++ destructors to get region typing at the level of individual values, not of regions) to come up with something that's actually fairly novel.

Sure, but that reaction isn't directed at any particular group; rather, it's a "hurt them with whatever hurts" reaction to attempting to claim an identity, in a place where identity is itself discouraged. Amusingly-enough, there are slurs that are aimed at white male 20-somethings as well, when someone mentions they are one. Even though the people doing the slur-ing probably are also one. It's the principle of the thing. (The core of it being the slur "tripfag", which is used when you don't know anything about the person to hurt them with, but you still want to insult them for trying to persist their identity between posts.)

Picture 4chan as a masquerade ball in a politically-unstable climate. For example, imagine WWII-era Germany, with both members of the Nazi party, and persecuted minorities, participating. Nobody knows who anyone else is, though, and so everyone is generally genial toward one-another.

Now imagine that you start to take off your mask. I would think the immediate reaction would be for whoever was nearby to shove it forcibly back onto your face.
Really out of date.

Even in America, there was a distinction, or at least there used to be. If it was a "college" then that meant there was limited to no opportunity for graduate studies. On the other hand, a "university" offered full undergraduate as well as graduate programs for most subjects. In highschool, I remember noting that some colleges where quite prestigious, such as Dartmouth and Harvey Mudd College.
Oddly enough the author brings up some good points, but wow, 500 words where 1 would do.

Various bits that stereotype males. The ideals[0] of equality state that every person is an individual unto themselves, and should be evaluated and communicated with as such. Creating a group to stereotype by focusing on a singular attribute is foolish at best, and dangerous at worst.

All that said, some good points about the coopting of sub-culture and the problems with men being disallowed to express their feelings contributing to some social ills.

The author also uses the phrase "women's culture", which as a believed in transhumanist philosophies I question. Again, it is creating a hard dividing line based upon some physical characteristic, physical characteristics that that hopefully one day will be as fluid as code.

[0] And yes, needless to say, this goes both ways.
I'm not sure about that, I'm from the UK and most of my exposure to US culture comes from the internet or the media but I get the impression that there are simply more extremes of opinion in the US than there are here.

Your liberals are more progressive and your conservatives are more conservative, at least towards the fringes.

I think it would be much easier to find a consensus of opinion in the UK on most topics than it would be in the US.

It might be true that the political status quo (on many issues) in the US is further to the right than it is here, but that might be because progressives feel that they have to vote for the party that most closely represents their views and has a chance of being elected (presumably democrat) rather than a party that they necessarily agree with.
Can this be done via a "click here to confirm" email, or does this require phone conversations with the registrar? I don't like registering domains using my real name.
>This is a fallacy. All herbicide use selects for herbicide resistance. Herbicide resistance is a problem completely independent of GMOs, and is in no way exacerbated by using GMOs

Actually, it's your comment there that contains the fallacy. Roundup-Ready GM crops are designed to survive Roundup dosing (obviously). This leads to an overall increase in Roundup use and a corresponding increase in Roundup resistance.

You may say that herbicide resistance can be found to exist with non-GMOs, but you cannot say that "resistance is in no way exacerbated by using GMOs". The latter is positively and obviously false.
You're free to think whatever you want. This is about interfering with other peoples' property.

Personally, I think people over-romanticize hacker culture in saying it's a key part of technological progress. Scientific advancement is a process that overwhelmingly happens purposefully, not through tinkering. It's DARPA funding defense contractors to invent TCP/IP, not some kids "learning" by breaking into other peoples' property.

The stuff Bill and Steve did--they did it because they were smart kids and could get away with it. But saying it was a necessary component of their future success is just romanticization.
There's no proof of this, just a Google+ translation of some news article.
It's obvious that $8/month for unlimited access to all TV and/or movie content ever created ever just isn't an economic reality. So, how much would you pay on-top of your $8/month Netflix subscription (assuming you have it in your country) for access to new releases? Would you pay another $8 a month? Maybe $12 so it's a round $20 total?

Would you pay $5 to rent a new movie if it could then easily be streaming through Netflix on one of eleventy kazillion devices? What would you be willing to pay?

That's what I was referring as controversy. I would never take all around supplements as a normal diet should provide everything I need. However in the case of magnesium for example, it is proven that stress/anxiety deprives the body from it, and my GP already prescribed it to me in the past.

Regarding the fact that it might not be what's written on the box, I cannot agree more, you have to trust the shop on this one.

CUSEC 2014: Don Olmstead on Gaming in the Browser
I'd love a system that required accounts and login (for moderation purposes), but then either made users anonymous to one-another, or only exposed identity on a per-thread basis (e.g. each user would get an identicon attached to each post, but it would be generated from SHA1(uid + threadid + salt), so in each new thread, your icon would change.)

So what happens if the people in charge of giving certificates, approving marketplace apps, etc. decide they don't like me and give me the boot even if my product is perfectly fine? They're human, and humans screw each other for petty reasons and out of self interest all the time.

If someone buys a computer, why do there have to be barriers from getting and using software directly from the developer? This has everything to do with milking money from developers and making users' alternative choices as difficult and unpractical as possible. It's discouraging choice and diversity.

> Patrick, in your first paragraph you admit that there are breaking changes to Rust. Yet in your second paragraph you ask for evidence of the lack of stability? Your first paragraph provides the evidence that you're looking for!

No, your first comment was saying that Rust will not stabilize this year. Your evidence is that Rust is not stable now. Of course Rust is not stable now; as I said, we're making the biggest breaking changes now so that we don't have to make them later.

> I think it'll be safe to say that Rust is headed toward stability once you've committed to not making any more breaking language or library changes, you have a separate code branch receiving only fixes, there are releases available, and at least some assurance is given that any issues that do arise will at least be investigated for a reasonably long period of time.

That's called "1.0". Which is not finalized yet, but has a target date for this year.

> We'll have to consider it a moving target, and we'll have to continue inquiring as to when it will start to stabilize.

No, you will keep doing that because you're trolling. But most people can tell the difference between "stable now" and "in the process of stabilization". We have a set of issues for the 1.0 bug tracker and triage them regularly: https://github.com/mozilla/rust/issues?direction=asc&labels=... We have also formalized an RFC process for language changes. That is a stabilization process and it is underway right now.
So I worked at Trimble Nav in the radio group, so this by no means perfect || expert on the first go:

Rough specs of something that might be respectable:

- wind & solar powered
- externally-mounted, self-contained, near zero maintenance
- compatible with deicing chemicals & equipment
- multiple redundant location sources: GPS, GLONASS, LORAN, cell-tower
- jam-resistant multi antennnae / recvr config
- highly compressed satellite telemetry with cellular, pager and HF backups
- location & alt delta every 3 minutes (12 bits +- 100m)
- absolute location & alt every 8 hours (46 bits +- 100m)
- physically hardened against several hours blunt-force phsyical damage
- (eg enough to slow down a die-grinder w/ a diamond cutoff wheel)
- pretty app similar to google earth where carrier operators can see their fleet live or in the past

Unit cost of ~$100k USD at first, getting to $35k at scale

I think this is a good thing - searching for the n-word on Github reveals a lot of static swear-word lists for filters (which are OK) [1] but also lots of rather strange choices for tests (what's up with weboob's test.py?). We as a community of open source developers have to stop and think about how the outside world perceives us.

There's already lots and lots of negative flak in regards to sexism about Silicon Valley and IT-culture, which doesn't help when the "normal" non-IT population already sees IT-people as a bunch of hateful nerds with absolutely zero social skills.

This is a good action in that it's an open signal to change things - it might not achieve much, but it's a signal.

Schmidt also owns Class B shares. I believe at the time the B shares were issued, between Brin, Page, and Schmidt they held over 50% of voting control (it was something close to 20/20/10 on voting control).

The key difference between Popcorntime and 'normal' torrents is that it's not "by the time a torrent has finished downloading" but "by the time you have finished watching the movie".

In order to use Popcorntime, you'd pretty much have to have a connection speed where downloading the movie is significantly faster than watching it (a few minutes at a reasonable speed/quality) and by the time the movie ends you have downloaded it once but uploaded many times.

And given the way the tech works, you can ignore ADSL users with restricted upload speeds and other similar groups - the total average is disproportionally influenced by high-speed users; so if for every dozen ADSL users there's a single FTTH user, then the total still works out well - 10 users with a ratio of 0.1 are equalized by a single user with a ratio of 10.

It makes me incredibly happy as an Australian with no access to a Netflix type service (because none exists here) that isn't cable television that costs over $100 per month via Foxtel to be able to stream movies.

Yes, I do feel bad for using apps like this, but I have no other legal and affordable choice. I have Fetch TV which offers movies and additional content bundled with my Internet connection, you get 30 free movies per month (usually older movies) and have to pay for newer ones which can quickly add up if you pay for a few of them.

Popcorn highlights a real problem in the entertainment industry and as someone who's looked into starting a Netflix like service in Australia, the licencing and costs associated with licences and obtaining decent content are way too expensive to even consider starting something up.

Until the situation improves for us Australians and our New Zealand neighbours amongst other countries, people will continue to use apps like this. Learn from Spotify industry heavyweights and open up your content for streaming globally via paid services like Netflix.
Both of the sites mentioned in the question allow you to view a certain number of articles every month for free, so it's pretty soft as far as paywalls go.

Also, not to sound flip, but another option is paying for the content. If you're regularly reading more than 10 NYTimes articles a month, maybe that's not such a crazy idea.
The words "crime" or "prison" don't appear in your links, so they don't support your fanciful claim without a whole bunch of extra legal reasoning that's neither yet provided nor obvious.

Are you a lawyer who's defended such cases, or a prosecutor who's charged them? Then I might trust you. I would also as credible evidence accept a reputable media report of a person imprisoned for circumventing a cookie-enforced paywall.

It's good practice to clear your cookies and switch browsers occasionally. Do so without fear of imprisonment whenever you wish.

(Also, most people here can afford the relevant site subscriptions, so that's another avenue through which they can access such submissions, when they are the best source for a story.)
I got such an email from Namecheap yesterday, and confirmed it with one click.

And unlike the intended trigger for verification ("changes to contact information"), I didn't make any changes to my domain. Either a WHOIS cloak expired, or some other action by Namecheap triggered the verification step.
I tried Homebrew on OS X, but it didn't meet my needs. I'm not a fan of having to compile a new version of GCC from source every time I want to install a new library.

Homebrew also doesn't manage OS X itself, which is something I really prefer about apt-get.

The benefit of apt-get source is being able to read the correct version of the source code of any part of the operating system to debug a problem, not necessarily building from source.
The US is lucky to have its malls. TFA mentions growth coming from Asia, where pretty much every new development - and there are a lot - is a luxury mall that positions itself as an 'integrated' destination i.e. retail, entertainment, lifestyle, office space and residential. The problem is worst in Hong Kong where MTR Corporation, which owns the underground network, also owns the land that its stations sit underneath. It makes more money from the malls it builds on top of them than from running public transit.

The luxury part is a problem too in that Chanel, Gucci etc are given free/low-cost storefronts to up the image of the mall which not only raises prices for normal tenants but means they put their goods prices up too so they look like a serious alternative to the luxury brands. Chinese malls in particular have a lot of made-up Chinese-owned store brands with foreign sounding names, selling utter rubbish at wildly inflated prices.

I wish the 'high end' here was JC Penney or Sears. And forget a reasonably priced Kung Pao chicken; I hope you enjoy chicken feet and birds nest.

I still use GitHub quite a lot, but I've started using a private installation of GitLab[1] for private projects and I quite love it. So far, I've only been using it for myself, so I'll admit I haven't really touched the collaborative features, but it does seem to have a lot of the nice features from GitHub.

I use Nightly and I hadn't noticed that, so I tried it; an alert opened:

So it does actually require a about:config tweak to enable it.
A CPU with an accumulator register (default locations that accepts the result for each instruction and is usually one of the operands in each new instruction.)

I guess that is a bit less capable than an actual stack machine like FORTH but sort of the starting point of this programming mentality (at least as I think of it.)
> Roundup-Ready GM crops are designed to survive Roundup dosing (obviously). This leads to an overall increase in Roundup use and a corresponding increase in Roundup resistance.

Right, but without roundup farmers have to use at least as much of a different set of herbicides, at different times in the crop cycle. Using roundup leads to an increase in the overall resistance to roundup and a decrease in the resistance to 2,4-D, paraquat, etc. The problem exists independently of GMOs.

>you cannot say that "resistance is in no way exacerbated by using GMOs"

Yes, I can. Resistance to Roundup is exacerbated by using Roundup-Ready GMOs, while resistance to other herbicides is decreased.
You have a weird definition of 'innate'. Socially constructed effects are still effects. You still want a mix of people that have different traits and skills, even if they have nothing to do with biology.
