I like to keep a running TODO list in a vim buffer or in OSX's notes app, or evernote. I check off every little thing that I do. As things come to mind I add them to the list. This keeps me from getting overwhelmed. Once I finish something the next step is clear. Go to the TODO list and choose the next item.

The thing is Manhattan has a very similar dynamic to San Francisco. Rent control has artificially reduced the supply of Manhattan real-estate which has most definitely helped drive the overall cost way up. Ironically in order to protect poorer residents, Manhattan has effectively driven the middle class out of the city.
To me, the most mathematically logical way to split up the calendar would have just been something like:

01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12
31 30 31 30 31 30 30 31 30 31 30 30 -- common year
31 30 31 30 31 30 30 31 30 31 30 31 -- leap year

- All months 30 or 31.

- Leap month alternates between 30 and 31.

- Never have more than two consecutive months with the same day.

- Only time two consecutive months have the same number of days are Jun/Jul (30) and (Jan/Dec (31) or Nov/Dec (30)).

- Puts leap month at the end to avoid offsetting only part of the year.

- Any given 3-month span consists of either 91 or 92 days.

- Any given 6-month span consists of either 182 or 183 days, except for spans involving leap month and January, which have 184.

- First half (Jan-Jun) always consists of 183. Second half consists of 183 (leap) or 182 (common).
I'm a customer of Gnip's - they provider several enrichments and data normalizations on top of Twitter's stream. Could Twitter have hired X engineers and duplicated what Gnip does? Perhaps - but Gnip also has an existing customer base, existing revenue flow, infrastructure setup to handle customers creating their own matching rules etc.

There's more to Gnip than just re-selling the Twitter firehose.

The housing figure I used was for PITI (all-in). Obviously the T and I will vary by jurisdiction. But feel free to call realtors in e.g. Atlanta, Cincinnati (median price: $110k) or Jacksonville, FL (median price: $120k) to confirm that an all-in number of $1400 or substantially below is reasonable for a single-family house. (I know a number of people who pay < $1000/mo to own 3+BR houses in the city limits of Atlanta. Again, that's all-in, counting all the non-utilities expenses you think I'm leaving out.)

Student loan payments will largely be made during years in which most people will not have two kids and a brand-new car. While I wouldn't begrudge anyone the choice to do both at the same time, they're obviously going to hurt a bit or push out hitting the seven-figure mark a few years. Plus, you doubled the student loan debt but didn't allow any increase in living expenses for having a second wage-earner in the HH or account for the second wage-earner's savings.

Point I'm making is the math isn't that far off, if one chooses to live anywhere outside the most expensive real estate hotspots in the country.
The vulnerability was first found by a fuzzer, which would have worked equally well on closed-source software. And I believe the fuzz tester (part of Codenomicon's "Defensics") is also closed-source.
I'd highly recommend that you research "Flow": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology). There's a great book by Csíkszentmihályi on the topic also called "Flow".

Honestly? No.

I did wonder why each of the 12 months got their specific amount of days, sure. I even wondered it about the special one, February, individually. But wondered it about December individually? No.
I've respected the HN community for a long time. This was a place where ideas could be shared and unlike many sites that were just an echo-chamber for a particular point of view, things were debated here on a much higher, respectful level. Lately, however, if you don't 'fit' a particular worldview, comments are down voted instead of being debated.

Case in point. Here a company has provided insight into why they don't believe their product fits with the freemium model. This is so against dogma and current ideology that it's being down voted not on its merits but on the audacity to have a different opinion.

> Letting incumbents under-utilize valuable real estate is a bad policy.

If the value of the property increases, there is incentive for owners to sell. If a developer wants to "utilize valuable real estate," is it not better that they make an offer and that people have choice in what happens to their property, rather forcing out "incumbents" with no choice due to escalating tax costs?

Buying a house with potentially wild inflation of tax costs is about as attractive as buying a house with a variable APR.
Top 3 Musts For Timeless Home Designs 
Spending time and money on your home is important because home is where you go to relax and unwind after a hard day’s work. For most of us, 1/3 of our lives will be spent in this space, so time and money spent here can be a great investment. However, spending time and money on your home and hating it a year later is NOT a great investment. For this reason, timeless home design principles should serve as the foundation of any home decor.

It looks interesting, but not enough for me to login, yet.

You need to add a few screen shots, demos, etc., to show me why I should consider this instead of Huboard or Trello (you don't need to compare yourself to these, just have some simple workflows with the free tool to make it clear why pintask is better).

Also, while it is "free for life" you should "respect" current conventions for sites like this: You need a pricing link, a page on which you reinforce that basic functionality is free, and that extensions are what people buy. People are used to those conventions, it makes it easier for them to absorb your message without forcing them to think too much, without violating their expectations in a current website.

Speaking of this, I should be able to browse the extension store without logging in. Also, pricing needs to tell me if the extension price is per user per month, per project per month, per enterprise per month, etc. If those prices are per enterprise, they seem like good deals, but if they are per user, they start adding up so fast that free seems more like a playground gateway drug than anything else.

Finally, enterprise customers WANT to pay for your basic service: They want to give you their money to guarantee uptime, have a number to call, etc.

(Personal irritant: You may require cookies to get something done, but not to browse - the page loads blank when cookies are disabled (I used a cookie manager; I'm in the minority there, but I'm the kind of user you want early on :->).

tl;dr: Looks good, too little there to incite me to actually take the action. Don't go overboard, though, you're almost there.
I wrote my thoughts up on this subject a while ago here: http://martinrue.com/posts/6/what-is-the-zone-anyway. I make the case for 'the zone' being a state that comes from really thinking about what you're doing and simply knowing how to start (and continue).

> in fact, domestic partnerships by that time in California were done deal and had the same status with regard to all law and benefits as marriage.

They couldn't have. The federal government does not recognize civil unions, and many of the benefits of marriage come in through federal law. Even with that corner of DOMA being repealed, a state can still effectively cut people off from the vast majority of marriage benefits simply by offering only "civil unions" and not true marriage.

Your misunderstanding of this point is exactly what I was getting at with the post above - one characteristic that is inextricably linked to things like the Prop 8 debate is that a huge percentage of people taking part in it simply don't understand the basic facts of the situation.

No! You are likely confusing it with best-first-search. A* is an implementation of best-first-search, not breadth-first-search.

Breadth-first-search does not prune a search space; it just sorts the search space based on depth. It also assumes the cost of every path is equal.

Example: Finding the shortest road between two cities.

With breadth-first-search, we would consider all connected cities, and then the cities they are connected to, until we reach our destination. We would end up with a route, that travels through the least amount of cities, irregardless of the lengths of the actual roads. We would get the most simple route not the shortest route nor the fastest route.

Feature: calculating using actual costs

To get the shortest route we need to be able to annotate road-length (as cost) in our graph. Using that information we can choose to expand shorter routes before we dive into the longer routes. We might expand A -> B -> C before A -> D because the cummulative road-length of A -> B -> C might be less than the direct road between A -> D. For this to happen we would constantly sort our working set, based on the calculated cost.

As soon as a completed route (to the destination) is at the top of our working set, we can stop and deliver the answer.

Optimization: Pruning

Now, this working set, gets larger with every iteration. If we were to search for the shortest route from A -> D and the answer would be 100 miles, than the working set will contain all routes from A to anywhere, that are less than a 100 miles.

This is very expensive in terms of memory and time: we need to prune the search space. Now, our working set is already sorted based on cost. So we can safely remove every route that ends in the same place as a route above it in the working set. In other words, if A -> B -> C is higher in the working set than A -> D -> C, than we remove A -> D -> C. We simply don't have to expand routes from the same origin twice.

Optimization: using a lower bound

If the costs are truly unpredictable, and we want a perfect answer, this is the best we can do. But costs are rarely unpredictable! Can we provide a lower bound? Sure! Let's use the geospatial distance between two cities. No road is shorter, than the actual distance between the cities.

In this scenario, the costs of our working-set would be calculated as the actual costs of the partial route plus the lower bound. So, the cost of A -> B -> C would be calculated as the actual road length from A upto C plus the distance from C to the destination.

Now this impacts the sorting of the working set. Which is why it is so important it is a lower bound and not an estimate. Because as soon a completed route is at the top of our working-set we call it quits, and deliver the answer.

In a nutshell: A* is a best-first-search that is capable of utilizing a lower bound to sort the search space. It's behavior is far removed from breadth-first-search.

It's very difficult to get "in the zone," if you're not working on something that is inherently meaningful to you. You could move bricks all day, work 8 hours straight, and become the best brick mover around, but I doubt you'd consider yourself locked in during that time. Your mind is probably wandering to other topics of interest; distracting you from the actual task.

If you want to get in the zone: find a meaningful task, or allow the given task to take on meaning for you.

In my experience, the secret is highly correlated to the preparation that I do before the work even begins.

What this means is practicing a daily combination of correct eating, rigorous exercise and quality sleep. With these elements in harmony and alignment, I am able to bring it.

I've heard this guy on NPR and other radio programs promoting his book. While I find the subject fascinating I get distracted by his marketing buzzspeak and branding. Specifically that he dubs his concept "Flow" when it's been more commonly known as "in the zone" for decades. I could come to no reasoning other than his need for a new brandable term. Not a big deal I guess, but overall undermined the work to me.

Having read the book is there something I'm missing in that guess?
If I were you (trak.io) I would take down that blog post now. It's for your own good. It's bad PR, very bad PR.

While breadth-first search and Dijkstra's have a lot in common, Dijkstra's is a priority first search which is inherently sequential, whereas there is some parallelism to be had in BFS since you can check the neighbors of your frontier concurrently given a data structure with which it is efficient to do so.
In this particular case, the bit about IDS isn't that ground breaking, it's just that the IDS checks for the malformed heartbeat request at the start of a packet, so instead he sends it at the end of a packet, namely appending it to the SSL handshake request.

The median worker's wages have been essentially stagnant since 1970:
http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2013/01/13/opinion/13green...

Moreover, inflation has been uneven: food (including in restaurants) and electronics have plummeted, but the costs of education and healthcare have skyrocketed, and housing has skyrocketed in areas with good job opportunities. It's easy to cut back on new electronics and restaurants, but a lot harder to cut back on housing and healthcare. Cutting back in education gets your stuck in a poverty trap.

So things don't necessarily look so bright for the median worker, especially after 6 years of persistently high unemployment.

I can't dig up a source for that part right now, but it's out there in the CPI statistics.
