Like I said, there are a lot of reasons for backlash. I didn't even touch on most of them.

I disagree that their goal is "Sports conditioning training". Because this is not consistent with their who their clientele is. Their vast majority of their clientele is average people, with no prior lifting experience, who have heard of it.

> Being rich is an inner value?

Being successful is, and being rich is one of the markers for success. I had problems with this view as well until it was explained to me from a woman's perspective. The operating assumption being, as I said earlier, that men and women use different heuristics to do preliminary mate filtering. By and large, you get through the filter by being beautiful as a woman, and by projecting success as a man. The argument goes that beauty has absolutely nothing to do with inner values, while success does (false positives not withstanding).

Then again, there might be a huge cultural component to this. I come from Germany, which has the most unapologetically darwinistic dating scene I ever experienced. German girls are by and large no-nonsense, goal-oriented, and not prone to poetic whimsy.

> One could say that, 'in a very real sense, men love you for who you are (how is how you look not part of "who you are"?)

Hey, the darker part of my epiphany story is actually up to that conversation I had believed finding a mate was about finding a partner that matches your inner essence, finding someone who recognizes the "real you". So I had dismissed both success and beauty as meaningless, because they tell you nothing about that essence. Again, I was very young at that point and had a lot of misconceptions.
Maybe it just tells shaggy dog stories?

Staying friends with someone who you're romantically attracted to is a recipe for resentment (at least for many people). It might just be better to cut contact all together. Of course, then you might be in the uncomfortable position that people assume that you were only interested in her because you wanted to have sex with her and, 'failing' at that, you didn't want to have anything to do with her.

Ironically, it is when men aren't one-dimensional (which I think is must of us) that leads to these kind of situations, which leads to people thinking that they were just out after sex to begin with.
So, first trends indicate that it will be rejected with 70 percent no votes.

One reason that has been handed around to explain the no votes is that people do not want more regulation and think that this minimum wage would hurt more than it would help. Also: A large portion of people (90%+) already earn more than this minimum wage.

It now looks like it is going to be rejected with 77% of the vote. Quite a statement.

Actually, the very basics of carpentry are the things you use to put together the IKEA desks!

No, seriously. IKEA didn't have a store open around here when I was a kid; some of the less pretentious furniture in my parents' house was made by my father, and since I was a kid, he had no choice but to need my assistance. Putting wooden things together with screws based on drawings was literally the first thing I learned about carpentry, just before sawing and all that.

The fact that it's so easy should be no surprise. Patching together some stuff in BASIC is exactly as easy.

Yeah, it's fucking disgusting that today's "personal computers" are such impersonally cluttered, patchy, uselessly complex designs that even experienced programmers can barely wield them.

I think one of the reasons ARM doesn't really want to provide instruction timings is because it sells IP cores, not hardware. Others who integrate ARM cores may make changes to the design that mean their instruction timings will be different, whereas Intel designs and manufacturers the CPUs themselves.
I personally believe that the title is quite misleading. Although factually correct, it kind of makes it sound like a much bigger deal than it actually is. If I give you 10 fabrics to choose from and 10 button styles, I am offering you a 100 different shirts that way. The problem is that other than 1 or 2 button styles, others would look way too ugly. So, even though this is highly subjective, for the most part of it, looks like almost all of the combinations, from within a billion are not really feasible, and you really won't count 2 shirts with a slightly different inner cuff fabric as two different shirts. Right now, they have two pocket styles. If they were to add 3 more pocket styles (triangle cut, round cut, with or without button), then they have jacked up their shirt collection to 3 billion.

I am not just nitpicking on the number. The problem is that the customization isn't any great than what you would get a local shop. When I saw the title, I thought I would be able to design the fabric itself via combinations. That is what would result in really unique shirts for me, at least to the extent to what is implied by the title.

What the title really needs to imply is "customizable shirts" and that is something that is still amazing to me, and is great and something I would pay for.
Yeah, what you described wasn't exactly a problem of yours. You seem fine with your sleeping habits. The silly point I was trying to make was that you have a sleep cycle issue parents to small kids rarely experience.

Also, unfortunately a lot of PUA stuff seems to revolve around convincing men that there is an objective standard of beauty in women that all other men are chasing too, and structuring their interaction with women in ways that stop their personal judgement from diverging from that consensus.
I wouldn't be surprised if drug legalization would increase drug use right at the beginning, but it certainly didn't have such a long term effect in Portugal

It should be noted that we decriminalized them, not legalized them. The results shouldn't be naively extrapolated to an hypothetical legalization.
Well, in the actual package name, you can't include hyphens. I presume they're talking, then, about the directory name, which would have to differ from the actual package name, and that's a no-no. Their reasoning may be wrong, but the rule is still correct.
There's no 'moral' right or wrong either way - both are biological indicators.

Women often look for men who can provide for their children, and who are capable of producing sexually successful offspring. In violent climates, physically strong men are valued more than financially strong men as that's what's required to protect offspring.

Men often look for women who are fertile and healthy.

In both cases, market value is simply a partner who's capable of carrying on one's genes.

Is this supposed to be novel concepts to me, things that I have "problems" with? I am questioning the assumption that being rich is wholly a matter of will and inner values, I am not questioning what women like or dislike.

"I had problems with this view as well until ..." - I don't have "issues" or hang-ups with this opinion, neither is it too hard for me to understand.
The evolution of visual effects
I was interested by the choice of the Casio watch as a "great product". While they are certainly iconic watches that have survived the test of time, the user-friendliness of the alarm functionality is extremely dubious to me - three completely unmarked buttons that do stuff while somewhat cryptic symbols appear on the display, all dependent on what order the buttons are pressed.

My wife used to have one of these watches and frequently would accidentally set an alarm for some random time (usually 4am) and have absolutely no idea how to stop this happening. (I don't know if it had a manual or whether she ever read it, but she certainly hasn't read her iPhone's manual and doesn't struggle to set alarms with that.)
The problem with cross fit is they treat pasty cube dwellers like athletes, and they get injured often and badly as a result.

The average person is pretty clueless about this stuff and doesn't necessarily get that dead lifts and kettleball swings can screw up their backs. That's what a coach/trainer is supposed to do.
That sounds pretty hostile, and I think you might have misunderstood what I was trying to say.
(Note: I don't do CrossFit, and I'm not looking to defend CrossFit)

Of the whole article, I found that point the weakest. The author hasn't been to every CrossFit gym out there, so I don't know how he can claim "every single thing that I’ve posted in this article refers to EVERY SINGLE GYM THAT FOLLOWS CROSSFIT"
One of the big problems with Crossfit is there's absolutely no consistency between locations. Anyone with a grand and a weekend to spare can become a Crossfit instructor.

So, if you're lucky, you get an instructor that really knows what they're doing. If you're not, you get somebody that programs dangerous lifts in and gives them to people that don't know any better and expect their instructor to know what is or isn't safe.
What you glossed over was the 'model for change' part and the implications that follow from there.

It's a shame that it's not being said more clearly and explicitly in the post; but that 'model for change' implies immutable/persistent data structures and all that comes along with that.

The foundational assumption that data is never deleted or updated but just garbage collected does really change a lot.

Essentially (I'm hoping!) they're just saying: let's build another Smalltalk but with persistent data structures and reactive programming instead of Smalltalk's MVC model.

But yeah; it does sound like they need to study the Smalltalk ecosystem a bit better to figure out that apart from those two things Smalltalk did already do pretty much everything they want to be doing here; or find a marketing angle that's less off putting to those that know Smalltalk well...
'Coders' who knows.

Programmers are definitely worth it, if you spend $10K on a programmer to build a system who writes a system that makes a process that used to take 3 people 2 days and now takes 1 person an afternoon to complete then the RoI is clear (the last system I put into production actually saved that amount of time).

Silicon Valley and the start-up scene grossly distorts the whole argument because of the insane salaries paid to developers on "It's facesmash right..but for dachshunds".

Outside of the reality distortion field, there are thousands (if not millions) of developers building unsexy workmanlike products that supply a need for a business and reduces costs by more than they cost to develop.

My "startup" is not sexy, I don't care about j-curves, accelerators, user trends or anything else, it is simply a well engineered (hopefully!) solution to a regulatory requirement for a specific industry, in theory I can reduce several days worth of tedious and error prone paperwork to an hour at most and make it an intrinsic part of the company and project.

When it comes to hiring I won't by hiring "coders", I'll be hiring programmers.

Now get off my lawn ;).
This seems like a silly title. Switzerland is already an expensive country to live in, so the minimum wage has to be pretty high compared to other places.

I read that too, but saying 'this applies everywhere' without any supporting arguments doesn't come off as a particularly strong position.
Kettlebell swings are generally bad but Deadlifts are considered fundamentals also in the BB area.

Explosive Deadlifts are bad, that's for sure specially with high weights, but well slow executed deadlifts are one of the best exercise to strengthen all your body and improve his hormonal response. That's why in a good gym the trainers focus very very very hard on teaching the correct execution ROM before allow you to even start to increase the weights.
I wish environments like that supported something like 'run with..' option that would allow for the entry of arguments which would be fed to the script.

I know it's not a big deal to get data another way, but it'd allow for the following of a tutorial like Learn Python the Hard Way totally in-browser.
Solid advice, though I would suggest that learning how to properly deadlift is totally worth it. It's easier than other olympic lifts to do at your local chain gym, and there's no better way to make all of the muscles in the posterior of your entire body to feel worn out in 15 minutes.

Definitely mind the rep range in any olympic lift though. I've read it's common for form to break down after the 5-10 rep range, and only the lightest warm up sets should be beyond that range while your working sets are 1-5 reps.
You totally forgot about this thing called "profit." Higher wages requires lower profits which is a good thing because it increases purchasing power. It also incentivises companies to invest in new technology to reduce labour costs.

E.g. Copenhagen has cool driverless subway trains. But the rest of the world doesn't.

As a former athlete I like the direction CrossFit took even though I have similar complaints to the article. I try not to paint all CrossFits as the same. I know a few that are exceptionally well run. I like that CrossFit got people away from the 1980's muscle-mag workouts--isolation exercises, i.e. everyone training like Arnold.
I think the design of his Curve25519 elliptic curve assumes 25-bit integers implemented using floating point arithmetic and requires them for maximum performance. I certainly haven't seen any fast integer-only implementations of it.
Reminds me of something similar I did about 20 years ago as a new and lowly employee in an HR department. Said department was part of a larger organisation which of course kept everything centrally on huge mainframes, access to said mainframe being allowed in the regional office by means of a green-screen terminal connected to a dedicated line.

While the mainframe was of course the ultimate authority of what was what, for everyone, our local department just wanted to do some basic employee management on the then new wave of Windows 3.1-based softwares running on local PCs.

But how to populate the PC data? Obviously retyping it was the only possible way, and I was hired literally to do that and nothing else for a month. First thing I said, naturally, was "why not just export it from the mainframe?"

Not possible, I was assured. The mainframe was a secure device for storing secure data and no talk of exporting would ever get through the layers of bureaucracy. The mainframe terminal had no disc drive or local storage, being a thoroughly secure device with a secure connection through the secure floorboards. And anyway, I was hired as a typist so would I please get on with it for the next month, which was how long they had estimated would be required.

An hour later the job was done - with no retyping at all, thank you very much.

How? Well, I'll admit to feeling rather too pleased with myself for knowing that the terminal's attached dot matrix printer was not the only device that could speak RS232. Connected the secure terminal to an entirely not secure PC, and printed everything I wanted straight to disc. Edited the captured file in Wordstar and fairly quickly had a CSV-type file that went straight into the standalone software.

Although I'd effectively instantly put myself out of a job, they were good enough to keep me around. I ended up staying for years.
All of their pictures are of unnaturally thin midsections. How about showing us what the shirts look like on regular men. I don't know anyone in person with the kind of physique they show the shirts on.

Also, they are all stripes/plaids with conservative "dress shirt" styling.. How about some floral designs, "hawaiian" patterns, bright and contrasting colors?

I'm one of those middle aged, enlarged midsection, (hairy) tech guys who likes to wear bright hawaiian style shirts to work that they claim to be targeting. There was nothing to interest me on their site.

Instead it looks like their market is 21 year old body builders who are going into stereo system sales.
What I'd really like to see is a sample of how they managed minutes for their brainstorming sessions, and the same for the final design document, because I always on the look for how people can capture this kind of complex information in a way that is also useful to share with others (that weren't present during the discussion of the features).

Anyone knows where/if this is available somewhere online?

The vote doesn't make sense. If the Swiss people vote yes, the constitution will be updated with a law that the minimum wage per hour is 22 Swiss Francs. This is meaningless, considering that the constitution should be designed to hold for centuries. What are 22 Swiss francs in 100 years?
I don't know what you mean. Cross fit undoubtedly has pretty good equipment compared to a globo-gym, but globo-gyms will have everything you need 99% of the time. A squat rack, a bench, and some barbells...Places to do pull-ups, dips, a huge array of dumbbells....

It also isn't hard to find gyms with bumper plates that are powerlifting/oly friendly, or specialized gyms that have whatever your in to (rock climbinb gyms exist, etc)... You just have to do your research
The reason HyperCard couldn't support applications that advanced wasn't due to its concept or scope, but that Apple never really supported it well, and the last real major update to it came in 1990, before the internet exploded. HyperCard actually had decent support for AppleTalk networking (I wrote some network games and a network email client/server system in HyperCard as a kid, all solely over AppleTalk). I'm convinced that if Apple kept supporting HyperCard that it would support TCP/IP and anything else required to be competitive.

The common knowledge about why Apple never supported HyperCard whole-heartedly is that they didn't know what it was - it wasn't a programming environment, it wasn't a database, it wasn't a paint program, it wasn't a multimedia environment. Yet it was still all of the above.

> * I personally, like the author of this post, don't do deadlifts and rarely do kettlebell swings. I am not a professional athlete or trainer, but I really primarily only heard of people getting hurt with these workouts, so I chose to avoid them. Sounds like this was a good decision. There are substitute workouts for each.

I absolutely would not do deadlifts within the context of Crossfit. It's an exercise best suited for very low reps at high weights, and proper form cannot be ignored. Sane novice programs will often only hit deadlifts once a week for a single set of five. Either way, it has to be approached systematically and intentionally trained - it's not well suited to being randomly thrown into a workout, especially if it's done under time pressure or at high reps.

That said, done properly and with proper attention given to form, it's not only a completely safe exercise, it's also one of the single most effective exercises out there. It engages a huge range of muscle groups and is very easy to increase load over time. While form is critical, it's also one of the easier compound lifts to do correctly.

I'm not trying to say that everyone absolutely must to do deadlifts or anything. I'm just saying there's no reason to be afraid of them. It's a great exercise, and I'm saying that as somebody that found deadlifts to be the single most effective exercise when recovering from a lower back injury, which is the part that seems to scare most people.
The writer talks about Hemingway, he should learn from Hemingway to express himself in less words. Hemingway learned from news reporting.

I personally know people that writes professionally, including Nobel prices in Spanish literature(I organized writers meetings, specially promising young people with already famous ones). Most of them do not believe writing is hard.

In fact I remember Francisco Umbral being asked about it, how he could write something everyday for the newspaper. He said it was extremely easy, you could always find something interesting if you think about it.

Thinking writing is hard is a self fulfillment prophecy.

About working hard, coders do not do all the work, that is the question. Most of the work is done by a machine, the computer, like current coal miners, they use machines for doing 95% of the work, from drilling holes for explosives to removing material.

They(the miners) also earn lots of money, and breathing issues are improved with machines too(full masks). The reason the retired at 40(with full pension) in places like Spain.

So working hard is not that important anymore, when machines are the ones who work hard. Those do not suffer or feel bad or exhausted.

Some people believe that work for being worth something needs tears, sweat and blood. Martyr psychology.
