It's not sleep apnea, I say snoring but it's actually a groan I do whilst making ridiculously long exhales. I have a very low breathing rate and heart rate, which plummet when sleeping.

I lost 80 lbs and it didn't lessen up at all. I've apparently being doing it since I was a child and my son occasionally does it too!

My biggest question is this: did the idea for this originate with the pun, or did they think up the great pun afterward?
It doesn't even tell you that very well. If you are losing muscle, you are likely becoming less healthy. The scale is an awful tool for measuring health.
I will, because I'm only 26. I have friends who are in their late thirties with a newborn. They'll be rapidly moving into the age where sleep becomes a problem, right when their child stops disturbing their sleep (AKA when they're at college).
I'm a software engineer at a gaming company and have never worked as an 'Automation Tester' but have worked with them on my team so I can only speak from my observations.

You will write code and are encouraged to build well designed software. However, the problems you are addressing are slightly different and there will be less emphasis on writing quality software compared to writing production code (a bit ironic). On the other hand, you may get some exposure to the codebase in which you could learn from.

Knowing a particular language is handy but that is hardly ever my concern. Your goal should be to master software design principles. You want to know what patterns will make your solution the most performant, maintainable, reusable, etc. With that in mind, pick whatever path will teach you that the fastest.

And all of those calories have been carbohydrates. So the question remains open: is it the calories or the carbs. And that is what the research in TFA is trying to answer.

If the hormonal food-partitioning theory is correct, had we increased calories 25% using fat instead of carbs, we wouldn't have an diabesity epidemic today. Instead, people would have perhaps gained a little weight and burned off a lot more using non-exercise activity thermogenesis.

A better way to achieve this would be - Detect the map params which should be trivial because embedded maps have them as get parameters. Now use the JS library to replace the embed with the map you get via the library. You can disable all the clutter as well as interactive features while doing so. And you won't break any TOS.

If you must go down the road you're on, might I suggest shipping this as an extension rather than a library. Very few developers would break TOS by using this but a lot of users might still love it!

What about calorie counting? I think the best way to lose some fat is to add up the sum of the calories of what you're eating, as the day goes by. In time, this will create an ability to know which foods are too rich and which are ok. Also, they allow management of appetite/hunger by allocating the rest of the calories for the rest of time. I personally found it much easier to eat on a budget of 1200 or 1400 calories a day than following a regime that forbids some kinds of foods or aims to make food less palatable. I lost 30 pounds that way and was able to keep my new weight in the following 5 years. I used an iPhone App for actual counting and calorie database lookups. Also, physical activities can be tracked and added up to the daily budget. If I walk for 2 hours, then I can have an extra meal, if I want to take it.

TL;DR Calorie counting makes for mindful eating and changes habits, without suffering.
Yeah, I was pretty fuzzy on what exactly the software is/does.

No kidding. If the whole damn Colorado River isn't enough to satisfy the West Coast, it will be a cold day in hell before the East shares their water.
It is controlling for variables. They are trying to determine the role of macronutrients on food partitioning and, ultimately, weight. One can argue they should have used all women instead, but I think the challenge there is women have a more varied hormonal environment due to menstruation[1], which, again, adds a variable. As I understand it, fat partitioning appears capable of change during menstruation.

Of course, then we run into a problem that the results may not apply to women. Nutrition science sucks.

Calibre makes it dead simple to manage a library of ebooks and allows you to do just about anything that can be done with them. That's the definition of a good UI. Whether it follows modern design trends is irrelevant. A UI overhaul would be a terrible idea.
That's a fair point. A lot of people track calories and fail at doing it well enough to loss weight, while others never actually try.
I am sure there were several people attached to this project who knew that decisions were being made that doomed it.

Those people may have had families or something and so weren't willing to risk their jobs in order to try to get through to the managers about how fucked the thing was.

Actually, most people don't even consider explaining to their bosses how bad things are structured. They just accept whatever box they are put in without even examining it closely. Which is a big problem. But goes back to people wanting to keep their jobs.

The thing is that structures of often so fucked, it literally puts people's jobs in jeopardy in order to fix them. For example, if a PM at one point realized that there was no actual working deliverable after X months, they probably realized it was because of some decisions a boss or another PM had made. So in order to rectify that situation, they would need to say or do something that could potentially get that person fired, or try to convince that person, either of which would mean it was likely they themselves would be fired.

Basically I think that people usually don't want to rock the boat because they are scared, and so its easy for them to say something is someone else's problem and just keep their heads down.

Comes down to politics as much as actual ability or knowledge. Hierarchies make it worse.

When you start with the decision to give millions of dollars to fucking Oracle, you can either have that boss replaced or assume the project is fucked.
So reading these findings is kind of enlightening. As a former Manager with the State of Oregon, the lines about competing priorities really resonates with me. DAS (Dept. of Administrative Services) was tasked at one point with unifying IT and related services throughout the state, which basically forced them to look at the state as one entire enterprise. Good in theory, not so good in practice. I think what has proven to be true, is that each Agency has very different needs and wants with regards to IT and projects that fall into that realm.

The report goes on to mention that "the project seemed to lack a consistent, cohesive enterprise approach to managing the project." This sounds like DAS wrote this. It goes on to say, "The focus was on establishing an enterprise solution for the exchange and for the DHS Modernization project.". Again it sounds like DAS wrote this.

A key component (I think) that screwed the process was not keying vendor payment to deliverables, well and paying time & materials only. Fucking unbelievable. If I had been involved in this project, I would have gone on record in the beginning as against this setup and I would have considered it doomed to fail.

It's interesting that they put together an RFP for a Systems Integrator and during the open question process "Carolyn Lawson said that she called potential system integrators and was told that they were not interested in bidding due to the lack of clear requirements and the limited budget (the state requested $96M, but was only funded $48)" So no potential bidders would bid on this fiasco.
true, thanks for the feedback! I agree it is hard to understand the product simply from looking at the first page, we have an about page at http://www.homeroom.me/about and screenshots at https://angel.co/homeroom, but we'll definitely create some sort of video or demo where we can show teachers how exactly the website is used.
Ask yourself: who has access to lots of teachers?

You should get in touch with teachers' unions, Boards of Education, and classroom supply stores. If there's some way you can partner with textbook companies, that might also be an indirect path to users.

You should also check out Q&A sites or forums that have sections for educators to ask one another questions. There may even be teachers looking for you, and they might be congregating there.
"Finally, Good Science to Study Diet"
No, it really isn't. "Sugar" is not a poison. "A very large dose of sugar" is a poison. It's a very important distinction. Small or moderate amounts of sugar do not cause problems, and in fact give the organism more energy to work with. If you take the position that the substance is a poison simply because it's possible to hurt yourself if you take ridiculous amounts of it, then the term 'poison' becomes meaningless. Everything then becomes a poison, and it's then completely redundant to label something a poison.

Besides, sugar is the primary fuel for your brain; without sugar, we don't exist. It's a funny sort of poison that is necessary for our existence.
Of course eating at a calorie deficit will work for everyone if your only goal is 'lose weight'. If you actually want to be healthy it's more complicated than that.

> The government doesn't help; it hinders, by subsidies, protective tariffs, and other distortions of the market. These policies help certain politically connected groups (mainly large agribusinesses), but they hurt consumers overall.

This is so true. In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy there were plenty of gasoline shortages around NY; but the price did not significantly go up. If the stations were able to charge $9 or $10 a gallon, and the government didn't interfere, you can bet that companies/drivers would have been more than willing to import gasoline from other states. Why sell it in Ohio for $4, when you can sell it in NY for $10. Within a day or two, rather than the close to a week it took for normalcy to be restored; there would have been plentiful gasoline if you wanted it enough to pay.

Instead we had stupidity like even and odd days in some counties, and long lines when a station happened to have gas.
I could see where the intention might come from. The buttons relate to search functionality, and there's binoculars in the background.

While I have worked with two recruiters who rose to the level of honorary members of the human race, by and large, there is a reason they are called "pimps" on Wall Street. More recruiters have screwed me out of work than have gotten me work. Most of them are less ethical than used car salesmen. They will spam your CV all over creation hoping for a bite from a fish, and they get preposterous payoffs for "knowing" you. They almost never listen, they provide little value to any of the parties concerned, and I am looking forward to the day when this job role is obsoleted by software.

Failure?

No, it's a success -- at putting money into campaign contributor pockets, and proving that "government doesn't work".

Now take something like the California death registration system (https://ca.edrs.us/edrs/secureLogin), which, since it was developed by a mere handful of state employees (on-shore, of course) on a modest budget and runs on a single Linux server, completely failed to accomplish those financial and propaganda goals for the corporate 1%-ers. :-)

If stupid, greedy, people run with the project, it's doomed whether you slap "public" or "private" on the work.
> In a C library such callbacks cannot be inlined as it is compiled ahead of time.

C compilers can do that with whole-program optimization:

1. Clone the function taking the callback, and set that parameter constant so the value of the callback is known.

2. Change the indirect calls to direct calls.

3. Inline the new direct calls.

Of course, the library has to be statically linked, but that's not a problem for scientific users.

Remember, if you optimize something yourself, just make friends with a compiler engineer and get them to add it!

Have you considered that what you eat might make a difference to your psychology?
Calorie counting is more than balancing a budget of calories over the length of a day.

It creates an ability to discriminate about foods and portion types - how many calories in an apple, a slice of bread, a cup of milk-coffee or a beer? I know all of these because I have slowly learned them over the course of months. It does make a change when you go shopping and when you pick the size of your portion.

Also, it allows for intelligent management of cravings. For example, you have 500 calories left, and it's 16:00. You could eat a slice of pizza and that would be it. But you could also eat two slices of bread with cheese (250) and in the evening have a moderate snack of 250. You see, that's how you can play chess with your hunger. You can plan ahead, you can use your intelligence in a domain that was governed by blind impulse before.

You don't need to refrain from any type of food - you just have to couny it. Want french fries with steak while on a diet? Want some pizza? It's ok, but it's going to cost you. A beer (0.5l) is 180 calories - maybe some mineral water would be ok instead of the beer? But you can still have the beer, just have to eat less pizza. The fact that you can eat anything makes the regime more humane.

That's just something I deduced from my own experience.

TL;DR In time, better tracking and better planning become internalised and when you do stop counting, you're left with a bunch of good habits about eating that will protect you for the rest of your life.
If I drink a litre of water in one sitting, I feel queasy and unwell. This is "the illness of a living organism". I've done it before on hot days - it's not like it's hard to drink a litre, most people can do it easily. I have been poisoned by water, using that definition, but most would say that using the term that way is needlessly pedantic.

Are you aware that just like the body regulates sugar, it also regulates water? The body tries to maintain the right level of water, and it's easy to show: drink a lot. In short order, you'll be pissing a lot, to get rid of the excess water. People that have their ability to regulate water inhibited also show a lot of illnesses as a result - in terms of demographics, this can be seen in cultures where women aren't allowed to go to the toilet during the day. Sugar doesn't get magical, unique treatment in biology - water even has its own organ system that is primarily devoted to managing water content. And if you want to get socio-political about it (unsure why this means it's a poison...), we're also addicted to water and nations go to war over fresh water supplies... something that is pretty rare for corn or cane fields.

The point is that labeling sugar as a poison is being simplistic, and the picture is far more complex than that when discussing diet.

I don't understand the weird obsession with Git. Its a version control system not the cure for cancer. Anytime someone shoe-horns it into a product they talk about how Git is so amazing and solves all these problems, but what they are really talking about is just a version control system, not Git specifically.

Using Git for just about anything other than what it was built for is a terrible idea. I mean the underlying system is incredibly powerful and could be useful in various projects, but the interface is horrific. I swear its like someone tried to make Git as difficult as possible to use. Programmers have a hard time understanding and using Git, non-programmers will just laugh and walk away. Every time a programmer has an issue with Git, whoever helps them has to sit down and explain the underlying system for 20 minutes and draw a bunch of sticks and bubbles. Non-programmers will never put up with this.

Having seen these contracts in action on a smaller scale, time and materials works great if there is continuous delivery. If you're not getting value for your money, you can identify it earlier and cut your losses.

If you do a firm fixed price contract, the contractor takes on all the risk and will charge a much higher price to compensate. You'll also spend a lot more time and energy on writing bulletproof contracts because the stakes are so much higher. Worse, you'll need to do contract negotiations for every requirements change.

It's possible to make either work, though. I don't think using a different contract type would have fixed the root problem here.

The Yoga 2 and Yoga Pro are very good, cost effective, but a little bit heavier than the MS Surface Pro 3. The thing with the Surface Pro 3 is that it isn't a "laptop" it is a tablet with a keyboard, I like the keyboard for what it is, but I would never code full time on it (or use it as my only PC).

The MBA is wonderful, really just wonderful, I have nothing but good things to say about it as a small light laptop. It is a little expensive but the touchpad is darn good and the keyboard is also a pleasure.

I'd strongly suggest you head down to Best Buy. They have the Yoga 2, Surface Pro 3, AND MBA. So all three of your core options. Get a feel for the weight and the trade-offs.

PS - I own a Surface Pro 3, it is good, but it is ultimately a tablet that can run x86-64 applications, and even with the kickstand it isn't as usable as a "real" laptop. Plus the dock is super expensive in its own right.

PPS - Given your list and your requirements I suspect you'll get the MBA. It is the "boring" option but something can be said for just getting something which will simply work and is popular enough so you'll get good driver support on Ubuntu.
