Fuck the motivation. Motivation is a lazy man's approach. It takes no effort. You have to force yourself. You have to learn to force yourself. Even if you get motivation, it is temporary. Real success comes from discipline and continuous effort. Drop the idea that you need motivation - just force yourself to learn Node right now. There's no easy or lazy way to do it - you have to win over yourself.

Reason for this is that frontal cortex - part of brain responsible for your conscious actions - only finishes developing in mid 20s. You only recently finished that stage. Motivation is used in teen years, when more primitive parts of brain dominate frontal cortex. Now it's time to take matters into your own hands.

After time goes on, it get's easier and easier, and motivation comes as a result of forcing yourself to do it.
They were a temple repair company. It's steady work that hasn't changed a lot (everyone respects the temples - there are monasteries in Europe of comparable age to this company, but they were maintained by monks or "ordinary" builders), and not an easy market for outsiders to break into.

Hacking fitness and health for programmers
Hi guys. I've been experimenting with my health and physical performance for about 5-6 years, on various diets and with various training regimens. I was considering writing a few blog posts on that and structuring what I did and what effects I had. Would anyone be interested in reading something that's not about startups/programming?
Oy vey. It seems like you're using many strategies at once, so I'm not sure what results I'd expect. For me, this kind of conversation needs to take place in-person, and needs to be framed as a "yes I'll do it, but..." not a "no I won't do it unless..."

I think, big picture, if you want to salvage this client (who seems to be moving on) you might wanna just get in the same room as them and start saying yes a lot. And you want to have this conversation last, after they're already super excited about the project and ready to get started.

> Internet Protocol packets have a field for the security classification - unclassified, confidential, secret, top secret ...

I'm not sure how these would have helped contain Manning. The access-control part of this infosec failure was on a higher level (Manning's admin access crossed compartments). "Server-side" access control didn't fail, it functioned as expected. Monitoring did fail, but that's another story.

Zooming out a bit to the security bits of IP packets, that I had completely forgotten about - are those actually used/useful in this Layer 7 era? How?

I can't think of a single use case. I would expect even the sensitive/non-sensitive routing decisions to happen on a per-host/subnet basis (e.g. 30.x.x.x stuff goes through this pipe, other stuff goes through the outside-world pipe)

Plus, with software, if you find you're missing something, you download it. With hardware, you pay through the nose for FedEx and pray that the vendor offers Saturday delivery. Then you sit on your ass until tomorrow afternoon.

With software, you install updates. With hardware, you milk your device as long as you can, then throw it away. Board-level rework is rarely worth the effort.

Yes, hardware is hard.

This is more than worrysome. I googled for it and found this http://docs.mongodb.org/v2.6/core/replica-set-rollbacks/

Is this behaviour what you are referring to?

> A rollback reverts write operations on a former primary when the member rejoins its replica set after a failover. A rollback is necessary only if the primary had accepted write operations that the secondaries had not successfully replicated before the primary stepped down. When the primary rejoins the set as a secondary, it reverts, or “rolls back,” its write operations to maintain database consistency with the other members.
Maybe you are thinking that, yes, of course, there was an elite in communist China, there is one everywhere—but surely they would be different names and people from those that formed the pre-communist elite.

I'm not sure if it's that simple. Mao Zedong actually served as the Director of Propaganda for the Kuomintang. Had the civil war not happened, he was destined for senior cabinet positions, maybe even the presidency itself.

He's not alone in this either. Eight of the so called "Ten Marshals of People's Republic of China"[0] were commissioned officers in the Kuomintang. Most of the Communist elites were Kuomintang elites, so the lack of surname distribution change doesn't really surprise me.

Rust fully protects against memory errors (and data races, for that matter).

Having "unsafe" is necessary for making useful software and, in fact, it is also present in most other safe languages: Python, Java, Haskell, etc.
I've written an answer to this on this question on Quora: http://www.quora.com/Why-should-I-use-Python-over-Perl

The short version is:

Different people think differently and different languages require different thought models and as such appeal to different people. Different languages prioritize different computation models and as such are differently suited for different purposes. And lastly, different languages provide different sets of third-party libraries.

Python's main advantages over other dynamic languages are as such:

- it traded expressivity for simplicity of syntax and as such is easy to master

- out of all the dynamic languages (other than R) it is best suited for numerical calculation
Summary of the technique:

1. Surgically reconfigure amputees nerves that once controlled the arm and the hand so they are compatible with their pattern recognition scheme

2. Teach the pattern recognition system to respond to patients neural stimuli to said nerves : “We use pattern recognition algorithms to identify individual muscles that are contracting, how well they communicate with each other, and their amplitude and frequency,” Chi explained. “We take that information and translate that into actual movements within a prosthetic.”

3. Attach the robotic hands to the patient.

Yes, this is definitely possible with tags in awesome.

"tags" are an extension of "workspaces". But rather than being a one-to-one-to-one relation (one window is in one workspace and you view one workspace at a time), tags are many-to-many-to-many. A window can be present in many tags, and you can view more than one tag at a time.

Most of the time, I use tags just like "normal" workspaces.

The GPs use case may be solved in two ways using tags, either by viewing two workspaces at the same time (the other one is code tag, and the other one is switched between docs, browser, tests) or by having the code editor present in several tags.
This if obviously true, but I don't think this means we shouldn't demand openness in hardware, though.

Openness for me is first and foremost ideological, not practical, and certainly not just about the results. It's really about power, and the relationship between those who make the technology and those who are dependent on the technology.

Being dependent on proprietary technology whose continued existence is completely tied to the financial well-being of a single corporate entity is not a very good situation to be in for anybody, since it means that you are by proxy dependent on that entity and its success. Openness does not reduce dependency on technology, but it does reduce dependency on specific technology providers, and ultimately I think that's in my best interest.

Modern medicine and biology still haven't explained all about our world.

My father suffers by an unknown and unnamed skin condition which will surface periodically, causing large red and itchy swollen patches all over his body. Antihistaminic pills are effective at relieving symptoms, but of course you cannot live on the stuff for months or years. He's tried everything and was examined and followed by medical researchers for a while, but they simply couldn't find a root cause and just gave up.

He started experiencing this about 30 years ago, when he was already 35, at least once a year but often three or four times per year. Each resurgence can last weeks or months, and will eventually subside on its own. Nobody else in the family seems to be affected. The only theory we have is that someone must have started releasing some sort of new chemical in the air in the late '80s and my father's skin must be particularly sensitive to it, but it's just a wild guess.
I don't think python's syntax is icky at all and I hope you're not judging it by the looks of an obfuscation challenge.
> that depicted a couple officers locking their phones into a grounded metal box - a faraday cage

I once tried that using a metal lunchbox, with a tight fitting metal lid - the phone rang anyway.

Anyone else ever tried it?

And as a side note, be sure and turn off (or airplane mode) your phone if you do put it in an effective faraday cage, or you will rapidly drain the battery as the phone constantly tries - at full power - to find a base station.
And people prefer different coding styles. One persons "icky syntax and forced use of whitespace" is another ones preference. At the same time, you trade your freedom of whitespace expression with simplicity when you need to understand or work with code written by others.

Totally agree. A lot of technical people miss this. Sales people often (but not always) do this because they don't understand the product - they tend not to have a deep technical background. They compensate by picking up the language - most sales people spend a lot of time in conversations with other customers, product managers and technical people where a range of words are used. It lets them pick up the words, and get a shallow understanding of the concepts.

So most commonly you should just assume the sales guy is confused rather than being a tricky genius!

> Ivy league degrees are simply the best door-openers out of all the door openers you can get. Once you're in the door they're as useless as the other degrees are.

I present a counterpoint - I know someone who's a Stanford Law JD, and she's gotten quite a few doors opened (or opened wider) because of her degree. In fact, she wouldn't have made partner (smaller law firm) so fast without it.

Also many places like specific alumni because the founders or CxOs went there.

However, the skyrocketing cost of (private) higher education in general seems to reinforce your point - a 4-year degree simply isn't worth it for the Ivy-league if you factor in the price.

Several years ago I woke up with a big welt on my back, about the size of a quarter and quite tall. It didn't hurt, but it was a strange shape: hard, white, conical, with a red dot in the middle.

The next few days I woke up with itchy bumps on my skin. I thought they were mosquito bites. I became obsessive about keeping the windows closed.

Through the next few months it got worse. Huge swaths of them would appear across my arms and legs. But when I went to show them to someone, they would be gone! I discovered that they could come and go within a matter of hours.

At its worst, it would look like I was mauled by a tiger. The mosquito bites would take winding paths down my legs, following veins and arteries in spidering patterns almost like red claw marks.

I went to a doctor, and they sent me to an allergy specialist. They gave me an allergy panel, but only the pure histamine gave the bumpy itchy response. The diagnosis: chronic idiopathic urticaria. No cure. Just hope it stops happening eventually. Give it two years.

Well, it took two years to go away, but it's gone now, I think. It shows up again sometimes though, randomly, especially when I'm stressed. The worst part is that it makes it harder to notice when I have other reasons to be itchy, which I've had many: pinworms, lice, jock itch.

Fortunately no bed bugs though! That was one of our fears during this whole thing.

The general consensus seems to be that it was more readable than Perl and forced you to write more maintainable code at the right moment in history.

Today it has an abundance of libraries and enough competent developers to be hard to ignore.

To me the inconsistent naming in the standard library is a bigger flaw than the syntax, which is a matter of habit. Date and Unicode handling (the latter in both 2 and 3) follow closely after that.

Ask HN: German Universities for Masters in Computer Science
I am BS computer science with two years of development experience in Java, Python and Ruby with multiple frameworks and platforms. I am planing to study Master's but i can't afford much so Pakistan and Germany are my options. Problem with Pakistani universities is that they really didn't focus on research also option of specialization in Information Retrial or Natural Language Processing is not there so don't want to be there.
Would you recommend me to study Masters from German university keeping in mind i want to have specialization in Natural Language Processing or Information Retrial. Suggestion by universities name if any will be highly appreciated.
If there is any other university/institute where NLP and IR specialization are offered in Masters please do comment.

Is there any way to turn off window shadows in OS X? Having the main window draw shadows over neighboring windows is really ugly.
Here is what I keep thinking when I see these prosthetics.

After you train to control the arm while it's attached, can you more it around regardless of it being actually connected to your shoulder (assuming of course the sensors stay in place) and move it around like thing.
FWIW, I also have experienced a similar itch. Most of the symptoms also sound very similar (never on the face etc). Haven't had one of those for a few months, so I am not able to recollect more details about this though.

I too finally settled on trying to ignore the itch as much as possible. It lasted for only like half an hour after the showers, so I was not motivated enough to dive deep to figure out the root cause. Possible causes may include - Chemical composition of the water you use, Soap/Shampoo etc.

It was suggested to me that the borewell water that we use may be the culprit, but since we have multiple sources of water at home (well / borewell / public supply) and since I did not bother going more in depth to figure this out, no clues on this front yet. Also, I have had the same problem at least a few times in another city as well.
