I have to say that for someone starting to transition to .net, this is a great post. Posts like these are what I expect from the Ruby/Python/Node/PHP communities but the lack of them and lack of good learning opportunities had made me hesitant to use .net in the past.
Thanks a lot, you've just made me feel a whole lot better about the .net community as a whole.
Trello is not a collaborative document editor
Wow, that is uncanny, in 2012, at a former employer, that was our joke for btrfs right before we switched to xfs with Ceph for our OpenStack product. We still had problems that appeared to be locks between xfs above and below Ceph, but nothing catastrophic like the customer problems with btfs where we knew the data had been written, but recover was not reasonable.

I'm doing something similar and it's worked out very well. After 10 years of different types of eating habits, I'm starting to think "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" is a myth.
Makefiles, once you have learned the syntax, are very simple to write, as they can be naturally decomposed into individual steps, and rules are easily generalized for similar file types.

Their reputation has been tarnished by autotools, but in that case you're using autotools as your build system, not make.
When I started with make, I copied working files to a safe place, copied from the safe place to a scratch place, tweaked the scratch, got it working, etc., etc. Managing the make file was itself part of managing the project.

Then I read and thoroughly grokked the O'Reilly book on make (which some douche stole from my desk; twenty plus years on, I am still bitter about that one... ...don't miss the Tannenbaum OS book or the Stevens networking books, but the make book, it burns, it burns....)

After that all I wrote all of my make files from scratch. Doing so made sure I understood my project, its dependencies, etc., and made sure I wasn't going to accidentally corrupt a build with some edge case from another one.

make is super straightforward once you get how it works. Sort of like git rebase, I suppose (still working on that one... :->).
While the opposite of your suggestion, the side by side editor -> preview (like Atom has) is so elegant to me.
Don't misunderstand me, I can see your point, and it would be a feature I might want to use in some cases.

But apart from the data and tech you need people implementing it, and I can understand most companies not seeing covering your/our case as worty of the added development/maintenance cost that it would entail.
I wonder how hard it would be to take down the Great Firewall? I'd imagine that may cause some consternation within the ruling party.
Nice!

I'm curious to know if you could get those front inside legs out of the way without sacrificing support. Maybe rig it so that they go across and connect to each other, forming a keyboard tray or shelf or something. I see a lot of toe hitting, especially while wearing those flip-flops in the corner.

Also, don't forget the standing mat. You wouldn't want her to get varicose veins now, would you?

I was wondering about the solution to this very problem. I, personally, like the approach of markdown and live-updated rendered HTML side-by-side with toolbar buttons for markup, the approach that MarkdownPad[1] takes.

Probably deliberate with a lot of incompetence mixed in.

Most politicians have zero understanding of the Internet. They decided to do this as a demonstration of force and may not have consulted the people who built the Great Cannon. Or, the people who built it don't have the clout to say not to use it except for important reasons.

They also probably didn't realize that Github could eat the attack.

The problem with having done this is that, I suspect, that a lot of ISP's now have null routes of China on standby along with bandwidth monitors that will choke traffic spikes from China almost immediately.

So, it didn't actually succeed. And people have now analyzed the attack and deployed coutermeasures.

Not a great result for China.

The non-stable version isn't too bad; the current stable one is quite dated for certain.

Additionally, the development version correctly handles VBR MP3s instead of the "stable" one which inaccurately estimates song lengths (ie, a 3.5 minute song is seen as 14 minutes long in the "stable" version).

But for playing MP3s from a list it's great!

If I wanted to manage my iPad with it, do backups, buy music, AirPlay videos, watch videos, rate my music (I already own it, why would I need to rate it?), stream radio stations, copy photos to/from my devices etc. etc. etc. then it isn't so great. That's what iTunes is - a bloated piece of software that is no longer just a music player. You call it capable, I call it bloated :-)
I'm much more interested in his comments on recording than on broadcasting. I love old recordings: Rachmaninov, Fritz Kreisler, Eugene Ysaÿe, all excite me to hear. But the part that really fascinates me is to see my daughters listening with enjoyment and understanding to a recording of someone who was born 180 years before them. I'm often not a fan of the effects technology has on our lives, but that's a real joy.

Entity Framework isn't really similar to any of the things I listed. I tried to only include components you might use as part of a larger system, rather than technology stack choices.

Dapper distills the converting database rows to objects. It's a micro ORM, which means it doesn't try to abstract SQL like a monolithic ORM (NHibernate, EntityFramework) would do. Example:

public TagModel GetTag(long id)
{
using (var conn = m_connector.GetConnection())
{
return conn.Query<TagModel>("SELECT TOP 1 * FROM Tags WHERE Id = @Id", new { Id = id }).FirstOrDefault();
}
}

This seems expensive for what you get. I made a $25 table from Ikea parts to put on top of my work desk. I cut the pipes to the right length. It works just fine and I get storage under the table.

I too will use a recliner at home sometimes, to rest the back. I use a Corbusier knockoff (something like this: http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0278/9057/products/black_le...), slid under a work desk, with the laptop and mouse on a board on my lap, and a monitor on the desk.
Any business can look into https traffic, and if you don't have that ability, then you either don't care about half your traffic, or you don't know what you're doing/have the proper tools.

Wood is in no way nostalgic.

It's very practical, relatively cheap, reasonably strong, easy to process, and easy to recycle. For instance, IKEA which is well-known for its expressly inexpensive and minimalist furniture offers a lot of wooden furniture, kids toys, etc.

Also, every day I take a few NYC subway trains. Each car has its electric power collector mounted on a wooden plank. This is probably done because of practical reasons (wood is cheap, strong, and is a good electric insulator), not nostalgic.
Ah I just want a player. I already manage my music - that's what the directories are for. Additional metadata about the albums stored a database isn't going to improve the music for me.

I'll add my own to the many already good posts.

1. Change my diet. No sugar, low-carb and high-fat. Avoid fast-food and processed food. I eat a lot of vegetables. This change alone made me feel better and I got a lot more lean.
2. Extra D-vitamin. I found it helps my mood, motivation and general energy levels especially during the winter.
3. Moderate exercise. Martial arts and some strength training on the side. I bought a TRX and I try to go to the gym, but generally I exercise at home. I also walk to school.
4. Don't skip on sleep.

Generally the best advice I could give is to eat well and do some exercise.
AVFS surely is as susceptible to OEM hardware design as Intel's Turbo solution. They're both doing the same thing, stepping up/down performance in response to thermal conditions and thread counts.

The only slight advantage to AMD is that that can be a little more fine grained, but still a crappy thermal design from an OEM is still going to result in a chip that is throttling itself, just like we're seeing with Intel. We might end up closer to the optimal balancing point with AMD, but it's still going to be wildly different performance from manufacturer to manufacturer.

The post doesn't mention price. You can get a really nice desk for the house which adjusts to various heights from IKEA for $480 + fees. So... if this thing is in the $300-400 range... idk if it is worth the effort / lack of features.

Rebranding Your Business
Weight training and running on and off for years. But. Mostly on my own and I could never stick with it. About 8 months ago I started going to crossfit and it's been life changing. I go between 5-10 hrs/wk. I'm in the best shape of my life, my lifts are heavier than I ever imagined (501 lb deadlift) and I love it. The class and social structure is perfect and United Barbell is right at the 4th st Caltrain location so it's super convenient.

I think this article is a great reference for others wanting to write a small informational or how-to post. It's concise and easy to follow for those who are familiar with the subject while including enough details for beginners.

Back to the subject, I would also be interested to know a way to print out the value of a variable every time it changed in the course of a make system's execution.
Having twice as many legs as a normal desk and splaying them out leaves less usable room. There is less space to put my feet when used as a standing desk or put a PC tower or subwoofer or space heater or trash can. It's more difficult to vacuum/sweep around. I'm not sure a Roomba would fit between the legs.
You probably charge your phone everyday though, and I know my dad never sleeps with his watch on his wrist and isn't the only one with this habbit. So why couldn't you charge your watch every night ? Also, charging your apple watch is probably going to be wireless in the coming years, so it'll be as easy as setting it on your night stand before going to bed.

As for the battery, I have no idea how the hardware is set up, but it's the same for many many watches? Don't you have to change the battery every (few) year(s)? I'm obviously not talking about the fancy Rolex style mechanisms that power the watch using your wrist's kinetic energy

.. I still don't see it this way. My post wasn't meant to be an attack on OP, rather I wanted to expand some points about chip performance that seemed to me weren't clear. The post I'm quoting however did read uncharitable to me.

I use a Jawbone band which buzzes me if I've been sitting still for 30 minutes, and then I try to find some excuse to walk around for a few minutes.

I don't think activity bands have really yet been designed around preventing health problems associated with sitting all day, most just count daily totals. The Up band and the Vivofit were the only two that seemed to give you here-and-now information about inactivity, and it's a bit disappointing that other companies don't seem to be doing much to improve things in that area.

> I don't personally relate to people who already own a smart watch (to me a pebble watch is geekery for the sake of geekery).

I'd argue Pebble (specifically, the Pebble Steel) is the opposite of your impression.

It's life altering (lets you leave other electronics in your pocket or bag and manage notifications w/o geeky hard interruptions). It's practical (week+ long battery so you can wear it 24/7). It's not particularly more expensive than other digital watches with brushed stainless steel cases and leather bands. It is not recognized on the street as a "smart watch".
Or a doorstopper.

I'm about to live the dream: leaving an in-house, menial technical position with an overbearing manager for a developer role with better pay, hours, management, benefits, everything.

I'll probably just tell my current employers that "It's been a great opportunity but this makes sense for me..." blah blah blah.

But of course part of me would like to go out, guns blazing, or just push the envelope to see how much I could get away with , George Constanza style, as a bit of a kiss off.

Anyone have a tale along these lines they'd like to share?

-Just so I don't seem too bitter... One member of the C-suite would publicly humiliate me every chance he got by awkwardly - and persistently - asking me to bow to him, which, because I'm junior, I did for the first two or three times until I stiffened my backbone and told him no.

He thought it was hilarious.

Graphene looking promising for future spintronic devices
I'm 45 and have tried a number of different things. Here's what's made the most difference for me:

- Sitting desk but use TimeOut to remind myself to stand every 30 minutes. I tried standing and treadmill desks but they didn't work for me.

- Paleo/keto diet. I have much more energy and my bloodwork's improved.

- 5x5 Strong Lifts

- 16/8 intermittent fasting

- Get enough sleep. This and diet are ridiculously important.

- Fun hobby! I get up at 4:30am to write and I love it (most mornings).

Try things and see what works for you. Experiment. It always sucks in the beginning, but it's hugely worth the effort.

I've been using Callr for almost a month now, after it was mentioned by a friend who helped build the service. Since I have 2-4 conference calls per day, with different bridge lines and access codes (and some where I'm host, some where I'm guest), I thought the service wouldn't be able to cope with the complexity.

But after a couple support requests, I have things set up now to the point where Callr calls me about 30 seconds before any regular meeting I'm in is scheduled to begin, without fail.

It's a very nice service, and I'm amazed that it can parse out the information from all my calendar events.

The one thing that it can't really help with at this point is getting data about meeting invites that are spur-of-the-moment (e.g. someone invites me to a meeting that starts in 10 minutes). Since Callr pampers me by not requiring me to do any dialing, it's annoying to have to pull out my phone and dial in to those meetings manually.
I wonder why you'd need a specific chipset to have an RTC alarm. Couldn't it be added on the board independently? After having so many Nokias, I'm still amazed how so many phones miss what should be a basic feature.

Truth is, the whole Fusion Middleware stack is... not very hard to compromise, even without resorting to password-cracking. Product-specific knowledge is often enough to retrieve plaintext credentials from a number of products. The whole Oracle ecosystem is like that -- SQLDeveloper's passwords can also be retrieved very easily.

The unspeakable truth is, in most enterprise companies, the ability to retrieve a lost password (when the original employee is on holiday/was fired/stepped under a bus) is more valued than the ability to secure it.

We always talk about security theatre like it only happens at airports, but I see lots of it in regular companies as well.
