The technique I now use is my own fork of a technique that comes out of the chiropractic professional called Neuro Emotional Technique.

I'm a little reticent to talk much about it here, because hey everyone knows chiropractors are all charlatans right? :) Actually I kinda do too, but this technique is pretty powerful, and several very skeptical, conventionally-minded people I know have tried it out and found it very beneficial.

Things like meditation, mindfulness and hypnosis can be very effective for some people, but where they don't yield results, NET can offer answers.

If you want to know more about the science of how this stuff works, I recommend a book called The Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton, a former Stanford researcher in cell biology who observed the way cell health responds to environmental (including emotional) stimuli.

The basis of the approach is that most of our core behavioral traits are somehow "hard-coded" into our minds at an early age - as the saying goes, "give me the child up to the age of 7, and I'll give you the man". Some of these traits may be linked to early life traumas or unhealthy value systems picked up from parents or other influential people, and some of them may lead to self-sabotaging behaviour in later life. To fundamentally change behaviour after this age is difficult, unless you can use one of these techniques to deprogram the undesirable beliefs and replace them with healthier ones.

I've also seen my rate of improvement increase since I started doing a form of yoga called kundalini. It seems to be very effective at strengthening the core and lower back, which makes a big difference to overall health.
No source code, but I bet this implements Rigan Ap-Apsid's algorithm: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.96....

By "implements" I mean interprets Ap-Apsids sometimes vague explanation. Ap-Apsid's paper looks good, but when you get into the details, you can see multiple ways of doing some things, and no way of doing others.

Also this algorithm and the specific API are shockingly easy to fool. http://stratigery.com/bediger/50.jpg totall fools it, and isn't even vaguely human-colored, much less human.

Not only that, but many of these setups trade an ergonomic chair for a hard floor. I'm surprised that more consideration does not go into floor mats as seen in other jobs requiring long periods of standing.
I was in the same position: Moto G or something similar.. but lots of reviewers complained about battery life..

The technical analysis pinpointing the attack to the Chinese government was definitely not blurry. TTL based tracing is very deterministic and easy to understand, and finding the injection point to be at the same spot with the Great Firewall is pretty much the closest thing to a smoking gun with regards to Interner attacks.

Of course, while the smoking gun was found from Chinese Internet censorship offices and was covered with fingerprints of Chinese Internet censorship officials, it still might be not perpetrated by the Chinese Internet censorship officials. It is only very likely that they were behind the attack.

In 1994, we used to joke that XFS was a write-only filesystem. The early version was less than stellar. SGI pretty quickly solved the worst issues. It sure was nice not having to wait for 6 hours for a Challenge XL to fsck.

Well, they couldn't take down Github.
When will they release one with a hardware keyboard? This would be worth buying.
Additionally, at least with Vanguard, if you have a lot of money invested you get access to funds with lower costs. For example, for $3,000-$10,000 you can VFINX which costs 0.17%, but if you have more than $10,00 invested you can buy VFIAX, which costs 0.05%. For $5M and up, you can buy VINIXm which costs 0.04%.
> I really do not understand why people continue to act shocked or surprised about this.

Because they grew out of their teenage angst:

>> You expect the government to use secret surveillance and disinformation campaigns against a wartime enemy. You probably don't expect the government to use secret surveillance and disinformation campaigns in court against its own citizens.

> Why wouldn't you expect that?

Because these aren't the values we want to uphold in our public discourses. As a society we all think our leaders, our chiefs, our representatives are good people acting for the common good. This is what we want as `a people`. What we think we should strive for.

Of course we are not there (yet). But complete relative cynicism about the state of things is not going to make it happen either.

Edit: The use of the verb `expect` here is clearly not meant to be `they are all idiots who believe anything the gubment tell them`. Sheesh.
This matches exactly with my experience with bouldering or climbing. Well explained nlawalker!
It would've been interesting if they had made the 301 point back to Baidu.
SQLite works great as the database engine for most low to medium traffic websites (which is to say, most websites). The amount of web traffic that SQLite can handle depends on how heavily the website uses its database.

I am curious to know how many people here solely use SQLite to power the back-end of their web application(s), especially when the page states, "SQLite does not compete with client/server databases."

(Or is the page referring to content-management-system-type websites?)
What about cluster analysis of whole time series (which are of differing lengths)? Is that meaningful?

MP3 players were available long before the iPod. Apple has a pretty good track record of turning niche markets into mainstream ones - I'll be interested to see if they can do it with the smartwatch category.
I was 8 years old and my family rarely drank soda. I went from having a diet coke occasionally to occasionally having a regular coke, ginger ale, root beer, etc... So I don't recollect changing my periodic intake of caffeine.

I didn't do a thorough study of it... and I recognize that the logic that aspartame was a trigger could be wrong. But when you find something that appears to work and later hear of others who identified the same potential trigger and fix, then you start to believe it may be true. Personally I don't think there have been sufficient studies to show a connection or not. But people who have seizures shouldn't rule it out.

Presently gym daily but only for 5-10 minutes. I've been alternating doing the weight machines (heavy, only a few reps) and walking uphill at about 6 kmh on a running machine. Modest eating - the odd omelette / burger. Seems to be going quite well - losing weight, gaining muscle, low hassle/suffering.

Fungus-infected schools: I am so much smarter when I can breathe!

Not kidding; from experience.

There are a number of studies showing the physical activity and good nutrition improve school performance. You can start here for nutrition studies (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18336680); the citations are also informative, as usual.

Pretending there is no inborn ability gap is unnecessary when we have conclusively demonstrated that we can create gaps through environment. (Just put a poor kid in a rich school and their performance goes up dramatically, and put a middle-class kid in a poor school and their performance goes down.) It is irresponsible and not scientifically or rationally defensible to just throw up your hands and say poor kids are born dumb, so it's reasonable to have a 62% high school graduation rate in DC and an 85% rate in Massachusetts [1]. Average stats are a fine place to start to identify blatant differences in outcome. We're not at the point where inborn ability is making a big difference, honestly.

I'm using it for the data catalog for one of my projects (a Linux backup tool) which I've grown to something like 20GB, and storing the metadata catalog for 40 systems and about 30 backup sets for each one.

So far the main issues I've been having is I have a lot of complex joins, and it doesn't seem to want to use appropriate indexes all the time. If I'm joining 2 tables on an indexed field, it is ok, but as soon as I add a 3rd or 4th table the performance falls apart. So my current workaround is to join 2 tables into a temporary table, add an index, then join that temp table to a 3rd one.
I see this book lauded on HN frequently. Would it be interesting/understandable for someone who doesn't have a CS background but has an interest in CS?
Is easy for exercise to focus to fast/soon in goals like become stronger or lose calories.

The first goal is just "go to class". Be able to form a routine. Don't get crazy and not worry with other goals until the body is in shape (and routine) to it.

But probably because your are more concerned in the health you already know this ;)

This is a very simple one to ramp-up:

Eat well. I'm in Colombia, so is far easier than in the US (get raw food is just a 1min walk in most areas of the city!). I think also get crazy and do a too fast switch is wrong. Living here, we never thought "We must buy organic!, Not processed food!". Good food is what we already have. Don't worry about it until the US culture get widespread in this area.

So, also not worry too hard about calories. Get normal food, not processed, and think about it as a normal thing. From what I hear from people that live in USA the food thing is probably the hardest to pull off...

Use a standing desk. Not be standing all the day! I use a fatigue mat:

and a bar chair (to sit without move the desk). I lift the keyboard mouse on top of my speakers (they are squared) and put a pice of wood on top of it. So with ingenuity you can setup one...

Think like put a small table on top of the desk, and put everything there...
On the contrary, the earlier AWS can let you know they're working on a general kind of thing, the better you can plan your own roadmap.
My LG L5 used to average 2 days before the battery started going crap. I am not an especially heavy user though.
You said you stopped observing red lights after two stays in the hospital. The reason why you stopped following the rules is irrelevant; the question is: are you following the rules?

For the record, I often ride bicycles in Paris, rain or shine, and until now, never had to be hospitalized for it. Maybe your cycling abilities are sub-par?

Also for the record, as I said, I ride a motorbike, which is very different from a moped, rendering your link irrelevant; all motorbikes have a four-stroke engine, and modern ones also have a catalytic converter (including mine).

Modern scooters in Paris, while not motorbikes, also have four-stroke engines and catalytic converters; "mopeds" are mostly found in Italian movies from the sixties.

All in all, it appears you don't quite know what you're talking about.
Why don't we find and reward the best teachers while promoting socioeconomic integration in school systems? (As suggested by the article.) It's a little disingenuous to think that we have to go to one of those two extremes in order to have positive outcomes.

I don't get your point. Did I write that performance and power is not related?
Give your back a few days to adjust to the change. First days might hurt a bit. After that you'll begin to feel your back muscles strengthen. Its worth it IMHO. Possibly get a motorized sitting/standing desk so you can shift postures.

How about ad fill rates? I'm not directly involved in add ops myself, but I've heard that now, even in 2015, major web properties still see a roughly 60% drop in ad revenue on HTTPS. Thats a big deal for an advertising supported website. (Though obviously not so much a big deal for a website like this selling an Ubuntu cell phone).
Measurement is a tricky problem. You wouldn't measure efficiency in various human languages by testing using people who don't know the language. Similarly we would need to use people who have a basic competency (at least) in the same computing language being tested.

But then you still need to adjust for skill levels, and that seems a bit circular.

I think we're far from being able to measure this accurately.

Well, I think working in the small kitchen or on the bed where you sleep is not the best option. I saw photo of one startup office from the last YC batch "office".

It's pretty cool to click on the link and be able to run a ray tracer on your phone. Maybe more exciting because you get the drama of it taking a couple seconds to render.

Ironic that compute has come so far yet real time movie quality graphics are still only a dream.

We have GPU based ray tracing, and if you stuff a 44u rack full of them it becomes more tolerable, but still nothing approaching 24fps for complex scenes and effects,

This has a lot to do with the content being more complex compared to say, what was done for a movie like Tron. But it's more than that. How many other problem domains could eat 5 orders of magnitude of performance increases and easily make use of it for everyday consumer applications? That still might not even be enough to get us out of the uncanny valley.
Does anyone have the LIFT from iSketer (http://iskelter.com/products/desks/lift-upgrade-desk-standin...)? It seems like a nice balance between a standing and sitting desk -- especially with a laptop plus external keyboard/mouse/monitor when standing.

I generally prefer to use a laptop on a recliner with their SlateGo lapdesk which keeps the laptop at a comfortable angle without straining the neck or wrists.
The real difference in the US is the presence of a substantial number of schools that are instead on the school-to-prison-or-army pipeline. The "high-potential" students are encouraged to join the armed forces, while the kids who have caused trouble are piped into our for-profit incarceration system. I don't see that so much in Asia.

As for education vs training, that's a great question. A lot of my students want training initially because they are concerned about their economic futures.
> Many of those kids in poor schools are smarter than you think,

When you say something like this it comes off as pretty antagonistic, unless you're about to explain out where specifically someone has said or implied anything about a students intelligence.
Much further from the reality. The US has huge flaws and gaping failures with these matters, but still compared to China it is objectively way less authoritan, and has a much better track record with respecting free speech and human rights.
Also, this is a SOLVED problem. A quick search on Google, or on gitHub, or in various programming books will result in code to solve Fibonacci in any language of your choice. I would wager to guess that most developers had a hard time solving problems in this sort of environment because its not the actual way most of us work. My ideal technical interview as a candidate would be for me to be presented with an intermediate level problem that your company is facing right now. Provide me with a laptop that includes all the tools I would have on the job. If the team is big on collaboration let the candidate know where you will be, either in person or via a chat, in case the candidate has any questions. And then leave them the hell alone. Ideally this should be around an hour so time is not wasted on both ends.

Interviewing candidates is hard. I know because I've done it before. It's much easier to have a boilerplate CS 201 problem that you give to every candidate vs tailoring the interview to each candidate each time. However, I've hired some of the smartest people I know based on this tailored, specific to the business, approach. Most of the candidates I helped hire were still at the company when I left.

If you do boilerplate CS questions you'll get either students right out of CS programs that have these concepts fresh in their minds or people that have been unemployed for a while who have brushed up on their algorithm skills via Cracking the Coding Interview. Maybe these are the types of people you want because they might be cheaper? Most of the software work I've done in the past 7 years has been taking existing frameworks, libraries, systems and adding in some custom logic. Maybe that custom logic becomes a new library on its own and maybe not. You know what's more important to me than the ability to solve Fibonacci? Do you write clean, documented code? What is your ideal software development methodology and can you ship code in that environment? Do you test? Are you a dick or not? What does your gitHub account look like?

Software development employment isn't college. The hiring process shouldn't be a "hazing" as others have stated. I recently had an interview where I as the candidate partially spaced out a problem that was similar to Fibonacci (duh on my part). However, at the end of it the interviewer I think recognized the situation and said "We are all a team here and we help each other out. I'm OK if you are a little weak on generic algorithms in this situation because you know things I'm weak on." That was a good experience and hopefully I'll get a chance to be on that team.

Overall, I'm guessing most companies out there aren't trying to solve "Google" like problems. We should stop interviewing like we are.

In fact it is not uncommon for me to use both Dapper and EF on the same project. Usually I'll use Dapper for the query/reporting side and EF for the domain model/update side. (Used to use nHibernate, but it seems to have really stagnated unfortunately)
I am not a lawyer, but I have yet to speak to a lawyer who claimed you could not distribute a Linux kernel module under an "incompatible" license when the said module is not considered a derived work of GPL software. Any Linux port of ZFS is a derived work of OpenSolaris (in the legal sense), such that you can distribute ZFS with Linux as long as it is a separate kernel module. There are plenty of companies doing this. I have spoken to lawyers regarding this and I have yet to meet a lawyer who disagrees when asked if the GPL applies to a Linux ZFS kernel module. To be honest, I did encounter one attorney who thought that certain forms of advertising might be able to trigger the derived works clause, but he considered it to be an avoidable problem and his opinion was an outlier.
But people who have seizures shouldn't rule it out.

People that have any symptoms that correlate with consumption of foods shouldn't rule out anything a priori.

Depending on the severity of the symptom and their desire to eat certain foods, they may want to experimentally narrow down the trigger. I guess I would not be inclined to eat artificial sweeteners in an attempt to see if they triggered a seizure.
