I did an Ironman last year, but it was probably not the best use of time and money as triathlon races (especially those sponsored by Ironman) are not inexpensive and end up being more like mini-vacations than weekend races. I enjoyed doing it for the sake of trying it and having a sense of accomplish at the end of the day.

If looking healthy is your primary goal, I think strength training + cardio is much more time efficient than cardio (like triathlons) alone. Now I'm focusing on surfing in the mornings when the conditions are good and lifting (mainly bench/squat/deadlift) otherwise. If you aren't familiar with these lifts, scheduling time with a trainer helps prevent you from missing workouts while ensuring you aren't doing yourself harm. Occasionally I'll play volleyball and I'm hoping to get back in climbing as well.

Playing team sports is also a great motivator for doing cardio. Its much easier to run when you're committed to doing it with your friends and letting them down can be worse than letting yourself down.

Also never drive if you can help it. If its less than 2 miles, walk. If its less than 5 miles, ride a bike. You'll save a ton of money in the process as well.

Aside from the above, plenty of rest (9+ hours a night) and eat healthy (sort of).
Will Humans Ever Live 200 Years?
I tried Starting Strength a few years ago. I was really pumped about the program, but I had a lot of trouble with it. I read the how-to sections multiple times, watched Rippetoe videos, and even sought out a trainer at one point. No matter what, the exercises always felt awkward and I never felt like I was doing them correctly.

I tried power cleaning a few times I simply didn't get it. It made me feel like a complete doofus.

When I deadlifted, I was able to lift less than a 12 year old girl.

Squat was the worst. I got up to about 235 (not counting the bar). I know this isn't a large amount, but it totally killed me. Just so brutally tough. I had some knee pain that flared up around that point and my elbows hurt all the time. Once after finishing a set, I was drenched in sweat and I felt nauseous for about 10 minutes. Another time, I felt the left side of my face go numb for a split second... I realized then that it wasn't for me.
regarding older people and strength training, I know far more men in their 40’s—50’s who are physically fit than I do men in their 20’s.

I think Crossfit is the new mid-life buying-a-Porsche.

Again, I don't understand how you got your reading. If something is the function of something else that means that the function is singular, not that the function only takes a singular argument. Obviously there are more things that are a function of heat than just clock speed so the op was wrong in that sense. That's the sort of mistake I make in revision all the time so I overlooked it. But even taking it literally it doesn't actually hurt the point the op was trying to make.
So what’s the solution? We need a great artificial intelligence effort to comb through our information, assess the urgency and relevance, and use a deep knowledge of who we are and what we think is important to deliver the right notifications at the right time.

I believe the answer to this question is far, far simpler. The problem started in the second paragraph.

... MLB.com At Bat apparently deemed this important enough to broadcast to hundreds of thousand of users who had earlier clicked, with hardly a second thought, on a dialogue box asking if they wanted to receive notifications from Major League Baseball.

MLB.com decided nothing. They asked if they could send messages. The author decided that anything MLB.com At Bat wanted to send him was important enough to interrupt, as he puts it, "enduring a meeting, playing basketball, presenting to a book club, daydreaming, watching a movie, enjoying a family meal, painting their masterpiece, proposing marriage, interviewing a job candidate, having sex, ...".

"MLB.com At Bat would like to send you notifications (Yes / No)" is pretty clear and to the point. They want to message you. If you want to be messaged, click yes. Sure, app operators can be reckless and bad citizens, but the ultimate control is in your hands. That last push notification giving you permission-granting-remorse? It's trivial to disable notifications on a per-app basis, or even restrict them to something non-intrusive.

There is no notification alert crisis. Apple and the other smart watch makers are not releasing wrist-mounted spam machines. You will be able to choose who you trust to interrupt you, and you will have decently granular controls over how these notifications present themselves. It is up to you to decide who to trust with the ability to grab your attention at any moment. If you place that trust poorly you have the ability to revoke that grant at any time.

Personally I feel like I have a lot of control over how distracting my mobile device is. I only allow alerts from Hangouts, iMessage, Slack, AlienBlue, and whatever turn-based game I'm playing at the moment. These are apps where I'm interacting with another human, where the notification will probably get me to interact with the individual. I restrict or deny notification permissions for every other app. Rarely do I press "Yes" to the request for notifications. When I do, at the first breach of trust that app gets permissions removed. Uber is a good example, I granted notifications thinking it would be nice to not watch the map when waiting for a car. Uber took the opportunity to send me a push advertisement for some weekend rate thing, so now Uber can never message me for anything. Map watching isn't very onerous, still better than waiting for a cab to show up, so I'll deal.

Intel Curie Module: Unleashing Wearable Device Innovation
Funny you mentioned that this is a meme to you, while it is really a technical consideration to me, and I supplied some details about my concerns.

Answers following your numbering:

(1) Calling S3 "this week's fashionable data store" is like saying that an elephant is an interesting microbe. The rest of your points about "please do not innovate, we have filesystems for 40 years and this is how you store your data". I do not agree. Disclaimer, I was member of the team that moved amazon.com from using an NFS based storage to S3. It was a great success, and it solved many of our problems including dealing with the insane amount of issues that was introduced by running an NFS cluster at that scale. And I would like to emphasize on scale, because your operational problems are quite often increase worse than linear with you scale.

I know about legacy code, and running several legacy services in production as of now. I can tell you one thing. There is a point when it is not financially viable to keep rolling with the legacy code. This point is very different based on your actual use case, banks tend to run "legacy code" while web2.0 companies tend to innovate and replace systems with a faster peace. I don't see any conflict here. We even did a compatibility layer for the new solution and it was possible to run your legacy code using the new system and your software was untouched.

(2) Nested directories is a logical layer on the top of how the data is stored, aka a view, your are a distributed FS developer so I guess you understand that. S3 also supports nested directories no biggie here.
Security. Well this is kind of weird because last time I checked S3 had an extensive security http://aws.amazon.com/s3/faqs/#security_anchor
Now the rest of your question can be re-phrased: "I am used to X why isn't there X with this new thing???" I am not sure how many of the file system users use SElinux my educated guess is that roughly around 1-10%. It is a very complex system that not too many companies invest using. For our use cases the fine grained ACLs were good enough so we are using those. File system durability: yes it is very important, this why I was kind of shocked about this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/317781/...

I guess you are right about the overhead of reading and writing, dealing with http headers etc. If the systems that benefit the most from S3 where single node systems it would be silly to use S3 at the first place. We are talking about 1000 - 10000 computers using the same data storage layer. And you can tell me if I am wrong but if you would like to access the same files on these nodes using a FS than you are going to end up with a locking hell. This is why modern software that is IO heavy moved away from in-place edits towards the "lock free" data access. Look at the implementation of Kafka log files or how Aeron writes files. This is exactly the same schematics how use use S3. Accident? ;)

I would like to repeat my original question: I don't see huge market for a distributed FS. I might be wrong, but this is how I see it.

IoT Developers Say Security Is Their Top Concern
On Android you can set up the phone to send the GV number as your caller-ID. So when calling Lyft they should see your GV number, which will never get associated with anyone else.

EDIT: As Someone1234 points out, however, caller-ID might be irrelevant, and having GV might not help. Another reason to be very selective about what apps you install.

With .NET going open source, I'd like to see what is out there for web services. Are there any linux-compatible .NET web servers/routers that I can use that have a similar feature set and performance to the Spray/Scala stack? C# or F#, but preferably F#. I've tried a couple (suave, nancy), but some simple benchmarks showed they were about half as scalable as spray.

I was hoping they'd simply not have anything listed.
You know, I don't think that management made such a call is rare or unique to NASA, and I don't think that such a call cost lives is even that rare.

The problem is that the decision wasn't "push a button and kill a half dozen people", it was "launch and maybe have a problem or not launch and definitely waste X billion dollars and Y man-centuries of time". And we're terrible at those decisions. We - as individuals and organizations - are terrible at eating the sunk costs and paying definite to avoid maybe-catastrophes. Maybe sometimes it's rational but a lot of the time it isn't.

And it's not just "management". All of us make these kinds of decisions when we ignore bugs to meet deadlines or push a feature that isn't really working just because we spent so much time on it.

Remember to remove Chinese CAs from the Trust Stores in the OS and browser. Unfortunately this is not very easy in some cases. And next update might add them back again. We really need better Trust Store management as a user. We should be allowed to define what CAs _we_ trust.

I guess it's a semantic disagreement but I would still call this a bug. If they considered this use-case when they designed the system and then decided it was not worth designing for then I suppose it is not a bug, but I find it hard to believe that is the case.
They do. Notifications are opt-in on an app-by-app basis. Each app has to ask you for permission to send notifications, and you can change your preferences in the Settings app later.
Can anybody speak to their experience using sqlite for data analysis purposes?

Primarily for people in the UK, the Park Run events (www.parkrun.org.uk) are well worth a go. It's an free, organised 5km run every Saturday morning at 9am. You can track your progress online. The turnout at events across the UK is typically very good (hundreds at each event each week).
It does not imply that, it implies misdirection.
The best quality of life change I ever made was turning off email notifications. I just have have the numeric counter on, and check it every so often like I always did anyway. I only have notifications for things that people expect quicker replies to like texts, calls, voicemails, etc.
This seems deeply confusing, and possibly deeply confused. Something that has arrows coming in and going out we call an object. We call the arrows morphisms. Every "a" in (+) :: Num a => a -> a -> a has an arrow going in and/or coming out. It seems unhelpful to say "plus composes functions".
I don't think, practically, we could expect anything positive from the other side. But still thanks.

Vanguard has a total US stock market fund for institutional investors, with a minimum investment of $200M, that has an expense ration of 2 basis points (.02%) The FTSE world ex US fund is 10 basis points and a $100M minimum.

At $57B and $27B invested respectively I imagine the city could negotiate an even better deal if it was going to put all the money in each category into a single fund.

That said, the author of the linked article does have a point. The expense numbers on the public market side don't look outlandish when expressed as an expense ratio rather than a ten year total number.
I think Lyft login/auth would require you to be able to _receive_ messages sent to that number.
As a word processor, typing out some code, or as a spreadsheet machine, yes, it was perfectly serviceable.

It worked with very little of the modern web, however.
Who is we? :)

I always like the basics, but seeing as everyone follows different "Agile" (with a capital A) principles, I guess that the basics is not really a clearly defined set of things. I like good discussion of testing and test driven development, continuous integration and delivery, working with legacy code bases and legacy management structures, DevOps, paired programming, sizing and story writing... my list could go on and on.

The issue you may run into is that this is a pretty saturated market. There are a LOT of people who write about Agile (myself being one of them). Some are really great and have interesting insights and real experience, some are really abhorrent. Watch which category you fall into.
This is 100% incorrect. In fact, there is a much higher risk of injury lowering a power clean under control, especially if you're going heavier.

That's not to say that you won't benefit from working with a weight where it is possible to control when lowering, but there's a lot to be said for power cleaning a higher amount and dropping upon completion of the rep.
Sounds like you merely need to inform the bank of the charges on your credit card and let them know that you made an effort to contact the company. Contact the credit card issuer to reverse the charges. Lucky for you you didn't use a debit card then you would have had a real problem.

False and false.

The article linked complaints that traditional legal interception means do not work. Those are the ones where they nicely ask the cellular providers for the data. It's not about "stingray like devices", it's about sending a letter and getting the data. End-to-end encryption protects against that, be it iMessage or BBM.

Prism collects data directly from companies that participate, and Apple has said they do not have access to iMessages contents. There was some speculation about courts being able to force Apple to abuse their authority as the iMessage certificate swapper, but I've seen no evidence or convincing argument for that to be the case.

Xkeyscore does not collect any data, but searches it.
This^ is actually where my concern was.

Specifically:

> While in this case, we're getting less code in the dependency, I'm highly suspicious of how their working knowledge, method of code organization, etc... can be transferred over time.
I don't see it like that. Large claims require large proof, that's all I see in the comment. Shocking numbers need more investigation, and need a big grain of salt, but that is still taking the result as weak support of causality, not a counter to it.

I think you're reading "skepticism" as "the opposite is likely" and I'm reading it as "assign low weight".

I've never seen this, but I think IRC would be the de-facto alternate to these "hip" communities.

In the end, you will go where you can benefit most, so if paying $5 bucks a month gets you speaking to smarter people, folks will do it.

I still think IRC is the place you go to for tech-talk (sadly everyone has ended up on Freenode though).

So many comments and not even one mention of joints but at least 5 mentions of 5x5.

5x5 and "Starting Strength" are pretty fucking horrible suggestions for an older guy who has been sitting at his desk for 20 years. If you're a beginner, you WILL damage your joints starting with these programs. 5 sets of 5 reps with heavy weights is very nearly the worst thing you can do. Please do not follow this advice. I learned all of these lessons the hard way, but you don't have to.

* If you want to start strength training, start with 20 reps for at least a year.

* If you can't do 20 reps, the weight is too heavy.

* If your muscles are sore for more than two days, the weights are too heavy.

* If your soreness is anything other than very mildly uncomfortable, reduce the weight, not the reps.

* By very mild soreness, I mean very, very, VERY mild.

* If you have even the slightest joint pain, reduce the weight.

* If you hear popping and snapping of your tendons as you move through an exercise, reduce the weight.

* Never go to failure.

* Never train unless you've broken a mild sweat with your warm-up first. (10 min on a bike, etc...)

* Never train unless you allow time for cool-down afterward. Mild, post workout cardio significantly reduces muscle soreness in my experience. Shoot for 15 min. minimum cool-down.

* Very slowly start increasing weight each week or month. If you have no muscle or joint soreness, it's probably safe to increase a little.

* Be very patient. Body changes over 40 take a lot of time and rushing things just leads to injury now or later.

* On non-workout days, try to stay active. Get out of your chair and get some mild exercise at least once an hour. Keep your blood flowing. This reduces soreness and aids in faster recovery.

* Don't skip workouts

* If you skip workouts and you have been increasing the weight, reduce the weight to less than whatever you were lifting in your last workout.

Have you every heard an old person complain that their muscles are not big enough? Have you every heard an old person complain that their joints are terrible? I've seen plenty of old guys with relatively big muscles that have trouble walking much less doing anything else. Don't ruin your joints with lifting heavy weights too fast. Whatever pleasure you get from strength and big muscles while you are still relatively young is not worth the joint damage you will experience later. Joints are the key to mobility and are far more important than muscles.
Current headline: "Lyft leaked my credentials"

Sorta thought the story was going to involve leaked credentials.

First, I'm sure Lyft will take care of it in your favor.

Second, this is certainly an issue when utilizing SMS for authentication/login. I'm not sure the best answer since it can be a good way to support easy login/authentication. If phones send along a device ID, that might work. Not sure the frequency of same number on same "disposable" phone.

Tarot Advice - starting over in today's online market
the trend in my niche market seems to be towards aggregate/syndicate content, or, conversely, very individual pages. After more than a decade setting the standard as exclusive providers of tarot for astrology.com, they sold out to a corporate competitor and gave us 30 days notice, so now we are starting over on our own. We seem to be a dying breed as we are still writing all our own content and doing all our own programming - AND trying like hell to do our own SEO, social stuff, and marketing - Is it possible for a "start up" with an invisible history and now no income or capital to make it in the current environment just by sheer determination?
You're the one who forgot, or chose not to, pay your bill and got your phone number cancelled. And you chose to use an app that tied your phone number and your credit card together. So, you share some responsibility here.

Lyft's problem is two-fold:
1) they don't warn users not to use their app on a temporary device
2) they don't allow an easy way to cancel the account without the phone number
