Hasn't worked for me. I walk and jog 5-10 miles per week, and I use a standing desk. Doesn't do shit for my back as far as I can tell.

To keep my back healthy I must lift. I watch Kelly Starrett's podcasts and do what he says, but with a quarter of the weight. I ain't no lifter, but the light stuff keeps me pretty spry. Shoulders down and back!
When I was back at an automotive startup, we had to write an integration with ADP's DMS. I can say without a doubt that it was the worst API I have ever had the misfortune of working with. Horribly buggy, the documentation didn't match the output, endpoints disappeared at random, different endpoints required different auth keys. Made no sense at all.

I even remember a time when our ADP representative called us and said she thought the project should be called off due to the amount of malformed payloads we were sending her.... on our development account. Not production.. Not even testing. Development.

ADP has left a bitter taste in my mouth since then.
Depending on your time commitment, look up Starting Strength and StrongLifts (45min-1h30 3 times a week, strength oriented), Jason Blaha's ICF 5x5 (1h30-2h00 3 times a week, strength/bodybuilding oriented), Dan John's Easy Strength/Even Easier Strength (30min-45min 5 times a week, extremely strength oriented and very simplistic training). Note than Starting Strength/StrongLifts/ICF5x5 will require you to sleep and eat like it's your job. A lot of people stop progressing just because they can't stand the constant eating.
And [1, 3], in reference to explicitly violent European "antifascists", in the context of a "sorely needed" but inchoate as of last October "tech antifa[scist]" movement, is "100% okay with that, personally."(https://twitter.com/steveklabnik/status/523497129772613632).

I assure you that people of the right like me feel "unsafe" about the presence of people like them in American society, and I wonder if they've thought about the consequences of that, of their programs in general, etc. I see no way for this to end well.
The parallax scrolling on that page is mediocre IMO.

It's unnoticeable when not using smooth scrolling (my personal default). Not a huge problem for a design feature to be unnoticeable though.

When smooth-scrolling using the middle mouse button on Chrome/Linux, it doesn't update dynamically as it scrolls; the background snaps into position when scrolling stops. In Firefox/Linux, it does update dynamically with middle mouse smooth scrolling, but jerkily. It's noticeably bad in both browsers.
I know all about SS and think it's a good program. It doesn't change the fact that some people will not be able to get that strong, or will find it very difficult or time-consuming. This is just an empirical fact. If you want to "no true scotsman" every counterexample and say the person didn't have the right trainer, didn't work hard enough, or didn't drink his milk, I can't stop you. But I've personally seen people do it and not get anywhere close to deadlifting 400lbs. They were just ectomorphs and didn't put on muscle like that.

Speaking as someone with posture problems, I'm interested by heavy lifting, but very concerned about the potential for injury.

Do you have any stats on how safe it is, particularly vis a vis back injuries? It seems like a bit of a high-risk wager - if you keep good form in EVERY exercise you do, you get stronger and improve your health, but if you screw up once, you damage your back in a very serious way.
No, actually the entire book is just about comparing photographs of people who live in different parts of the world and how they sit / stand / walk etc.. If you wanted to sit for a few hours with google image search it could give the same conclusions really.

The book is more or less a collection of illustrations and photographs of posture and a some exercises for training yourself to pose more like people who haven't been influenced too much by western culture. The author's background and the stupid title makes it sound like alternative medicine wacko snake oil but it's really not

The issue at hand here is how do we prevent terrorist attacks from within our own borders without mass surveillance of the population and without the profiling of certain populations (ie middle easterners, northern africans, etc)??

I don't think we need mass surveillance since it creates more useless data and not enough indicators someone is planning something. So where is the line drawn between mass surveillance and no surveillance? How do we keep this country safe, without infringing people's freedom?
Yarvin makes repeated references to Carlyle in multiple pieces, not just the one that's being circulated. Carlyle's position on slavery is not compatible with your summary.

Carlyle's take† is distilled utilitarianism. The blacks in the West Indies are lazy and stupid. The English are not. The climate in the West Indies is such that a black person living there need not work at all; they can simply pluck their food off the vines. The English are starving. Left to their own devices, the black people will revert to a state of nature, killing each other in an atavistic reversion to a primal jungle. At least under slavery, they can be watched over by benevolent masters. The sugar trade will thrive. The English will prosper. Slavery is pareto efficient.

It's really not hard to find attachment points to Carlyle's "Discourse" in multiple places through Yarvin's writing --- the references to Carlyle, the nitpicking over 1850s politics extrapolated to condemnations of the abolition movement, the genetic predisposition stuff.

A reasonable person could reach the conclusion that the parent commenter did.

It is not, however, fair to say that Yarvin wrote overt defenses of slavery. His defenses of slavery --- presuming that's what they are --- are cryptic.

† and, I'll trepidatiously infer, Yarvin's (after correcting for modernity)

Apple is going to talk down about it right up until the day that they do a 180 and finally catch up or surpass Microsoft in this arena.

The nay-saying Apple apologists around here just can't wrap their heads around the fact that Apple are masters of bullshitting people into thinking that they know best, even when they leave out obvious features like a second mouse button. I remember back in the 90's, Apple lovers would actually argue that a single mouse button was somehow better because you had to "think about it less". What a crock of fucking shit! :)

> Running a desktop operating system on a tablet doesn't make sense.

Having a different OS for desktops vs. tablets doesn't make much sense. There may be some things you want to do different from a UI perspective, but that should be alterable within the same OS (and, anyway, with touch increasinging available on desktop and laptop displays and people frequently using tablets with, at least, a keyboard if not a mouse, you probably want desktop and tablet OSs to be able to use the same range of UI capabilities, just with different defaults.)
Supreme Court strikes down ‘born in Israel’ passport law
This was alleged relatively loudly by the libertarian wing of the GOP. While no one expected Ron Paul to win the primaries, most of us did expect him to do significantly better than he did. Further, I recall instances in very small precincts where more people openly claimed to have voted for Paul than were counted.

Coupled with the reported suppression of Paul's delegates to the national convention, there seems to be strong evidence of an active conspiracy within the GOP to resist a perceived ideological shift in the party. Such a shift occurred last in the wake Pat Robertson's failed bid for the GOP nomination for the presidency in 1988.
The Top (known) Black-Hat Hackers
It advertises that it's "without promises", but then implements a remarkably Promise-like API:

PS.create(someAsyncFunction, ['argOne'], callback1)
.then(callback2)
.then(callback3)
.run();

Really the only obvious API difference there is that starting the chain is uglier, and there's a "run()" method that has to be invoked before kicking things off.

Presumably, this also doesn't handle errors as nicely as Promises do either; I didn't see anything about error handling in a quick-skim.
Robust and Efficient Elimination of Cache and Timing Side Channels [pdf]
I can attest to this method being completely effective, but I think you can skip the contract work, and it might get in the way.

At least in my experience as a contractor, people are looking for contractors because they have lots of experience in this technology but don't have the resources or time to devote to their project full-time. So if you have little experience in a tech stack, you may have a hard time finding this kind of work.

I simply built a side project (I did this with Rails) and then got hired full-time at a startup to do Rails work. As with everything, YMMV.
This is the core of the problem. Many of the other commenters are pining on about how nothing has been done about the state of surveillance since the Snowden/Binney/Drake/Risen leaks, but what everyone is either not saying or ignoring is that the buck stops with the Executive branch.

I keep wanting to cheer for the exec. It should have some of the best intelligence in the world on subversive actors at play in the beltway and wallstreet, so I often expect a power play against those interests. Given that the exec repeatedly fails to do so tells me one thing:

The executive is already compromised. Uncomfortable conclusion to say the least. I mean more than just monied interest making donations too, as should be obvious.

I have two main questions: was continuity of government (aka shadow government) put into operation on 9/11, and does it still continue? I haven't found anyone but Peter Dale Scott asking these questions, and I never hear any answers.

"What is the first step out of this current state of affairs, in which the constitution appears to have been superseded by a higher, if less legitimate authority? I submit that it is to get Congress to do what the law requires, and determine whether our present proclamation of emergency “shall be terminated” (50 U.S.C. 1622, 2002).

As part of this procedure, Congress should find whether secret COG powers, never submitted to Congress or seen by it, are among “the powers and authorities” which Bush in 2007 included in his prolongation of the 2001 emergency.

This is not a technical or procedural detail. It is a test of whether the United States continues to be governed by its laws and constitution, or whether, as has been alleged, the laws and constitution have now in places been superseded by COG. "

What I would say is that as a former Marine and a combat vet who tried to understand the "why?" behind the war(s), I consistently return to Smedley Butler and the attempted facist coup known as the business plot and Butler's testimony to the committee. (also his War is a Racket speech)

http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/McCormack-Dickstein_Committee#...

Honestly, I don't think the facists ever went away, they just went "underground" and became subversive while playing along with whatever both parties were spouting. Hence the business class owns both parties.

All these are tough and complex issues and many of the answers are dirty and unpleasant. The American people are propagandized into the ground by the same interests, which is my main quabble with those who just want to blame the American people for their ignorance and apathy. They didn't get there all on their own!
A better way to look at strength is to look at who has been winning the battles. If you look at the past 50 years, the left has won most of them.

And as others have noted, they are now reduced to policing the battlefield and shooting the survivors, which of course Curtis was one.

Developer’s Silence Raises Concern About Surespot Encrypted Messenger
Why hasn't Prolog programmed us out of existence, then?

Don't get me wrong. Constraint solvers are useful and powerful tools for declarative problem solving, but I don't recall them ever being viewed as general-purpose, especially not to the level of being a generic "autocode" (what compilers were once called, funnily enough) system.

Genetic programming seems like a more likely candidate (with some combination of SAT solvers and statistical learning), but again hypothesizing about such a major thing doesn't appear fruitful at present.
+1

I think these people underestimate what they can already deadlift. I feel like most adult males under 40 could DL at least 200 lbs from the start.

Genetics only play a minor role in how much one progresses unless you count the Y-chromosome. The biggest factor is how much testosterone your body produces. If you're male, you're probably fine.

I'm sort of an SS hater, but it IS a good program for people that are starting from little to no knowledge of lifting.

EDIT: Apparently I'm off around 20 lbs. Most adult men can deadlift over 180lbs it seems.

Since the site is Enterprise Craftsmanship, I read it from that angle. In my experience, deployments must be requested several days in advance and require approvals from managers, testers, analysts, and functional experts. Quick "emergency" changes require extra approvals and are reviewed periodically. Minor configuration changes don't have nearly as many restrictions.

In that type of environment, I think it is absolutely worth the flexibility. And "building in" that kind of flexibility means to, um, add a line to the existing configuration file.
Generics are not a performance hindrance unless you mean executable size or compile times. They run just as fast as code with potentially dangerous casts.

Apple continues to refuse acknowledgment of the existence of a heterogeneous computing environment. Many people who do not have access to an Apple computer will not be able to watch the stream. Contrast with Google who stream their keynote on YouTube. So rather than being inclusive, the company is being exclusive.

Yet Tim Cook, with regards to diversity of employees, believes "It's the future of our company... I think the most diverse group will produce the best product, I firmly believe that."[1]

Does Tim Cook not see the irony of his posturing? How can he produce the best products if he and his employees are hired to reject the reality of the technology world around them and enforce isolation rather than encourage interoperability?

The only way to fight surveillance is to make all secrets of every state and every single individual on the planet public knowledge. Total surveillance of everybody at all times available to anyone who wants it. To completely destroy the concept of being alone. That way there is perfect alignment between elites, people, corporations, and governments as to their attitude and thereby policy toward surveillance. We need to hack this and make this a reality.

This WWDC is the most underwhelming one evah!!!!

Seriously, though, I'm pretty excited. Each year is the worst ever-- kinda like SXSW these days-- to some people. I don't understand where they are coming from. Sure, some years are more fundamental than others... but Apple always has one great thing to announce.

I happened to be there, and in the audience not too far from Steve when he came out and started speaking while a coffin rose up from beneath the stage. Then he opened the coffin and placed a Mac OS 9 box in the Coffin. It was wonderful. (And I was so happy because, unlike the 1980s, I was no longer interested in classic Mac OS.)

My last regular WWDC was in 2003, and I remember being really impressed that they gave out Leather Jackets (thought that was probable 2001, now that I think about it.) Nothing like communing with the mac faithful once a year- back when being a mac developer meant having trouble finding jobs where you actually got to do mac development.

Seriously, I got hired more than once to work on a mac product, only to be shifted over to windows soon after. Consequently, I just stopped learning windows so they wouldn't think I could do it and what I did know became out of date... so I ended up working on Linux instead! But Linux is fine by me.

Once the videos started coming out regularly, it didn't make much sense to go to San Francisco for a week-- $1500 for the conference, $2,500 more all in for hotel and airfare and all that-- a $600 set of DVDs is a much better deal.

But I did go back in 2008 so my partner (we started an iOS development shop) could get the experience and get a first hand education in the just released "iPhone SDK".

One thing that's interesting-- there has been no real rumor about what's going to be released.

I haven't a clue.

And I love it.

Apple's at their best when they surprise. The amount of surprise may not reach some people's expectations...

But this day is more significant to me (as a graybeard adult) than christmas probably ever was.

So, Happy WWDC Keynote Day!

Rest in Peace, Steve!

One of the guys in my gym is a world champ powerlifter but I've only seen him pick up 300 pounds. A lot of us are much lighter than the average American male so a more personal goal might be twice bodyweight.
Considering it's a developer conference and Apple developers must have Apple hardware it makes sense as a way to let the people who need in in but not have to pay for the infrastructure required for everyone else to view. It would be nice if they opened it to everyone but considering they're not in the video streaming business in the way Google is it would be a waste of resources.
