I have a similar experience with caffeine. I really enjoy the boost that I get from coffee and chocolate, but then the buzz wears off and I crash, feeling irritable, tense, and on edge. It's the withdrawal effects of the caffeine, and it can go on into the next day (unless, of course, I take in more caffeine, which just repeats the cycle). Some people like us are more sensitive to the effects of caffeine (and alcohol) and are just much better off without it. Better sleep, more even energy and moods throughout the day, etc. I, too, miss the coffee buzz and the social aspects of it, but for those of us that are more sensitive to caffeine, the negatives outweigh the positives.
If your system consists of 100 apps, you have a bigger problem, and likely is a shop big enough to deal with it.

I'm working on a production deployment of a CoreOS+Docker system for a client now, and the entire system consists of about a dozen container-images, most of which have small, largely non-overlapping dependencies.

Only two have a substantial number of dependencies.

This is a large part of what excites people about Docker and the like: It gives us dependency isolation that often results in drastically reducing the actual dependencies.

None of this e.g. requires statically linked binaries, so no, you don't have to wait for the latest image of 100 apps. You need to wait for the latest package of whatever library is an issue, at which point you rebuild your images, if necessary overriding the package in question for them.
Climate is a big system and we know only some parts of it. Trying to cure symptoms may have grave consequences. (Think about medicine - there are many tests before it can be used; many early drugs had horrible side-effect. But in the case of Earth we have only one run.)

A hundred years ago it would be close to 100% christianity. The runes was simply a traditional way of writing. Norse mythology is of course a lot of fun but it's sad how little we know of it and it's traditions.
When I click on links in the nav bar, they don't go anywhere. I have AdBlock installed which seems to be the cause but why on earth does AdBlock affect how an html link works?

> memorization is so much more important than both of them

Is that really true at this high of a level though? There are a little under 120K words in SOWPODS that are 9 letters or less (looking through some of those archived games, it seems like 10+ letter words are uncommon). So there's a hard upper bound on what memorization can do for you, and it seems plausible that that limit (or close enough to make strategy the dominating factor) would have been reached by a handful of people.

It seems that you try to use selenium 2, or webdriver, in order to run your unit tests.
Selenium is for browser test, and by its nature it can not run in milliseconds. Its execution time is in seconds.
Even when use phantomjs webdriver.
It is integration testing approach because it combines execution of several javascript modules. That run in real browser.
Selenium has its purpose, but fast test execution is not one of them.
It's worth you doing a pass across your product descriptions. Randomly clicking on one, I found this statement [1]:

"You can read more about Shigehiro knives under the tab to the left."

Except that there's no tab to the left; the tab you refer to is actually across the top of the page. Also, it took me 3 or so attempts to find which tab you meant specifically.

People are paying hundreds of dollars for a knife. They expect the experience to be flawless, not just the product shipped to them.

This is fairly boring because the "incompleteness" is built in to the Navier-Stokes equation from the off, and we (physicists) have been well-aware of it for over a century.

Solutions to the Navier-Stokes equation are turbulent on all scales, but reality is only turbulent down to the atomic scale. This matters practically in rarefied gas dynamics, but it matters formally--that is, to mathematicians--no matter what.

Also, the Navier-Stokes equation is typically solved with extremely simple boundary conditions, but reality has surface tension and whatnot.

Ergo: the Navier-Stokes equation is an incomplete description of reality. This is not news. There may be some news in the generalized understanding of how to turn the atomic-level Boltzmann equation into an appropriate macroscopic equation, but the incompleteness of the Navier-Stokes equation is just not all that interesting.

This is fairly usual in physics: the mathematical language we use to describe reality is in most cases approximate, and leaves out various (physically insignificant) terms, as well as including (physically impossible) solutions (waves that propagate backward in time, etc).
Pretty much this.

> ... outputting an irrational number as a measurement does not* imply that it's able to output any member of the complement of the rationals in the reals.*

It's my fault, I'm sure, but you have missed the point entirely. The argument to which I responded, and which I extended absurdly, does imply that every real number is a valid output of a chance setup, and further assumes that each real number, including "any member of the complement of the rationals in the reals", is an equally likely outcome of that setup. That is anyway the conventionally understood definition of "pick a real number uniformly at random between 0 and 1".

I would attempt to clarify the rest of what I wrote, but your condescension dissuades me.

This is by far my favorite way to test; not something I invented but something I picked up start with an EMPTY DATABASE (with tables setup), then every test: begins a transaction,asserts the db is empty, sets up the data (via factories and DAOs), performs its queries (via DAOs) rolls back the transaction for the next test.

The shape and design of Japanese knives is indeed quite different in use than the typical western chef's knife. It takes a little adjustment, but personally I do prefer a good santoku blade when I can get one, unless I'm doing something that needs the extra length.

The thing about Japanese knife making is that they're just about the only ones left doing it that way, and there are advantages to hand-forged steel. You can't get the same results from machine stamping, and yeah, centuries of experience is not to be sneezed at in any profession. You'd be surprised how much of the working knowledge of a whole range of fields dates back to the middle ages. One of the holy grails of Western smithing books came out in the time of woodcuts.

Using high carbon steel increases the tensile strength and hardness of the blade. It's true that crafted Japanese knives do require more regular care and maintenance, but the durability in the long term if properly treated is dramatically greater than stamped stainless knives. There are sushi chefs in Japan using 100+ year old knives.

I was a cook professionally for many years, and I've tried a whole range of knives from the lowest to the highest end, and no knife I have ever used has been as pleasant to work with as a good Japanese forged knife. I'd still buy one in a heartbeat if I could both spare the cash and justify it for simple home use.
The Cold War basically prevented some internal conflict within the Communist Bloc by providing an external menace and scapegoat.

That's an interesting theory, but I'm not sure I can agree with it. Before the Sino-Soviet split, the communist world was really just one state, the Soviet union and everybody else was but a satellite.

better anti-Communist strategy would have been for the non-Communist nations to offer generous asylum/refugee-based immigration programs

That is more or less exactly what West Germany did with refugees from East Germany. It was extremely successful, until the East build the wall and made fleeing next to impossible.

Sorry to read about the RSI. Since you're on a hacking forum, I'm going to suggest you learn some basic pain science. It may help you understand your situation. A few pointers:

Tissue "damage" usually resolves within 6 weeks.

Pain and "damage" are not equivalent. Hence pain may occur without damage, and damage without pain.

Pain and "suffering" are not equivalent. Hence pain may occur without suffering. A handy illustration: certain folks actively seek out certain painful stimuli.

There is no such thing as a "pain nerve" or even a "pain signal". Pain or suffering emerge from your (conscious) interpretation of stimuli.

Your pain is absolutely not psychosomatic. It's real. However, consider this: every single experience you ever have, including pain and suffering, only exists in your brain. Your RSI is as real as my keyboard right now.

Good luck :)

Should I attempt to gain app development skills in 6 months?
I am in the early stages of developing (what I envisage to be) a multi-sided platform startup. At this stage I envisage it being based on a phone app. I think that the app would need:
- user profile functionality like linkedin
- geo-location functionality like tinder
- bidding and payment functionality, perhaps like ebay

My question is, given my background, is it worth trying to gain app development skills over the next 6 months sufficient to do early minimum viable product iterations (I could probably spend 10-20 hours per month)? Or should I try to partner with a real developer (would be in Berlin). I have an idea that I would like to show some proof of traction to a potential partner to try to attract high quality candidates.

My background: relatively minimal formal training in programming (a couple of courses at university). Quantitative analysis programming (MATLAB) during physics/maths undergraduate studies (5 years). 2.5 years C++/Python programming running LHC simulations. A further 1.5 years Python programming modelling supply chains in my present job. I would consider myself to be fairly confident in developing object oriented programmes in Python (C++ experience was >5 years ago now, but could probably pick it back up). I am fairly confident of ability to hack solutions by google-searching.

If you think it is worth giving it a go, what courses and languages would you recommend, given my objective (sufficient to do early minimum viable product iterations. i.e. I guess that the product wouldn’t have to be super-efficient or super polished).

I am also a bit uncertain about what backend development I would need for such early iterations so any advice/reading on that would also be appreciated.

Thankful for any advice. Apologies if I have left out any important information.

Marketplaces are incredibly difficult to pull off successfully. What I recommend is to find a way to add value to one side of the equation (most likely for the sellers), and build up a sufficiently compelling argument for them that you can become profitable simply as a SaaS business for them. And then, when you have traction on that side of the equation, add your consumer biz.

And it's always useful to know how to write code.
7 Reasons You Need Business Process Consulting Right Now
I mean, maybe? That's still a scenario where the vast amount of memorization you did is more important than the strategy you may come up with. There aren't top players who got there with superior strategy and a vastly inferior vocabulary.
During week days I often pay attention to signs while I am walking/driving through to keep in mind if I will be able to park there on Saturday or Sunday. With these new signs - that would be impossible.
This sort of thing exists and is apparently what other commenters also have in mind, but I would argue that in your example the measuring device's output is a natural number n in the range [0, 300] and that its interpretation as a fraction of a circle's circumference is just that.

Clearly the existence of describable irrational numbers implies that we can describe a measurement using an irrational number. That does not make a finite measurement essentially irrational in any meaningful sense.
Better to streamline the parking restrictions themselves; that would make the signs simpler without hiding anything.

> If you have any tips about "excruciating existential anxiety"

I've found that the more I think about it the worse it gets - which makes sense: it's habit-forming. Try this:

1. Stay on the SSRIs - they can help you learn how to break the habit.

2. Pick a "safe topic." It doesn't have to be interesting (although that probably helps), but should just have a good chance of not leading to existential issues.

3. Next time you start thinking about existential issues, start thinking about your topic instead.

I have no idea if it works in the long-run but it's what I am doing right now. I'm not sure if the underlying cause for the anxiety will ever go away, but if I can habitually stop thinking about it then it might as well no longer be there.

Also, it's usually worst when I am trying to go to sleep. I put on YouTube with brain-numbing content face-down next to my pillow: nothing stimulating (interesting or humorous).

You also wouldn't know if you can park after the sign changes in general. If it says you can park from 3 to 11PM, what do you do if you arrive at 10:30 and you want to know what happens at 11? With a sign that shows all the requirements, it might say that parking costs money from 3-11 and after that it's free, or it might say that you can't park at all after 11. With these signs, you don't know until 11.

I work for a company called Cinergix. We make a product called creately. Sri Lanka has an IT industry largely based around offshore and services. So to have a product used globally definitely falls into the isolated criteria.

Apart from us though, from Sri Lanka:

Hiveage (previously curdbee). Also used globally. Very inspiring crew behind the product.

I think that's it for products in sri Lanka that have gained a global presence. This is obviously software only. Unaware of other industries' startup status

Sure.
Rails: Rails is always moving fast. To keep up to date you will have to go through some migration pain from time to time.
Sinatra: Nice little framework but you very probably have some redundancy with your Rails code. Also you need to decide when to use what.
MySQL is nice and battle proven but as there is also Redis added to the mix. So one needs to decide when to use what. It's not that there is one DB that you work with, data is split into two different systems. Solr needs to play nice with both dbs I guess? Sidekick looks like a natural addition and is pretty much a no brainer I guess. There might be things to consider when updating Rails that affect Sidekick.
One might assume that the frontend part seems to be decoupled from the backend part but as there is Rails in the backend I can imagine that some parts are rendered server side and some parts are backbone + mustache (mustache is another thing added to the mix as backbone has its own templating language that seems to be replaced here). So this is why I can imagine that it is not an easy task to maintain the codebase as there are more technology blocks involved than for example plain rails + mysql.

Looks really cool. I was first thinking it saves the JSON with the new Postgres JSON support, but saving it as relational data is even more impressive!

I'd say if the OPTIONS would return a JSON Schema (+ RAML/Swagger) instead of the json-fied DDL, it would be even more awesome. With a bit of code generation this would be super-quick to integrate in the frontend then.
