I'm sorry if my comment came across as saying that CrossFit is exemplary of all weight training. My intention is to just highlight the importance of taking your time. Weight training can have very low injury rates, but the rates go up

Treadmill desks look like a great idea all the way around. I just wish there was a model that would convert back and forth between sitting and walking easily. There are certainly times when I don't want to be walking...

Starting strength and similar routines are great but be very careful of starting light and maintaining proper technique as getting injured can really impact your health and happiness in a lot of ways especially as we get older. It is very e

I completely agree that the AWS descriptions and documentations are written with the style that actual best practices are left as an exercise for the reader. Without much nurturing the community is left to develop solutions like boto-rsync

by chuckcode 11y ago
I can understand that writing up technical details can be difficult as things are constantly improving and also as AWS has to be careful about what they claim. Perhaps a reasonable compromise would be to team up with some 3rd parties to let

I wish AWS would be a little more technical in their product descriptions and announcements. If there was ever an audience that wants technical data about how this type of technology will scale and compares to existing technology like glust

If I'm reading your comment correctly, then I think I'm disagreeing with you on two points: 1) I find that the outliers make a big difference in any distribution. For example: the vast majority of start ups fail, but the ones that

I think you're really underestimating construction workers and people in general. Einstein was a patent clerk while doing amazing physics. Jimi Hendrix worked odd jobs and was a paratrooper. People are capable of amazing (and terrible)

Definitely a lot more research required here but I think the intermittent fasting research is pretty interesting and promising. Particularly with the result that dietary restriction achieved by nutrient dilution rather than fasting didn&#x2

Personally I find selling excellence easiest without sweeping negative generalizations like they claim in their summary slides[1]. Presentation feels more like a blame game about how people have done things wrong in the past than highlighti

Not sure if I feel jealous or aghast that they are going to rewrite everything because apple launched swift... Must be amazing to work someplace with those kinds of developer resources

Lots of goodies in there. I'll make a pitch for including some modern mallocs like jemalloc or tcmalloc in the list. Also the hdf5 library for numerical data storage is quite useful (pytables is built on top of it).

Could you comment on why start ups with remote teams anecdotally do poorly but many open source projects with very remote teams succeed? Do you see any tools on the horizon to help people coordinate remotely at a new level?

Thanks - hoping that there was a built in solution but a buffer program makes sense
136.
by chuckcode 12y ago
Anybody know of a way to increase the buffer size of pipes? I've experienced cases where piping a really fast program to a slow one caused them both to go slower as the OS pauses first program writing when pipe buffer is full. This see

Some serious sales technique the way Apple waits to add colors for a product and then makes it seem like a big innovation. I love apple and use their products all the time but never understood the lack of colors initially for a company that

Seems like most code editors these days have reached that microsoft excel point where most of the requested features are already present and it is a matter of usability and better ways to help users learn these inherently complicated tools.

Great to see article putting it all together. Also going to be great to send this to people who think that using AWS cloud means that you can skip hiring people with skills in systems administration.

I would argue that some limited monopolies like those provided by patents on a truly novel invention makes sense. Our current patent system implementation is pretty broken but I think some limited protection, and thus monopolies, for new in

Seems like there is something important socially about being able to tell others what you plan to do and then after the fact share what you accomplished. As a software engineer it can be difficult when the work is so technical that I can&#x

As stated in the original article I reference [1] and the google play developer policies [2] google/android has exceptions for goods that can be used on other devices like amazon prime movies, music, magazines, etc. That is why you can

Interesting review. I haven't tried the fire phone and hadn't considered what would happen when amazon tried to redo the UI. I find the UI on amazon incredibly cluttered and nonsensical and sounds like the phone is similar in natu

With apple charging 30% of revenue [1] for in app purchases I'm sure that Bezos and others will continue to be concerned about the platform as well as the content. Might be a better strategy to partner with android than start a new eco

I've found that the things I taught to others are the things that I learned the most completely. Not sure if it is the most efficient way but having to explain it to someone else always seemed to crystalize the details for me.

Completely agree. Restrict keyword can free up the compiler to vectorize a lot of code with sse and avx on intel chips. [1] http://locklessinc.com/articles/vectorize/ [2] http://stackoverflow.com/q

One of the reasons people use "low level code" for performance is because the STL doesn't easily provide control of memory which is critical to performance. Electronic Arts wrote their own version of the STL largely so they c
