https://github.com/magnars/expand-region.el is a nice addition, especially for non-sexp languages. It's like Mathematica's "C-."

What you're saying is pretty accurate and I agree. But the problems you enumerate are ironically the best parts about learning JavaScript at the same time. Failing silently - it's nice to have 'incorrect' programs still

Only having a few productive hours during a day does not imply even distribution. You go even further and softly assume it's the first X hours that are productive. Doesn't sound likely.

Perhaps not a book, but a comprehensive language-agnostic resource on functional programming patterns would be nice.

It somewhat matches my experience too. Generally I'd say there's 3 classes of blocking: total block (twitter, fb), rate limiting (google), and general QoS downgrade (which seems so random that it might just be the infrastructure b

Would be helpful if you shared what your reads are like. Are they limited to a single customer or span the whole db? How fast do you need the "read-side" [or some portion of it] to be aware of the new writes? Also remember that th

The thing with me is that I'm not so bullish on health (or other) benefits inherent to exercise. So if I was to go out of my way and exercise i'd only do it to eat more. And yea walking around a room is fun, especially if you&#x27

So you burn a total of 2600 kcal day and 700 is from the 10 minute exercise and walking meetings? Sounds like the exercise has to be super intense? Or tons of walking. Well I consider all non-bmr' burn exercise. I rarely even leave my

by auganov 12y ago
It's kind of hard (if you're not into exercise) to burn more than 400 daily. So given that I burn ~1580/day by default an extra 300 is not such a big incentive to exercise. It's just an extra small meal/snack.

Same, I might just add that the USB monitor thing (well, DisplayLink at least) is not as bad as one would expect. It's surprisingly efficient and 99.9% of the time you won't notice the difference. When playing full screen video it

I don't exercise, slightly adjusted BMR x 1.2 pretty much worked.

I'd use cronometer.com everyday and try to always get the calorie counts right (didn't care so much about other metrics). My margin of error was around 50 calories/day (figured out by comparing with expected weight loss). The

I definitely want something that would solve that problem, but this is far from a decent solution. I think you need to go more abstract and consider other sources of 'presence' or activity and it's presentation. Some form of

We do definitely 'need' it. I think the bottleneck at the moment is technological, and slightly cultural. Basically we don't have an efficient way to run free open-source web services that could out-compete their commercial a

AFAIK they're mostly talking about money making being the main focus of the founder/s (especially on a personal level). It might make them over-optimize short-term outcomes, effectively building a profitable lifestyle business. It

I wish they just focused on being the new Emacs. Now it's in an awkward state where it's not Emacs enough for Emacs people but weird enough [in an emacs way] for others.

Well the whole point is unless you know they're an A you shouldn't really care about comparing them, so the investment terms and external factors are probably better indicators (like location) for making that decision.

There's a lot of Bs and Cs in the Valley too. Techstars is arguably an A and they're in Boulder. I'm not sure about accelerators outside of the US. But yea generally I'd say anyone is B at best until proven otherwise. Th

When it comes to class-B/C accelerators (not YC et al.) I'd generally completely discount the value of mentoring, their network etc. I'd just evaluate the purely financial value of both investments. And maybe just give Berlin

What are you gonna use it for? Go seems to have a strong foothold in cloud-related projects (i.e. Docker, Flynn, many parts of CoreOS). So if you're in the same niche it's probably an okay choice even if only for community reasons

It's not clear to me what you're expecting from a JavaScript 'framework'. It seems like you're looking for an all-encompassing backend and frontent framework? Try to go for a more loosely coupled approach and look b

Decision fatigue. Generally you want to reduce sign-up friction as much as possible. The less forms one has to fill-in the better. Asking people to come up with a question and explaining why they should care is just too much friction. If yo

Very obvious retargeting. Feels like being stalked. But then again it does seem effective so cannot blame them.

They seem so blindly focused on that one metric of girls majoring/working in CS. So much that they have no shame about exploiting sexist stereotypes in their message, strategy, branding even all the way down to web design. I'd lov
