unfortunately, the more you look into ergonomics research, the more you'l find that every person's situation of "comfort" is different. you can start with some basic guidelines (see my other reply to your parent post) and then work from the

getting up to stretch for 5 mins every hour or so can be important (primarily hands and arms), even if you use an ergonomic chair. i find it helps the "flow" rather than interrupt it (as the link claims). i'd also recommend switching to an

we were on the internet before you had any of your "am i on the internet?" criteria checked :) just trying to have a conversation, not really interested in arguing (usually futile, especially on the web/forums/etc.). if i'm missing somethin

no prob. wasn't trolling. apologies for the pithy comment if it came across as such. main point was that wikileaks, for me, provides much more insight/info/"bootstrapping-a-new-source-of-news" than most of the stuff i see on hn. hence, i'd

literal about what? your explanation was poorly phrased, how was i to interpolate what you really meant if you didn't clarify it fully? my parsing of your sentence is valid, as is yours. and i didn't say or intend to imply there was any con

does this also apply (my simple sanity check test): "The US gov't are real scumbags for risking people's lives. They claim their real purpose is to protect against threats against democracy. Isn't it interesting how they behave when they ge

also, from hn guidelines http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html "When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. E.g. "That is an idiotic thing to say; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3

so are all people that risk people's lives scumbags? what if the people he releases info about are ones that risk more people's lives than he does? part of war is about putting your life at risk in order to preserve the lives of many more.

i'm not sure what you mean by "worthless". it's just taking the two terms and going by their def'n. seems fairly obvious. news - wikileaks provides information to the public hacker - ummmmm, i'd have to ask you what your def'n is here. this

i ask you this: does it also outrage you when the us forces also kill innocent people? are innocent people really your concern? the irony is that wikileaks also previously released a video showing us forces killing innocent people. and my g

everything wikileaks has done is not only more "news" than hacker news, but also more "hacker" than hacker news.

by babeKnuth 16y ago
unsure if i agree or disagree with that. is there evidence for this? also, the counter-argument can be made that the initial actions of the invading forces also contribute to such things as getting even more innocent people killed. maybe th

burnaby cabinet sounds better than "vancouver cabinet" and is technically more accurate smallKeys even tho you're referring to small values, "smallKeys" sounds better than "smallValues" (tho misleading)

ummm, what history of pc tablet prices dropping below ipad prices is this? the history i'm aware of is when mac products start out fairly expensive then slowly drop in price over new generation releases.

by babeKnuth 16y ago
Right. So you just reinforced the original comment's point. You don't want one because it's too expensive.

many people learn many different ways. once you've attempted to try and teach/show people, you'll hopefully see this first hand. there is no such thing as a single pedagogy that applies to everyone with the same effectiveness. everyone is a

i'm curious as to what sort of pedagogical approach zed will be taking with this course. i know zed's personal preference is to pick up a book and just go thru all the exercises in it (e.g. mickey baker's jazz guitar). will he be doing anyt

i second that. not just mongrel2, even ruby, jazz guitar, etc. i think being able to get feedback from someone like zed allows one to QUICKLY and EFFICIENTLY get to the meat and heart of ideas and concepts. whereas in my experience with oth
