I find this an interesting viewpoint. For me my exercise tracking is more useful as a metric to establish a good workout routine. Once I have it down then I can track my variations throughout the week and correlate that with work habits (I

When I get like this I can write code and design systems as easily as breathing, but only for short stints, and once I go to bed and get a full nights sleep I'm done for a couple days. It's like hyper vigilance but all I see is th

Google and Facebook don't let it be easily known who their highest paid employees are, or even that they exist. They'd get poached.

I'm 32 and I've been setting my price for the past 4 years. I also didn't get out much for 6 years :D but it was worth it.

Seriously, this is good advice, if you're in the above average skill set range in an area that is in demand, such as senior sys admin/ senior programmer, and various other combos. Then you can name your price, the trick is finding

I would argue that you need to evolve with the software. Google search isn't the same anymore. Intellectual Darwinism, Evolve or become irrelevant. You can't search the way you used to or you'll get crappy results. If you don

Nice, that sounds useful. I guess it's good that they're releasing some of it as open source then. :) I've built a couple backend systems for mobile and other, I've used Kafka/zk for messaging primarily. I'll h

This is biased hokey. JavaScript is very fast for what it's built to do, and it keeps getting faster and used for more applications. Another problem is many JavaScript programmers actually don't know how the language works. They t

Work smarter, not harder. I have 5 kids and it's been financially taxing, but I work hard to learn the skills that will pay the most. Overall I'd say I spend 3-4 hours a day reading up on my field, and it took a lot of practice bu

DNA doesn't vary by cell, and the method of introduction is chemical, I imagine this creates a chained effect, otherwise how would cells pass on activated chains through the body when your DNA naturally changes.

This has been my experience as well, not to mention how much the client slowed down my machine. It's been really slow going but the client is getting better. I never tried doing the encryption on my side, though, they also do diffs on

I'd have to disagree on that. I have a note 4, rooted, stock other than that, and I just tested from unlock to opening google music to hitting play, and it took mere seconds the whole way through. I doubt this has anything to do with

What a horrible idea. I certainly hope people realize that this is simply an unsustainable model, nobody likes a cage, you can dress it up however you like, but in the end it's still a cage. As users become more savvy in larger quantities t

I agree on the whole coffeescript thing, really it detracts from what you are trying to show. But on to the real point of commenting; I am implementing a system using backbone because it is a requirement of the company I am contracting for.

Observations aside, there is actually scientific evidence to the contrary. The fact is that our bodies require certain types of fats (omega3, omega6, etc..) in order to function properly. Your body is built to break down fats, this is why y

This is why I use clients that do client side encryption. The data is encrypted on your local machine; usually compressed and then sent off to the cloud. The key is stored on your machine and there is no easy way for them to see the data yo

Yeah, I was worried till I actually talked to dev's right after reading the announcement on irc. In fact the last release of Kubuntu was all community, so these death of Kubuntu posts are just sensationalist news as per usual.

On the memory side of things (in Linux) RAM is cheap, buy 32GB or whatever your machine can support. Once you have a large amount of memory set /proc/sys/vm/swappiness to a low number like 10 (sysctl -w vm.swappiness=10) if you want to free
