Isn't this basically the function of moveable type / melody? It's just a big CGI engine that pumps to static content, but is managed pretty much the same way as wordpress UI / concept wise.

Second this. It's the same as the rejection therapy thing that started catching on. You need to be conscious of failure and unexpected outcomes but don't turn it into yet another friggin' cult movement or goal. Set your target, go hard towa

Actually, IIRC, he's already spent the time with his family and dismissed them. He wanted the last moments with them to be clear and lucid, this is more of an after activity while he goes through his final hours before dying. It was a lot t

Yeah, can see how it read lol. There's no cage, just a smith machine at my local gym (and there's only two in town), so I do freeweight squats at home, then smith there, going for the max on each.

Well I took the /print off the link because it kept crashing chrome, but apart from that we probably did. I'm talking about non-motivated, non-pro kind of people (see other response, I was 310 pounds and happily googling super fitness techn

My gripe is about "getting fit" as in coming from baseline / nothing to being a reasonable human being. When I was pushing 310 pounds (as in ass weight, not bench weight), this is the kind of thing I would read and go, hey, yeah! Super clev

I've never met a successful person who was an unmotivated lardass. Probably close to 2/3rds of the people who I've worked with that are in the top of their fields are crazy about cycling, marital arts, running, etc. It just takes too much e

I get the logic and intent behind these kind of articles but at the same time they infuriate me, because this is the kind of crap that people read and use as yet-another-reason as to why they don't try to get fit. Sure, machines aren't perf

Have you ever read up on ILOC and ELOC? I'm not sure if it's just pop psych but I found it a good example to explain to people the importance of owning your life and outcomes. Basically people with a high internal locus of control drive cha

If you dig through the help for account deletion, the magic button is there. Some arbitrary number of days later your account is permanently deleted (as in deleted, not deactivated). Worked as of Dec '10

Kirix Strata looks like the dropbox equivalent for this space ( http://www.kirix.com/ ). All it does is suck in data -> Create relationships -> pivot, graph and report. The people I know that use it swear by it because it fills one

Not sure this takes into account everyone else who died at sea. Occasional serendipitous results are to be expected, but don't represent what is probably a large body of associated failures to this approach.

Oh, heck. I'd avoided 1000M for a while because I was expecting to find it pretty tacky, but after having browsed a few profiles, it's quite moving (especially considering I don't know the people in the profiles). Excellent job, wish you gu

Yeah, sorry my initial reply was borderline knee jerk. I'm even questionable on even largest, but it's all on the back of my own experience. The successful relationships I've had were always ones where my partner had their own, multiple cri

Disagree. This is not binary unless you are a small shop. Operational activities produce tangible products via shipping. R&D Departments produce concepts. Concepts as a "product" are just a useful marketing opportunity on the back of yo

In my experience if I'm her largest influence, then something's gone horribly wrong. I don't mean to be offensive, but this concept sounds more like codependency than a partnership.

Professional Boxers and Professional rugby players. There's a big difference between trying out social / club style sports and going into amateur / pro boxing competitions.

It is interesting. Technically it should be the same amount of energy transferred but without localised damage (eg, concentration of force through a knuckle into an area of bone or tissue). The head will still be jarred, so your point is pr

Fill me in on the headgear thing? I've never come across either point in regards to headgear / shattering hands.

It's a lot to do with risk ownership and the fact it can be a genuinely hard role to fill as a BA / PM. Yes, programmers make it happen, but in an organizational context, the bookends of a BA on the front and PM on the back make sure it hap

Yeah. Your last paragraph. There's a massive difference between this kind of thing and going to an organised club where you have to take a swing at a stranger who has a good capacity to hand your ass to you. I get what they're trying to do

No. Two perspectives on this - currently working alongside Process Control Engineers, and I'd trust these guys to do this kind of work. The mindset and level of detail is complete different from programming in non-critical fields. Our peer

Skimmed the thread and it doesn't seem to move away from the assumption of one programmer, one product. Open source is always at it's most impressive (imho) when you have a mass of individuals contributing to an application or system. It co

Age is a strawman. When I started reading HN I thought, yeah, I've missed the boat by 10 years (I'm 28). But this isn't dealing with reality. If you can change your situation or tolerate the changes creating a startup will introduce (workin

Salvation via consumption also seems to be the go. It baffles me that people think you need to buy something to fix a problem like emotional wellbeing / fitness / etc. Self help is one of the more insidious forms of consumerism, from my per

Yeah. To contrast, one of the books that changed my life (well, fitness wise) was Rock, Iron, Steel - Justa's book of strength. It was about 15 pages long, and can be summarized as "go and find some heavy things, then lift and drag them aro

Ferris tends to sell what zefrank classes as "brain crack". It gives you a high, fills your head with possibilities and a week after you finish the book you never think of it again. Yes, generalizing - yes, a select few people will read thi
