I don't go to the gym with someone, but there is a big group of people there when I go, and we all know each other. I particularly like that we all have different jobs and come from different backgrounds. Like you mentioned, we all push ea

Great tip. I have something similar, I have a kettlebell right next to my desk (standup, so don't even have to get up to get it) and a set of rings hanging from the ceiling. My office looks a bit weird, but it gives me a great break.

Wouldn't the proper behavior be to provide some sort of back pressure so that it cannot decide for you to no longer backup your data to the replica set? I would expect that if you say you want data replicated, that if it can't handle that u

I don't necessarily think it is a copout. They are bootstrapped, are making a ton of money, and hit the market with a good product right off the bat. Not many companies can afford to do the things they do and still pull a profit. How m

Move the wiki somewhere where they don't even have to leave their normal flow of work. We moved ours to github. Just make a private & empty repo, add a wiki to it, and now you have a wiki you can edit in your favorite editor, search w

You can use Riak Smartmachines on Joyent's cloud that would get similar performance for an order of magnitude cheaper than what amazon is charging. If you are seeing 300ms response times, you are not using SSD's and you are not using a si

Not really if you pay attention to the set of NoSQL DB's available already. They are just hosting their own now.

I started there a few years ago, progressed past that to his other book, "Practical Programming for Strength Training", and now I'm all over the place. I went from more of a distance person to competing in strongman. I compete in a ligh

Find a gym that isn't boring. They exist. Flip tires, pull a sled, climb a rope, throw a heavy ball... Doing a bodybuilding routine is incredibly boring, but finding something you like at the gym can be very rewarding. Like anything el

If you watch for only 10 minutes you hear no less than 5 or 6 sources that he gives. If you are too lazy to watch a video, than no number of sources are going to help you.

Please explain how countless cultures who are severely malnutritioned and live off of less than 600 calories a day are obese? There are no credible studies that are currently being done that can answer those questions with calories in / c

by nosequel 15y ago
Actually you are most likely wrong. There is really good evidence that the number of calories don't matter and that the type of calories are everything. People associate the number of calories as mattering because they change other thin

"You can't develop a company culture without putting people together, physically." I couldn't disagree more. I've worked at several companies now, and my current company is my first distributed gig. It is by far the best and strongest cult

This is completely true. I was focused completely on work when I was at work when I had no kids. My first kid brought that building completely down. I would sit at my desk staring at the screen not knowing that time was even passing. I

Amazing writing, thanks for taking the time out to lay out every detail. It is hard to put yourself into an event like this when you at home sitting on your couch watching it on TV. I watch and see numbers (56 dead) and it is hard to rea

I plus +1'd your comment, I get what you were trying to say, sorry I came across wrong. I was trying to supplement it a bit by saying there are many tiers of UAV's. I was joking about you having crazy crap on your kitchen counter, but ty

by nosequel 15y ago
I won't comment on the UAV in the article, but you'd have to be a pretty wealthy person and have some really weird stuff on your kitchen table to have what is on the global hawk. I won't comment on specifics, but there is nothing simple ab

I'm also very curious about this. Even though this is a cheaper drone, some simple voting scheme should be in place with multiple inertial nav systems. That seems fairly typical in the UAV world.

pharkmillups is the community manager at Basho, so the ";)" might have some meaning.

OMG I'm so excited because it is schema-less! Was there something insightful in that blog post that helped it bump to the frontpage, or is it just because it had MongoDB in the title? Downvote away, but is it too much to ask to upvote mean

Did you read Holman's article? If not, I will reiterate a key point, not all startups make you work insane hours. Lots of them have you work flexible work weeks with the same amount of hours of a regular 9-5 job. I enjoy life, and t

I've read the whole thing at one point in time. I was an embedded programmer for years, and the availability of bash, and the lack of python/ruby/whatever made it pretty much a necessity. Once you grok it, it is a pretty excellent tool for

Jamming the GPS signal is much different than spoofing 3+ GPS satellites. You can buy a 5 watt Russian GPS jammer for fairly cheap, but spoofing GPS, getting it all right is not available on anything publicly for sale. Pretend Iran could g

Sigh, again, modern news gone bad. Computers in the same base and area as the control computers had a virus, but it could not affect the software used to control the planes.

Having worked on drones, I'm not speaking out of turn on them. I didn't work on this particular program (in that case I wouldn't have posted b/c that would be most likely illegal), but similar programs.

Despite all the conspiracy theories you read from news sites, black programs do not outsource to other countries.

Since most people are going with Iran's side of the story being correct, I'll be the counter voice. It is far more likely that the plane did malfunction and it landed on its own and Iran picked it up. I'm not saying it is impossible for t
