That may be so, but being thin dies not equate being healthy. Every body is different though, and such a diet might work for you, while I need a lot more protein and a whole lot less carbs. That being said, whatever works for you or me, doe

I'd expand this to actually take the time to implement (or make yourself) a system to automate said backups and maybe even testing them automagically. You'll probably end up using the same set of scripts for all your beginning projects and

Because if you know your unix and you have the time and experience to quickly setup the stack you need there's no need for a pretty control panel. If I only need ONE VM for something I know it's trivial to setup for me and will probably ver

Not really sophisticated by any means. It's more in the "Good to know, now move along..." territory if you ask me. I guess someone, somewhere will find this tutorial useful though.

I honestly would never work for this guy. I have a C, Python, Java, Ruby background (as in what I've used in past jobs), and I'm working with .Net currently even though I'm a Ruby fan. I find C# and ASP MVC, pretty freaking good, even thoug

Then again that would mean that I have to get offended every time I get a visit from a Jehova's witness that wants to 'cure' my atheism. Believing I'm wrong for not having the same religious believes is their prerogative (an there is absolu

Why is this offensive content? I'm all for gay rights and know a few men and women with homosexual inclinations (and I'm not bothered by it one bit), BUT freedom of expression is as much a right as the ability to choose your own religion or

Well, my other coworkers (some are windows fans, linux fans, osx fans, and one is a total freeBSD nazi) all agree that out of all our workstations, the Windows machines fail the most. Even the Windows fans acknowledge this. All other operat

It doesn't have to be miserable at all. If your profits doubled this year and some employees are the reason for such an increase, then you would be a jerk to play hardball with said employees about salary increases. Now if your company took

I'll gladly take those 2k Eur to provide a day of reading comprehension classes that would help avoid such misunderstandings. :) \ Sebastien's article had little to do with actual money and a lot to do with the implicit value of one's skil

Quality is in the eye of the beholder. That being said, my Windows 7 workstation crashes at least once a week, as does Visual Studio 2010. I just checked my uptime in my OSX workstation and it has been up for 52 days and I've just had one i

I am guessing that the 2.5% that needs under 8 hours of sleep is composed mainly of people in the tech industry. If I sleep under 5 hours I feel a bit groggy all morning, but if I sleep more than 6 ~ 6 1/2 hours, I feel like utter shit all

Of course there is someone making a tablet for you... Apple. The iPad is in no way the BMW in this instance, it's a nice fully loaded Honda Accord (or Civi, whatever floats your boat). Hell there are cellphones that are quite more expensive

Regardless of the actual ratio of people that get it in contrast to those that don't get it, there has to be people that didn't get it and are directly benefited from his 'explanation'. On another point, I immediately knew about what the OP

For what it's worth it worked amazingly fast for me in Panama. It generally takes around 6 to 10 seconds for the sms to arrive from people a meter from myself. Twilio's sms arrived a two or three seconds after I pressed send.

You just didn't get the overall idea of the post. Talking to a woman at the supermarket has the inherent "risk" of being ridiculed, while having the obvious objective upside that it might get you laid - or at least makes you a more confiden

This was ridiculously painful to read. Melodramatic would be an understatement, and for what it's worth, this article has automatically made me decide that if I ever come across anything this person produces, I'm not buying it.

Totally. The reasons men look to prostitution are basically divided into three possible scenarios: 1) They have a significant other and are not getting what they need from the person, but since they don't want to leave the person they look

This is very uncommon from blue collar agencies and downwards, but actually an expected service of more upscale agencies and/or freelancer prostitutes. Really expensive escorts sleep with less men in 10 years than really cheap ones in a yea

It is possible to keep this model working at a scale with a lot more employees. That being said it requires not only the right culture within the company, but the right people. Keep only the creme of the crop employees; stop 'fiscalizing' s

Come on man. What does this have to do with the article? In any case, I have had no such problems with my iphones, so I'd say you either got a faulty unit or maybe it's a service provider issue.

And I'm offended by your general lack of humor and dismissal of the merits of the article (which I did not find that enjoyable) based on something so trivial. I used to think that commenting on HN could not hurt your career, but the smug at

Well the thing is... a company needs to have employees that create value for itself. I was once in the position of telling an employer that he was wrong to want to hire an extra Rails dev when we had a front end guy that had little work at

Oh I agree. The moment you go on a killing rampage to rescue your daughter from the cartels, you justify other people taking action against you to protect themselves. The thing is, there needs to be someone that resigns their rights and doe

Why is it that people insist on calling US citizens Americans? Canadians, Chileans, Brazilians, Panamanians, Colombians, etc are all Americans also, and this move does not apply to them at all. The American population is composed of everyon
