Full title is "Former Copyright Boss: New Technology Should Be Presumed Illegal Until Congress Says Otherwise" but HN does not allow more than 80 chars in title.
A horse can't sweat (at least not enought to reduce body temp. sufficiently) and thus can only get rid of the heat through breathing. Eventually it will overheat and either rest or die.
Humans don't suffer from this limitation. If you're curious I suggest you read Born To Run
"I hate to break this to you, but science is not steered by marketing, by "more clicks". It's steered by evidence"
Of course it is. Evidence you get from research which get funded by sparking peoples interest...which can be helped a long way by marketing. But I'll give you that the title was kind of linkbait-y (and funny)
"Not when people are being asked to invest their money, no. When that's going on, I get dead serious."
I assume people would actually read the project description before giving their money away.
I am the originator...and I didn't change anything
An often used approach is to think of and feel your entire body. You start with the pinky toe on one foot. You just focus everything on the toe and try to "feel it". When you believe you can eel it you move on to the next toe, eventually to the foot, the lower leg and so fourth. In this way you move through your entire body in detail just concentrating on what you can feel. It usually works for me when my mind is overflowing with thoughts and I can't sleep.
I did Astanga yoga (also refered to as power yoga) for many years. Such a class would consist of some 10 - 20 students and 1 - 2 instructors. In this form of yoga at no time do you close you eyes (expect for the final relaxation time).
Contrary to what you might think this particular form of yoga is very very psychically hard. Although you move slowly you are never still in a relaxed position. You move a lot of small muscles and carry your own weight for 1.5 - 2 hours.
The concentration needed takes all your focus until you know the series of movement of the back of your hand. For me this took about a year. After this I would occasionally slip into a kind of mindlessness. I would "come back" and be conscience about this mindlessness at some point near the end of the session. It very much felt like 1.5 hours had passed in an instance. I would not be able to recall any detail or anything the instructors have said and I would feel immensely relaxed and full of energy. It was a great sensation.
I suspect this has something to do with how you breath during yoga. It kind of resembles the way you breath when you are deep at sleep. It takes a long time to learn and I have a feeling that the breathing is actually the most important part of yoga.
Besides swimming this is by far the best workout I have ever done. Being a programmer it does wonders for a body which spends most of the time sitting down in an office chair. If you get the chance I recommend that you try it out. You will be very surprised how hard it is - and how rewarding it is.
What an arrogant comment. Can you tell us what it is you dislike so much about outlook and why, instead of inferring that the user base is unenlightened?
Math and Applied Math is more than numbers and math for the sake of math. It is a way to bring your level of abstract thinking higher - much the same way learning languages does.
Math is so much more than algebra and calculus. It will teach you pattern recognition and deduction - two highly sought after skills in engineering - but can be applied to any profession.
If anything I believe we should bump up the level of math that high school children learn.
I generally use Friday for all business related task. No programming allowed unless it's a critical bug.
I'd actually come to enjoy spending most of the day doing my finances, answering emails, cleaning out the inbox etc. All in a relaxed manner - and the weekend then takes of with a good conscience.
The easiest position to take when disagreeing with someone is to stick a label on the opposition as if this justifies that you should not take their argument seriously.
I for one think he has a point and if you don't please come up with something better than name calling.
Every question I ever asked on the SE network have been closed by over zealous mods that doesn't want debatable questions...which makes it kind of useless for generic discussion. But I'll give it a try once more.
I am currently trying to figure out a more clever way to deploy my code. I would love if you would share some thoughts on some general strategy and possible tools. I am using jenkins and git.
1. Like modules which are temp. disabled for instance. You could argue of course that these modules should then not exist in the production branch. Also reference images, project notes etc.
2. I could do that but I'm trying to learn how to do it properly...as in I imagine there would be a better way for this. When the DB (hopefully )grows to a considerable size then I take it this approach is not feasible.
The project is ongoing and I lost track of the hours many years ago. 5K users! Ha - I wish :) I was thinking about my general project setup which is described in the initial question...I'm just wondering whether there would not be a more structure way to solve this problem.
