you can get the same effect with whatever is a plus lens for you, though. So if your normal rx is -1.5, do close work without glasses.

With plus lens therapy, you only wear the plus lens while doing close work. If you were wearing the plus lenses while looking more than a few feet away, you wouldn't be doing plus lens therapy.

DHH said there are things about the "large tent" aspect of rails that are annoying. That's not the same thing as being unhappy with the overall direction of the project.

Are you implying that there wasn't controversy over the Big Dig? I remember plenty.

The second doesn't follow from the first. At most, you could say that people MAY calculate that running a tor relay is no longer worth it, but you could also say that without bringing up the (almost completely unrelated) daycare example.

If only that were true! My first employer was a large organization that explicitly embraced the waterfall methodology that we all rightfully deride.

Took me a couple months to reliably understand my first landlord in Boston, a 3rd or 4th generation American of Italian ancestry.

Unless there are multiple secured domains hosted on that IP address, in which case knowing the domain would be extra information.

Even if your UI is all in JS, Rails still saves a ton of work as an API server compared to Sinatra.

Training should only cause physical agony if:

1) you have a serious, unaddressed medical condition (please seek help!)

2) you're trying something far beyond your normal activity level. There's no rush, work up gradually and your body will adapt. If a walk around the block is a challenge, start there. Repeatable training sessions over time is what makes change, not beating yourself up in the name of 'health'.

2-3 hours a day x 5 days a week -- 10-15 hrs -- is a huge amount of time to spend on weights.

A Starting Strength routine shouldn't take more than 3-4 hours a week, and you'd be moving way more than your bodyweight.

Or, if you can find room in your dwelling for a barbell and plates, Pavel's Power to the People program would take a total of 2-3 hours a week. Again, you'd be developing strength, rather than endurance.

Having said that, if you've found something you're happy with, cool. The routine you actually do beats a theoretically superior routine you don't get around to.

This is the line of reasoning Taleb criticizes. I haven't digested his criticism fully enough to fairly summarize it, but I think it's worth a look.

If you liked Millionaire next door, let me recommend Nassim Nicholas Taleb's "Fooled by Randomness" for counterpoint.
