Ok, I'm not a big fan of ads here at Hacker News, but actually you kind of proved me wrong as I'm genuinely curious and very tempted to give it a try :-). It looks like a book that could help me become a better dev. I'd probably be using FP via F# at the end of the day, but it's more about the FP mindset, that I think I still don't have.

Anyway, buy it somewhere else! (I will do ...). I know, Amazon is super cheap and convenient, but we need competition and diversity.

I'm just asking myself if this belongs to hacker news. When does something deserve to be posted as "Show HN"? Does the link to what someone wants to show us lead to a rich discussion about tech, start-up, programming, business and other topics of general interest here?

Is it a interesting website, that we can experience and talk about? Is it code? Is it an interesting business idea?

In this case, I think this "Show HN" post is advertsing only.

Sitting in front of a Dell U2713HM being perfectly happy. Sharpness, fontsize, movies ... seems all perfectly.

But OK, ask me again when I will have been using these resolution monsters for a week :-). If ever, I wish :-).

Hmmm, impressive. But I (honest question) wonder how this will handle blu rays or other full HD content at full screen? All those pixels need to be interpolated an 60 (50) Hz ...

Highly peronal: I hate all the marketing retina HD bla bla shit from Apple, but I love these beautiful iMacs. I want one :-).

To clarify my context: For a given effort, the body always uses anaerobic and aerobic systems. The higher the fraction of the energy from the anaerobic system, the higher the lactate production rate. The lower the lactate production rate, the more energy comes from burning fat.

Lactate can be further used to create ATP, but this process needs oxygen as well. Hence, a good VO2max helps to get rid of lactate, which was created in the anaerobic process. When measuring the lactate threshold by solely the lactate concentration, it's difficult to distinct between high production / high reduction and low production rates. Good VO2max can conceal weak fat burning abilities. Therefore often the lactate production rate by a given effort (typically maximum effort) is used as indicator for the fat burning capability.

(Hope that makes sense, English is not my native language :-) ...)

Yes, apples to oranges, but if we use total energy requirement and duration of a competition as indicator, than a typical road cycling race requires much more endurance than a marathon.

This is a classic one-day race, > 5000 kcal, > 6 hours.

Unfortunately this article misses the third of the three components to improve endurance performance, which is lactate production rate (indicator for fat burning: the lower the more energy is produced by burning fat).

Two athletes with the same VO2max and efficiency can have vastly different performances in a marathon. The body's VO2max potential can be used by solely burning carbs, which supply is limited (about 2000 kcal) whereas fat supply is practically unlimited (1 kg has about 7000 kcal. As a marathon requires more energy than is available as stored carbs, the ability to burn fat is a major factor in marathon performance.

Thank you. Good luck for us iPhone users that we won't need to buy a new phone :-).

In terms of 80 % functionality I think all three are quite close. In terms of general features I think Android is already lightyears ahead. But I need a solid day-to-day phone with consistent usablitity concepts and I'm very tempted to give WP a try as it seems to be the cleanest here. Let's see what WP 10 brings ...

> Diligent, thoughtful journalism doesn't happen for free

A free to use website (with ads) doesn't mean the journalists aren't payed. Most of the time, they are.

Generally, there's nothing wrong with payed websites, but it makes it a bit frustrating for people at a discussion board for web articles. Especially when there are users who really can't afford them (from countries with less income than North America or Europe) and the same information is available on free to use websites.

Documentation?

Right, but I think he also has building websites in mind. So, both, I guess.

They've created LightSwitch. LightSwitch is also a great example for the usual outcome of using RAD tools: You often come pretty soon to the point where the provided abstractions are lacking some functionality or performance. The customer / user doesn't care how the software is built, it's compared to the greatest there is.

I'll be excited when I see it.

Light Table was announced to change the way we're writing code, too. But the execution didn't quite match the vision.
