Putting your head beneath water also has a calming effect. And just listening to air bubbles while you're focusing in swimming technique is a great stress reliever (for me).
As a side (and anecdotal) note, you still can have bad form while walking due to previous injuries or bad posture. So if you experience lower back pain while walking (as I have in the past) check some videos on good walking technique on youtube or consult with an expert.
If you're never going to use this, it's a nice reading anyway. Goes over their major concerns, their problems with other companies/OSS groups and the design of their solution.
As a side note, I was very impressed with the ReadSpeaker solution they implemented when you select a paragraph of text. Didn't know that product/company.
"A good directive is not application specific" is a very generalist statement. You should encapsulate DOM manipulation in a directive, so even if it's not as reusable as ng-repeat, if you have to manipulate the DOM it's the way to go as well.
Once again, we'll have large amounts of people in need of re education to learn new abilities for jobs that might not exist today. It's interesting as well what automation might do to economies with large work forces supported by governments.
I understand the concerns brought up in this thread as I experienced some of them myself in the past; but what good open source/free software can you recommend to replace OpenX?
I can't find anything related to the response headers the server can send to the client, and the OP site just serves responses with content-length, content-type and server. Anyone?
Once you learn to jump quickly between words, lines, etc. and change whole blocks of text with a few strokes you discover another dimension of vim that's very hard to replace with other tools.
I remember being a kid and asking my parents to drive me to the local observatory. We stood there for a couple of hours just to peek at the telescope for a minute. I think I'll never forget the fascination I had and how amazed I was.
Your sidebar is going crazy on me. I see like ten php warnings and one fatal error, all with php paths and a stack trace. You shouldn't have those settings on in a production server.
On the other hand, I really enjoyed the post and the slides.
I really liked they mention that although Apache is not as efficient at handling a large number of concurrent conections and uses more memory, it's still the preferred web server for a number of reasons.
I would have liked to know which version of Apache and which MPM they used.
I think what gets throttled is the CPU, so if your instance isn't consuming too much CPU then you're fine. I believe that because he's using Varnish and a cache plugin he's not hitting the DB often, thus serving static content most of the time.
After reading the news, I keep thinking "aren't they missing something?". Can't they seize this audience that come to the site to buy stuff? Maybe a spin-off from the original kickstarter, specially tailored as a sales platform.
