Yes but people shouldn't be running much outside their bodies comfort zone so it should always be pretty efficient for getting your thoughts in order and think. It does for me at least but it only did once my spacial awareness was at a level that I could do things like get out of the way of people and increase or decrease my level on the pavement without much thought. It doesn't happen straight away but develops pretty quickly at least for me. I can do about 12km/hr for 1-2 hours without issue but sprints etc make me have to focus completely on the running so they're no good.

Bit off topic which I know isn't viewed well here but down vote if my comment angers you profoundly.

My sister recently finished a MSc in Robotics and is looking for work in the UK for Dyson or a similar company. If anyone has worked in Dyson or a similar company (established or startup) and would be willing to discuss her options for applying in the industry and provide some guidance could you please e-mail me at hans@hans.is?

That's one of those "It depends" situations. I've reviewed most of the charting libraries that have been posted in this thread and although yes they have come an extremely long way from 4 years ago when we picked Highcharts; all of them would still need a lot of work from our end to add extensions to be able to build all the charts we have in our products using built-in Highcharts options. But like I said it depends, a startup might not want to pay that money but that $3000 for 5 dev Highstock license is way less than the salaries needed for 5 devs to write the custom extensions in order to use something else to meet our needs.

Can't understand why people would downvote this, Highcharts is extremely inexpensive compared to the other costs that go into a commercial product that would require extensive charting and the gained productivity and savings in development time are incredible. Two years ago I migrated a ExtJS web app that had taken 2 years to build to Highcharts + Bootstrap in about a month or two. What amazed me was that for every ExtJS charting extension that had to be written on top of the existing facilities to create more complicated graphs there was a built in option for it in Highcharts or a simple extension in the community forums.

Interesting but I'm very glad I don't need to worry about issues at that a low level in my work.

Have you considered getting the groceries delivered from a real grocery store rather than Uber as per article? I normally get them delivered once or twice a week depending on need and the delivery price is considerably less than my "per hour worth". Also I don't run into things not being available at my local store, I don't buy things on impulse (leading to cleaner living, no crisps etc) and I can arrange for things even at only 30 hours before my chosen time slot.

+1 for meetup.com great site.

But is this really a dyslexic trait? I use this method of reading most of the time by default because it allows me to read much much faster than reading the whole thing out. I often get pissed of at badly written text because of this because it slows me down a lot. For technical text it's often impossible to do this.

Doesn't work for me. Mac Chrome 35. Clicking search does nothing, tried with extensions off too.

On the idea itself I did this myself using R a few months back for the pubs in Islington to schedule meetups with friends when the sun was out for the weekend. Good to have it as a site.

This looks great, assuming it's very useful when you want to do concentrated coding with internet off to avoid distractions. I'm sold, buying this when I get out of work.

Readme, check. Docs, check. Screenshots, nope. Why would you not include that for a gui library?

Yeah this alway made for fun holidays when I was a kid; my dad last name is Ólafsson, my mom's Magnusdóttir, my sister's Hlynsdóttir and mine Hlynsson. Hotel staff often could not get that at all.

Banking != investment banking. I work in asset management I do a 45 hour week most of the time, with very few exceptions.

Agreed I would have gone with SharpShell

Couldn't the same be said about e-mail? Which does hold up in court.

This isn't real, these have not been built.

Congratulation, you don't understand people at all. You wrote all this non-constructive frothy reply without answering the fundamental question holyjaw put forth: > I have literally no clue what your product does even after reading the infographic at the top of the page a few times.

I'm Icelandic and we use yava-script, I find it hard to figure out how yay-va sounds.

Why even bother putting up that page without at least a description + screenshots? Just skip it...

Any chance of a blog post about the issues is detail? Would be interested in hearing more.

Very nice, like it. Already came across some helpful questions and answers.

When my friend who is only 29 now developed a blood clot two years ago (thankfully surgery went fine but the chances weren't good according to the doctor going in); I set up a password protected encrypted disc image with all my login details (1Password), monitary asset information (iBank), contact details (Address book + txt file), instructions for dealing with employer, insurance stuff (life, home, accident), etc that's on a USB stick in my flat and synced to my parents computer via SFTP every month or so.

That way they can get any information they need easily if something were to happen to me by unlocking the disk image with the password they have.

Obviously out of the scope for most people (including article's subject) to set up but a good idea for those of us who are technologically inclined IMO (others may disagree, if so I'd love to hear why).

I fear this will get a lot of "Just say no" comments from people that don't understand that the author is from Pakistan and most likely grew up in a completely different culture than most of us are used to.

And it seems like she's not villing/able to cut of contact with her family as I would maybe do if I were in her place, but I'll never be so it's hard to even imagine what I'd do.

It's also more accurate, ipinfo.io thinks I'm in Enfield whereas freegeoip.net accurately identifies that I'm in London.

Had a similar initial reaction and came to the kid show conclusion too but it didn't make it okay in my book. Loved the idea of the book(s) and it's well put forward but her overacting this 'over the top happy go far' personality in the video was just distracting from the point of the whole thing. The video is targeting sponsors on kickstarter not kids who will read this. I think it would have been better to tone it down a bit and then just go all outboard in the promotional material after the book is done.

Agreed. I often try to make the point that when commenting people in my group should focus more on commenting on WHY and HOW rather than WHAT that is normally easily read from the code.

The hotels will actually keep the card you paid with on file and charge you for the mini bar in a second transaction. I've had it happen quite a bit when I've used the mini bar but the items from the last night hadn't been accounted for in the bill as the cleaners will restock and note down what was taken from the mini bar each day.

I don't really register to the "you have to read all the e-mails" camp but when I send someone an e-mail expecting a reply I at least would like to be semi-sure they've had a chance to see it and it not just drowned in a mountain of unread ones requiring me to seek alternative contact methods.

Note: I don't expect e-mail to be replied to straight away just when there it time, if it's urgent I will most of the time use alternative contact methods.

I guess you might be right. I may be too used to the Icelandic mentality where if they'd notice something like that they'd think "Let's just allow for a sub-subscriber plan and charge them an extra 10% for a 'related plan' but with the same rates but different billing. They get there separation of concerns and we get a 10% extra."

That's a good point, I didn't go to a public one but even then the fees were easily covered by working full time during summer and part time along side uni: http://en.ru.is/studies/tuition-fees/ (~1500USD).

Unfortunately my MSc in the UK wasn't that cheap like that; ~26K GBP (42 USD) still paid my own mobile bill then.
