In these cases, where the term is made up of a combination of a simple verb (set, break, shut, log) plus a preposition (in, up, down, out, off, etc): if it's a verb, it's two words. If it's a noun, it's one word.

Another way to look at it: the verb doesn't magically grow together and apart if you use it in different tenses (past, present, future). "I am setting up" (present) is two words - therefore the "set up" in "I set up a script yesterday" and "I did not set up" also needs to be two words.

For my own personal, non-technical blog that I have kept going since 2006, I added an "on this day" feature that shows posts for today's date (or closest matching) for past years. Collapsed version shows posts from 1, 3, 5 and 10 years ago; expanded version shows all 18 years. It's like a little time machine that gives me little gifts of past posts.

It absolutely is the auditor's job to check that what is reported is "correct". The auditor's task is to check that the company's financial statements give a "true and fair" view of the company’s business.

Auditors are expected to confirm e.g. that inventory counts are correct and inventory valuation is reasonable, that accounts receivable represent actual claims on counterparties that actually exist, that bank accounts listed in the accounts exist and have the correct balance, etc.

The "tap hour, then minute" UI is for setting an alarm. But for timers ("please beep in 5 minutes and 30 seconds") the app still has the old stupid scroll interface.

A book that I have found very useful for both developing new habits and breaking existing unproductive habits is "Self-Directed Behavior" by Watson & Tharp. It's based on scientific research, but the ideas are presented clearly and in a practically useful way. It's also about more than just the introduction or changing of habits - it also helps you analyze them, understand them, measure them, reinforce them, etc.

It appears to be sold as a college textbook so the latest edition is horrendously expensive, but this also means you can easily find used copies of older editions. Mine is at least 15 years old and still very useful.

Nice, but it does not work very well for me (Opera on Mac). It reports the browser and OS correctly, but then it claims I do not have JavaScript enabled (which I do). Also when I click Contact support at the bottom, the page gets dimmed out as if for a dialog, but I see no actual dialog anywhere. So somewhere in your JS code there is a bug that makes it fail in Opera. https://aboutmybrowser.com/2079851324

This seems to be very personal: some people are "moderators" while others are "abstainers". If you want to change a habit, any habit, it helps to know which category you belong to. http://www.happiness-project.com/happiness_project/2009/01/q...

Agreed! It would have been even more helpful if the unit tests showed both the expected result and the actual result. Now I had to guess at what the problem might be (which led to me giving up on the last problem).

What if they're both right, but not for the same population? It doesn't sound unreasonable that different people with different metabolisms would benefit from different diets.

For any kind of self-modification project, I strongly recommend the book "Self-directed behavior" by Watson & Tharp. It's the thinking man's (or woman's) self-help book, with general all-purpose advice for any kind of change. Very practical and very useful.
