One problem is that people think about seniority as expert level in something.
In my terminology, when you are a senior you need to be a near expert in whatever you call yourself a senior within.
If that's .NET/C# like the author refers to, you must know how all (the esoteric) features of the language (e.g C#) behaves, you must know IL, WinDBG for advanced debugging and the things along those lines.
So many developers claim something that they are absolutely not, which is experts or senior in a technology.
It's IMO much harder to become an expert in something than to learn a subset of a set of technologies. Much harder actually.
I would class your definition as expert rather than senior. It's a level above what I'd expect.
Then again seniority has many dimensions. I often see a lot of senior devs who have mid level skills or mindset but they have become domain experts or experts in the product and seniority is conferred that way. I don't necessarily think that is wrong or undeserving either. I guess if we are talking absent any business/domain knowledge then seniority is judged more closely off raw technical familiarity. For me it's about system design/architecture. Having a strong set of principles that guide your decisions etc.
ohhh I see what's going on here. since you cloned the demo, you need to use postsFolder: 'demo/posts' and pagesFolder: 'demo/pages' since they are located inside the demo folder. The demo is setup slightly different than a standard setup since it's in the subfolder.
Also make sure you are on editing the config.js gh-pages branch as this is the branch Github uses for hosting. If you want to use the code you have on master, just merge master into gh-pages. If you have any more issues, feel free to email me.
I stumpled on a conversation about foreign food once and still laugh when i think about it. None of the listed _foreign foods_ from countries i know well enough even existed there. It was all just typical american food.
If you're used to bottled water, tap water is different in taste, of course.
But we don't drink bottled water in Scandinavia because our tap water is of great quality, unlike a lot of other places.
The tap water in Copenhagen varies a lot. Depending on the plant your hooked up too. It can be very chalky and it can be very smooth. Strangly enough this is not throughout the rest of the country. Copenhagen water is probably the worst compared to the rest of the country.
Jumping in the harbor is okay, but it's far from being as clear as going to the beach.
The Band isn't "useless", but it's more of an activity/lifestyle level fitness tracker. I don't know why anything would have convinced you otherwise.
Of the continuous HR tracking general-purpose devices, Band v1 was better than the competition at the time [1], but things have progressed significantly in the past year (everyone's building their own PPG stacks w/ multi-wavelength LEDs now).
If you need ANT+ and more advanced tracking of course you'll need a more specialized device. You won't get powermeter support on a Garmin watch until you get into their triathalon range, like the $450 Forerunner 920XT. The tradeoff there is that there's no optical HR/continuous HR support. For Garmin, optical HR is only on the newest FR235, which doesn't have powermeter support either - that doesn't make it "a fun gadget for a teenager" - power meters are specialized, expensive (is there any <$800?) devices for a single activity. If you know that you need support for it, you should know what you need to look for, but don't expect the majority of people to care about it, especially since it's obviously not the Band's target market.
I will say the thing that's a real shame is that there's no of the "pro" fitness device manufacturers (Polar, Garmin, Suunto, TomTom) that has 1) built anywhere near a decent API/platform for consolidating fitness data (something that MS, Fitbit, Jawbone, etc have done a much better job at) or 2) at the very least, allow multiple of their own devices to work together - ie, Garmin now has a decent activity tracker w/ the Vivosmart HR (no GPS) coming out, and a whole range of more serious/specialized fitness trackers, but you can't seamlessly use and sync both into Garmin Connect. That's just embarassing (also, Garmin charges a $5K fee for API access. wut?)
BTW, for those seriously interested in their fitness gadgets, I recommend visiting, which has great reviews and an interested community, although sadly, not a forums: http://www.dcrainmaker.com/
I have the first version of the band, and the heart rate monitor seems to be quite accurate - I used it any my old Polar watch (where you wear a band around your chest to monitor your heart rate) and found that they typically only varied by a couple of beats per second, and the only time the band shows major fluctuations is if you don't have it snug enough so it can properly monitor the rate.
It works just fine for me both for strength training and running, and I'd certainly recommend it to others.
I had some issues with the heart rate monitor on the first band. I accept that it was likely user error (my fault) but a few times during a normal exercise routine it reported heart rate values well outside the where my heart rate was (or should be)
A small car-less resort town that makes its money in no small part by providing tourists with a pleasant experience isn't really a model for cities. (And it's a pretty mobbed place at the popular times of year.) If you just want to move someplace quiet with Internet access there are lots of options.
There are a few villages in the Swiss alps with no cars or very limited use of cars. In one I visited, a hotel owner picked up guests and their luggage from the gondola using something like a golf cart. It worked well - low speed, smaller, less dangerous, quieter, etc.
The choice to have kids in the first place is a purely individual choice. For some, it may be incredibly important. For others, I think it's perfectly acceptable to opt out of the whole thing.
Once you've had the kids, however, I'd suggest that most startups (perhaps not absolutely all) are objectively less important than making sure your kids grow up to be decent, empathetic, constructive members of society – for whatever definition of society you choose. It may be tough for your kid to grow up to change everyone's world, but it's really easy to let one grow up to destroy someone's world, and preventing that is the job you took on when you decided to take the step of having a child that may one day interact with mine.
