We learned the hard way that baby could be colic (with increased crying during evening hours) due to intolerance to cow’s milk/soy (via mother’s milk). It took us couple of months to get there (first stopped milk products and subsequently soy) and I wish we had known earlier. I’ve been meaning to write a blog post with the hope to help someone run through these possible causes as part of diagnosing the colic crying early on.

I find this article funny.

>Though it would seem to follow that consuming less fat would lead to being less fat, that’s not quite what the science says, at least when it comes to dairy—even if whole milk is more caloric than skim.

It mentions about some scientific reason for it but then talks about bunch of high level case studies and that's all.

On a side note, I find most of these case studies a scam, where they exaggerate and manipulate numbers to make it sound scary or utterly interesting for reader's attention.

I think programmer tried to be defensive by ignoring an edge case. He either was lazy in searching for its documentation (<= 1999 you know) and tried to be over-smart to avoid "Out of Range" exception in test/production. Or he didn't consider looking at documentation like some of us do. He may have given it a shot by running it several times to see if it actually generates the number provided as an argument.

Ask HN: How to Automate testcases for web apps across OS/Devices/Browsers.

We've a web application which is gradually increasing it's span of browsers and OS/devices compatibility. It brings us the need to have proper regression suite automation for the same. It will be of great help to me and probably other HNers if you share your experience to implement such automation suites. Particularly the frameworks that have proved successful to you and other related...

Title of this post reminded me to checkout my linkedin account(after so long time).. :-)

Ask HN: Average time per day you spend on HN(with schedule).

I got to know of HN about 6 months back and past that there's not a day that goes without opening HN several times. While it is helping me to remain upto date with current(geeky) afairs, it's also eating my productivity. I've it tagged everywhere IE, Firefox, phone browser. Would like to understand the schedule fellow HNers follow to effectively and efficiently consume the content here.

Sharing explicitly versus gaining access to your data are completely separate things. Moreover, how about pushing your professional data to these sites? I don't want to use separate tools for ideas which I'm fine if someone steals them and which not..

This looks like a great tool.. but for these kind of sites, I always feel uncomfortable to signup and then store my personal information in their databases. I could easily end up giving them my personal ideas and my professional work related stuff.. We really don't know who is looking at our data on other side and what kinda security measures(if any) they are taking to secure the same. Your thoughts?
