The way I read it, it's poking a hole in the "you are what you eat" adage that people take at face value for "if you eat fat you get fat".

By extension of this adage, then, if you eat fat you get fat. If you eat carbs you get starchy, and if you eat protein you get muscley. We know the second two aren't true, but the first one sticks for some reason.
It is an interesting idea. I would recommend you to start and then make the .gitignore grow with things you don't need. Your list is already big enough to start. Looking forward to see how your experiment goes.

I've never been to India and don't understand the market too well. What would motivate someone to use your service instead of something like Airbnb? Is Airbnb the most popular service in India? Is this about short-term rentals (by the week or day) or longer term rentals (by the month)?
The mayor issue IMHO is the dependency to Google Cloud Messenger as the only available push notification system for android devices and its dependency to Google Play store.

This depends on how you manage your computer. If you put all your personal projects in your home directory this could be a pita. Really what you'll need to do is to make heavy use of gitignore. Obviously bash_history changes on every command so that may be one you want to avoid tracking. You may also want to take a look at dotfiles repos on github, which are meant for actively tracking your configuration files instead of seeing what new files have been added.

If I wanted to delete dave from the list I could grab it and slide it away or say "list delete last".

> so many factors at play like lack of alternatives you don't take into account

It looks as though there are no real alternatives now but that wasn't the case when Facebook was starting out. It was much smaller than MySpace, and Google's Orkut got bigger faster, for example. Later, it had competition from many other rivals including Google+.

There's only a "lack of alternatives" to Facebook's UI because Facebook already won all those battles.

I went to college in Brazil, here the class load is fixed for most universities (ie: you don't choose what classes you will go, they will hand to you a list of the ones you are signed up for each semester).

Although the classes themselves took half a day (started at 7:30, finished at 13:00) the coursework we had to do was incredibly high, teachers never coordinated, they just assumed that you had all free time of the world.

In one semester I had to quit my job, and slept to little that I got incredibly sick, my apartment reeked sugar, because I was drinking coca-cola and energy drinks so fast that empty bottles were piling up near my computer, I slept on average 4 hours per day, and went from 110kg to 125kg

And mind you, this was to do coursework, NOT any kind of paying work, when I finished university my net worth was incredibly negative, right now it STILL is negative, I am living with my parents right now to dedicate 100% of my income to debt paying, and still don't see any perspective of actually paying it (specially because when I consider the past year or two, the average INTEREST I had to pay, was higher than my average income).

Maybe among the people who think deep about those issues. You'd be surprised if you talked to the general population. It's "deregulate all the things!" but then they complain that the food they eat is crap and companies keep screwing them over.
The reasons why Facebook doesn't improve its horrible interface have to do with incredible technical bloat, and their userbase being stringently resistant to change. It's the type of person who won't start using something else until what they have doesn't work at all anymore. I predict an exodus if they tried to modernise.

Even so much as flattening out some of those beveled edges and gradients would be enough to throw people off.

"Ugly and messy" doesn't have to be a part of the equation when what you want is "dense." It's possible to have minimal, clean, dense design. With lots of buttons and features, beneath a simple UI.
The compliments.dk site used as the opening example might be "beautiful", but the first thing that struck me was the unreadable white text on partially-white background (e.g. the "products" and "menu" text). That's looks like a case of misplaced design priorities to me, and is simple enough to "fix" e.g. with a faint drop-shadow around the text (I say "fix", since it wouldn't help user agents which don't implement the relevant CSS)
Most of those fresh fruit and veggies are man-made, too. Modern tomatoes, corn, squash, broccoli (check out what we did to wild mustard plants: https://nicolecooks.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/f2104.jpg), etc. are nothing like what's found in nature. Your wine's probably closer to naturally occurring than they are - we get drunk squirrels from fermented fruits every year.
You should define your own commands and then use them, in preference to directly using markup.
For example, at the start of my essay on non-standard analysis, I define some commands:

- "\near" as a synonym for "\simeq"

- \newcommand{\hyp}[1][\mathbb{R}]{\prescript{*}{}{#1}}

- \newcommand{\powerset}{\mathcal{P}}

This way you can change the notation easily and all-at-once if you need to, as well as making the semantics clear to the source-reader.

I don't think I'd consider either of those man-made in the sense of being heavily processed: coffee is simply roasted coffee beans with hot water poured over, and wine is pressed grape juice allowed to ferment.

Is the "narrative" qualifier there to exclude documentaries?

I paid to stream the Minecraft documentary (http://www.2playerproductions.com/projects/minecraft). I think that is the only documentary my kids ever got excited about watching.
Disclaimer: I'm not an expert on this, just describing my own experience (which may be subjective/biased/completely misinterpreted by me).

If you're mostly sedentary in a first-world country, going off sugar/carbs-dominated diet brings your insulin sensitivity to its natural levels (which, very probably, it hasn't been since the moment you started eating adult food). For me this had the amazing effect of becoming more alert and productive mentally and more aware of my body physically. As an athlete, I suddenly discovered that I can be underperforming because I'm lacking fuel, and not because I'm tired, and that if I "fuel up" by eating carbs, I can expect a surge of energy that will allow me to perform well. Needless to say, the discovery was amazing, I felt like a finely tuned sports car or something.

Back when I was eating a regular western diet, my insulin sensitivity was low, and "injecting" fast carbs made me drowsy, not full of energy.

Needless to say once I experienced that new state, I got hooked, so sticking to good eating habits haven't required tremendous will power for me. Getting there, though, did.
> I don't really like Desktop Linux anymore

I used KDE 3 and Gnome 2 for many years (Windows also). and switched to LXDE/OpenBox after KDE 4 and Gnome 3 turned out to be unusable.

Although my current desktop is very simple it has become one of my best desktops ever because it can be configured to the extreme. It is very suitable for developers who want a clean workspace which doesn't get in their way like all the other modern desktops (Win 8+ also) which focus more on eye candy than usability.
"I think what the comment was trying to point out"

It's easy to understand what the comment was trying to point out, because there are similar comments in ~80% of HN discussions. That's the issue.
I really question this logic though. As someone who played with a large group of friends from Beta to TBC, none of us would even consider picking up WoW in its current state. Obviously this is a very small sample size, but I talked to many people when playing on Nost that felt the same way.

I do not see how they would be splitting the userbase, when many of the players of this server wouldn't even consider returning to Blizzard's current product.

"Nobody could have predicted, it is said, how the food manufacturers would respond to the injunction against fat – selling us low-fat yoghurts bulked up with sugar, and cakes infused with liver-corroding transfats."

It's interesting the author notes trans-fats as a by product of the injuction against fat, which couldn't be further from the truth.

Trans-fat has been around since the 1900's and was used widely as a substitute for butter when it was in short supply during WWII. Remember Crisco? Mom's in the 1970's used it for everything, including baking and cooking. It wasn't until the 1990's that the FDA finally put warnings out regarding partially hydrogenated oil.

The fact is, trans fats had been around a LONG time before before the government decided to start saying that it was bad for your health. Hell, it took them another decade before they made the recommendation to stop using trans fats after the 1980 guidelines came out.
Them's fightin' words. If the Gettysburg Address is poor writing, life has no meaning.
But if they were serious about making a go at it, they'd, say, sell the motherboards and CPUs at cost and/or perhaps twice what Xeon systems go for. But everything I've heard before and in this discussion puts them at $3K per socket (I think for a barebones system), and that's a non-starter for something that isn't 10 times better than the competition (a common metric for what it takes to get attention when there's an entrenched competent competition).
I actually like the fact that NeoVim is working on VimL to Lua translation so you can write plugins in Lua. Emacs has had LISP from the beginning. Maybe we can soon fight back with a real programming language.

How will you go about drawing "joe" and "mary"? Is it faster than typing? Note that you can't always select stuff from dropdowns - you often have to create new symbols and values.

How fast they can track back and correct a mistake made three words before? Or take the last sentence and make it a subnode of the one before that? Speech is not flexible enough for the task unless you go full AI and have software that understands what you mean.

I really think anyone who doesn't have a really great network or feels like their part of a community would benefit greatly from using it. It's not just about meeting a few people, or make a couple friends, it's about building a really powerful community.

However, the people I think would benefit most are the ones who have recently moved to a new city or even a new neighborhood in the same city and don't know many people nearby. Kids coming out of college would be an easy target, but middle and old age people also tend to be the most socially isolated.

What I wish was explained to me at a younger age is the fact that there's nothing "special" about the black keys on a piano.

Musical keys are "mathematically" interchangeable. The physical keys that correspond to notes not in the key of C major (alternatively, A minor) are colored black for practical reasons. That is, for knowing one's place while playing the piano.

Fortunately I sorted this out in college, and I've enjoyed making music for my own enjoyment since.

>If man made it, don't eat it

That's way too simple. It's a kind of naturalistic fallacy as applied to food.

If you think your produce area is where you should be getting your calories (not disagreeing), it fails the "if man made it, don't eat it" test spectacularly. Basically everything you see there has been shaped by man. A (stunning) example: one species of plant, brassica oleracea, has been selectively (i.e., artificially) bred to produce a wide range of different cultivars including, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, broccoli, kohlrabi, brussel sprouts, and more. NONE of these produce items are "natural."

Getting back to the linked article a bit, if you think fructose is bad, you should know it is very natural. Obviously it occurs in fruits and honey has more fructose than refined sugar and about the same as high fructose corn syrup.

(As a side note, I'm of the opinion we should be engineering foods to make them better for us. We as a species have been doing similar things to our food for thousands of years.)
> costs for increased health care

Smokers are net over-contributors in most countries, cigarette taxes vastly exceed health care costs, in no small part to shorter lifespans of smokers and often quick deaths.

That's the exact opposite point I made though. Fossil constrains me in how I work and how I accomplish certain tasks -- with no benefit. Neither Git or Mercurial do that. What Fossil can do, both Git and Mercurial can do better. So why would I choose Fossil?
That's an really important point.

No real difference between a "Dark Age" where info is cloistered for the few and a blindingly "Light Age" where the signal is buried in noise of conflicting interests.

The beauty of this puzzle for most people can be solved with a modicum of info, simple maths and listening to their body. Treating indigestion, constipation and other irritants with magic pills only masks the symptoms of bigger problems, most of which can be cured by diet & physical activity. Of course, as always, YMMV.

Default reaction to every setback is to add more PMs, hours etc. It is a gargantuan mess, 100s of millions of dollars worth of pure crap really. Ultimately that cost is beared by society as a whole. Sometimes when I walk past them I am quite confident humanity is doomed.

There is a quite powerful crawler and scraper engine. We developed it for internal needs at happystayapp.com. We used it as a hotels reviews meta search and hotels aggregator from sites like booking.com, expedia, etc.

But I'm feeling it's a bit underused and I'm thinking how else it can be used?

It supports many of features modern web scraping tools have. The engine is scalable and easy extendable.

The technologies:
- MongoDB
- C#
- Microsoft Azure
- JSON

Where and how else the technology can be used? Any ideas?

Note-Ify Notes Now for Mac OS X
I wouldn't describe TeX as a "standard", but it's pretty hard to argue that it's "closed": TeX is arguably the best documented program in history!

Knuth wrote it using his novel "literate programming" technique in which the source code is embedded in the documentation. Every 4-5 lines of source code has roughly a paragraph of explanation. That source/documentation is published for anyone to read as Knuth's "TeX: The Program" book, accompanied by his "TeXBook", a couple hundred pages each.

That documentation has definitely encouraged all the people reimplementing the TeX layout algorithms, for example MathJax and matplotlib for math layout, as well as a number of alternative tex implementations.
