> So the main argument in the article is the claim that your total energy expenditure is more or less constant, and independent of "exercise". In the sense that if you spend 500kcal on running, your body will "not do" something else it would have done otherwise (e.g. stress about stuff) that would have cost 500kcals.

> In other words it challenges the idea that if you run today and not tomorrow, your TEE on day 1 will be 500kcal higher than day 2. The claim is that TEE on both days will be the same.

That's wild. Running a marathon will easily burn north of 2000kcals. That's a lot of "something else" the body will have to "not do" to compensate for.
Not really. In this case there is also a huge serving of sunk cost fallacy: how will we cope if Tim leaves?

What unique value does Tim bring to Apple that someone else can’t? Apple has been missing Steve Jobs’ pedantic attention to detail for a while, perhaps Apple would actually be better off with someone else? But they aren’t going to try because they don’t want to spend the effort looking.

TEE is what the article discusses measuring, not the energy burned during the exercises but the total in the day. The data in the referenced studies indicate the body compensates for the calories burned running by cutting back in energy use elsewhere.
Isn't it anaerobic exercise, though, and from what I remember to lose weight you want aerobic exercise?
Precisely this.

Yes but in numbers it is way more. If I bike for an hour I burn 700-1000kcal . Thats not 15 but 50% of the dayli calorie intake… i am no expert btw. My understanding is that the problem is more that after 20 minuts of sport, at a certain heart rate, is starting to burn fat…but not body fat. More free floating fat. And it takes one hour or so to start burning bodymass. So the fuel for one hour sport is what I ate before and not my bodyfat. Another example. I do mountaineering, mostly 1 week walking in the alps for 10h a day. Thats around 4000kcal more burned a day. And there I see instant results with all my friends coming with me . They get thin very fast. Around 500g of body mass a day :)

It does sound plausible, but I wouldn't put too much weight on such Reddit chatter, nor spread such gossiping rumors. That level of indirection ("reddit guy who knows a friend but isn't sure") is worse than "my aunt's neighbor's nephew". Imagine somebody did this about you, that'd suck.
A longtime friend of mine wanted to go into academics instead of business because academics was meritocratic and pure and free of the taint of profit seeking. Years of academia disabused him of that notion, and he decided to go into government service because that was meritocratic and pure and free of profit-seeking and the ills that afflicted academia.

He discovered to his chagrin that government service was all politics.

It was kinda brutal to his notions of meritocracy.

The thing about business, though, is that failure to make a profit has a way of clearing out the deadwood and "purifying" the behavior of the business.

I had a click through your test widget, 2 small updates that I think could make it feel so much smoother:

1) - Slow fade in is annoying and is just a lag on inputting the feedback.

2) - From what I can tell it doesn't move to the next 'slide' until it receives a response from the server which again feels really slow, if possible move it to the next slide immediately whilst it's sending messages to / from the server in the background.

Great looking product though!

Most science articles I've seen, since times immemorial, provide some background for the researchers or the study subjects.

At what point it becomes "too much fluff" or "padding for extra ads", I couldn't tell you, probably sites have article minimum word requirements to account for the second part.
I seem to be reading this differently from most people here. To me, this post reads like someone who's hard to work with. He listed his race first, coloring the entire rest of the story, and then he went on to air the seemingly confidential advice his president gave him in good faith.

It's also a bit puzzling that he didn't realize that "being liked" is a valuable skill, and dismisses it as "I thought it would only be on merit, rather than any other pesky things like working well with people", as if that doesn't factor into merit.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was his personality that lost him the position, instead of his race.

Are jet engines really that fussy with the fuel? Traditional gasoline Otto engines need high octane fuel because the fuel is injected before compression, so the gasoline should not spontaneously combust even at high compression rates.

Diesels are less strict since the fuel is only injected when it needs to immediately combust. But there are still knocking issues from combustion dynamics. Rudolf Diesel's first engine ran on peanut oil. Ships run on very heavy sulphur rich fuel oil. The range is wide.

But jets? It's a flow process, not back and forth. Historically they were very attractive partly because they were not at all fussy about the fuel they use...
If gasoline was cheap, from first principles one could assume that jets would run just fine with it, with only few modifications.

The comment you are replying to was mostly about meatspace. You don't click links in meatspace, you type them into your browser by hand.

The threat scenario of someone putting a malicious URL on an official-looking document is distinct from someone putting a malicious QR code on an official-looking document as the latter allows all the same malicious URL techniques that work for links while the former involves a human typing out the URL in full (and thus either auto-correcting intentional "typos" or at least having a chance to notice them).

In other words: QR codes allow link spoofing in meatspace. Even if you understand phishing, you might not think to verify that the official looking document with a QR code on it placed in or on the associated official building might be a trap. The mitigation required for this threat scenario is more akin to securing an ATM.

I don't want to sound harsh but nobody needs 500 designers or 500 developers (or - pick your favorites) forever unless they have some real work to do that grows the business. The problem is that managers never let go soldiers from their army (let me use this metaphor) because they have to fight other managers to climb the company ladder. This is probably detrimental to the company but it's not what would they care about and it's ok. At best it's a symbiotic relationship in which they can jump host.
I guess the vision is to have SQLive hooked up to Skip hooked up to React. Then your website is a pure function of your database, and clicks in the UI just mutate the DB, and all the views updates seamlessly.
This is a nice example of "yes, but no" statement. Technically true, the root cause is the same.

But the practical level of threat is nowhere near identical. Typing "www.totallynotafraud5bingonigerialetter.com" manually is something regular people won't do. Too much work, too many typos. Natural laziness acts as a sort of immune system that protects you from getting burnt.

In case of dodgy links in e-mails, e-mail providers of today try to protect the users by deleting or at least flagging suspicious messages. This reduces the threat level by quite a lot.

But as of today, there isn't any protection between you and a malicious QR code.

This a good article. Pretty much sums up everything.

I developed type 1 two years ago as an adult, over 40. It's difficult enough for me, as a former software engineer who has always been decent at doing math in my head. I practically die every other week or so. Just tonight I walked to a bar and barely made it back because I didn't bring enough extra Doritos. Having an infant or toddler with t1 must be nuts. In addition to all the factors mentioned here, I read a medical article a while back which asserted that no two doses of insulin affect someone exactly the same. That's my experience too. Struggles with the medical/insurance system make it even more difficult, whether it's the total mess of the US or systems like the British NHS. The entire thing is basically insane.
HSTS and pinning (which isn't used on web any more, because it's too much of a foot-gun) help you be sure that you're really talking to who your computer thinks you're talking to. A password manager (or, better WebAuthn) helps you be sure you're talking to the same site that you were talking to when you set up your account.

If you're on the wrong site, all the validity indicators in the world won't help the misidentification. And it needn't even be a malicious site: I auto-fill my work credentials in part so that I don't have to remember which internal tools take which set of credentials. Which isn't nearly as much of an issue nowadays (with more SSO) as it was a few years ago, but that just makes the last few exceptions all the more difficult to remember.
FB managed to capture successive generations with FB then Instagram. But Tik Tok got the latest and that's the problem. FB can't grow any more because the young generation isn't going to use its products.

But what "social" thing is there after short form video? Something VR related, so FB is going to try and build it in the hope they can snag the generation after tiktok one assumes.
The UK doesn't have Tenure. I think it's true that the academic pressures are similar, there's still not enough secure jobs for those who want them. But it does at least mean that professors have to continue performing to a reasonable standard if they expect to keep their jobs, and this frees up space for new people if they don't.

Yes - there are a number of financial instruments that large producers and consumers can and do use to hedge their risk.

No, the problem is the QR code, not the URL. More specifically, it's the context in which you see the QR code. For instance, one scam is replacing the QR codes on parking meters with another one, linking to a different payment site - https://www.theverge.com/2022/1/12/22879728/phishing-scam-pa...

Even if the QR code wasn't altered, the payment site for a parking meter is going to be some random company you probably haven't heard of. So is the scam site! Both sites will look legitimate (and the proper site is most likely shoddy and half broken anyway!) There's going to be very little that you can use to tell them apart just by going on the URL.

The problem isn't (just) hackers using dodgy URLs to install malware, it's social engineering.

Not on time. You cant lift weihgts for hours. But riding a bike or running goes for at least an hour. Golf burns a lot of calories because it takes 3 hours to complete. And lifting weight is also the wrong „zone“ for burning fat. It only burns avaible sugar. And to have that much fuel one needs to eat much ….

Of course ceasing food intake for 1 year would make anybody lose weight, but you can't tell everyone to run 50 miles a week to lose weight. There are obviously other root causes for obesity.
I think it's easy to feel that way, but any time I've tried to measure this objectively on teams, pairing (I can't say I've ever measured mobbing) comes out ahead, even in terms of raw velocity. There's also knock on benefits down the road as IMO with pairing / mobbing there's less of a tendency to miss edge cases and so you're less likely to have bugs that need to be revisted, which is an enormous cost savings.

Hi Matt,

I just proposed the exact same thing to a sibling commenter. I plan to add Littlefs to the next issue of Embedsys Weekly. If you feel confortable to share your experience with my readers on 3/4 sentences it would be fantastic.
There are a few conferences in my field that, for some reason, use Teams, and a number of UK universities seem to have been pushed into using it. It is bad enough that one warned everyone that, if their university used Teams, to please provide a non-university email address, because the university using Teams would likely prevent the university email address from being used to log in to the conference.

For the actual talks, of course, most of these conferences use Teams to send out Zoom links. Using Teams for those would be a disaster.
Hmm I have trouble believing that. If you eat less and put yourself into a caloric deficit, your body is going to start using up fat and to a certain degree muscle, that's just how it works and your body is no exception. If you work out during a deficit, your body will try to retain muscle and use more fat instead. Gaining muscle in a deficit is possible, but only in small amounts, if at all.

> quality of eating habits within that period

To me this sounds like you aren't actually changing the amount of calories that you eat, just the quality of them. Eating 2000 calories of McDonalds or 2000 calories of high quality food does not matter (or barely matters) for losing/gaining weight. If 2000 calories is under your TDEE, you can eat 2000 calories of cheesecake and would still lose weight (but very unhealthy).

What I see often is people claiming stuff like "I can't lose weight" or "I have a slow metabolism", but they never actually bother counting how much they eat, and because of that have no understanding of what high-calorie and low-calorie food is. (For example if I'd ask how much calories an average hamburger or a glass of cola has, you'd likely have no idea if you haven't counted calories before).

It was the same for me, once I started counting I realized that I was not eating according to the goals I had set at that time, and that the food I ate was actually much much less in calories than I thought it was.
To me that answer makes you look like the kind of person that compares apples and oranges.
Maybe a weird design decision but it never bothers me. I don't use search a lot, but when I do I just press End on a desktop browser to immediately scroll to it, or on mobile I fling the page all the way down to the bottom. Doesn't bother me, personally.

I also kind of appreciate the fact it doesn't take up space above, so the search field is a little bit wider than what is normally available in other sites where it is on top.
> Your body burns incredibly more energy just "being there" than you burn moving about.

Bullshit. My body goes through 1600-ish kcal on an idle day.

If I go out on a 4h steady bicycle ride (= 100km), I go through 2000 kcal on ride alone. That’s much more than my body burns just being there.
I wish that were true, but I disagree.

With UI/Design it isn't as bad as with software development in general, but in both cases you need ongoing work or your product gets outdated. Things get deprecated. A website that worked fine many years ago might now not be fine. Many people use phones and the UI might not fit anymore. It might not use SSL so the browser will show ugly warnings or might even stop working completely. Security fixes need to be applied or the website gets hacked. The underlying webserver / platform gets outdated and the provider stops supporting it eventually - or just makes it more expensive. I could go on.

Do you need 500 developers for that? Well, that depends on the size. Maybe, maybe not. But your post gives this vibe of "build it and be done with it" and with software that just doesn't work, even if the business is not growing at all.
This feels like the library vs framework distinction, which I think is a useful way of looking at it. The Internet is great as a library, looking things up when you need to. When it turns into a framework, encompassing everything you do, that's when things have gone wrong.

This article is a great advertisement for turning it back into a library.
