What about insulin sensitivity and different sources of calories. Surely you aren't suggesting that eating a 1k calories of pure protein, pure carbs or pure fat is the same ? Even proiten/carbs/fat branch and have different effects on the metabolism and are required in different amounts for a balanced diet to achieve some desired effect. What about muscle mass vs fat tissue, they burn calories at different rates and require different kind of food to build.

Calories in/out is just extreme oversimplification that doesn't help in the slightest and causes people to starve themselves needlessly because of bad intuition, also risking their health and ultimately achieving the opposite of the desired effect.
I think you have answered your question. If your customers are telling you "adding content is time-consuming" you should ONLY be focusing on solving THIS particular problem.

"Should I increase my prices?" is a "vanity question" ( just like "vanity metrics" (E Ries Lean startup philosophy) >> They do not help you build a better business, they take you away from what is REALLY important) Finding why your customer do not want to spend more time adding content and/or why they consider spending more time adding content is not worth it definitely help.

Good luck.

Not sure I quite understood his rant either, except perhaps he probably has no idea how a browser should behave or be able to accomplish certain aspects of development without it...

Progressive enhancement is not difficult. Just build your site as if there was no Javascript and then add the JS bits. Easy. With all the js libraries about it's even easier these days, use something like yepnope.js and it'll even allow you to load scripts based on what capabilities the browser supports. Progressive enhancements becomes difficult when it's an after thought, maybe when you going into testing and suddenly realise the developer hasn't completely read the specs!

I totally understand for some sites it is completely necessary, but for sites like Twitter and Facebook it should not be necessary. Sure the JS adds a gloss and finish to make the user experience slicker, but there is nothing on there which could not be achieved with plain old html and css...

Also, for some of us we still have to support sites with JS turned off and even (unfortunately) support IE6! It's the requirement of the client and although most likely none of their customers will have JS turned off or run IE6, the corporate big wigs in head office will need to give final approval!
"Surely it couldn't be too hard to obtain copies of all the papers to date and put them online?"

Except that would not help at all with the underlying problem. Scientists need the articles to be easily accessible, up-to-date and citable.

>You fail to account for the variables involved in "calories out".

The study didn't fail to do so, so therefore I didn't.

>Metabolism is controlled in a large way by hormones. For example, extremely undernourished people will slow their metabolism way down in order to preserve what fat reserves are left.

This is a myth as far as western society is concerned. No one in western society not near-death from anorexia needs to concern themselves with this.

> What forces people to eat so many calories that they grow in size is triggered by their hormones generally telling them that they are starving, even if they are not.

This is not true, you've been reading too much keto literature on leptin.

I say this as someone who is a proponent of low-carb diets as a way of promoting satiety and controlling caloric intake.

>So yes, calories in/calories out, but you're not even considering _why_ those calories were consumed in the first place.

I have a whole team of nutritionists working with us, as well as my own personal experience and research, I've gathered quite a bit of experience.

Let me lay out a few things for you.

Low-carb works, anecdotally (key modifier here), because it happens to push people into eating almost no empty calories. In a diet simply absent bread, sugar, and other empty calories, virtually everything you eat is contributing your satiety as well as your overall health.

That alone will allow you to eat far less and feel fuller. Taking it that much further and saying that the entire leptin hypothesis along with the keto diet usually associated with it is somehow responsible for weight-loss when that loss could be explained purely in terms of eating healthier in general, is unscientific and unproven.

Control for people who don't eat empty/junk calories versus people who stay strictly keto, and we'll have a better idea of what impact blood sugar and leptin have on the matter.

I don't deny that insulin resistance has a long-term impact on health, but I sincerely doubt it has much, if anything, to do with short-term weight loss.

>stop saying "I am not a good public speaker" and start saying "Some of the speeches I have delivered have had a lot of umms in them"

Totally agree.

One thing that I have observed in many social activities especially public speaking and sports is that how good you are heavily depends upon how good you think you are.

Interestingly perhaps the converse is true with respect to creative (non-social) activities like writing and programming.

In Microsoft tradition, this article completely ignores the fact that DOS was a CP/M clone bought wholesale from another company (originally called QDOS). The question is, did QDOS have / for command line switches? Or were all of these tools added (as the article implies) by Microsoft engineers later?

This is addressed on the Go FAQ: http://tip.golang.org/doc/go_faq.html#garbage_collection

The authors believe that they can make GC a low overhead operation in Go and they believe that it's essential to take memory management out of the hands of the programmer to save programmer effort. Lastly, they say that should you need to you can always work around the GC by doing your own memory management (linked example).

It feels like they are trying to honor Hoare's "premature optimization is the root of all evil" by considering non-GC languages to have optimized the wrong thing.
Defensive Programming vs. Batshit Crazy Paranoid Programming
Go is designed for large codebases, which is a problem that the author may not have, and so he may not see the benefits.

One key feature is that the Go compiler itself is the style guide: it automatically reformats your code to remove style guide violations. This makes it easy to work on a codebase the size of Google's because everything looks like it was written by the same person. We try to do the same thing for C++, Java, and Python, but it doesn't work as well because the process is manual.

Similarly, compilation time and runtime for every component, no matter how unimportant, is of utmost importance for Google's codebase. It may not matter how long it takes to run one one-off script, and it may not matter to you how long it takes to compile, but it does matter at Google because we compile every project and run every test after every commit. (OK, builds and tests that are obviously unaffected are skipped. But it's still a lot of code being built and tested.) So your Python project that takes 5 seconds to run tests instead of 1 second ends up wasting decades of CPU time throughout its life time. Same for C++ projects that take many hours to compile. Go tries to be as expressive as Python and run as fast as Java (and compile faster than anything else), and this saves lots of time in aggregate. (Remember, when you break someone's build, the delay between submitting your change and the system knowing about the breakage can result in a lot of hair-pulling for the developers on the project you broke. But if we can know the build is broken before the change is even submitted, then many hours of developer productivity are saved.)

Anyway, don't take this to mean that you're doing software wrong if you don't see the value of Go. Google is a special case and just because we have some problem doesn't mean you should have the same problems. One-man shops should optimize for individual efficiency instead of aggregate efficiency like Google does.

Nobody believes GC is a bad idea, it's a canard to suggest otherwise.

It's that it's a contradiction of terms to say that you are offering a "systems" language but the language in question has non-optional GC.

I agree in general, but note that those pushing patented codecs aren't idiots and have an upgrade treadmill ready for users where at each decision point it'll make sense to upgrade to a newer codec with new patents.

Having said that, the silliness of patented codecs seems to have been recognized for lower bitrate use cases (image, speech, audio) so I guess it's only a matter of time for video.

I think a Googly approach where the encoder and decoders are assumed to be software like anything else in Chrome and updated every 6 weeks would be interesting to see.

From the linked (and more interesting, IMO) NY Times piece:

Draw Something is the creation of OMGPop, a social gaming start-up in
New York that has been churning out titles for the last four years, but
has struggled to produce a hit. Games like Cupcake Corner, a bakery
simulation, and Puppy World, in which players care for virtual canines,
both gained modest followings but failed to catch on among a wider audience.

“For a long time, we made games that did not get any traction,”
said Dan Porter, the chief executive of the company. Draw Something,
however, “was a crazy out-of-the-box success,” he said.

Draw Something has charted a turnaround for OMGPop, whose finances
were flailing. Its original founder, Charles Foreman, left the company
about a year ago. Although the start-up raised $17 million in venture
financing, the company had nearly burned through that reservoir. Now,
though, Mr. Porter said, the company earns revenue in the six figures,
generating more money for the company “in a day than we used to in a month.”

Similar parallels to Rovio here, it's interesting to hear about how many other games they made before they found their massive hit.

Also interesting to find out that they were nearly out of cash.
"Extra luggage is more work for the airline". Here's one scenario I came up with: a student from Australia does a high school year abroad to the US, joins the school football team, which places first in state that year. With a growth spurt plus putting on muscle weight that student ends up 15 pounds heavier on the return trip 10 months later.

Does the student have to pay more money at the gate in order to return home? If that student does not have the money, does the student have to leave luggage behind in order to make up for the weight? Will that be bad publicity for the airline?

Or the other way: suppose someone has a round-trip ticket from Australia to Maine to fulfill a dream of hiking part of the Appalachian trail. During the hike, that person loses 20 pounds. Does the airline reimburse the person for lost weight? And if so, is it in dollars or euro? If not, is this rightly seen as a penny grabbing method by the airliners?

If someone buys three bottles of wine at duty free (about 12 pounds) before flying back to Australia, will the gate agent charge them for the extra weight?

All-in-all, it seems like a bad idea for the airlines, and for relatively little money per flight.
>>No GC.

Interesting that you disqualify Objective C? It use reference counting which should have a more predictable memory handling behaviour.

Or is the dynamic stuff too much overhead for you? To me, it looks cheap (but I'm a scripter since quite a few years).

Or maybe your comment was just an instance not very useful (and downright wrong) nitpicking.

Arguing that a large-scale, organized boycott does not constitute "coercion or compulsion" or that anything that does not involve physical violence should not be called a "fight" is just inane.
That's fair - the largest code bases I've ever worked on are all less than ~200K LOC.

They've enforced style by mandating committers hook a linter into a git pre-commit hook, and compilation time hasn't been a huge problem since the languages always support incremental/partial compilation (Java/Lisp for the most part).

I can imagine that not working at Google-scale.
Great idea, but does it work? To start with, please address my questions.
I accept that humanities continuation as a species depends on science/tech, there has to be more to it. Living longer and expanding further should be the how, not the why.

Unifying people into action is historically only possible by getting them to engage in shared values and beliefs. We need culture, politics, philosophy and, dare I say it, religion to motivate people into tackling these problems. Promoting science beyond these seems unlikely to result in the kind of Utopian vision you are talking about.

Also, is toiling always such a bad thing? Hard work can be rewarding too.

It seems most people don't really understand the core of systems programming.

Let me try to summarize:

There can be no limitations of any kind in terms of expressing to the machine, precisely how the machine should behave.

Period. No ifs-ands-or-buts about it.

This means you must be able to define memory layout, management, instruction behavior and semantics, and optimally, be able to predict cache locality (arrays vs. linked-lists are the trivial but canonical example)

The moment the programming language, at any fundamental level, precludes me from defining how the machine should behave with respect to memory, semantics, or otherwise...it ceases to be a language that can be used for systems programming.

Disintermediating the meddling of C compilers is hard enough, languages like Go and Java are 'intractable' to say the least for actual systems programming.

Obj-C is only acceptable in the context of systems programming when you stop using everything that makes it Obj-C and just write C code.

I outlined additions/improvements that could be made to C and utilized in the context of systems (rather than applications) programming.

In a single sentence, it's about fundamentally about POWER and not "speed". That's why the desert-island language is C.

These are theorized to be produced by relativistic jets from a black hole in the galactic nucleus. Astronomical entities eject streams of matter along their axis or rotation. The energy comes from infalling matter (accretion disks). In the case of our sun, the accretion disk turned into planets and no longer powers strong polar jets.

In the case of active galactic nuclei, an incredible amount of energy is released as matter falls into the black hole. Particles are ejected at a significant fraction of the speed of light, transferring energy to the interstellar medium.

Galaxies moving quickly relative to an intergalactic medium can have helical trails, rather than bubbles. The jets precess (wobble) like the Earth or a top, which produces two helical paths. Tracing these paths is used as a tool to study cluster mergers.

Ireland's quite weird in terms of tax policy internationally. We have supposedly low rates of income tax, high sales taxes and low corporate tax. Ireland also has more deductible than I've seen in the UK. I went looking for things I could use to reduce my tax bill (there's loads in Ireland), but there appeared to be no comparable tax reliefs available for me in the UK :(.
The issue isnt just the tweet itself but the fact it was promoted.
As for the GC speed, how do GC and manual memory management compare to the Automatic Reference Counting system that was introduced recently into Objective-C? It looks to me as ARC has the advantages of both worlds: it relieves the programmer from managing memory by hand and has no overhead, as the decisions are made during compilation. I'm a bit frustrated each time people talk about GC and manual memory management and act like they were the only options available.
Objective C message passing is much, much faster than function dispatch in a typical scripting language but still too slow for inner loops. C++ virtual functions and, of course, inlined C/C++ functions are much faster.
There are different ways to help advance science without publishing all of your genetic material. As someone who has published my own mtDNA and my father's mtDNA to the NIH GenBank, I feel like I am meeting science in the middle. The mtDNA alone is not particularly useful for identification, but it does help population geneticists who are at a severe shortage of information for certain groups. My father's mtDNA happens to be in a rare haplogroup that only has 4 public samples.
I applied some of the things from the 4HWW that made sense and they have worked well for me.

In the 4HWW he does advise to outsource certain tasks - which is helpful if you have high income and are strapped for time.

However I'd say for a bootstrapping entrepreneur I'd say avoid as many costs as possible, even if this includes trying your hand at some work you would normally think to outsource.

For bootstrapping entrepreneurs, cash is normally more of a contraint than time is.

I still think the 4HWW is very useful and probably one of the most motivating books I've read in a long while.

I don't even have to do that. In my world, I'm free to oscillate between C and Python, depending on the problem being solved. Bonus: One can call the other.

I have no need for mid-tier corporate languages like Java and C# anymore. Go can be a "better" mid-tier language all it wants, I still won't learn it because it doesn't do anything better than Python or C currently do.

I actively avoid using or creating codebases so grossly-huge that you need the "bug-avoidance" and performance of something like Java and C# to the point where Python is no longer practicable.

When you need more "performance" because your codebase is too fat, you've got a bigger problem that can't be solved with a faster runtime.
