That's the bummer, you're right.

Unfortunately there's no official API to feed in the app icon. But since we're on the desktop, there might be some other ways to go. You can rest assured that I've not yet given up on this :)
'pay for' is not the same as 'care for'. A poor person can care a heap about -foo-, but if they can't afford it, it won't happen.
I find r/paleo to be a bit better than r/keto but I think the best content for these sorts of diets is found outside reddit. marksdailyapple.com is a good resource.
In the present environment it is people who got a worthless degree from a third-rate technical school, like Devry, Kaplan or the University of Phoenix that are saddled with student loans they cannot ever hope to repay.

The legal environment has changed, as have those who take advantage of it.
There are quite a few things in the above so I won't touch on them all. Though, I must ask...what is your goal?

My belief is that nearly everything in how someone eats, worksout and approaches fitness and health should be decided AFTER they understand what their goal is. Nearly all the studies above seem to have no idea what they are actually testing (the goal).

Right now I am an amateur powerlifter and bodybuilder. I play sports like hockey, basketball and flag football. In the past I did triathlons and ultramarathons with friends. Do you think I approach the different phases in my life EVEN REMOTELY the same in terms of diet and exercise?

So what is your goal? I'll provide a quick handy guide for some I read above.

Trying to maximize your years on this earth? Only known way is to calorie restrict. Like extreme calorie restrict. Say, around 1000-1200 cals a day.

Trying to maximize athletic performance in power sports (hockey, football, basketball, baseball etc)? Sprints+heavy weights for a workout. Carb cycling for food (high carb days post working out, low carb days when you don't work out).

Trying to maximize athletic performance in enduro sports (distance cycling, distance running)? Know your carb maintenance level, eat for that + protein and lower(ish) fat (fat + carbs leads to weight gain almost universally. So, if you NEED to eat carbs as your main source of fuel, you'll need to lower fat if you don't track your carb intake very closely). *

*Note: there are plenty of people that perform enduro sports on VLC (very low carb) and use fat as their fuel. However, I haven't found studies on this yet so I don't recommend it wholesale. If someone wants to try it and can work through the re-acclimation period in their body, give it a shot.

I can go on, but I need to know what people have in terms of goals. I personally wasted too many years middling around without knowing what I actually wanted to achieve. I know others do as well. Know your goals, then you can set your approach to achieving those goals....persist and you'll hit 'em!
Yeah, definitely.

If you're just getting started, I highly recommend Andrew Ng's online ML class. I had started reading up before this was available, but it really tied a lot of basics together that I was confused about.

From there, read papers. For me, my primary interest is in neural networks. Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio have two very good groups that both have contributed a great deal to research in this area, and their websites provide lots of good stuff.

After spending a bit of time on a survey of the field, try to come up with a practical goal as quickly as you can: I want to use ML to do X. Then, try to do that. When you get stuck, get back to reading until you find the answer. Rinse and repeat. The math naturally falls into this--you'll get stuck on things that you can't fix without a decent understanding of the math. So figure out how to formulate the question you're really asking, hit google, and read. Then try again. Rinse and repeat.

If you're interested in neural networks, I can also recommend the deep learning tutorials associated with Theano, a library for compiling python code down to CUDA code to get speed increases on certain operations that will let you train your models about 10-40x faster on GPU than if you tried it on CPU.

For me, putting things into practice has helped me make the biggest leaps in understanding, but of course I wouldn't have been able to do that at all without getting a basic grasp of the mechanisms involved. So it's a bit of push and pull between practice and learning, like anything worth doing.
Is Haskell then a "Third Hand" language because it is compiled into C?
While this is definitely true, the amount of damage those paper-based systems was limited. As the Knight Capital case showed, it is possible to lose millions of dollars a minute with poor software. That would not have been possible with human trades.

Here is a worse one:

> What is the make of your first car?

The number of relatively common car makers is really low, and when you factor in the fact that most people don't get a really high-end car as their first car, 5 or 6 makers are going to cover a really high percentage (Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota, and Honda would cover most, I'd guess). If you factor in make AND model, we're still talking in the low hundreds of possibilities.

Good security questions are really, really hard to come up with and should, IMHO, really only be used as an addition to a password - not as a way around one.
They're probably running display ads, which are traditionally CPM.
Jekyll just generates static html, so you can host it anywhere.

Honestly, this is the best suggestion, here. You can build anything you want with jekyll and never have to worry about stupid mysql/php crap ever again.
> If you can manage to eat a ton of carb and protein calories, you will probably lose some water weight initially, but overall stay the same relative to other macronutrient distributions.

There is another reply in this thread where I talk about goals, so I won't repeat what I said there here.

In reply to the above, what is lacking in that is what happened right before someone at protein+carbs. If someone worked out with heavy weights, the body is actually primed to use both the protein and the carbs to rebuild the muscle. You are actually going to use them.

If someone is going to eat protein+carbs after sitting on the couch all day, everyday, the body is not primed to use them.

Let's say you at the exact same meals in either case, you'll get very different results? Why is that? Because a calorie is not a calorie. Hormones play a HUGE role in all this. Understanding the role they play, the timing of them and how to manipulate them is vitally important. "a calorie is a calorie" neglects this and we end up with people thinking eating x, y or z is ok b/c someone who else eats them successfully under different circumstances for different goals.
While I don't literally follow the advice of /r/fitness, a lot of my dietary philosophy is aligned with the general advice there.

It's all about your diet, cardio helps but is totally unnecessary. I don't have more than 3 hours a week to lift very heavy, and don't want to spend more time at the gym. I have better things to do. Yet, I'm down from 185lbs a few years ago to 145lbs and 7% body fat and will likely hit 6% or lower soon. You've all seen Fight Club, you know what that looks like. It's a huge personal satisfaction and you feel healthier than ever.

How? Cut calories and cut carbs to 100g a day or lower. Primal/paleo/IF work wonders, but you still have to count calories very carefully at the end of the day. The whole "eat whatever you want as long as it's fat and protein" works down to maybe 10-12% body fat, but below that you need to start cutting.

Mark Sisson might give you the impression that you can eat all you want, but you got to look at some of his food logs to get an idea of how you can look like him at age 50+. He's got quite a few IF + 800 calorie zig-zag days in there, just to give you an idea. That's not easy, or for the faint of heart. It requires a lot of sacrifice and an iron resolve.
But don't tell me that if your game was super awesome it would still do bad. Good work always floats to surface, yes it's more difficult but why would you do a mediocre game anyways.
Tiny Wings is a brilliant, fun game. It is one of those near perfect mobile "pick up and play quick" experiences. It all has good graphics and sound. It also is slightly derivative of Angry Birds without being a ripoff.

In short, it's a very well made game that is worth talking about. Marketing something brilliant is easier than marketing something that is average. Let's face it, most Android and iOS games are mediocre.
I have a similar disclaimer: personal weight loss, no reddit.

The main point of this post: I was under the impression that high-protein diets are not healthy over the long term. That such diets lead to health problems because of the high protein content.

I agree that less intake, more exercise is vague advice, but aren't nutritionists a better source of advice? It doesn't seem difficult to find more nuanced advice on the internet, although I just sort of figured it out on my own.

Anyway... I entered college at 270lbs. I gained weight eating at the dining hall (pizza, etc.) After hating myself long enough, I decided to lose a lot of weight. Contrary to some comments in this thread (stating that running / cardio doesn't result in much weight loss), I did it by running. I ran 3-5 miles 4-6 times a week (for awhile it was just 3 miles). For a 3-mile run, I would burn about 500 calories. When you consume about 1700-2000/day, and run 3 miles 4-6 times a week, that adds up quickly, especially considering you're burning calories even after the run.

I also ate a diet consisting of reduced everything (fewer carbs, fewer proteins, fewer fatty foods). I focused on eating a lot of vegetables, fruits, some lean meats, and healthy grains.

After four months I was down to 200lbs. Years later, I'm around 185. I've gone up a few pounds at points, but never let it get out of hand.

This post is cluttered, but I guess my main point was that it's not much more than exercise more, eat healthier. And eat healthy in a way that you think "this is my diet for the rest of my life." I'm perplexed by people who initiate insane diets that deviate from the dietary habits of humans for thousands of years; or spend a ridiculous amount of money (I was lucky to have an indoor track at my college, but these days I just run outside).
You can do stuff that's quite a bit more amazing than that (though I guess this goes against his point of "manage expectations"):

For any given C++ refactoring (rename method + swap args), propagate that refactoring automatically to every caller of the refactored function, such that upgrading to a new version of the library is automatically refactored correctly.

Parse this Python function and emit it as C, for optimization. Parse this C function and emit it as Python, for readability.

Cross-layer data-flow analysis - so you could track that a lock that's taken out in Java and released in C++ code would never produce deadlocks.
In my experience I think notation would not make the life of a student much easier if you're learning things at the level Terry Tao writes in his blog, he's not writing college level math for engineers (ie. Calculus, LinAlg, Basic Fourier Analysis and some other topics) but Graduate level math for mathematicians and people interested in pure and/or applied mathematics. Notation is not the problem when you're having a hard time studying Functional Analysis, Algebraic Topology, Advanced Probability (using Lebesgue integral) or trying to understand the proof of the Prime Number theorem.

The problem actually is that notation preference is a matter of personal preference, the physicists love the bra and ket notation I think it is very confusing, maybe because I'm not a physicist. I think any time someone comes with new notation for settled things they just turns the matter worse.

Partial Differential Equations is a perfect example how these things works, there's generally different notations being used by mathematicians, physicists and engineers, at least in my experience, and because every couple of years someone comes with a new notation to "simplify" everything to his field of study, but a introductory note of a page or two in any book is enough to explain the differences between the notations.

The grandparent argument is valid for some math below graduate level and some confusing bits in advanced mathematics but it's generally not a problem for anything above. I actually think notation is a problem for students that are not that much interested in mathematics, high schoolers and some engineering students that I saw in my life generally are confused why some things are written the way they are without any justification. This is a problem with learning methods and if you just give a new arbitrary notation to these students I believe the problem will persist.

I also think that trying to reboot the entire mathematical notation to fit areas such as aerospace control theory, algorithm complexity theory, abstract algebra, biostatistics and thermodynamics, among other fields would probably result in failure, like creating a universal language like esperanto that would never be used.
I know several personally, but I hate using personal anecdotes as evidence. These people religiously run 45-55 miles a week (slightly below your number, I know, but there is nothing magical about those last 5 miles).

They also run a slow 50. But, they still run around 50 a week and they are overweight.

The point being there is nothing magical about running long distances and being lean, IMO. Someone could (and like I said, I know several) run that and be overweight). I know plenty of people who ride bikes 150-200+ miles a week and are overweight.

What I suspect you mean when you say 50mpw is that someone running 50mpw at 5 min/mile pace (or less) is not going to be overweight. And that is probably true. But you are factoring in intensity then, which changes the equation entirely.

For instance, I know someone that lifts weights 4 times a week for 1 hour a day and is fat. He's been doing it for years.

I also know someone who lifts weights 4 times a week for 1 hour a day and just won a local bodybuilding contest.

There are so many things I didn't say in the above it isn't worth talking about them? What are they eating? What does their workout look like? Are they both lifting the same weights? How intense are they working out? Adequate sleep in both cases? Any sprinting?

Like I said, I suspect what you meant in the 50mpw case was also something about intensity, not just distance.

I'm not sure why people expect these petitions would amount to any real policy change; in fact it would be a disaster if they were true referenda. 25,000 signatures represents 0.0008% of the population and all they did was click a button. If 10 million people signed one of these petitions, and there's no reason that couldn't happen if it was a truly widespread will of "the people," there would be more serious consideration of policy change.

Relevant to this discussion is the petition to take the petitions seriously[1]. The response is essentially that successful petitions bring the topic to discussion at the White House. This might not seem like much, and it isn't "much", but it's something. In the same way big donors do not (usually) buy policy directly, but rather the ear of the administration, these petitions give a small voice in the proces of governance. It's better than nothing and discrediting it because of unreasonable expectations is not helping anything.

Is this a real poll? Why do you think you can just say that without qualifying it?

Another recent poll shows that less than 4% of statistics are based on real data.

Edit: Found it here: http://www.gallup.com/poll/156491/Americans-Views-TSA-Positi...

Each sample includes a minimum quota of 400 cell phone respondents and 600 landline respondents per 1,000 national adults.
Results for this Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews conducted July 9-12, 2012, with a random sample of 1,014 adults.

Landlines huh? Sounds like old conservative people.
Interesting.

I eat corn exactly as you do in (C) (more or less in columns; clear a column of all corn, then shift over to the right exactly one mouth width). The difference though is that I hold it with the pointy end to my left and the stem end to my right, but I start at the pointy end. I'm left-handed.
Google could make this more transparent, and put a note on the search results, "3 sites in these results are down-rated due to excessive DMCA notices received"

The thing is that most reasonably web-savvy people will bypass Google and use a torrent search site or "free-episodes-blah-blah.com" site to find what they want.

If the MPAA/RIAA were not dinosaurs lobbyists running a massive fraud campaign, they should look at how sidereel.com is organized. Featured (legal and sometimes non-free) content shows up first, and then the other sites show up second.
Any links to these whistleblowers that tell about dossiers on everyone including internet traffic and movements?
The counter-notice process is somewhat dangerous, and is not something to be undertaken without a budget for legal representation. From what I've read on Wikipedia, there are basically two options for the original takedown sender: ignore the counter-notice for 10 days (at which case the disputed content can be put back up), or file a lawsuit against the infringer in federal court.

Admittedly, Wikipedia's article on the subject is relatively poor, so I could be wrong. But filing a counter-notice seems a lot like going out in your backyard and whacking that wasp nest with your baseball bat. Maybe it will all work out, but probably not.

Here is a classic example of how the DMCA takedown process works in real life: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Instruments_signing_key_c...
Reddit's /r/fitness is like the 4chan of fitness I stopped reading it due to the bickering and posturing, I'd say a wee bit of roid-rage is leaking through.
It may be the end for you, but not for me. I see tons of potential for mobile app developers, especially independents.

I hear so many developers complaining about their apps not getting exposure on the app stores, but guess how many of them have put any serious sweat equity into building their business outside of the app stores? Hardly any is the correct answer to that question.

The whole world of internet marketing is open to you. Build a brand for yourself, cultivate a community. You think the only way to get people to download your app is through the app store? The only time I go the app store is when I want something specific. I find ALL the apps I use through search and social.

You need to think bigger to survive. Yes, competition is increasing- nobody gets a free ride in this world. But there are advantages to being small and nimble in this market. You just gotta think outside the store.
So the sections of the horizon that are missing are the martian cities, yes?
From the study: 5% of energy from protein (low protein), 15% (normal protein), or 25% (high protein)

25% is not high protein. That means 75% is coming from either fat+carbs.

On a typical cutting (VLC) day, I'll eat 50% protein+45%fat+5% broccoli. And I don't consider it a high protein day.

If the average person reading this ate 40% protein + 40% fat + 10% veggies (like broccli) + 10% carbs (sweet potato, rice etc), their weight would stabilize much better, faster and for a longer period of time.
1) Fill a tall jar most of the way with hot water but enough room for #2.
2) Add a melted stick of butter to the top of the jar.
3) Dip a cob of corn into the jar and pull it out.

Now you have an entire cob coated in delicious butter.

It should get past the wifi range issue, as Shynk was designed with that in mind. It will automatically reconnect when it can (even if that means using 3G).

In-app registration is definitely something I've been planning on implementing, but it hadn't been asked about before, so I hadn't prioritized it.
Matternet was a concept developed by a multidisciplinary team of 18 people at Singularity Univiersity in August 2011.

Since October 2011, two groups formed: Matternet, Inc and ARIA .

ARIA formed because we want to stay true to the original summer concept of building an OPEN SOURCE NETWORK were the DIY movement can find applications to be developed within it.

In the original Fast Company article when I was interviewed, I specified to Ariel that while ARIA is fully open-source, Matternet was proprietary (this is the last we knew when the two groups formed).

Because the CEO of Matternet Inc contacted Ariel to have the story changed, it no longer reads "proprietary technology" but "undisclosed".

ARIA has been open source from the start.

Right now, a chrome extension for Steam, adds a bit of functionality to the store. Some extra links, prices from all regions, probably some other crap too.

Currently the goals for it are to implement and use redis in a production site, learn to make a chrome extension, and just to get another thing launched. Possibly also to install/config a server from scratch (on Linode).
