If people are having consistently poor mobile experiences because of poor battery optimisation across websites, that should create market demand for smarter devices/mobile browsers, better development tools and modern standards etc., right?

Well, my point is these problems are created by "converting" what would traditionally have been static content into dynamic. I'm not sure there will ever be a way to make that as efficient as static. Creating a problem and then fixing it doesn't mean you've actually advanced anything. But I suppose you're right in that it'll create demand for devices with longer battery life, if not in a roundabout way. There are probably easier ways to achieve that.

Hands down the most common case I come across is constant DOM changes without any growth cap using something like a circular buffer. Eventually the browser just churns doing constant GC. Travis CI was a big example of this, but the huge set of blog widgets out there are typical culprits as well. I'm not sure how new hardware could possibly address that.

Case study of one, but I've been a (lacto-ovo) vegetarian for roughly eight years now. I do eat a lot of pasta and cheese (because I find it delicious). I've always had a high metabolism, and I actually have trouble gaining weight. I've always been under the impression that there is not one universal diet for everybody. Instead, people should choose something that works for them. This is what works for me, and I'm pretty dang happy with it, so I've stuck with it.

>Admittedly with little research I tried out a low-carb (more like no-carb) diet (of my own invention)

Not trying to be snarky, but I suspect this is where your problem was.

One of the most commonly reported side effects of typical low-carb diets is appetite suppression. Better focus after the first couple of weeks is pretty common as well.

I will note that while I think low carb diets work, I'm also firmly of the belief that, in terms of weight loss, they're still caloric deficit diets at the core. It's just there are a few other things going on metabolically -- including the appetite suppression -- that tend to make them easier for a lot of people.
There's been stories for a while of massive malware infections sniffing usernames and passwords of infected users. Simply because there's little to give away that such an activity is going on (ie, if you were spamming or mining bitcoin there would be a real-world impact shown immediately) it's extremely hard to confirm or deny if this is happening and at what scale. In my mind it doesn't seem unlikely that would be happening though. Combined with large websites like LinkedIn being compromised, you're looking at a very, very big problem.
I lost 80 pounds doing low carb in a year and a half after 3-4 years of trying various diets after graduating high school at 320 pounds (being 6'4). Calorie counting "works" but you're constantly having to make willpower checks every day. Low fat left me ravenously hungry /all/ the time. Whenever I need to lose weight I just go on a ketogenic diet for a few months and it reliably drops the pounds very quickly, and I am also far less hungry throughout the day making it MUCH easier to stay on track.

The MOST difficult part of the diet is just how much every "healthy" food is set up for low-fat rather than low-carb - if you want to stay under 40g carbs per day about 90% of the grocery store is off limits, they fill EVERYTHING with sugar or corn, especially the "healthy low-fat" foods which usually trade fat for more carbs. I'm very glad that this study came out, hopefully we will start to see more foods with low carbs in stores and restaurants.
I'm currently on a keto diet and have lost like 60 pounds.

For my snacks I eat pepperoni, beef sticks, almonds(so many different flavored versions. smokehouse jalapeno is my favorite), cheeses, pork rinds, sugar free jello(cut with HWC), and this chocolate pudding/mousse I make.
I sure you have used the Internet often enough to know people can move to threats pretty quickly. I have already seen plenty of open threats to her, so arguing that nobody has threatened her can only mean you haven't seen it yet or you believe the threats only started after she claimed to be threatened. Even in that case, it proves her point. Responses I've seen from others say threats are extremely common, especially for people who comment on social issues.
You're thinking of ketones, which are what trigger your body to burn fat for energy. (Another perk of ketosis is being able to go long stretches between meals without getting hungry.)

It should be noted that the first time moving to a low-carb, high fat diet, it's mildly traumatic and unpleasant. It takes 1-2 weeks of low energy and constant hunger before the body switches to ketosis mode. (This is sometimes called the "carb flu".)
12 lb lost vs 4 lb lost is extremely significant especially given neither diet was calorie restrictive.
As a web dev, I'm very well aware of the pain of supporting old browsers. I appreciate what Google did for that very selfish reason.

Google provide a "free" service ("free" as in they don't directly charge you for it, they show you ads and have advertisers pay for it instead). Users sure have the freedom to use browsers of their choice and search engines of their choice, so is Google entitled to similar kind of freedom -- they are free to set their own house rules, whether that's "old homepage for old browsers" or "special homepage for chrome". As a user of such a "free" service either you suck it up or leave. Bitching about something like this is like getting a free lunch and complaining there's not enough salt, imho.
Is there a similar way to play with the phase component?
Too much meat not enough fat. Rabbit starvation they call it.

I would think that in the future with Lyft, Uber, etc - that this becomes a data science problem. Similar example would be when UPS eliminated left turns to reduce overall 'idling' times. They could be able to take in all the requests in real time, use algorithms to process the data, and re-route drivers to optimize their paths.
> The data model would definitely heavily confound your attempts to build a clean system.

Can you expand on that. I build systems that don't use an ORM but still requires interfacing with a SQL database so I'm curious how one ends up writing "unclean" systems if not using an ORM. Sure, if you've got SQL all over your code-base that's bad but if you were to use the repository pattern it would be as if you were using an ORM in your code-base except within the repository itself.

I remain amazed at how much contradictory information we receive about diet.

My sense is the following would benefit pretty much everyone: eat in moderation, mostly unprocessed food, and be modestly active (ie, walk at least 10 miles per week).
This is different that what we have been told which is to reduce fat and eat more whole grains and vegetables. You are saying that we just need to restrict our food choices.
This article (and the Tim Ferriss article in the Top comment here) both cite Atkin's High Protein, Low Carb diet. I am not sure I can believe that though.
It is well known that most of the people in the west consume way more proteins that is required by their body, even those that don't exercise.

Excessive protein ingestion causes kidney failure, hypertension and heart attacks.

Some believe (and allege) that Dr Atkins himself died of his own Atkins Diet. Here are some quotes from news articles and mybuster sites from when he was alive / had just died.

"It is known Robert Atkins did indeed weather a heart attack during his lifetime. In April 2002, the diet guru issued a statement saying he was recovering from cardiac arrest related to a heart infection he had suffered from "for a few years." He said it was "in no way related to diet."

However, revelations in February 2004 from the city medical examiner's report let slip the information that Atkins had suffered a heart attack, congestive heart failure, and hypertension, before his death. "

Sources:

1) Dr. Robert Atkins, proponent of the low-carbohydrate diet, died of a heart attack. http://www.snopes.com/medical/doctor/atkins.asp

2) Atkins diet author home after cardiac arrest: http://edition.cnn.com/2002/HEALTH/diet.fitness/04/25/atkins...

One more note: What about Vegetarians and Lacto-vegetarians?
Our diet typically tends to be little high in carbs mainly white rice.
What kind of protein sources can we substitute lean meat like chicken, for? Tofu and lentils don't cut it, you have to consume vast amounts to get sufficient protein equivalent.
Anyone with useful advice, experience, please share!

- HTML/CSS
- PostgreSQL
- RSpec
- Git

It would be great if you've also worked with:

- Chef
- Vagrant

> On the general topic of Steve Jobs, I highly recommend the Isaacson biography, excellent book, and one that openly acknowledges Steve's core malady -- pathological narcissism.

There are lots of great things in that book, like all the chances you get to see Isaacson's blissful ignorance of technology and apparent unwillingness to get his sources checked over. (Bill Gates is directly quoted in the book as saying a "disk drive has too low latency".)

Although he also skipped over most of the contributions by Steve's wife (instead Steve is just magically really good at business one day, totally unrelated to her?), he did seem intent on getting embarrassing quotes from their kids memorialized forever. I seem to remember Reed appearing in a few different chapters only to make dick jokes and leave.

Your never too old to join a start up. Want to give yourself an edge above the competition go to Amazon and purchase current physical books on Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, jQuery, HTML5 CSS3, etc. that you have an interest in. PDFs/EPUBs and other digital content is nice but those physical books and their size will help remind you that you have some serious work to do. As your start to finish each book faster and faster you will have actual produced work you can use for your personal resume that you have created and customized from your newly learned skills. When you have mastered what was in those books you can look back at the thousands and thousands of pages and go wow I know all that by heart, oh man how far I have come.

Bootcamps are a nice general overview but will not take you to the level of mastery that you will get from books created by experts in their field. You may even get a book or few from a master in their field (David Heinemeier Hannson for Ruby on RAILS, Dennis Ritchie for C, Bjarne Stroustrup for C++, Brendan Eich for JavaScript, John Resig for jQuery, etc.).

If you don't want the average Joe Nobody job you have to put in the work to gain mastery of your craft. Don't worry about the money it will come the closer you get to mastery as your skills will be extremely sought after by those wanting ( and needing ) your help and services solving unsolved real world business/technical problems.

You do have to start somewhere; that can be working for someone or working for yourself (recommend end game). All that marketing and business skills you put all that time into learning comes in very helpful in a business, especially those that want to market their products and services. Nothing better than someone with experience in those business units but also knows technology. I would recommend working on product development while working through your road to learning.

If you can build a few production quality products and have active users engaging in them that will skyrocket your chances with joining a start up. Who knows one might just reach out to you, without you having to try and find them. Your confidence in your abilities seem to be low at this current point but that will fade away as time goes on as you start to master certain aspects of the languages.

Key here is you want to insure that you have something excellent to offer to anyone that you are trying to be employed by or if you are going to start a business and work for yourself. Think of a start up as your first business client, what mastered skills, qualities and services can you offer them to make them and yourself better.

The idea of the Web as it was sold to many of us was that it allowed for cross-platform access without having to deal with hardware requirements or DLL hell. The best part, was it was completely open and you didn't need to constantly upgrade because the technology degraded. Nowadays, if you run a browser older than 6 weeks old, you're treated with utter disdain by a non-insignificant portion of web developers. We've done a complete about-face on this one.

It also appears since new APIs are constantly being made available that devs are in a constant state of learning how to use them. While I appreciate that eventually some of this solidifies and we're better off for it, in practice a portion of the user experience always suffers. And as mentioned, this becomes really bothersome when this comes at the expense of battery life. If everything is to become a web app, and I have N tabs running, then I have N different opportunities for a web site to completely drain my battery. In practice, there's usually more than one site responsible.

And then there's the fun matter where auto-updating browsers sometimes just don't work. And since the update occurs silently, it can take a while to figure out that's what happened and that the failure isn't related to something else. Chrome 36 simply didn't work for me, so I had to change browsers until Chrome 37 rolled out.

For what it's worth, I've spent close to five years working on a Web Consistency Testing service, where we've tested millions of unique pages across tens of thousands of sites. I understand the quirks of browsers better than many. I've measured the performance and memory impact of new browser releases. I've had to debug quite a few customer issues. So, while a large part of my frustration is certainly personal, I'm also coming at this having looked at actual data.

Too bad for you that there is absolutely nothing in the current medical literature that supports these ridiculous claims.
If DNA is like source code, then it is really interesting the way one gene is unzipped in order to unlock other genes.

Maybe it's a sort of encryption/decryption process, at the same time having the properties of a "program" running to perform actions on itself. That would make it the ultimate "self-modifying" system, which I imagine would be really hard to reason about and debug.

Do you suppose DNA embodies the old idea that data is code and code data? Wouldn't it be something if the DNA scheme turned out to be sort of like Scheme. Apparently DNA is recursive in a sense, maybe it's also homoiconic.

I'm going to stop here now, I'm starting to get myself very confused.

The benefits of vegetarianism are probably a lot more modest than you think, if at all.

Your study shows 1) no difference for everything except ischemic heart disease, 2) that fish eaters fare best and 3) fails to account for the lousier other food likely eaten by meat eaters.
Maybe this is a west vs east thing (I'm in the east), but all the vegetarians I know eat a high-carb diet: vegetables, legumes, fruits and grains. What do you see as contradictory to "health benefits" from a diet with those staples? And, genuinely, what are the vegetarians you know eating?

> It is well known that most of the people in the west consume way more proteins that is required by their body

If prehistoric humans didn't get their calories from protein, how do you suggest they got them? Certainly not from sugars (found mainly in modern cultivated fruits) or starches (found mainly in modern cultivated grains).

I'm not saying your "too much protein" thesis is wrong (I don't have enough of an understanding of nutritional history and anthropology) but can you give some better supporting documentation?
Same here, though the effect is not as strong as it used to be. At first glance I see the colors, but then they are gone and all I see is the black and white stripes.
More anecdotal evidence:

consist of eggs for breakfast, tuna salad for lunch, and some kind of protein for dinner — like red meat, chicken, fish, pork or tofu — along with vegetables

I've been eating this way for almost two years now. Though correlation may not be causation, I attribute the ease of weight maintenance and the lower levels of fatigue I experience since then to the diet.
