Companies and developers need to make the conscious decision to host binaries via SSL/TLS

Of course the problem with that is that countries with censorship like china seriously throttle or outright block any SSL connection that are made outside of the country. And sometimes they even use something like SSL strip to do a MITM attack with a self signed certificate.

Average users there are also used to seeing self signed certificates locally and so never even think twice before discarding a message alerting them that a SSL certificate is not valid.

Why You Should Risk Sharing Your Idea

* Cloudflare

It's obviously not nearly as secure as end-to-end SSL, but it's probably still useful. The connection between the client's machine and the Cloudflare's server is more likely to be under attack (unencrypted Wifi, hacked personal routers, rogue exit TOR nodes, etc) than the connection between datacenters.

That's an interesting point for point 3. I wonder if they'll do it? I know I hate watching ITV here in the UK because of the adverts, and knowing that there are data limits for broadband, being pushed video adverts in HD may be obnoxious to some (but you'd have to watch adverts all day long for it to make a difference!)
I've often heard this idea about 'sharing logic across multiple platforms'.

I agree that it's a noble goal, but I'm curious about places where that sort of logic is actually common enough to justify the overhead of maintaining a cross-platform library.

Most of the applications on my phone are ultimately native UI skins over web services. There might be some logic in there to handle other features, but in most cases it's tied into OS-native features anyway.

I can see cross-platform libraries being useful for games using GL, maybe for media applications that require formats not supported by the OS, and for applications that do heavy image or audio processing – in short, the sort of thing where the value-add is specifically high-performance processing. Maybe that's enough to justify the existence of these tools, though I'd imagine it's almost always a better option to write your library in C in the first place.
Ah OK. Thanks for the info. It saves you having to write a database system, the API and implement web sockets then. Thanks!
I wonder if Xamarin are considering acquiring Untity 3D?
Sharing the business logic makes sense, but I'm not confident that sharing code on web and mobile devices is a good point in terms of performance.

The UI in JS is simple to develop, but you have a lack of performance also
"That is, even two different people of exactly the same weight, height, age, gender, and activity level do not necessarily burn calories at the same rate." The AJCN (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition), has tons of paper on these types of topics, and one of the clever things they do is use isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen (Doubly Labeled Water, DLW), to get an exact measurement of a persons metabolic rate.

They then use those exact measurements to do things like calculate how much the various activities like sitting, walking, typing, reading, running, sleeping, lying down quietly, etc... consume in terms of calories.

What's nifty (and surprising to me), is that for most people, the standard models that are based on age, weight, height, and gender are pretty good predictors as to how much energy you will consume doing a particularly activity.

I put on less than ten pounds of muscle, it hasn't been a good way to put on weight even when I tried to bulk and eat a surplus. When I did eat a surplus I gained fat, and some muscle, but mostly fat. I then cut and lost the fat, but retained very little muscle.

People have a very unrealistic expectation from how much muscle they can gain going to the gym. Some can do better than others, but as for me, I have a very slight frame so I have difficulty putting on muscle mass.

Low carbs did make you eat lower calories, so if it works for you, that's great. A low calorie diet is not opposed to a low carb diet, a low carb diet is usually a low calorie diet.

This, is true. But some foods make you feel less hungry for the same quantity consumed. I linked to studies[1] showing this, but judging from the downvotes it seems to be unexpectedly controversial.

The science is well established. It makes a lot of sense: people agree the glycemic index of food is important, and the satiety index builds on that look at the number of calories a food contains as well as how quickly it is absorbed.

> it sounds like you're advocating for letting go of independent moralistic thought, and going along with the flow of what feels good.

What has moralistic thought ever done for us? No, seriously. Moral titans don't normally do good things because they've thought about it, they do it because they feel like it. Ethics professors IIRC behave less ethically in real life than their peers. Human moral instincts are pretty sound. While I'm usually all for a careful analysis, in this particular field it doesn't seem to have paid off.
That advice is generally valid for all devs. In a poll (sorry, can't find the source right now) the older devs that were freelancers were the most happy ones. The market valued their experience, while employees in companies would be punished for their age.

This is fascinating, thank you.

It's surprising to see a causal link between ED and gut flora. Anorexia is, when we adjust for factors, the most fatal mental illness.

Has anyone tested people who have a reliable diagnosis of either anorexia or bulimia? That would seem ethically easy enough. Especially since current treatment sometimes involves detention against the patient's ill in hospital, and forced naso-gastric feeding.
You can also do New Leaf testing which measures your caloric burn rate[1]. It's more for optimising nutrition for endurance sports than for weight loss though. Once it is done Garmin devices can load a New Leaf profile and tell you when you need calories (if you are doing an Ironman or something).

> It's not useless.

How not?
From my experience with servers-side JS code, if your JS is fast enough to run with every server request, it's also fast enough to run on today's mobile processors. Obviously for Client-side code this isn't true, but then again if you want your apps accessible from mobile browsers, you need to have it reasonably optimized anyway.
How long have you been living in Britain, for people to think you're British from your accent?

I started pretty much the same way, trying to make sense of C++ and VB manuals when I was young and I think I have pretty good reading and writing skills now, although a native speaker can notice English is not my primary language.

Spoken English is still an obstacle for me, I moved to London a year ago, I got a pretty good pronunciation, but I still find it much harder to convey my thoughts, compared to writing them. And I'm trying hard to lose my Italian accent, luckily it's not as pronounced as the stereotypical one.

Though I have to admit I've never been a good speaker, not even in my native language.
I always hated it when I was learning German when people would point out that I'd said something silly but not tell me the "right" way to do it.

In that spirit, as a native speaker: "...from the context and the few words I recognised." would work just fine.

That's english for you. When the peasants are revolting, its very different from when the food is revolting...

No more than a 30 year-old or 26 year-old with a family. It might even be the case that he's in a better position becasue his kids are grown up now. We don't know - so we should take the OP at their word that they're willing to move.
> It's not about fighting your body, it's about having discipline

I like the Scott Adams' approach to discipline: self control, or motivation, is a finite resource. Just like attention span, or muscle endurance. You have to work around it, much as you work around your other limits. Dieting techniques are techniques to work around this limit.

This also means that saying it is about discipline conveys nothing actionable. It's like saying running the marathon is all about muscle endurance. True, but not actionable and thus useless.

> Obj-C is simple

Yeah you just need to know C, possibly C++, and smalltalk and be comfortable using the syntaxes for all three simultaneously. For the record though I'm a big fan of C and C++, and I don't really care for Java. I can just see why people who already know Java well would want to use Obj-C as little as possible.
Unfortunately, that generation of Intel GPUs is known to be quite bad in performance and having very buggy OpenGL drivers.

Anecdotally, I added 40 miles per week of running (actually performance-oriented running, not just casual jogging) to my lifestyle over the past year and it has had literally zero effect on my weight, or, according to my Fitbit Aria scale, my bodyfat. I also haven't been trying to lose weight and have been doing quite a bit of bodyweight strength exercising, so I am not at all surprised by this. I did drop my resting heart rate to about 55bpm and knock 2 minutes off my 5k time (22min --> 20:00), though, which was my goal.

I found that one particular phrase,"technically privileged", both hilarious and utterly horrifying. Hilarious because I suppose I never paused to consider that the folks in my major who were both curious and motivated enough to be involved in the field outside of class to be particularly "privileged". I suppose I should have given greater thought to how unfair it was that read API documents and I didn't!

Like I said though, it wasn't just good times and passive aggressive complaining about first world problems while I read this. I can't even begin to fathom the miserable, pathetic, and generally small, unexamined existence that would lead one to believe that h(s)e is somehow the victim of deep injustice at the hands of those people with their prejudiced technical abilities and natural curiosity! How dare they not level the playing field just because she never bothered to explore the use of code outside the classroom; clearly everyone missed that she's the subjugated one, with a comfortable liberal arts education and regular internet access.

But still, we should all take a moment to recognize the plight of the comfortable, generally satisfactory lives of those among us struggling silently with the burden of "technical un-privilege."
Different results for different people I guess - also your particular workout regime. Doing a lot of heavy lifting (Starting Strength) over nine months resulted in a about 20 pounds of muscle/fat gain for me (but more fat than muscle). This wasn't unexpected, and given my principal objectives were to lift heavy things, I wasn't too concerned. There is a certain amount of satisfaction associated with a 300 pound low bar back squat.
not always. as we've learned from the NSA disclosures, there are many layers of indirection.
Agreed 100%. I don't use it to track weight, but being "Fitbit shamed" when I don't hit 10,000 steps per day is a strong motivator. More athletically speaking, so is missing workouts and thereby kudos from my friends & followers on Strava & Garmin Connect. On days when I really just don't feel like running, this makes the difference between getting out of the house and wasting more time on the innerweb.

You don't need to learn 3 languages to be skilled in Obj-c

Just for one reason, there are many iOS developers in the world, and at the same time C++ and C developers are few today.
Just wanting to share a similar use case for such a project:

Used to work at a company where they were developing mobile games for 50+ different mobile phones, back when there was still more diversity in the market, just when iPhone was still rising to take over the markets.

The method they used at that time for developing their games was to write the project once with Java, then convert with an inhouse build tool to Objective-C++ when targetting iPhone. They even had builtin carbage collection and everything in the converter runtime, it seemed crazy that they would go to such trouble.

But they were releasing about 50+ games a year, a pretty big company, so I guess it paid back in writing the project once and porting to multiple platforms.

Took maybe 25 minutes to compile the whole thing, first from Java to Objective-C++ and then compiling that whole mess of a project in Xcode. It kinda worked, but the performance it produced on the iPhone was far from optimal. Debugging was also horrible.
Hey, this was a worthwhile read. Thanks!
calorie in/out is true, BUT we have no way to measure what we put in and out. That's the problem with most peoples simple assumptions "you have eaten so and so many calorie, therefore .." - it is completely unimportant what you eat. It is important what is usable by your body. And there the "calorie in != calorie out?" research starts ..
I'd recommend the BBC television play The Year of the Sex Olympics. Brave New World but tuned down to something more realistic, and astonishingly prophetic: in the 1960s, it predicts a society kept passive by media full of empty sex, and the invention of reality TV (semi-scripted, of course) to improve the process. I watched it in a group and at the end we just said "wow, it's all come true".

Obj-C because you will eventually need to know it to some extent anyhow.

The quickest way to learn Obj-C is to write command line programs for Mac OSX. Maybe find source for a C or C++ hello world program and convert it to Obj-C. Once you are comfortable with the language then try writing a Mac application or iOS application.
I am well aware of that, being a CS student myself. However, those things are expected to be learned alongside. There won't be lectures about it but hand-on exercises will be impossible without them.
Works very well on my mid-2012 MBP in OSX 10.10 with a puny Intel HD4000 GPU!

The framebuffer completeness check error is a result of some early confusion around the OES_texture_float WebGL/OpenGLES extension. Most browsers interpreted this as being able to both read from a floating point texture, as well as render to a floating point frame buffer. But some (mobile) GPUs can sample fp textures but not render to them. So later another extension was introduced to clean this up (WEBGL_color_buffer_float and others) which specifically handles rendering to fp render targets, while OES_texture_float is restricted to sampling textures. But this is not widely supported yet, and most desktop browsers still support rendering to fp render targets even they only expose the OES_texture_float extension in order to not break backwards compatibility. Because of this, some WebGL code which runs on desktop browsers breaks on some mobile devices even though the code 'properly' checks for extensions.
This is a little bit misleading because it's measuring up to 2 hours after the food was eaten, while some foods take longer than that to digest and to affect satiety. For example, an apple is very satisfying for two hours (high fiber and water content), but not so much after that. A food high in casein like yogurt (unsweetened) is actually going to satisfy you for up to 8 hours because of how long it takes to digest casein.

However, the question I have been struggling with lately has been: how do you pick up something new later on in life?

If you start to learn basket-weaving at 40, you are not going to be a great basket-weaver.

If you start programming at 40, you are not going to become Bill Joy or Fabrice Bellard, sorry. (counterexamples in any field welcome)

Your 10k hours count for much less at 40 than at 15. That guy(Danplan) who started golfing to become a Pro at 28 is slowly starting to find that out despite his progress.

So you have to pick your fights very carefully, if you are a chess master you can probably become a decent shogi or go player and vice versa.

If you have a solid foundation in math, you can probably do decent physics work at 40.

However, and this is what worries me, if your art in grade 5 was dismal, are you going to be able to get decent at 40?
