This kind of articles are just another excuse for paralysis by analysis and for people to stay fat.

Most of the time, your metabolism doesn't matter.

And it never matters if you train with high intensity and have a decent muscle mass.


It depends on the fitness level of the subjects. The more fit they are, the less low intensity exercise (treadmill) is effective.

More info here: https://roguehealthandfitness.com/importance-exercise-intens...


Also depends on how you use it.

If slow, long jogs aren't cutting it—hit the sprints. 20 seconds on (full out), 30 seconds off (medium-light pace), or some similar interval.


Scala is exactly what you're looking for.


> It's _reasonably_ strongly typed

> time assurances of correctness _in a majority of cases_

So basically, let's do it and pray it works, maybe?


You don't have to pray. In elixir/erlang the motto is let it fail. If it fails, it crashes, and you have supervisors that are nearly free, and your service will resume itself noncatastrophically. You're generally free to code the happy path.


> I'm able to find code errors at compile time

I don't know Elixir.

How do you do that? Do you use Dialyzer?


Not in France for example.


Totally agree. I would personally not pay $20 for the unknown.


Nice read. I too highly encourage people to use CyanogenMod.

One thing that was worth being mentioned is one of the very best features of CyanogenMod: Privacy Guard.

It basically allows grained control over what permissions can an application have (read/write contacts, phone logs, location, etc). It's of course possible to allow an access all the time, or just when needs it.

Thanks to privacy guard, one can use applications that might compromise privacy, without compromising privacy.

When using the "ask every time", I've been surprised how many applications try to access my info for no obvious reason, sometimes even when your phone's idle.


It looks great and I'll play with it a little more later.

Suggestions:

- Host your scripts instead of using googleapis.com. Don't feed Google data about your visitors.

- Autofocus the new textareas.

- Support Ctrl+Enter (or Cmd+Enter).


> - Host your scripts instead of using googleapis.com. Don't feed Google data about your visitors.

What is wrong with giving google the data, in exchange for the free bandwidth and api's?


I think it's okay to let google host scripts. You get the benefit of a CDN for free.

I agree with your other suggestions though.


Thanks, good tips for usability.


I find it surprising that people are so desperate they beg the Dropbox company and still want to use the software after this.

1) You CAN live without Dropbox. There are alternatives (I personally use BTSync, which is great). 2) You shouldn't NOT be using an American service that holds and versions your data in first place. It is not new that all these services are wiretrapped, or at least easily accessible by the gov (not mentioning they sell/use your privacy to make money). 3) They won't kick out such an "extremely brilliant and accomplished individual". 4) Even if she gets kicked or leaves, this is yet another reason to not trust them, since they're blind/careless enough to hire her.
