WhyDoiPostHere··on GitHub is undergoing a full-blown overhaul as execs and employees depart
Meh, I think we need to fork github. Gitlab supports the same nonsense github does.
WhyDoiPostHere··on iPhones 'disabled' if Apple detects third-party repairs
I wonder if that isn't the case. If that's true, that would be a shame, but I can't blame them.

For me, the real question is where have all the hackers gone? Years ago, there were high quality contributors here. They all had to go somewhere. When slashdot was dying, it was clear where everyone went (HN and Digg). This time around, it's not clear at all.

> A perfect example of what I'm talking about.

It's certainly a perfect example that people see what they want to see, even when presented with overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

I'm talking about you, by the way.

WhyDoiPostHere··on The Sad State of Web Development
Webdev has always been shit. Anybody remember xhtml? From the very beginning, everything the w3 standards body touches has been a design by committee nightmare. The latest generation is just more of the same.

That said, it's not going anywhere anytime soon. "Because it makes lives easier for developers" is not a valid reason for most end users to change their habits.

Personally, I'm banking on better tooling. Most single page webapps today are just more complicated versions of fancy UX on top of an excel spreadsheet. So why are there no graphical design tools that let you visually set up the application, visually see where the data comes from and where it goes and then spits out html, css and react code? The state of the art in code generation has come a long way since dreamweaver.

And the stored calories, like body fat and glycogen? What side of the equation are those on? And the energy needed to convert complex carbs and protein into glycogen? The energy used converting glycogen to ATP?

If you can demonstrate everywhere the energy comes from and everywhere it goes and where and how it's used in the body, I imagine there's a nobel prize in it for you. There's still a lot we don't know about where all that energy comes from and goes.

Because carbs affect insulin. When your insulin is high, you store fat. When your insulin is low, you burn fat. It's that simple. Combine that with the fact we in the western world overconsume carbs because they're cheap and addictive and you get your answer.

Lifting may be boring, but it's not time consuming. If you want to build muscle, you want to stick to high weight/low reps anyway. The benefits weight lifting gives you is enormous and extends well beyond just building muscle.
