dsyph3r··on The Sugar Conspiracy
If you read the article you would have seen this

"There has been no commensurate decline in physical activity, in either country – in the UK, exercise levels have increased over the last 20 years."

Sure, exercise is important, but a potential lack of it is not the problem. The most significant way you can interact with you body is through the food/drink you put in your mouth.

Food has changed so much over the past few decades that most people no longer eat food but instead consume food like products.

dsyph3r··on The Sugar Conspiracy
Fructose is not bad when its delivered with fiber. When you eat fruit, you are getting mostly fiber with a small portion of sugar. When you are eating refined sugars such as high fructose corn syrup you are getting very little or no fiber. The lack of fiber allows the sugar to be absorbed extremely quickly, which overloads your liver.
dsyph3r··on Ask HN: How to learn design as a hacker?
https://hackdesign.org/ is a really nice collections of design articles, videos and tutorials.
dsyph3r··on Write Code Every Day
I agree. Its nice to get away form the computer and achieve other things. A break from coding also helps build hunger to get back into it on a Monday morning. I love programming, but there's a lot more to life that doing it everyday.

That's not what I see... http://oi57.tinypic.com/205rx9i.jpg

The design of the website is awful. Its very difficult to read the content.
dsyph3r··on How does Trello access the user's clipboard?
This was posted only a few weeks ago
dsyph3r··on GitHub's on your phone
This is by far one of the best updates GitHub has made recently. Using the current GitHub on a mobile device is difficult and slow. Really pleased to see this done!
dsyph3r··on Bono predicted, Woz endorsed it
Would be good if this information was on the website. I was trying to find out if it was available for android but couldn't find anything about it (or the app in general). That aside though, this looks really great.
dsyph3r··on Ask HN: I'm an engineer, how do I learn design?
I can second this. Ive been going over the hackdesign material for the past few months and Ive found it really useful
dsyph3r··on GitHub donates private repositories to women learning open source software
Writing code in an open source environment can be extremely intimidating. There is an unfortunate element of elitism around writing code and this can be very off putting for many people. Being able to code, learn, and get criticism in the privacy of a private repository is a big step toward open sourcing your code

I think you're missing the point.
dsyph3r··on A Social Coding Experiment
Think this maybe the first repo I've seen with more forks (224) than stars (132)
dsyph3r··on Ask HN: Good iPad apps for children to help with learning?
Thanks, this looks really great. Will definitely check this out.
dsyph3r··on Tell HN: Why I think responsive design sucks
I think you're missing the point of responsive design. Zooming on a smart phone is not a good user experience, its much better that content is displayed in a way that suits the device better
dsyph3r··on Amazon Acquires Social Reading Site Goodreads
I was never a big reader of books before I joined Goodreads. I spent a lot of time reading tech books (mostly programming related) but never fictional books. Since joining Goodreads and enjoying the social aspect Ive read so many more books. I really hope Amazon doesn't destroy this service
dsyph3r··on Announcing Backbone.js 1.0
Of all the JS libraries/frameworks I've used Backbone.js is the one I always come back to. Great to see the 1.0 release. Keep up the great work
dsyph3r··on Check out my new sports startup Chestbumpp
Quite like the idea if this. How long till its available?
dsyph3r··on Ask HN: Your favorite to-do list or task manager?
Not yet, its likely we will have a public API in the future.
dsyph3r··on Ask HN: Your favorite to-do list or task manager?
Thanks for the feedback. DropTask is still at a relatively early-stage so we are constantly working on adding new features. The ability to see tasks from different grouping perspectives sounds really interesting.
dsyph3r··on Ask HN: Your favorite to-do list or task manager?
We recently released our visual task management app DropTask (https://www.droptask.com). It allows you to split your tasks across projects, categorize them using nested sub grouping and schedule them easily using the week view.
dsyph3r··on Show HN: I made a draggable font-size controller for HN
Whats wrong with just using the default browser zoom?
dsyph3r··on Programming is not a Glamorous Job
I'm not so sure that public percepiton is different. Loads of people I know still think that because I'm a programmer I must be an expert in fixing printers, or formatting spreadsheets.
dsyph3r··on Expected arrival times for Apple products
I hope that's not right, just ordered a MBA a few days ago
