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.

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.

https://hackdesign.org/ is a really nice collections of design articles, videos and tutorials.

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.

The design of the website is awful. Its very difficult to read the content.

Re:GitHub's on your phone on Monday July 15, 2013 @05:07PM (#6048560)
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!

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.
Re:Ask HN: I'm an engineer, how do I learn design? on Saturday May 25, 2013 @02:50PM (#5768314)
I can second this. Ive been going over the hackdesign material for the past few months and Ive found it really useful
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.

Think this maybe the first repo I've seen with more forks (224) than stars (132)
