Quantified Self: The Ultimate Beginner's Guideand List of the Best Personal Data Tools Out There) A transformation is happening. People, like you, are taking control of something conventional wisdom has told us is not ours to understand: our health. Why are we fat? What makes us feel sluggish? What causes our disease? How can I improve? Watch Ari Meisel explain how he cured his Crohn’s disease by following data. This is the Quantified Self. This is not new. The only difference today is the technology. Self-trackers are pushing the limits of personal health. As self-trackers are pushing the movement forward, entrepreneurs are helping it scale. Why this matters Where there are trends, there are opportunities. Crowdfunding sites are often a good indicator of market trends, and quantified self tools are among the most successful.

UniMOOC The Law of Leaky Abstractions by Joel Spolsky Monday, November 11, 2002 There's a key piece of magic in the engineering of the Internet which you rely on every single day. It happens in the TCP protocol, one of the fundamental building blocks of the Internet. TCP is a way to transmit data that is reliable. We use TCP for many things like fetching web pages and sending email. By comparison, there is another method of transmitting data called IP which is unreliable. Here's the magic part: TCP is built on top of IP. To illustrate why this is magic, consider the following morally equivalent, though somewhat ludicrous, scenario from the real world. Imagine that we had a way of sending actors from Broadway to Hollywood that involved putting them in cars and driving them across the country. That is, approximately, the magic of TCP. Back to TCP. This is what I call a leaky abstraction. Abstractions fail. During my first Microsoft internship, I wrote string libraries to run on the Macintosh. Next: Lord Palmerston on Programming
