Cool. I hadn't known the exact provenance of that. There's also "thin blue line" meaning police force[0] (separating decent folk from criminals and chaos) as opposed to a military force[1] which is a red line.

I would add that red lines are topical with Brexit[2] negotiations in the media, lines beyond which this British government is unwilling to step.

> mechanistic studies involving direct feeding & measurement

I believe that's the fancy terminology for "We fed people with substance X and blood marker Y went up", correct me if I'm wrong. How is that in any way reliable unless it's proven that elevated blood marker Y causes CVD? It's only reliable if you want to prove that food X causes elevated Y.

Also, I find it amusing that you're deriding observational studies, yet the study you're quoting is observational. And a big problem with a study like this is that it wouldn't discern between a high-protein diet consisting of bacon/sausages and one consisting of grass-fed beef. Processed meat contains all kind of shit, it's a major staple in people's diets and it's not surprising to me at all if people eating that have more health problems.

I'll go a little further. I've been using Noodler's inks, mostly Heart of Darkness (which is bulletproof), for several years. I started with a TWSBI but when I upgraded to a Pilot Vanishing Point I continued to use Noodler's without any hesitation. It's continued to serve me well, and it remains my favorite and most dependable brand of ink.

I did have one mold issue with Private Reserve in my TWSBI, and to be safe I have avoided using it in my Vanishing Point. I may be being overcautious though; I'm not sure how much to extrapolate from that one incident. My mother is an artist and has used several dozen Private Reserve inks spanning over a decade, all without any issues.

I'm lefthanded and I really doubt this is easily fixable.

From grade 1 to 7 I was exclusively using fountain pens (germany, this is a requirement, so there wasn't a choice) and there was no end of teachers trying to "fix" the lefthanded children in the class.

Writing lefthanded with a ballpoint pen is simply easier than using a fountain pen where I have to either put my hand into a position that cramps after a minute of continuous writing or hover over the paper which also cramps or using a blotting paper, which reduces my ability to keep the last few sentences in mind while writing.

Left-handed writing will also push the pen, inevitably, you will put pressure on it, the light contact required for fountain pens is extremely tired.

After grade 7 I've switched to ballpoint pens, much easier to handle and write. About 4 years ago I managed to find a gas-pressure ballpoint pen which has been the most relaxing way to write.

Unlike normal ballpoint pens, they have gas cartridge behind the ink which expands. They push the ink out of the pen meaning you don't have to press at all to get writing while still getting the benefit of minimal ink usage and quick drying that left-handedness almost requires.
Awesome, I added some links to your submission.

> Slack, like so many others before them, pretend to care about interoperability, opening up just so slightly, so that they can lure in people with the promise of "openness", before eventually closing the gate once they've achieved sufficient size and lock-in.

On spot. People are lured in by hype and forget the long-term consequences. Always chose “open” by design, never by charity.

My major preference for Slack was replacing Skype chats, so there was no loss in terms of open source.

Lots of people complain that it's just a fancy IRC client, but they don't realise how painless it is to get non-tech people to start using it.

But quite clearly there needs to be a fully open sourced alternative.

I think WordPress is a great example of how it should be done. Provide a super simple way to create xxx.slackclone.com in exactly the same number of steps as it takes to create a slack group whilst also providing something that you can download and install yourself.

I think any project would have to be in PHP. Perhaps that sounds stupid but I think again following the WordPress model is a good track. PHP is the most easy way for low-tech people to get their own up and running. It should be as easy as the 5-minute WordPress install to get your own server.

edit: Plus PHP is what Slack is built on and I quite like the irony. The further irony though is that WordPress use Slack now. Perhaps in a similar way that WordPress fought against the React licensing they might replace Slack if there was a good enough clone.

As far as I can tell the aim could be to create as close as possible a clone of slack, ripping off as many features as possible without stepping over a boundary where Slack could try and shut you down.

Do you want to use your resources to help your children thrive? If so, then you've got to be OK when extremely rich to exactly that. It might not seem "fair" when you asses heirs as individuals, as if they appeared out of thin air - but they didn't.

Compressing and enhancing hand-written notes (2016)
Your talking about what’s on the market right now, or coming out based on existing tech. It’s exactly that kind one short term “everything’s fine, we’re doing great as we are” thinking that the OP article is deconstructing. It’s what killed Nokia, Blackberry and Palm, as he pointed out. Chip fabricators like Intel are making investments now that won’t affect the market for 6 years (2014 announcement of expected launch of 450nm tech in 2020).

ARM tech is on an intersect trajectory with x86 tech, and it’s only a matter of time before those lines cross. Up until then Intel will do fine. After that, all bets are off. Fortunately for Intel, they’re a couple of steps ahead of you in that at least they now see the problem.
One of the rules is to never offer your gold nib fountain pen to anyone. Gold nibs are soft and adapts to your writing style over the time that people who are not familiar with fountain pens but biros usually press too hard to the paper that alters the soft nib.
I think my earliest memory was standing at the door to my basement with one hand on the door knob and the other hand counting, saying something along the lines of "I'm 3 now" or something. Either that or it was some sort of daycare visit. Order is difficult to remember.

As I began typing this I just remembered this football toy chest I used to have in my basement.

The earliest thing I don't remember for which there is (was?) recorded evidence of, is me as a toddler picking up giant carpenter ants and trying to put them in my mouth before a parent came over and stopped me.
So how do you propose they make money instead?
I recommend trying out gas-pressure ballpoints. Some may know them as "space pen" but if you look for something with that name, you overpay most of the time. I got mine for about 5€ including cartridge.

The advantages, IMO, is that they require much less friction and pressure to write and last much longer: I've been using the same cartridge for about 5 years now, two of which I spent with writing a lot (higher school; FOS, german school type) and the rest with infrequent usage (sometimes dry ink collects at the tip but it'll break off once you start writing.

The only downside is that some models tend to leak more ink than necessary, I've observed this in two cheaper cartridges that I only used briefly. It leads to some smudging if you're lefthanded.
Brilliant work. I suspect that this approach will catch fire in the academic community. An important next step is to create a Docker image with the necessary software and add it to DockerHub, so users like myself don't have to install LaTeX.
Also, for those still using IRC, and needing an easy way to get others on it: IrcCloud is an excellent service with a mobile client lightyears beyond any other.

Surprisingly cheap.

There's recently been a scandal unfolding in Norway where the parliament has been building a 250 meter long tunnel into its parking garage. Almost exactly 1/100th the length of the Lærdal Tunnel.

So far this project has cost 2.3 billion NOK, or 1.3 billion more than the Lærdal Tunnel. That comes out to 1180 million USD per km.

(To be fair, included in that price is also the renovation of a building external to the parliament).
This is the main reason why my team switched to use self-hosted Mattermost. Unlimited message history is important for us, but not worth what Slack would cost when something like Mattermost is available. If you're a tech team with people who know Linux, I don't understand why you would choose Slack over something like Mattermost. If you're a small business without a tech team, more understandable.

IMHO, the future is solar energy and storage. If coal wants to remain significant in long term, it has to find arguments.

Here is a serious question I've been wondering about for a while:

Is there any real compelling need for shells to support both a CLI (Command Line Interface) and a scripting language?

As (I assume) most shell scripting languages support #! as the first line of their scripts, why not develop a pure CLI that has no native scripting language?

Edit: to be clear I'm not suggesting the OP (Original Poster) do this, but rather that they need not feel they also need to develop a CLI as well.
> "Growth in a new product with lots of potential applications is a much better indicator of a company's potential to continuing earning returns in the future"

New opportunities in an existing market are equally as effective in spurring on growth. For example, there doesn't seem to be any reduction in appetite for servers, and Intel has been the market leader in this space for a while. Just because we've had server market for over half a century doesn't mean it's lacking in potential growth.

If it's accurate, the following graph is quite telling:

- APIs (Flask,..)

Also many Artificial Intelligence Tools and Apis of other services have support for Python.

The size the community is also very important. When There are a big community is more easy to find developers and events/meetups where the community talks about Python and use cases.

Haskell is also a good lenguaje and easy to learn but Python and Haskell are languages with differences https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonVsHaskell
Maybe you're using "chat based therapy" to mean something specific, but some talking therapies have excellent evidence (large amounts of robustly analysed data across a wide range of different people with different types of depression) and eg cognitive behaviour therapy is about 60% effective. CBT combined with anti-depressant medication with some social intervention (housing, employment, social activity, debt, etc) is about as good as we can do at the moment.

In England if you get CBT from the NHS you're getting it from someone with a qualification and a professional registration, working for an organisation that has safeguarding policies and their own registration. (Although some English IAPT is over the telephone, or self guided on computer).

If you're talking about non-specific counselling then I agree - the evidence for that is weak at best.

I agree about Woebot. I haven't seen much evidence and it's worrying that people always overplay the efficacy of an intervention, until we get a good trial to show it's not that brilliant.
Then they could at least say so. Not making some BS excuses.

Agree. To give context, this is an editorial in a sports medicine journal.

It's not a trial, meta-analysis, or even a systematic review.
Can someone give a tl;dw summary? :)
I agree, the author complains about something they actually do not understand. I'm sure many people will agree with the author, I'm not sure I do. If Slack changes something or does something that I don't agree with, I will find another solution. If it changes in a way that affects the workplace, we will find another solution. This is why other similar systems exist like Mattermost.

Amazing how nobody who reports on this puts forward any numbers.

This Appalachian coal is said to have over 300ppm of rare earth oxides in it.

That means for every ton of coal, we're talking about 300g of material. Compare conventional rare earth ores, where for every ton, we're talking about 90kg (Mountain Pass).

It's nice and all that these things are in coal, but thermal coal's already on its way out, Appalachian thermal coal especially due to its high cost and high sulfur content, and a couple pennies of rare earths per ton is a worse use of resources than Powder River coal + actual rare earth mining.

Doesn't saturated fat trigger inflammation? Because if I remember that correctly, then this is a "guns don't kill people, bullets do" argument.

Similarly, doesn't it also cause arterial stiffening? It is not the same process as arterial clogging but definitely makes it worse and is part of heart disease.

Again, I may be misremembering this - I could be confusing fat and meat, for example. Either way it boils down to "eat mostly plants"

Cool project; it's really impressive and I'd love to use once it gets stable, but don't you think your claim is a bit incompatible with your method?
I remember when TLS was about security, not privacy. I also remember when proxies were a tool to help everyone, not just corporations who wanted to inspect all your traffic.

By ensuring that HTTPS is used everywhere, and that no other security regimes are allowed, they've killed proxies for all uses except spying on users. The end result is some of the Internet is now less private, by design.

If you think proxies are a useful tool to save bandwidth, decrease latency and reduce load, and want to stay secure, but not necessarily private, there are very obvious ways this can be done. But there are people literally fighting against this because they want privacy or nothing.

This is Internet puritanism.
