Yep, I ensure I ingest a healthy amount of plain old-fashioned protons. Surely among nature's most ancient foods.

There may not be an official webview, but all (?) major distributions have libwebkit2gtk, which is used by Wails (Go) and Tauri (rust). So it's a de facto standard if not official.

As noted by others, the conclusions of the original article do not exactly match the Guardian or HN title. From the original: "cognitive enrichment was related to lower risk of [Alzheimer's Disease]".

> The more renewables we have, the more expensive the electricity is.

Correlation is not causation. Renewables bring costs down, but other factors affecting Europe and the UK are causing costs to rise, outpacing reductions.

Entire countries flood, entire US states experience drought. That's millions of people, as you well know.

> Stoker, a theatre manager with no medical background, somehow described the basic mechanism of heterochronic parabiosis

Just to pick a nit...

Stoker's story was inspired by "The Vampyre" by physician John Polidori, who doubtless knew whatever his contemporary medics knew about blood.

Polidori, Lord Byron, and Mary Shelley told scary stories to each other by Lake Geneva in 1816, the "year without a summer". It couldn't get more gothic.

Erm, humanity is experiencing recurring mass events right now.

Very true, a bad choice on my part! Still, I stick by the spirit of my comment.

@padjo said it well. Schmaltzy and manipulative. Freeman's folksiness is eye-rollingly clichéd. I cringed throughout the film the first time I tried to watch it, and I haven't lasted more than a few minutes every other time I've tried.

I am very well aware I'm in a minority, though!

Sometimes I think I'm the only person in the world who doesn't like this film.

Have a look at Complete Vocal Technique.

https://completevocalinstitute.com/complete-vocal-technique/

Their work includes pedagogical research to develop a consistent terminology which abandons lots of outdated and confusing terms such as you mention. No more ambiguous words like "project" or "space" or "support".

Their research also includes using endosciopic cameras to directly observe the vocal tracts of professional singers.

I've not actually trained with them, I just like their research and approach.

Yup. Even on mobile the text is too small for me. In particular, the line-height could be larger so links can be tapped more easily.

Nice though, I like it.

Check local/national advice. In many places it is officially advised to take vitamin D supplements, especially in winter or if you have a darker skin tone.

Lovely. It's gratifying to see this broadly matches my own personal SSG: bash, find, sed, envsubst, and pandoc rather than comrak.

My solution: auto-export to a folder then sync using your preferred method. Use the betterbibtex plugin to rename and move all necessary files. Fiddly to set up, but reliable once it's working.

Not OP and this is mere anecdata, but on a modest several-years-old ThinkPad, Zotero was slow when my single collection started pushing over 1,000 papers, most of which had PDFs attached. Starting up would take many seconds (half a minute?) and heavy operations such as bulk-renaming would take minutes. But for day-to-day use (adding references to my collection via a browser plugin) it was fine.

Personally, I used auto-export for all additional functionality. So, I didn't use any Word (LibreOffice) plugins that hooked into Zotero or whatever. I'd just consume a giant .bib file as and when necessary.

On modern hardware Zotero is probably fine. And it's reasonably flexible. A suggestion: export/import a big refs file (plus PDF attachments) and see if it can handle your daily workload. I suspect it will.

I haven't used Zotero in anger for a few years and can't get to my laptop right now to verify. But I used to rely on automatic exports to a folder that I sync'd elsewhere. Never used a paid Zotero subscription, never "self-hosted" it, and had many gigs of data (including PDF attachments) working fine for years.

I used "better bibtex" (?) to ensure files were reliably renamed and moved to an appropriate folder, all automatically.

A real set-and-forget setup that ran without hitch for years.

The "before" pictures occasionally hint at what might be optimism and individuality.

The "after" pictures display a uniformly grim corporate homogeneity.

Maybe this is because the "before" pictures are unguarded, taken before the kool-aid sank in. But they still show people who queued up to drink that kool-aid.

It's a "no" from me.

Please seriously consider *not* using ads to generate revenue. We need to return to other models rather than just slapping ads on everything. Be the change you want to see in the world. Do you really want to see more ads?

Have a look at https://examine.com as the closest site I can think of in this space, and check out their revenue models.

How's Bitwig these days? I've not checked it for years.

Honestly, unless you're going to say you're confused about .net and .io TLDs this comes across as willfully weaponised naivety.

I mean... I don't disagree that there is an onus on any website to make it clear who it's audience is. But .com hasn't been exclusively US centric for literally decades. Even during peak 90s domain name territorialism .com meant "commercial".

People outside the USA, i.e. the majority of the world, often experience the opposite to what you've described: the tiresome implicit assumption that everything on the internet is US-related by default. It's not.

Agreed. I walked past a high-end fashion store in a major European city recently. The big glass door was locked, with a sign explaining that the shop was open, the door was locked to prevent theft. There was one young woman inside staffing the shop, sitting behind a counter. I envied her, I could happily take minimum wage for a year or so, sitting at a desk all day with very occasional interruption, while I tap at a laptop working on personal projects. Unfortunately I'm not a glamorous 20-something European woman.

It may also be a reference to the (comparatively ancient) "Pentium go F00F" bug.

I see another similar comment, but I have an explicit question. Does the following from the README hold any water at all, legally?

> I am not responsible for your use of this tool. ... By using this tool you claim all legal liability for any documents you create with it.

Without a detailed and carefully worded license, does this confer any protection whatsoever?

Having asked that, I'm not sure what protection would be needed. Could a victim of abuse of this tool (or similar) seek some sort of take-down of the tool? It seems unlikely but I'm curious about the scenario.

I suspect blind people imagine that a lot.

The idea is to design for all (or as many as feasible), it's not a binary either/or.

> 3. I tried the usual diff tools. They diffed line by line and result was terrible.

Um. I don't want to be That Guy (shouting at clouds, or at kids to get off my lawn or whatever) but ... what "usual diff" tools did you use? Because comparing two text files with minor edits is exactly what diff-related tools have excelled at for decades.

There is word-level diff, for example. Was that not good enough? Or delta [0] perhaps?
