Programmers aren't the only people that have existential thoughts about what they devote their time, energy, and ultimately life to.

If the author thinks there's something fundamentally more "worthy" about farming than software development, he doesn't bother making that point with any great detail. I got nothing from this story.

Christ, so much hatred.

I like the desktop site, I like the mobile site, and I like and appreciate that you're giving us an insight in to your tech stack and how content is published.

Cheers beeb.

Thanks for clarification :). /files under 'non-story'

I'm probably being dense, but that did not help me understand it at all.

I understand the perceived flaw in the previous studies that former heavy drinkers, now teetotalers, were included in the non-drinking bracket and therefore negatively skewing the results for non-drinkers, HOWEVER, is the article still not claiming that even having adjusted for that that the results still show benefits from small amounts of alcohol?

I don't think Firefox or Chrome, I think Mozilla or Google.

Easy choice.

Am I the only one who thinks this article contradicts itself? Starts off leading towards some great conclusion that any amount of alcohol is bad for you, then tails off with this:

"The team found there's at best a small decline in mortality rates for men aged 50 to 64 and women aged 65 and older. Former drinkers, meanwhile, had somewhat higher mortality rates than others, suggesting that past claims light drinking was good for your heart were based on faulty comparisons. After all, some of those who'd quit were probably heavy drinkers in the past, and, compared to them, light drinkers had likely done less damage to their hearts."

In summary, it appears to be saying that there's a small benefit in light to moderate alcohol consumption but heavy drinking is probably bad ... uh no shit, that's what people have been saying for years?

what .. why ..

Atom runs like a dog. If ever there was an argument for native apps, Atom makes it. The one thing you want, nay .. expect, from a simple text editor is that it doesn't LAG.

The git source tree highlighting and the image previews are the only two things I liked about it.

what absolute nonsense. I don't find these female superheroes any more attractive than the woman in the comic you linked to finds the muscled men attractive. There's no evidence that any fewer women find the muscled man a sexual fantasy than men find the big bewbed woman.

I had to stop halfway through because the pretentiousness was overbearing.

There's almost no academic pride left in British universities. There may be amongst the staff and students, but not at the top. So disappointing.

Great write-up, and thanks Sam and Sean!

Makes me wonder how bad it would have been without Adequate Record? I would imagine it's a bit disheartening for Aaron that all his hard work making AR 2-times faster have been obliterated by other stuff! ..

Oh boo-hoo, "it's really inconvenient and unhealthy and it's competitive and I'm a damp rag." Man that read sucked the life out of me.

Not sure how helpful this is, when it says there's no method called xyz, it's pretty obvious you called the wrong method, or you called it on the wrong thing. Your first thing should be checking that you didn't call the wrong method name.. which involves looking at the error which repeats the method name that you tried to call, and the object you called it on.

Bizarre that this is a genuine hang-up for people.
