This has been my experience with notebooks as well, both Moleskin and Leuchttrum (much less) cause feathering with fountain ink pens. I've been using Rhodia web notebooks for a couple of years and they have been great consistently. The only thing I find lacking in Rhodia is a pen loop, so I buy adhesive pen loops separately.

I love the Pilot vanishing point fountain pen that has been my daily driver for the last three years. It writes beautifully and is 'clickable' like most ball point pens. I don't have to worry about buying refills and seems like the ink pot will last me a decade.

Curious about how you transitioned from the fat model architecture to services based in the same codebase? Did you use some sort of versioning?

> The standard one [story] is a comforting tale about grit in the face of adversity – overcoming obstacles, honing skills, working hard – which then inevitably affords entry to the Promised Land. ... But you can also tell a different story, which is more about luck than pluck, and whose driving forces are less your own skill and motivation, and more the happy circumstances you emerged from and the accommodating structure you traversed.

> The long-awaited first results from the Muon g-2 experiment at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory show fundamental particles called muons behaving in a way that is not predicted by scientists’ best theory, the Standard Model of particle physics. This landmark result, made with unprecedented precision, confirms a discrepancy that has been gnawing at researchers for decades.

>patent on noise cancelling expired

Looks like Bose has multiple patents for noise cancelling technology. Did a major one expire?

> Why doesn't IRS have a web app like Turbotax?
