   I've just read the book: https://www.ynharari.com/book/sapiens-2/ Which describes the journey of humankind through the ages. The author has an interesting take on farming in general, in that farming led to c

   It differs across the UK. In Scotland things are now far worse: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-535... The SNP are trying to be far more authoritarian than the Tory's at this point.

   How about old-school mailing lists? They seem to be still used by OSS teams.

   I think the technical obstacle to even get onto IRC acts like a great-filter, most the people on there have an interest in it and brain cells to use technology. Unlike Discord where you can just sign up from your mobile phone...

   Last November I started to have serious digestive upset, to the point where I missed most meals due to nausea, stomach cramps and diarrhea. Lost a tonne of weight and fell into anxiety and depression. I was introduced to the idea of FODMAPs

    Good. Perhaps it will encourage some people to not post on Twitter, and use something more appropriate? One can hope...

    Could pivot into cyber-security? This could be bug bounties or pen-testing. Basically knowing how software is built gives you a massive advantage here. I imagine your pay would go down as you start, but you're going to have to accept

    He's famous enough to have his own web page running on his own server. Have an RSS feed so journalists and the like can get updates. This is basic stuff that anyone with an interest in technology can achieve with minimal funds.

    Yes every episode is worth listening to. I like how they might be talking about a serious subject one minute, then crack a joke at just the right time.

    How about the payed version has a solid VPN thrown in? And I mean a VPN using Mozilla infrastructure... Not a 3rd party. There's a whole market around VPNs... So obviously enough money in that space.

    Why not just cycle before and after work at home? It will bookend your work-day. For me, not having a commute means I have more time to exercise at home (I just go for walks). I also have more energy to use my homegym (just some weights).

    In the past I always found Visual Studio to be a solid dev environment. This was for C++, where the debugger was unmatched by anything else. Things may have changed since then (8+ years ago)?

    Thanks. I think here in the West we have turned our backs on religion, and are now seeing the fallout from that. Religion not only defines a culture's moral code, but produces all sorts of additional glue binding people together. I&#x2

    So the company's performance suffers and their competition who don't indulge in DIE will benefit from those male candidates. Sounds like another case of "go woke go broke". This is why we see a lot of progressive policie

    When filling out forms when it includes DIE questions, the best approach is to check all the boxes. If anyone questions it they can land themselves in real deep water. The best way to combat this nonsense is peaceful protesting.

    I wouldn't mind seeing a computer first before a GP. A lot of the time a GP will say something like "here try these tablets and come back in a week". The true worth of a GP is the follow-up appointments and understanding cond
