   Where's the code? Is Sava OS free software / open source? Your site implies that it is, but I did not see any link to a public repo..

   I agree with @kkfx. lisp/clojure world is good to help with long-term maintainability, etc. To get an idea search for Rich Hickey's talk "Simple Made Easy"

   Agreed: my father-in-law was continuously trashing his Windows install. Many years ago, I put him on Linux Mint + MATE where he only uses Firefox and a bit of LibreOffice -- he's been fine with this setup -- his only remaining issues (

   Hold a vote among participants to cancel daily stand-ups. Agile is supposed to be about doing what works for the team and my guess is the stand-ups aren't working for a majority! ;)

    I'm not sure these nutritional approaches are relevant for your Mom's condition, but they may be worthwhile looking into if they can possibly help stop or delay the progression: http://doctoryourself.com/eyesight.h

    I read this guy's book and he has some good ideas (and references to back them up). You don't need to get his book as his website also has all of that material+. http://doctoryourself.com/herpes.html Another relat

    I run Linux on my HP laptop. I don't use any proprietary software. So, for myself, I don't see this buy vs. subscribe dichotomy. By the way, I'm using Linux Mint + MATE and everything works pretty well. Unfortunately, my work

    I think your idea of limiting Slack is great. You can provide an alternative to be reachable for emergencies if needed. In addition in my reading, I've come across some helpful nutritional approaches and these were news to me: http:&#

    I used it across the tubes! ;) I support my in-laws and my daughters running Linux on their laptops and it worked fine and was pretty quick. By the way -- we are all running various fairly recent versions of Linux Mint with the MATE desktop

    Hi Scollet, I see you have dismissed my comment, but I hope you will investigate the evidence and see for yourself. Optimal nutrition can be very helpful and even in many cases a cure. And, it beats the drugs offered by most doctors with th

    I think vitamin B6 is supposed to do it. I had symptoms in one wrist. Was pretty bad. I started taking a B Complex (B50) a couple times a day and it went away within a week. Some C would probably also help.
