They use the example of "burger" when arguing that words should only have their original meaning. However, if we want to make that argument, then "burger" is also incorrect. The word should only be "hamburger", and this should be reserved for food produced in Hamburg.

Using only "fewer" for countable nouns is a myth. It was just a "rule" made up by some guy in 1770. Both "less" and "fewer" have been used for centuries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

I stopped using Startpage when they were (partially) bought out by an advertising company. https://reddit.com/r/privacy/c... Another alternative is searX, which is FOSS. It's hard to find a public instance that works well though.

Close, but not exactly the same. :x is even better, because :wq will force a write no matter what, and :x will only write if the document has changed.

This was a while ago, but I couldn't use Swiftkey because it left trailing spaces after writing, and that irked my OCD. I'm not sure if they ever fixed that.

I moved from TB to mutt/neomutt a couple of years ago and never looked back. It took a little while to set up, but the migration was definitely worth it. TB is extremely bloated in comparison.

> will land a permanent staff position at a university

I have no doubt it's dire, but it's a bit of misleading statistic. Most academic positions are relatively short-term contracts, often 2-3 years.

This actually has everything to do with this article! One hypothesis is that toxo-infected humans have increased risk-taking behaviour. There's an association with toxoplasmosis and accidents/suicides, for example. This risk-taking would supposedly make humans more susceptible to being predated on by big cats, thus again allowing toxo to continue its life cycle. Presumably if the parasite can mess with your brain, it's also capable of doing other things that might make you more likely to be eaten by Smilodon.

Yes, I can also recommend Squeezebox aka Logitech Media Server. I also have a few Raspberry Pis running it. The other advantage over Sonos (apart from being cheaper and libre) is that you supply your own sound system, so you are not tied into their hardware, and you can use a cheap but quality old amp.

That article itself linked to a follow up from the same author, who doesn't recommend doing this hack for several reasons. He also says that updates for embedded XP was scheduled to end in April 2016.

I wish I had mod points! Thank you for that information. I'm in the market for a new phone, and now I know to avoid OnePlus like the plague!

If they can't quantify the false positive rate, then it's potentially useless. It's like saying having blood is an indicator of stroke risk. 100% of strokes are caused by having blood. However, if you don't report the false positive rate, it's meaningless. Just because you have blood (or an abnormal heart rhythm) doesn't mean you have an increased chance of strokes.

> About a quarter of strokes are caused by an abnormal heart rhythm

But what about the opposite? How frequently does an abnormal heart rhythm result in a stroke? TFA doesn't mention it.

If this is a low proportion, then there will be many false positives, making detection of abnormal heart rhythm useless in terms of stroke prediction. It will only serve in increase anxiety of users.

I find Esc too difficult to type frequently as a vim user. I remapped jk to Esc a while ago now. http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Avoi...

So would I, apparently.
