If you read the paper…

This finding remained robust to the inclusion of covariates describing high-school achievement, intelligence, family background, earnings as adults, as well as mental and physical health in middle adulthood.

Adore the darktable gang.

Hi, I’m Issac Newton, you might remember me from… The motions.

Petition to edit all textbooks, renaming Newton as THE Motion Guy.

Yeah, no.

Newton was such a complex human. He seemed capable of holding many, sometimes opposing beliefs, at the same time.

Newton’s conception of the physical world provided a model of the natural world that would reinforce stability and harmony in the civic world. Newton saw a monotheistic God as the masterful creator whose existence could not be denied in the face of the grandeur of all creation.

There’s even a Wikipedia page dedicated to his religious beliefs.

If you are into learning about him there’s also a rather good read, The Janus Faces of Genius, by Betty Jo Teeter Dobbs, that looks into his occult work.

Furthermore, for the sake of complexity, we can look into how, when he was the warden of the mint, he became responsible for the deaths of 19 people. He turned a largely ceremonial role into a task force, chasing down forgers and sentencing them to death.

Dunno, just feels like a vague statement with no real evidence.

Sort of like, “you wouldn’t know my girlfriend, she goes to a different school”.

…we didn’t start the fire…

Really, which scientists?

The comment section of that video demonstrates why many people ate put off by the Linux community.

Sure, the guy made a bad call on manjaro, but the weird smug comments and toxicity as a response seems disproportionate.

The arch userbase pretending they did something more difficult than follow a recipe.

John Wayne Gacy feels snubbed.

What is this? A shredder for ants?!

Seconded. I keep trying others. I tried feedly for a while. I also tried readyou (which I still keep on my phone)… But nothing comes as close to inoreader for doing what I want.

Also, I’ve learnt how to aggregate other feeds into a single feed to pass them into it to get around the 150 limit. Not ideal, but I’m cheap.

If you’ve got wood, you’ve got something to drink.

It is a great step forward, but the barrier to entry is relatively high. You can sign up to substack for free and they take a cut of your profits (that most writers don’t draw enough attention to earn.

Meanwhile ghost charges $9 a month, billed annually.

That’s a significant barrier to anyone that can’t afford to see if their writing will be popular and as long as that remains it will struggle to gain traction in the same way.

And yeah, I know you could host your own too, but again a price point and a technical barrier.

I like ghost, the interface and the ecology, but the truth is that it isn’t going to attract the sort of vibrant, young community it needs if you have to stump up $108 just to see.

I think one of the great things about 2000s/early 2010s internet was the proliferation of free to use platforms like livejournal, blogger and WordPress. Sure there was a lot or jank, but I found some of my favourite writers back when they were scratching their name into the internet.
