"near consensus" .. yeah I've come to realise that this is not as straightforward as it is often presented. For a start, a scientist would not find the term "consensus" at all compelling. Things are either proven or

I think it is important to acknowledge that there is a continually rolling narrative about an impending catastrophe in 15 years from now. In 1988, New York was going to be underwater by 2000. Etc. It is crazy to look back at the endless se

I draw no conclusions about his legal win. But I do note that he is a scientist who worked on the reef and he completely disagrees. I additionally note that he was pretty aggressively silenced and his livelihood taken away, "unfairly&q

For balance, I would point out that there is an alternative point of view: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7j75L38PlI I find it hard to know what to believe. 5 years ago it seemed clear everything was going to hell in a h

The journalist who wrote this graduated two months ago. Since then he has churned out a few negative articles about Telsa, while also being breathless with excitement and uncritical about how VW and Ford announced some future collaboration

I've been following Tesla news fairly closely for maybe 18 months. This kind of misinformation-based article happens regularly. The combined forces of big oil and big auto have considerable sway over certain kinds of news organisati

LISPs have this idea so deeply etched into them that code itself is data - homoiconicity. In the Clojure community, for example, you will find that the primacy of data is well understood and used. Data-Oriented design and all that. You&#x2

> Clojure is a language for people who know what they are doing by people who know what they are doing. Oh, goodie. I'm part of an elite club with high barriers to entry.

Please everyone, upvote dantiberian's answer. He nails it. The moment you get over expecting Clojure to behave like a typical "open source" project and understand it is Rich Hickey's personal project (+ Cognitect's)

I was an early adopter of Tableau and fairly enthusiastic. But then I had a truly terrible licencing experience with them and have, since, refused to have ANYTHING to do with them. Nice enough software, but a sleazy organisation. Use one of

I've used clojurescript commercially for a couple of years. It has been a good experience. More than anything it has completely changed my world view (and I'm a very experienced, older programmer who has seen a bit). I feel very

My take: Facebook are killing it because they are pursuing functional, reactive, declarative designs. The next step on is to consider using a LANGUAGE that naturally supports this paradigm: Clojurescript or Elm are the obvious choices. Thi

No zippers? Why then does the official OM docs say "Cursors are conceptually related to functional lenses and zippers". Remember this thread relates to how simple or easy OM is to grok. And no message channels? Why then does the

OM components are complex. There are global transaction/message channels, component local state, an OO backpane, lifecycle functions, functional zippers, hierarchy organised data, etc. I can't understand how anyone could claim it

Yes, indeed, this approach from Famous is VERY similar (in structure) to both: - re-frame ( https://github.com/Day8/re-frame ) and - the Elm Architecture. ( https://github.com/evancz/elm-architec

Ahh. You just haven't been around Python for long enough. Python used to get new server framework every other week. There was a Cambrian Explosion of them at one stage. Then it settled down. Javascript is still evolving. React has

Grains injure and inflame the gut walls OF EVERONE. A cascade of negative effects follow. And, yes, those with celiac disease are particularly obviously effected.

by MikeOfAu 16y ago
Dropping grains will decrease gut inflammation. That has all sorts of benefits. Your friend had obvious symptoms which you don't, but that doesn't mean you wouldn't benefit, perhaps greatly. Give it a go for a month. See what happens.
