I'll second this. I keep a fountain pen with my notebook because fountain pens make me want to write more.


I've been meaning to get a fountain pen myself. Never did I expect to know about pens in this thread. :) The Pigma Micron looks fabulous (and not so expensive too) as well.


Try Pilot Metropolitan, they are nice entry-level fountain pens.


This is the way to do it. With a nice notebook and a nice pen, writing becomes a pleasure. I has the added benefit of your notes naturally becoming neater.


The pen is the toughest choice!

I like the Uniball Vision Elite with the bold point in blue.

I've run out today and am reduced to a US Government Skilcraft pen. A decided downgrade


Definitely! Second hardest is paper for me. I've finally settled on Muji's .7 pens and .5 grid notebooks. Very cheap, and the notebooks are thin enough that you get a frequent fresh start.

I choose physical notebooks over digital because it's easier to go freeform when needed and you don't need most of what you think is important at the time.


Can recommend OHTO Horizon as a general fine ballpoint (and I have an OHTO Minimo in my card case for emergencies.)


I also love the Pigma Micron 03 pens.


Pilot Capless (Matt Black, slowly turning bronze) - best pen I own by a long way.


You have to click it to make it do anything. It's a bookmarklet.


NYT is pretty obnoxious in other ways, though, especially with a touchscreen. If you click and drag to highlight something, it navigates to a different article. If you double-click to select a word, it changes the text size. If you accidentally hit the left or right arrow key while trying to scroll up or down, it again tries to load the next article.


And it's not possible to select text at all on Mobile.

I've taken to using alternative links (archive.is, archive.org, outline.com) for sharing the articles simply because it's too much of a PITA to manage the NYTimes.com page itself.


I'm sure you're well aware that this depends on the workplace.


Not really. At least, not to any sizeable amount. It depends more on the country, but if a decade on the same job is a long time on your region, then no workplace will have a healthy community.


TFS+git would be my guess.


Their stock started climbing about 8 months before they got rid of stack ranking. I wouldn't chalk up Microsoft's stock growth to "they suddenly figured out how to treat people better."


What bugged me more was the snippets designed to show how hard it is to write shell scripts. It looked like the author just didn't know enough about their tools:

>How to touch all files in foo (and its subfolders)?

    find foo -print0 | xargs -0 touch
    find foo -exec touch {} \;
I agree with the other commenters who think it's fine to write whatever you like on your own blog, I just feel that it went from interesting historical warts to bagging on legacy systems because they're complicated.


If we take UNIX to mean the POSIX standard, it doesn't work because -print0 is not in POSIX, and neither is -0 for xargs.


I can pop my ears by plugging my nose and making a "k" or "g" sound. Comes in handy since my Eustachian tubes are essentially useless.


What I described above is called a BTV. This sounds like a Frenzel, which is the one most experienced freedivers use. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ear_clearing


Huh, I thought this was the val salva maneuver.


CBD has absolutely no recreational appeal, so if you followed intuition rather than calling a lawyer it would make sense that it didn't fall under rules that consider marijuana a drug with a high potential for abuse.

That said, I'd hope anyone extracting and selling the stuff as a business would do their due diligence.


Mostly for clarification, I was thinking as a government entity which classifies marijuana as a schedule 1 offense and turns public health issues into criminal ones.


I tried with the tone generator linked elsewhere in the thread. One, there's no pulse, which isn't surprising because tinnitus is all in my head. Two, at least for me, tinnitus is not a single well-defined pitch. It fluctuates. Sometimes just by concentrating on it I can move the frequency up and down.

I found a frequency that was pretty close to what I hear (it's convenient that my left ear is mostly normal), and cranked it in my right ear. I now hear something like a distant swarm of bees, or a server room full of very loud fans.
