A brief explanation of what some of these are doing, or moreover, a use case for why I would want to use them would be handy.

You have the right to say anything you want, you do not have the right to say it in my home. I don't understand how there are so many people that don't understand FOS.

If programming is poetry, then I write limericks for a living.

Currently using atom and it's package system for a POC for a custom dumbed down editor. I'm really surprised at how much I've managed to accomplish in a week. If we go through with the project, it'll be a joy to work on.

That said, I tried editing the package initially using atom, and switched back to vim on the second day. So it'll suit our purposes, but a terminal based editor still has so many more advantages when hacking on code. (Though if editing a vim plugin were this clean and easy, I'd be outpacing Tim Pope).

I don't have an active social media presence attached to my real name because I like my privacy. To imply that makes me lacking, is simply ignorant.

No, you're perfectly capable of eating people. Assuming they didn't contain poisons of pathogens that can resist cooking temperatures.

You can't access that which doesn't exist.

Nothing stops Ontario from buying from B.C. or other existing culrivators of medical marijuana. Scaling these operations, and looking to Colorado as a model, will take a year or so to be sure. I suspect we should have legal weed in 18-24 months tops. Under a minority government, I would have agreed with you. But outside of dubious treaties, there isn't anything preventing this now.

International legal council, lawsuits, fines, and the free fares offered in some areas probably eat into the runway quite quickly.

I wouldn't recommend linux if your parents keep getting malware. Wipe the PC, and set yourself up as the admin. Create a base user account for your parents, and RDP in to their machine to install programs for them. Or get them to use a tablet. The other option is to set them up with a mac. If they stay within the App Store, they're pretty safe.

And it should. Seriously, there are are less than 2% of users using Linux on the Desktop. Now a fraction of these users dual boot. Microsoft is a business, and it's bad business to spend money you could be using to make your product better to ensure that you play nice with every possible bootloader out there.

In order to be accepted as anything other than an anecdote, you would require a much more rigorous study with a LOT more people and a much higher level of scrutiny. We would want to control for external issues, possibly genetic complications, gut flora, blood glucose levels, liver and pancreas health, illness, infection, cancers, etc...

Anecdotal evidence if fine for discussion, but no one should act upon it without medical supervision.

Hardly, just because alcohol is socially accepted doesn't mean it's not a drug. Alcohol and heroine are considered the most harmful drugs out there. It's an apt comparison.

I'd suggest a conflict of interest makes his results suspect.

You aren't a critic, you're just being critical.
