I am a backer, after having discovered logseq as a viable alternative to Roam. Great project, and a great and responsive team building the system.

I just moved to a new university that uses Canvas, and while it is not perfect, it actually does not cause physical pain when entering data.

I worked with a non-technical manager (banking background, somehow wormed his way into managing development) who never asked devs what they thought a task would take. I finally convinced him that this could not possibly work. I sat with him the first time he asked a dev how long the current task would take. The dev said "4 weeks". This guy said "I think it should take 2, so that is what I am putting in the schedule". Mind you, this guy had never written a line of code and had NO basis for his "thought" on the task length.

Scrivener is fantastic - used it throughout my doctoral studies

Headspace has been great for me as well. It has helped me in quite a few ways, including helping to reduce anxiety.

Except for searches on Google Scholar, ddg is my primary search engine. Very few times have I found that I get better results in Google.

Which extension do you use in Emacs to get the symbols?

Google did not come up with this - JetBrains developed the language and use it to develop their tools.

It has instant messaging as well, so I think that is the difference.

We are expanding it to a number of skin and ocular diseases.

It is a bit of concern, but we are not out in the wild yet so we have time to look at ways to protect the IP.

At this point, it is university research. The work has been published, and we are in clinical trials in prep for commercialization.

We analyze images of skin lesions and give a probability whether they are malignant melanoma. The analysis is performed on-board on mobile phones.

I first felt this when I was asked by a sales rep if I would be interested in coming to work for his company since I had exactly the credentials and experience they were looking for. He said he would talk with the head of development and get back to me. Time passed, and when he did get back to me, he said that the dev manager was looking for someone under 35 and that my resume - which did not have my age - told him that I must be older (I was around 45 at the time). In retrospect, I should have sued, but instead just let it drop.
