Jason’s Cranberry Bread sounds delicious. I don’t do that sort of thing often myself. Only when I have two or three nice ripe bananas, which happens very infrequently.
Hey, Salad Lovers: It's OK To Eat Romaine Lettuce Again https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2018/05/22/613254356/cdc-gives-the-all-clear-to-start-eating-ro... ... For how long, I wonder.
You make a lot of good and interesting points, W. Ian O'Byrne, which I have bookmarked for a deeper read. For now, all I want to say is that, on the grounds that novels can be truer than facts, seems to me people would be better off reading Dave Eggers' The Circle than trying prognosticate based on Google's speculative entrails.
@Phoneboy I see you had to delete spam Webmentions. It would be great if you could document some of the details on the #indieweb wiki. Or at more length on one of your sites. There have been concerns about the spamming potential but few (none?) seen in the wild, so that would be really valuable.
You're doing it right, @frenchtart The "horror" of flies on the meat is more than offset by the fact that it'll be cooked and delicious in about an hour. The invisible horror of a power outage at the supermarket doesn't bear thinking about.
@AgroBioDiverse You can have your 15 minutes ...
@marieprice2 Fun and all, but to whom do I complain about question 6? The idea that Svalbard is more famous than VIR is preposterous.
And hello to you too.
Thanks for the wayback link Kevin. I failed to find it first time around. There are so many interesting points in that post and in the comments, and also a faint whiff of déja vu. The sidebar shows exactly what went wrong with pingbacks and trackbacks, and I suspect there is still no way to bridge the gap between the "commenting is broken" and the "technology will fix commenting" crowds.
In the end, we both know, it depends absolutely on the people involved. Maintaining a website that you regard as your own does require maintenance. Like a garden, you may choose to let a few weeds flourish, for the wildlife, and you may also seek to encourage volunteers, for the aesthetics. A garden without wildlife is dull, a garden without aesthetics is pointless.
> the default assumption that everyone should read every comment on a forum is an idea that fails at scale too, as one troll or disruptive person can spoil everyone's reading - the Tragedy of the Comments.
A shame that the link to Tragedy of the Comments is dead, it sounded interesting and prescient.
@jessfanzo You've very welcome. And there's more to come.
@judell Isn't it an eggcorn? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggcorn
That study of how people from rice- and wheat-growing areas of China differ in social situations is interesting, and part of a long history of trying to make use of the collectivism needed to grow rice well to explain other things. I'm not totally convinced.
Thanks @podknife for adding me to your lists. Looking forward to getting to know new listeners.
@FranciscoEGZ85 @GuinnessIreland What I had not realised is quite how fast and loose RA Fisher played with Gosset's ideas. Gosset didn't care much about p<0.05 as a number, only about what it might mean in a wider context.
Hey @leckerpodcast - You're not so bad yourself!
Heh. Good advice. I do in fact use Ryan’s service. One of my links in that piece points to it in case anyone else is curious.
I noticed that my Like of this recent post by Chris Aldrich features a photo not from Chris's site, but from the site of the person he is talking about. That's pretty magical.

@jgmac1106 Now you force me to be that person who points out that piranha are freshwater fish. I was willing to ignore it before.
Any chance you can explain why you think the CDATA wrapper is the issue? My Known feed also wraps description in CDATA and that may be what is causing micro.blog to have trouble with it.
@dullhunk Very good question. Who is milling their own wheat and baking 100% wholewheat in the UK? I know https://twitter.com/e5bakehouse and a few others on Instagram. https://twitter.com/RealBread must know.
The one question I really wanted @npr to ask about Chinese tariffs on American nuts: will it make those nuts cheaper for Americans?
@mdesoucey Amen! Where do we sign up?
@PhilVincent Just discovered #10DoT and went looking for your chart. Page not found. Which, to me, suggests the need for an 11th day, devoted to the #indieweb and what it means to own your content.
@SmallholderIRL Very honoured to be mentioned in such company. Thank you.
@wordsby_bob Sounds interesting; where was the talk and will it be shared?
I'd say that was progress, yes. Of course, for all I know you might have written that by hand in WordPress, rather than via, say, micro.blog app. Either way, it **is** progress. And now, enjoy your Mac.
I wanted to use a new highlight in Instapaper to trigger an action, and while last week the email action didn't work, this week it is the file action that fails. Sure it is free, but this isn't going to entice me to fork over money for a paid service.
@rachellaudan What I really want to know is how close did your nose need to be to the grindstone.
A great intro to micro.blog and how it fits more generally into the #indieweb ecosystem. But I had to laugh at Eli saying that since he discovered micro.blog he is now a full-time PHP developer. I have just spent all morning, literally, trying to improve the sandpit ii8n which I play with PHP, and have just about given up, utterly defeated. How anyone ever gets XDebug to work is completely beyond me. VSCode, Atom, even PHPStorm all require the most astonishing acrobatics which I have simply been unable to perform. Now what?
@beardfoundation Congratulations to all the podcast nominees. I look forward to sampling the one I haven't yet tried.
Aaron Davis wonders "when are you an actual ‘citizen’, that is when do you belong to, in or are a part of the Indieweb?" To me, "belong to", "in" and "part" signify slightly different depths of commitment, none of which conveys "citizenship". The way I understand it, citizenship is granted by some other authority. You can't just claim it for yourself.
I like Kartik Prabhu's idea that posting to a domain you own is all it takes. "Everything else is a bonus". But that's a little like Robinson Crusoe being a citizen of his island. Interaction with others matters too.

I love reading about how other people organise their reading and writing, although it seldom impacts my own system (which I hesitate to call a system). Chris Aldrich's post is no exception, with lots of great ideas about how to find, filter and act on the firehose of stuff that's out there. I can't help but wonder whether Chris and I have discussed Zettelkasten methods in the past. https://zettelkasten.de
@SlackHQ I like the extra functionality of, eg, reminding myself about messages and the overall usability of Slack. I wouldn't want to be tied to a closed silo though. Bridging with IRC allows #indieweb people to own their messages.
The good news is that #indieweb -- the main channel for which I want both IRC and Slack -- should be OK as it uses the Slack API. Or so I am reliably informed ...
Remarkable: "High school students prefer vegetables seasoned with herbs and spices, rather than plain veggies". I wonder whether this counts as industry-funded research, coming up with a result that suits industry. http://news.psu.edu/story/508608/2018/03/06/research/spicing-it-high-school-students-may-prefer-seas...
Jonathan LaCour has done some great work freeing himself from Facebook and Instagram, and his post is a good starting point for others who want to do the same. So far, I confess, I have not felt the need myself. There are no photographs in either of those silos that I don't have a copy of (actually, the original, not a copy) on my desktop computer. And any text I may have place on FB is also either a copy of something here or else completely insubstantial. Heck, I'm still bringing in old blog posts to my new system by hand, very slowly, and I haven't begun to bring in old posts from a previous incarnation of this stream. Maybe it is because I was an independent blogger long before either FB or IG saw the light of day, but I have never regarded those places as worthy of original material.
Eat your heart out @replyall. @NealGoldfarb does a yes-yes-no for the ages, and all on his own, more or less.

Kudos to @DICKS for doing the right thing. If I ever needed anything that they sell, that's where I'm going to buy it.
@toggl Overall, the font size and lack of contrast make the screen hard for me to read on my iPhone 6+ and more specifically, switching between manual and automatic is more difficult and selecting clients and projects more cumbersome.
Kinda like Indie Hosters, but more suitable for Gens 3-4? Add Known support and you might get even more customers.
Jayson Lusk's reminder that the Economic Research Service is a really important source of data is valuable. His suggestion to follow the ERS's daily "chart of note" is even better.
Interesting reading, though I cannot quite see how the various personae might map onto a single micro.blog site. Nevertheless, I look forward to whatever you come up with.
One question. I know 10C offers Notes and Todos and Photos, but I have never seen anything here that would encourage me to use those facilities. My notes are in nvALT and my todos are on paper and my photos are in lot of places, but they're all on my desktop machine. So why would I want to use those facilities here? And are you sure they are worth keeping in your "silo"?
PESOS from the original site.
If I were any kind of entrepreneur (which I'm not) I'd be figuring out how to hook up with supermarkets -- or even the local greengrocer -- to turn the bananas they throw out into my highly desirable banana bread.
I hear you. There's no way on earth to be precise about the words for a pre-ferment, and I for one tend to use them interchangeably, at least to some extent. Of course, if Reinhart offered precise definitions, even hydrations, of "stiff" and "wet" that would at least make consistency possible. His video on the 12 steps is rather good, and something I show in my workshops.
Nice to see Stacey De Polo set off on her exploration of things #indieweb, but I find it hard to imagine that as of my reading, not one of her contacts on either Twitter or FB has reacted in any way. I guess some plugin work still needed. Which is part of the reason I am writing this reply.
Chris reminds me, I ought to get something lined up for a global celebration.
I don't know about you, @mdesoucey , but I'm missing out on it being on Facebook.
When I teach writing (which I do), I always say to people, "This is ambiguous. Sure, I can ask you here in class. But most people who read this aren't going to be able to ask you to clarify. They're either going to be confused, or jump to the meaning you don't want them to."
The silly thing is, Dave is there to clarify, and he chooses not to.
We have had an extensive discussion today in irc #indieweb-dev and I think we are beginning to see what is going on. I will try and summarise here later
