Very unlikely, as the concentrations would be quite minute. Nick Lane expands on this in "The Vital Question" book.




Incorrect, you do need to provide an email address (bogus one works fine) and tick the Ts&Cs box.


Meditation brought about some massive changes for me: increased focus, better and more acute introspection; I became way less irritable and my stress levels reduced.

I briefly outlined my before and after experience in this blog post: http://nimblegecko.com/you-are-batshit-crazy/


Frankly, Github did a very poor job at communication this breaking change.

I only recently discovered that most of my post got broken.

Apparently it's no longer legit to use "#Title", you need to "# Title" (and god knows what else).

Linking is broken too - in Jekyll 2 there was no difference if a URL ended in "/" or not - you were just taken to the page, now this is a massive, although fixable pain (see https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/issues/4440)

As a result my site experienced 500% drop in organic search referrals from Google.

I got no single email from then announcing this change. Very unhappy with how github handled it.


Not sure how the search suggestions are meant to work, but when typing "Drunkard's Walk" I can see the book at the top of the result's list, although when typing the author's name, "Leonard Mlodinow" I get no matches for his books at all.


Is this some sort of a promo trap? When clicking on book links I get taken to pages like this one http://www.freebie.guru/au/starwars/starwars625.html


That page isn't linked in this post. I don't know that site and won't click that link to find out what it is about.


No it is not, but I get redirected to it on my Android phone after clicking on book covers or graph.


That doesn't happen for me, at least with uBlock on.


Said the whale from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.


We're all the whale aren't we? Its still better than "Oh no not again" isn't it?


Not your fault, but I find it quite annoying that most of those documents are not digitised and you have to order the items to be delivered into library's reading rooms.


I'd say more will get digitised as time goes on.
