It's a great song, but as a piece of poetry it's not even in the same league imo.

(This is my all time favourite poem though)

Same. I had to write an essay about it which helped me appreciate it in a new way.

The title of the poem is also only the first half of the statement. Somebody's doing some editorializing I guess

There's additional context here that makes this poem more powerful in my opinion.

It's a direct response to Jessie Pope, an English poet and propagandist who would write poems like "Who's for the Game?", implying that the great war was all a bit of fun and those who didn't want to go were cowards.

Owen had actually been in the trenches, and tragically died only a few days before the armistice.

You can't spell "biometrics" without "biome"

The study doesn't try to say that big breakfasts are good or bad in general (it leans on previous works for that).

It's trying to determine the impact of the composition of said breakfast.

The full title of the paper is: "Big breakfast diet composition impacts on appetite control and gut health: a randomized weight loss trial in adults with overweight or obesity"

(I don't think "with overweight" is a great turn of phrase)

It was originally the eternally-on-the-horizon Semantic Web, before somebody decided to reuse the name into something to do with crypto (perhaps without bothering to search for "web 3" beforehand)

The paper includes a section on power analysis which justifies the sample size (although the justification is for a sample of 20, they recruited 25 eligible participants and lost 6 in screening).

Some points though:

- A within-participants study has inherently more power than a between-subjects study. Trying two different diets with the same person removes a lot of variables that you'd need to control for in between-subjects studies (and yes, they randomized the order of intervention and found no difference based on order)

- It looks like this was conducted in a way that supported compliance with the protocol, and using analysis techniques that would be unwieldy for a much larger sample size.

Even with N=19, the reported significance is very compelling.

Oddly enough, they also don't tend to report on minor deaths that do happen

Sadly enough, yes.

But not reporting "minor" deaths is SOP in the kill biz.

(I was leaning on the dual meaning of "minor" here...)

I always associate it with fighter aircraft

Notepad.exe used to be <200kB. Emacs is tens of megabytes

Notepad was just a wrapper around some default win32 controls. Judging alone by exe size is not right, although probably a “statically linked” notepad would still be smaller than emacs

It is right by definition. Link emacs to those controls, shed some statically linked weight, and it will also become lighter!
