I wonder if there has been any usability research on which model (single or two pane) is least obtrusive to flow of information to and from the user.
On Linux, which is my primary desktop, I use Ecco Pro on Wine.
If using OSX / IOS, I would recommend Omni Outliner.
Regarding two pane outliners vs singleness pane, I simply don't find the fragmentation of information across two panes intuitive. This may be subjective though. To me, having all information in a single tree, flows much better when brainstorming.
For Android, I don't have many good options for Outlining and therefore a regular note taker for now that's Evernote.
For alternatives, my money in the long run is on molten salt batteries [1] for large scale. Technology also has benefit of increased industry knowledge of how to utilize molten salts safely which will benefit LFTR research.

More often then not, the problems I was involved with resolving on emergency escalation (line down) calls was on the SAP side of the world and never in the integration code in TCL and C.
The biggest drawback with the TCL implementation from our application vendor was that they did not implement multi threading for TCL and instead implemented a node.js like event loop. As SAP calls were locking, this did cause locks for all other TCL calls.
It was amazing the amount of features we could push out with great stability and scalability using this middleware. We build huge systems that just ran like clockwork and was easy to explain and reason about.
Sad part of this is that the middleware is not commercially available without buying they vendors domain specific products.
I wonder how much of society will deny AI just like they are with human generated climate change?
With that said, I use Linux for my desktop as it gives the best user experience on a laptop. IMO, FreeBSD and variants still don't cut it at this time for dekstop.
A few years back, when I was finally getting my personal dev box off of windows, I took a very close look at FreeBSD or derivative. I hit the wall with poor touchpad support which made laptop difficult to use. I tried very hard to debug their touchpad kernel library but had no luck getting the results I needed. Anybody have links on how to do the same kind of remote kernel debugging on FreeBSD like above but using physical box rather than a VM?
I would still like to give that can another good kick'n :)
For posterity sake, throw in Ruby on Rails as well.
We should open gambling shops for those who want to day trade or deal in Stock options because that is all that they are doing.
The only stock market that promotes long term growth and profitability of businesses is one that awards long term investment.
My question to the developers is are you using undocumented APIs for core functionality and what is being done to ensure that future android updates don't kill core functions that make the system work.
Anybody have an idea if work has started on build of OpenBSD or FreeBSD for Risc-v? Would make an excellent chip for building super secure network edge devices or FreeNAS box.
For SMB private clouds, its a no-brainer; I just buy a FreeNAS or TrueNAS box (FreeBSD based) from iXSystems and have them customize the box for extra ram and CPU. You get ZFS, DTrace and a wicked NAS, OS level virtualization with jails and even linux binary support if required. I've done this successfully in production and could not be happier.
Note: I don't work for iXSystems but I do love their products and services.
From my read, the benefits do not outweigh the costs. If you want light weight microservices, OS level virtualization is the way to go.
