Interesting. Is it a huge deal if they miss their 30 minutes a day? I probably allow my kids too much time with screens, but the flip side is that, if they don't have screen access for a few days, they don't really care. They&#x27

He might be referring to this: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1606.07772v2.pdf There's a link to it from the actual article.

(not the narrator, but I was active when the narrator was creating these ...) The rule for these audio clips was to do a search for any blog post on the internet which started with "No One Will Ever Read This, But ..." and where t

(Long time tilde.town member here) This is a fair criticism. There is a bit of a barrier to entry here. I think pengaru is unnecessarily harsh in his response. The server has a limited number of admins (really only a single main administrat

It's a bit like a BBS, yes, and that's what drew me to the concept initially (I'm an early member of tilde.town; still reasonably active). We do have an internal bulletin board, and an internal IRC (like the chat rooms of mul

Sadly, the narrator of this set of audio readings has moved on from the project, to my knowledge. That may be for the best, though. Some of the charm (in my own opinion) is that this little project was a gem to discover, a bit ephemeral, an

The statement "being told exactly what to learn" is so counter to my own university experience (admittedly almost 20 years ago now). It seems to me that going to university to be told what to learn is counter to the actual goal of

The mechanical how people read at higher speeds might be an interesting topic. What I often do when I am "reading" for knowledge can probably be simplified down to "I read fairly quickly", but there's no nuance in

I love using awk. It was fairly easy to pick up, and it slides into my command line workflow pretty well. That said, there's an amazing amount you can do with it, if you really try. Someone once joked that I should try building an IRC

It's quite possible you're right, and I can't deny that my brain is pretty twisted anyways. That said, I feel like there's a clear difference in taste between brands, at least for my own taste buds. I drink Coca-Cola as

I was unaware of that section of Facebook's settings, so thank you for the tip! Looking through it, I am far less concerned with what Facebook knows about me, but I am not a daily user of the platform, and so it is probably understanda

I like this. I feel like I would want to participate in the community, but not necessarily as an everyday creator. While I do enjoy creating things myself, I also like providing support and mentoring where I can. Are there ways for creators

I was very curious and wanted to see if I could google-fu this story up. I think I've found it (and I don't blame you for being unable to remember the name): "takotsubo cardiomyopathy by Gage Johnston" https:/&#x2F

Reading through this link, I like that the author/presenter is trying to relate things to what the kids experience. That said, it still felt a bit all over the place. That's OK, of course, as I wouldn't expect much more than

All these things are preset in the many tech-savvy houses in my area ... and every single one of them (with the exception of the printer) is missing from less tech-oriented houses here. The printers are also usually locally connected when n

So, some of this bothers me and makes me even more wary of traveling to the US. I don't own a personal cell phone. I don't own a personal laptop (yeah, I have this weird computer box that sits under my desk, go figure). If I were

Let's push the thought experiment a bit. Let's suppose you have the option to opt-out from vaccination. If the premise is that you are responsible for your own body, then shouldn't you also be responsible for any consequences

I won't argue the differences, but there's no reason a child can't be breast-fed and also bottle-fed. A young child will be nursing many times during a day, giving plenty of opportunities for a working mother to nurse their c

Good on you! I have a work-provided smart phone, and while it's nice to have, I constantly stun my more progressive co-workers by leaving my phone off for long periods of time. It doesn't take that much more time to turn it on if

OK, I've listened to this section you mention about 4 times trying to catch the meaning you are imprinting on his words, and it just doesn't seem that way to me. It does not sound condescending at all, to my ears. He is acknowledg

I should do this. Thanks for the idea! I've found that a lot of the time, when I'm on any sort of social media (including here on HN), I will open the reply box, type in a reply, read it, then discard it. I certainly have the need

I wasn't able to find your particular point in my searching, but I did find a paper from 2000 that came to a similar conclusion[1] "This difference in perception has a potential of creating tension within the team and disrupting t

I suspect it really depends on the person. Two books a week doesn't seem all that difficult _for me_ ... but my wife would have a lot of trouble with it, though she makes up for that by reading for longer periods of time than I do. I e

This was always one of my favourite puzzle games growing up. I had a plastic copy of it that I would spend hours rearranging. For those who aren't familiar with this puzzle, the goal is to take the 12 pieces and make a 10x6 rectangle.
