Wife here. Pre-agentic coding I had automated a bunch of low-hanging fruit via low code tools (mainly Pipedream and Airtable) but I never had enough time to do everything that I wanted to. Lately I've really been getting into agentic c

I think the lack of depth perception in a 2D photo is another big factor in why the magic of a forest can’t be captured. There are so many different layers that all get flattened!

Thank you for the link to 1/0 — it had a link to Absurd Notions that I had been searching for to read again but couldn’t remember the name of!

Oh and the best author from that discovery was hands down Garth Nix. I love the Abhorsen series!

In high school I was at a friend’s house. Half of the bookshelf was filled with books I loved and the other half with books I’d never heard of! I felt like a prospector striking gold :) Cool to think that we have something similar on demand

Kings of the Wyld is a lot of fun. Plus it’s always refreshing to have a middle-aged protagonist instead of a teen or young adult.

I don’t like multi-page forms when I’m not able to see at a glance all the info needed to fill out the form. Though I guess if my progress is durably saved that makes it not so bad. The worst is when I fill out a bunch of stuff and then rea

We set up a “kid laptop” for our kids (ages 3, 6 and 9) that has a short list of allowed websites and a curated set of installed programs. We treat it like any other toy: they can pretty much play with it whenever they want for as long as t

My impression was she just brings the typewriters into class as a one-day novelty thing per course, not that it becomes the norm for the whole semester. The goal is to give the students a taste of what the old-fashioned way is like, to get

I tried this for my toddler but unfortunately it fooled me more often than it fooled him.

If you believe this, people believe everything they read by default and have to apply a critical thinking filter on top of it to not believe the thing. I know I don't have as much of a filter as I ought to! https://www.lessw

My 5yo did great on these until he hit #7 and got stuck! I’m helping him with syntax but trying to hold back from giving conceptual hints for now. I love the instant visual feedback!

I had a really good time with my 8yo just now, reading a story about him and his baby brother.

Another feature I would love would be the ability to get a printable version so I can hand it to my kids. With that it would be great to have an option for a line-by-line translation (maybe side by side so they could cover half the page to

I like it! I came back today after making a story yesterday and it had not saved my language. Also, I’m using it in the phone and don’t see a way to get the translation of just one word since I can’t hover.

I find myself doing some of my most creative thinking in the middle of the night when I wake up and can’t get back to sleep.

The optimal amount of regret from decluttering is non-zero! I’ve learned that yes, maybe 1 out of every 100 items I get rid of will turn out to be something I need again in the future. That’s a worthwhile price to pay for the benefit of not

I was part of a faith-based health sharing program for a few years. When it came time to cancel my membership, I had to call in and speak with a rep. I got past several rounds of retention attempts and succeeded in cancelling. The rep offer

From my 8yo, Luke: Put a tornado on. Let us be other things. Mega Boss Battle with an extra-strong one. Maybe the extra-strong one can be the tornado. Maybe if you're another thing, you could battle the wizard.

Yes, being able to scroll down and check already entered guesses would be nice

Or maybe it could give some kind of extra credit for guessing a clue early. Or it could accept it, but still make you guess the interior clues, but when you get to the one, you already guessed, it shows it as already solved.
