Hey actually explains in a blog entry here: https://docs.codeamigo.dev/blog

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…

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…

(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 lim…

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, an…

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 th…

"I need a handle, man. I don't have an identity until I have a handle." - Joey Pardella, Hackers, 1995

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 t…

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 q…

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…

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 …

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 …

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 su…

All sorts of electronics have gold in them. Minute traces, to be sure ... but it is a use ...

I think you may be referring to Gish Gallop: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gish_gallop

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 cardiomyopa…

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…

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 …

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 b…

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…

And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings.

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 opport…

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 …

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 …
