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 wa…

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 go…

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…

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 …

I am starting out on one of the non-RPG beginner-friendly programs but I'm looking forward to giving Spellbound a try!

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 feedbac…

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 translati…

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…

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 fut…
