> working through the holidays to avoid spending time with their kid . . . is a form of child abuse. Wow. I couldn’t disagree more. This is some weird holier-than-thou helicopter parent stuff. I watch my kids all day on the weekends and

That’s fine. But here is the analogy I use (with 5 young kids): time with young kids is amazing. It’s like sugar. It’s wonderful. But the problem is, that sugar just keeps pouring in. More and more than you could ever eat. But you feel guil

I found the perfect system for me and I stick to it. I use a folder of Markdown text notes organized by creation date, with a text editor (ideally something like nvAlt / Uulysses / Obsidian that does indexed searches). Titles are:

Beyond all that, what happened with SBF & co shows that even the better-sounding crypto projects may eventually involve criminal liability for some of those involved.

I used to use Reeder/Feedbin but I moved to NetNewsWire/Feedbin when they started updating NNW again. I like NNW a bit better.

I use Microsoft Word’s multi-editing feature at work. The sync is essentially real-time (setting aside other opinions in Microsoft Office). You can see every change that your co-editors make as they make it. You can work on one file on two

Totally agreed. Obsidian sync is pretty disappointing, honestly. I still use it, but I would call it just barely good enough.

Some people are into creating things, and other people are into tools. As the saying goes, it's a poor craftsperson that blames their tools. But I also think it's a poor craftsperson who tries to improve by improving their tools.

Here is an adjustable wrench that's pretty good: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072LWP3Y3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b... Honestly I love this thing. It is precisely manufactured, turns smoothly, and grips well.

It’s probably due to lack of data. To some extent, the further the temp is from the mean, the harder it is to find a time and place to test.

Right on. I’m always amazed when we go to a restaurant and there are kids on iPads while eating. There is no question that iPads are the easiest solution, but it’s rarely the best solution, and it’s certainly not necessary. Humanity survi

Environmental regulations typically hurt GDP. But we as a society (in the US at least) have long ago figured out that the improved quality of life is worth the decrease in overall productivity in many cases. If you generalize the analysis t

by D13Fd 4y ago
GDP gets used a lot because it is a measure that can be computed more easily, reliably, and objectively than many other measures. That doesn’t mean it’s perfect, just more broadly useful than other options.

Street art can be beautiful, for sure. But a lot of graffiti is just scribbled words and names. It's weird for the article to suggest all graffiti is "street art." In fact, worst of all, I often see scribbled words and names

I don't particularly care about Musk and I don't use Twitter. I also think the decision to ban a page that makes already-public information about a specific person's jet's location very-much-more-public is pretty easily

IMO Mac OS is better for people who just want to get work done and Linux is better for people who want customization and don’t mind some occasional roadblocks. Personally I don’t care much about that kind of customization and I’m happy to j

I guess. What is the percentage of people who have to wear diapers their whole life? I don't know but it has to be a small fraction of a percent.
