If I was writing short term sci-fi, I'd have Starbucks, or some such chain with omnipresence, have bookable meeting rooms with technology like that, so that we can go and have quality meetings across the world at affordable prices.

I'd recommend Circling. It's a practice where people talk together about what they can notice about the present moment for a set time. It has had a huge impact for me on my ability to understand and feel my own emotions and others

It understands my Swedish attempts at English really well with the medium.en model. (Although, it gives me a funny warning: `UserWarning: medium.en is an English-only model but receipted 'English'; using English instead.`. I guess

Isn't Viking, in how it is used today, such a supertype? Slave used to mean a Slavic person, and is today used also about non-slavic þēows/thralls/servuses. The meaning has shifted. Like viking.

I used to run lineage, but every time there was a major version upgrade I had to reinstall, which was annoying. So I reverted to stock OS. Has that changed? Can it upgrade between major versions now?

I generally like this. One confusing thing is the ? operator, it seems to do opposite things inside and outside command blocks. And I think I spotted a small mistake in https://hush-shell.github.io/intro/control-flow.ht

I'm 40, so when I was a teenager the internet did not have so much different distractions. My mind was great at focusing. I'd read books, cover to cover, and tune out everything else. I'd sit hours and hours straight and make

Everywhere I've seen anyone motivate restrictions on Russian citizens it's been about pushing them to revolt against their government, not about punishing. I don't know whether it makes sense, but it does seem like one of fe

I don't generally write Python code, so maybe that is it, but should't the first example: > print(trampoline.run(cache, [1010]) % 10 * 5) reference `fib` somehow, rather than `cache`?

I'm pre-millenial, and for me STDs are definitely a reason to hold slightly back, sexually. Also, not needing to be so careful with condoms is a pretty big plus for many of us that prefer it without for several reasons. I also look for
