Just discovered BetterDisplay. It enables me to use HiDPI scaling on a wide display. Stock macOS only downscales, which sucks. To have full features, need to pay ($18) but I'm very happy to do so after the default-on 15 day trial (no n

Came here to say this. This blog was founded to convince others of the harm of smartphones. It's not unreasonable to imagine that the authors have significant confirmation bias. Everything they claim needs to be taken with a big grain

I'm a bit disappointed the code isn't available. I scrolled the landing page for a long time to find the Github button as I strongly expected something that was highly upvoted on hackernews was open source.

How do you define academic? For me it's essentially a synonym of a research scientist at a university. And that definition clearly fits Haidt. >Jonathan David Haidt is an American social psychologist and author. He is the Thomas Coo

Are you suggesting that Haidt is in fact an expert on youth mental health? What do you base this conclusion on? Him having written a bestseller? While you are right that Wikipedia can be biased, I'm surprised you bring this up in this

Is he though? I haven't read the book, but the blog provides very bad arguments based on fallacies. Maybe it misrepresents the book. I don't know. But it's clear that this is not Prof Haidt's topic of expertise as a scie

I'm critical of Jonathan Haidt for a few reasons: 1. He's presenting himself as an expert on a topic far from his research expertise. His background per Wikipedia: "Haidt's main scientific contributions come from the psy

I just wanted to thank you two here. Your dialog is so insightful. I think the original article was bad. It's biggest merit is that it got you two together here in the comments!

The number of bad solutions is not just almost infinite. It is definitely infinite. Because, by induction, you can always make another bad solution from a bad solution by adding something unnecessary to it. Hence infinity. QED
