Whoa whoa whoa whoa. Why are you using justicereport.news as a source? I hadn't heard of it but after clicking through it a little it's clearly a fringe crazy spam site (objectively-- take a look at some of the articles) If this i

For grown ups sure. For children (including "children of all ages"), who are extra suggestible and impressionable, it will be and already is very concerning.

I think that's right, and this isn't that different from "TV latchkey kids" from the 80s. The difference is a phone in your pocket is even more addictive than a TV in the living room, and the algorithmic apps serve more

If the pay difference is only 8% then on average we're probably only talking about a superficial experience difference. $800k, on the other hand, is probably actual researchers who understand the underlying math and aren't just gl

Of course. Yet it's also a great way to ensure a small neurotic problem becomes a bigger and bigger one, and does not get a chance to heal and improve while it's still small and the child is still young and more plastic.

I'm not sure I'd be so quick to dismiss the feasability, at least not based on your reasoning so far. FM Radio stations have managed to accomplish getting the speaker in your car radio to "blink synchronously" according

Yes, that's exactly some of the time periods I was thinking of. The mid 1800s was a time when literacy was rapidly increasing and new serial magazines became popular. This new medium paved the way for the fame of authors like Dickens a

This reminds me of something I noticed: disproportionately, the classics in a given field (ie, the work agreed upon to be particularly important, influential, etc) are disproportionately the ones that were made shortly after a new medium or

No, the question is what actual historical event are you referring to? What you are quoting sounds like a legend. When and where did this happen?

Yes! This reminds me strongly of the core/modules architecture of the apache httpd, as described by the excellent O'Reilly book on it. The process of serving an HTTP request is broken into a large number of fine grained stages and

OK, then why was it that for so long a new joint stock company's creation required a charter from the monarch or parliament, etc, and not just anybody could get it (as today)? It was obviously seen as a valuable and scarce privilege, n

Well, I can't speak for how others write Java. It's like any other language -- if a function or file or class is growing too big and complex, you split it up. If you have several that are too tiny and they are logically related, y

Yep, this is a great point, and while these days people use stuff like @NonNull/@Nullable, it does not help a lot, for the exact same reason. I wish Java had had non nullable types as default from the getgo, and it's hard to add n
