Neat project! But I’ve realized, after doing a number of puzzles with my wife over the past several years, that most real life pictures don’t make great puzzles. I mean, if you like the challenge of just putting random pieces together, mayb

100% agreed, which was my point above about studies being done to prove the negative impacts, so everyone could actually get on board, instead of it being done ad hoc. It took public shaming to start to reduce addiction to cigarettes, after

I feel like sleep quality and phone addiction are very different, even if somewhat connected. I would agree, though, that improving sleep quality would definitely improve cognitive function. But removing phones would only help if it’s degra

I’m not sure if you have kids, but I’m not sure making the choice to ostracize your kids is one they’d thank you for later. And, certainly not all kids would. It very much depends on the kid / the impact said ostracism would have.

I’m not a scientist in this field, but I would have been very surprised to have seen a difference in cognitive ability this quickly. I’ve always felt that we wouldn’t recover from the negative impacts of phone addiction very quickly, if eve

To be fair, death seems pretty much the same. That is, it's not the dead that are in pain, it's those left behind. So, while I agree with you, it doesn't seem much worse than death, especially if the family accept/believ

As someone with Alzheimer's being quite prevalent on my dad's side [1], I pay attention to pretty much any HN thread on Alzheimer's. But most of them end up not being super conclusive/actionable. But also ack that Alzhei

And how much fasting? Is intermittent enough? 12 hours? 18 hours? Or do we need frequent (e.g. weekly or 2-3 times weekly) 24-hour fasting?

This rankings site [1] was shared on HN a couple years ago [2], and since then I’ve switched to Honeycrisp. While I agree they aren’t always the most tasty, they are almost always (like 98%) crisp and never mealy to the point I want to stop

I’ve tried organic on occasion, and never felt they were any better (often not as good). Obviously way too many variables, but anecdotally, I haven’t been that impressed with organic apples.

Hard disagree. I used to love Galas but ultimately realized about 50% of the time they were mealy. Since swapping to Honeycrisp, I’ve yet to have a mealy one. Maybe occasionally (about 1 out of 20-30) there’s one that has a hint of mealines

Both of those are fine, but they add additional complexities (even if small) where there is very little, if any, complexity added with using these two characters as delimiters.

by jader201 2y ago
I feel like this (and some of the replies to this) is missing the point a bit. I don’t think the goal was to make a bullet-proof delimiter that fails at nothing. The goal was to solve the problem of not allowing things like commas, quotes,
