Some research suggests excessive restriction on screen use may be worse, and it's not abnormal for boys to use devices more than girls http://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2017-12-14-children%E2%80%99s-scree...

CSS variables are useful if you're a professional web developer. But I would say websites are excessively designed now, especially the kind of ones I visit (other than this). It's pretty incredible just what an arms race web desig

This article seems to make the case not that XRP could be worth nothing, but that XRP will most likely be worth nothing, that it is very unlikely that banks would tie their entire international trading system to a speculative currency. Is t

My pessimistic prediction is that this will either die or be overrun with the alt-right. They seem to gravitate towards the more anonymous social networks (4chan, yik yak). Also see "unpopular opinion puffin" memes on reddit -- a

Chiming in with another "we use mobx and react native." Sorry for the overload of comments like this but I think it's perfectly fine.

This is a sad article with unfortunate subjects. However I'm not convinced that the movement of people from apartments to vehicles is always a "sort of homelessness." I personally know people who are planning to move into a v

If you're funding tons of weird little companies in the most disparate fields in the world, I can't imagine you get much depth in your knowledge.

Documentaries are just on another level, in my opinion, because they take on the style of what you've learned in school. People expect advertisements to be fake, which is why they have to be so postmodern now.

I think negative articles like this can hurt or help things. People know that twenty years ago, articles about how the scary internet is abducting your children got people to think more about it, then adoption kicked in. Even news about the

There's something special about documentaries -- you can convince the audience of practically anything if you're a good enough director. My favorite case is the Errol Morris documentary Mr. Death. It follows the story of a man who

The cool thing about chromecast is that you can drag and drop a video file into chrome and it will play on your tv. I don't want to see ads on youtube, so instead of using the built in chromecast support i just stream the window to my

Some old traditions like this are so bizarre, I can't even imagine why they were created in the first place. Dowry is also like this -- I always forget which side pays which, because the idea of someone paying for a marriage is so stra

Yeah I'd say it's not necessarily a case of honor based systems causing poverty. It's also the other way around. Pretty straightforward. If you make a long essay about how a belief system causes poverty you'll be demoniz

I think cigarettes are a great comparison. I heard it a few years back. When popular, a huge amount of the population used cigarettes despite growing research showing that it had a slight but consistent harmful effect. A hooked individual i

The idea of riot games posting an engineering article is funny to me. They're famous among their own players for having a very buggy platform, and handling time between framerates is one of the earlier things you learn in game developm
