I gotta go back and figure out if I can submit a PR to fix footnotes, though [1]. I don't like using Reader Mode when I know there might be stuff missing, so I itch to go and check. [1]: https://github.com/mozilla/

Screenshots of text are inaccessible to assistive technologies without alt text. Twitter's alt text limit is 1000 characters. But, again, if you're also annoyed that social story telling IRL happens with interruptions and digressi

Yup, it needs a point-in-time comparison from when the Boomers' avg. age matched.

The linked piece about that book has a different idea of its claim: > The book “stands today as a sort of promise that everyday people have a shot at accumulating true wealth through habits and not just outsize risk,” wrote Ron Lieber at

The latter makes total sense to me! I don't love vertical and horizontal scroll gestures being swapped, personally; feels jarring.

Eh, I'm the type who would accidentally click and then regret, so maybe if there were just a small return-to icon, not the whole titles being clickable?

I think people state a lot of reasons for their preferences that aren't actually the origins. We were looking at real estate and I realized that emotionally I am not willing to commit to our region's bloated housing costs without

Interesting. It sounds like we value very different kinds of writing.

by kixiQu 5y ago
If all writing is from a present understanding, how could it hurt reader trust to acknowledge that explicitly?

Is the idea that it should focus on software only?

by kixiQu 5y ago
I mean, it's building in "Hacker News Points" as a first-level primitive, so idk if they mind that software's the focus.

The theory calories-in-calories-out doesn't explain why animals fed controlled diets over time could exhibit a change in weight, pretty much by definition. So instead of trying to extend that paradigm in some way that would explain it

Bog-standard "if you get lost and separated from your parents" child-advice is to ask for help from exactly such figures as police, with the idea that this would protect them from ostensibly less savory options

by kixiQu 5y ago
Well, I don't really believe in the institution of police as it exists, so if I even had kids, I'd pass along the same paranoia my father taught me... but it just strikes me as a meaningful inconsistency in the image of police tha

by kixiQu 5y ago
Let's zoom out from the rights of that individual minor, too. If you believe in the role of police in society, you want kids to be able to trust them . You can't teach your kids to trust someone who may lie to them with horrific

While I'm definitely not going to say that it would benefit everyone, I think it's almost everyone while the relevant kid is in college. It's a lot easier to plan for a slot in your calendar as "Dad time" than to

It's much better to communicate that you'd like a routine like this than to try to have irregular contact that you'll both have to think about and plan for. I have a weekly video call for my mom and it's very good for
