   The main thing is reading long form PDFs doesn’t feel like a chore because it was hard to get comfy and just read without printing. And frankly I am not always near my printer when a paper comes up I want to read. A laptop or display just d

   I took a spill with my kids over a bridge that had black ice. Luckily everyone was ok. We all wear helmets, we almost exclusively use bike/walk infrastructure, and we take it slow. The biggest risk in my mind is interacting in any way

    I think about these problems quite a bit myself as I try and choose what technology my kids (3yo and 6yo) get to use with supervision vs “own” and use as their own. For example, I would like for my kids to own both a music player and video

    I am a novice at GIS and mapping but when I got started I thought a map/tile server was the only way to build mapping webapps. But, in my admittedly simple application PMTiles can cover a lot of my visualization use cases with a thin D

    Any recommendations of text based adventure games for kids? My one child loves playing the Sorcery[1] series with me- I read out loud and they make the choices. [1]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorcery!_(video_game)

    The article is heavy on criticism of population decline and light on an argument of why it is so bad. As a parent in the USA I also don’t buy the argument that it is all education and birth control driving these changes. Many of my acquaint
