That's an excellent idea, sounds like it might be possible (ironically) as a chrome extension? Someone should make it but more importantly someone should come up with a good name for it ;)

Absolutely fantastic, please make a version for Playdate or gameboy DMG and put it on itch.io for $10-$100 so I can give you money for this case study in gameplay perfection. It's so beautiful and inspiring that one lone coder can stil

Just in case anyone else was confused by the lead image of the Lascaux cave replica. This is about a cave near Lascaux, not Lascaux. > The Bison Cave is named after the Paleolithic drawings of animals on its main gallery walls. It is con

Yeah those old timey pedestrians didn't stand a chance. Seriously though good point I think, but what about crumple zones?

That's the smartest possible counterpoint to all this, nicely counterpointed. This was a fun read and I agree in sentiment to the rage of all the crap from target that falls apart in 10 minutes but I feel like I've developed an ok

Great read, but I'm wondering why this began in the 1920's? Or was it always an issue for human beings living in Switzerland?

Always a classic. My three year old was unfazed unfortunately.

If only I could do something to fight this... at this job I'm at right now... writing code... Seriously though if I ever had any concrete assurance that the code I was writing wouldn't get tossed on a whim it would be a lot easier

One of the first things I did when someone showed me a pre-Chat version of GPT-3 was try to get it to speak in the voice of Borges. I had the same feeling of interesting but inappropriate. I was really happy to see this pop up and I'm

Glad to see this pop up, its been a weirdly big struggle for me as a new-ish parent. For a while my ancient CD collection and healthy ecosystem of local used vinyl / CD stores had us in a nice routine in conjunction with youtube-dl and

I don't think theres one simple conclusion to this ongoing general question of pre-history vs modernity but I remember coming across the infanticide and geriatricide rates in pre-agricultural societies (not that they were / are al

Maybe someone can advise me here but what are you supposed to do with kids that start reading and doing math early? My three year old is reading and doing all the math I can throw at him and I was a dumb kid growing up so I have no idea wha

I fully respect this guy's method but I'm with you on the screen avoidance. Something always feels off about that. My son was reading / doing arithmetic by the time he turned three and we did it screenless. All I ever did was

Really not sure what to make of this. I love Andrew Callaghan for the most part but curious what people's takes are on the summary of the city's problems and the role of tech.

honestly I think a 3yo is capable of learning bash before python if you put it in between them and paw patrol (or whatever they're into, for mine its beastie boys music videos currently... sigh)

I got my kid one for his pi, he liked it. Served him well. But they often seem to have issues with missing symbols needed for basic programming and dysfunctional keys. Also weird key layouts etc. Anyway they're fingers can handle norma

it doesn't seem like much more of an abstraction than an abstract numeric symbol equalling a certain number of physical objects (ie 3 = * * * ) in my limited experience basic variable use isn't much of a stretch for a 3yo

lol, yeah it's so unclear what they really *understand* at that age other than what color hotwheels car they get if they can write a for loop.

Oh that's such a good point about the typing speed limitation I never would have thought of that for some reason. I've been doing super light python lessons with my 3yo and I was wondering why we were moving slower than he seemed

This is amazing. I feel embarrassed but I never realized how philosophical and artistic this was. Also embarrassingly I didn't realize the term "ghost in the machine" went back this far. In case anyone else is in that boat...
