   They absolutely have differing effects, just like different sports can produce generally fit athletes with different specializations in musculature and skill sets. Furthermore, directed focus is not strictly necessary, depending on what you

   IANAA (I am not an astrologer), but I have a hunch they'd say it has to with "energy", not light ;)

   If you're building an extensible platform of some kind, maybe, but otherwise I'd use a build system.

   I love the last sentence, and want to expand on it. If ANNs are tools to help computers perceive, then they are analogous to components or layers in the nervous system. If we map the nervous system thoroughly enough and understand the input

   Awesome work! Feature request: swipe through pages of recommend podcasts on the front page (would be especially sweet on mobile).

   5 minutes is just not enough time. Anecdotal evidence from experienced meditators/psychonauts/biohackers suggests that it takes multiple sessions to start seeing results for some people, and that a session should last at least 20

   This is a neat idea, but it's super confusing without the concept of the sail's curvature. AFAIK, sails work like airplane wings (not like socks), creating lift on the convex surface by virtue of faster moving air and lower pressu

    I do not think the unhealthiness is in the goal. Goals are fine, and happiness is natural to want. Obsessions, on the other hand, are worth watching out for. They will consume you.

    As others here have mentioned, there is no necessary relationship between the awful async syntax so common to JavaScript environments and non-blocking IO. There are plenty of languages/environments that support highly scalable network

    Another recently fermented Breuer here. I had a great experience being in the Breueing Room. My biggest concern was that Breue would end up being an overwhelming addition to my already heaping pile of feedback on http://squirt.io

    I'm not sure what "Spritz technology" is. RSVP has been around for a long time—it may be that they genuinely added to it with the centering and the red letter and the nice pauses, or it may be that they're trying to pate

    Fixed as of tonight, though you'll have to reinstall your bookmarklet :)

    Welcome to my smelly code! It's supposed to go to /install on squirt.io--and also localhost for my own dev purposes. It's a bit of a hack, but saves me from maintaining two bookmarklets. Are you a publisher? Trying to embed

    It uses readability if you don't make a selection. The selection logic is pretty dumb, and could use some help. Thanks for pointing this out!

    Don't be sad! Be glad that you're not only seeing opportunity that others find valuable, but you're capable of executing on it :) I've installed your ext, going to give it a whirl and see what I can learn from it. Keep b

    Dope! Glad you figured that out. I axed the mobile install instructions because bookmarklet installation on mobile is such a mess. I designed it for mobile initially, so the layout should usable, at least.

    Good question! I'll be investigating that shortly...

    Syllable recognition is still an unsolved problem, no? Is anybody familiar with the state of the art?

    This is a great observation. After reading Spritz' blog post, I've been thinking about using word shape uniqueness as the main signal for how long to pause--i.e., "soliloquy" would be quite unique thanks to its ascenders

    Great idea! I would love to experiment with different presentation modes. There's a discussion in here somewhere about using n-grams to choose the right phrase boundaries, which sounds like a much harder problem than I'm equipped

    OP here. Totally agree. I would not use this to read a novel, but rather in the way that we already read articles on the web--skimming them. I think there is a huge value to giving the reader a tradeoff between speed and comprehension, so l

    OP here. I'm using readability's old code (arc90) to extract text, and you can use squirt on any page you like--just embed a link with the same JS as the bookmarklet. If you want a real API, add a github issue ( http://w
