   You're right, I wasn't clear. There are already farms producing food using permaculture systems, but I meant rather that it's not the majority of what you hear about for what is organic.

   Daniel Tiger is great, and we like it because we can watch the same episode in a few different languages (namely Swedish, German and Spanish)

   Being anti-organic seems so weird to me. What is the reason?

   Maybe the NOSQL hype is dying down, but it still seems like for caching for fast reads it can be helpful. What do you think?

    Great, thank you! I forgot about Om Swami, glad to have been reminded about them.

    Regarding music in religion, kirtan [1] even for non-Hindus can be really enjoyable and powerful experience (most non-religious people I've met regard it more as a meditation than prayer). [1] kirtan is a call-and-response style song o

    Yes. Productivity (y axis) over hours worked (x axis) is logarithmic in my mind, at least for SWE: I don't see much difference in working 8 vs 12 hours in a day

    Sounds like you often read books with 250+ pages :)

    Hm, maybe the algorithm could be refined to define a threshold of boredom; should this be met before 50 pages, use the remaining pages (50 minus pages so far) to randomly select pages to explore for more something exciting ahead.

    At the end do you still read the book straight through? Even so, it seems equal in effort to just read the book. Though to be fair I haven't tried your method, I just feel skeptical.

    Sure! The ones I know of: Swedish - SVT for adults, Barnkanalen for kids German - ZDF for kids and adults, Kika.de and Kikaninchen app for kids I haven't tried it yet but there are some French networks (Zazou, I think) and NRK for Nor

    I think we get plenty local culture as I don't believe that media is a critical component of culture, though I do recognize the benefits and in that regard I think that in the near future my child will likely ask to watch things in Eng

    I was hoping that this would be the opposite: [clean up] dirty code [on] Monday. I'm concerned enough already about whole dirty code months back when we were "moving fast" to get the iterations of MVPs done.

    There are also other night mode apps that offer other tones. I've been using Blue Light Filter on Android lately and appreciate the level of controls it offers (color temperature, intensity, and screen dim)

    I was wondering if it was accidental, but then the author did reach out to a few different sources and didn't receive an answer... which could still be coincidence, but makes it seem less likely.
