Interesting. Is it a huge deal if they miss their 30 minutes a day? I probably allow my kids too much time with screens, but the flip side is that, if they don't have screen access for a few days, they don't really…
He might be referring to this: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1606.07772v2.pdf There's a link to it from the actual article.
(Long time tilde.town member here) This is a fair criticism. There is a bit of a barrier to entry here. I think pengaru is unnecessarily harsh in his response. The server has a limited number of admins (really only a…
It's a bit like a BBS, yes, and that's what drew me to the concept initially (I'm an early member of tilde.town; still reasonably active). We do have an internal bulletin board, and an internal IRC (like the chat rooms…
Sadly, the narrator of this set of audio readings has moved on from the project, to my knowledge. That may be for the best, though. Some of the charm (in my own opinion) is that this little project was a gem to…
"I need a handle, man. I don't have an identity until I have a handle." - Joey Pardella, Hackers, 1995
The statement "being told exactly what to learn" is so counter to my own university experience (admittedly almost 20 years ago now). It seems to me that going to university to be told what to learn is counter to the…
The mechanical how people read at higher speeds might be an interesting topic. What I often do when I am "reading" for knowledge can probably be simplified down to "I read fairly quickly", but there's no nuance in that…
I love using awk. It was fairly easy to pick up, and it slides into my command line workflow pretty well. That said, there's an amazing amount you can do with it, if you really try. Someone once joked that I should try…
I was unaware of that section of Facebook's settings, so thank you for the tip! Looking through it, I am far less concerned with what Facebook knows about me, but I am not a daily user of the platform, and so it is…
All sorts of electronics have gold in them. Minute traces, to be sure ... but it is a use ...

Reading through this link, I like that the author/presenter is trying to relate things to what the kids experience. That said, it still felt a bit all over the place. That's OK, of course, as I wouldn't expect much more…
All these things are preset in the many tech-savvy houses in my area ... and every single one of them (with the exception of the printer) is missing from less tech-oriented houses here. The printers are also usually…
And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings.
I won't argue the differences, but there's no reason a child can't be breast-fed and also bottle-fed. A young child will be nursing many times during a day, giving plenty of opportunities for a working mother to nurse…
OK, I've listened to this section you mention about 4 times trying to catch the meaning you are imprinting on his words, and it just doesn't seem that way to me. It does not sound condescending at all, to my ears. He is…
I should do this. Thanks for the idea! I've found that a lot of the time, when I'm on any sort of social media (including here on HN), I will open the reply box, type in a reply, read it, then discard it. I certainly…
I wasn't able to find your particular point in my searching, but I did find a paper from 2000 that came to a similar conclusion[1] "This difference in perception has a potential of creating tension within the team and…
I don't. It's never provided me with anything but spam, so I deleted my account.
I suspect it really depends on the person. Two books a week doesn't seem all that difficult _for me_ ... but my wife would have a lot of trouble with it, though she makes up for that by reading for longer periods of…
When the Queen is placed, it becomes Black's turn. Black is not in check, but is in a situation where there are no legal moves for Black to play (his pawns cannot advance, and the king has no legal squares to land on.…
I've never used a keyboard/driver which had this functionality (CAPS Lock only affects letters on any system I've used in the past). However, I believe the SHIFT LOCK key that existed on some typewriters functioned in…
The story of the original Tilde Club is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8432703 Sadly, I was slightly too late to join the original, but there are now a number of similar clubs with available space. Tilde…
