Enjoyed reading this and thank you for sharing.

Anyone know what are inside those tubes? Thinking to create this with a few younger ones and want to understand any risks should those tube breaks and something escapes.


You're not where you think you are.


Noticing number of major planes incidents suddenly over last few weeks ...


I would love to see an analysis of whether airplanes are still the safest way to travel if windowed to the past 30 days.


Yes, but so far no theory or link about the new administration


There's a new administration in Canada?


It's an American plane, serviced and maintained by an American company, and flown by an American airline. Pretty sure they're referring to that.


Pretty sure the wind doesn't care about what country the plane is from.

Seems to me it was either unavoidable or Canadian air traffic control shouldn't have let them land in those conditions.

Nothing to do with Trump or the FAA, as much as people would like it to be.

Never let a crisis go to waste I guess?


The FAA will actually fully investigate this as the issue COULD be due to pilot error or equipment failure. So it is still potentially an issue outside of the weather.


Do you have a source or are you pulling that from nowhere?

Because the NTSB helps investigates. And the host country leads the investigation.

And yes it could be anything, but most likely it was the bad weather.

If you're going to speculate, go for the most likely one.


It was a Delta Airlines flight from Minneapolis so an American airline.


Perhaps you should look into the details of this story a little bit more ?


Google for Minneapolis Musk / Toronto Musk and the theory writes itself.


Is correlation not enough to start an investigation?


Could someone recommend one starting out (something beginner could use and has enough, good functions for continued use into later advanced projects without running into limitations for 'most' projects).

Would be helpful to understand the what limitations might be encountered such at the frequency.


Buy a Pinecile[1] from Pine64. It's currently discounted to $25.99 (excluding shipping), and it's both cheap and has a great feature list that makes soldering a breeze.

We can maybe borrow from some past generational issues, but it seems old forms of media and societal problems are growing worse (e.g bullying, self-esteem, harmful cliques, peer-pressure, etc), or are certain areas getting better (e.g. respecting different cultures and differences, etc.)

1990's: TV, Games (e.g. consoles), ... 2000's: Internet, TV, Games, ... 2010's: Social Media, Games, Streaming Content, ... 2020's: Social Media, Games, Streaming Content, ...

I have to respect all the parents at this time learning to deal with such changes and no past to learn from with the technological changes. Was there ever a time destructive to "reading books too much" (e.g. bookworm)?

Would love to hear thoughts (ideas?) for what ought to be done for a new generation of children being born. What can we learn from the past here and what are some ideas of the correct approaches? Not 100% convinced about banning devices until some later time since technology is being integrated also in classrooms, so I wonder if that hinders growth.

Wondering all these things as a new parent.


Our strategy has been limited access, and I feel it’s not a great one. There’s a constant desire to be on a device and a large inability to think of what else they could be doing. Not helped by being a single child and papa not always feeling up to playing pretend Pokémon.

At the same time, it could be far worse. Whenever there are other kids outside/to play with they really easily fall back into a pattern of pure play. We’ve had whole days of just playing basketball too.

I’m largely resentful of my inability to play with devices when I was younger (see how well I turned out despite my parents saying I shouldn’t look at screens too much), and it affects the way I approach this thing.


> what else they could be doing

Great feedback. Makes me wanting to start building out a cheatsheet (or things to bring) by situation (e.g. restaurant -> coloring book).

Same for daily conversation topics, without it being a bore / repetitive.

Happy to get any ideas were successful (and not).


It's been a challenge to me to figure out what's too much. If you let them, they will spend hours watching YouTube shorts, or tiktoks. I've removed YouTube from our TV for that reason. Also the devices are locked down using Google family, plus the screen pin code is only known by the parents. One of the most wholesome digital experiences I've seen is setting up a Minecraft server, and watching the kids have a build battle. You do need to set up grief prevention though, they will try to vandalize each other.


It is usually some 'set hours' of device time?

Also, wondering what was meant by wholesome digital experience (positive?) in going through setting up a server with your kids?


Yes, Google family allows to set time limits per android device, require parent permission to install apps, and also set time limits per app.

I set up the server, they connected and played on it. Fun to hear them yelling at each other.


Liked reading this, could you share a few examples. What you saw, what you wanted.


Agree to some context. Maybe every generation we have 'why is this thing so hard', so html/css was hard. I think in early 90's, one might say so hard with styling issue due to lack of standardization (page layouts and hacks needed to ensure working on all major browsers). Then there was Flash, jQuery. Now plethora of modern stack __how__ we do this and with magnitude more features.


For those with past web stack exp 20-30+ yrs) 'without' modern web stack experience. How do you stand out for those job listings requiring modern stack? How do you tie those past experiences to remove such disconnect?

Hiring manager's looking for React in next role. Would you prefer to someone with lots of experience (old ways) or someone expert in React with few years.

Looking for context.


"Don't sit too close, move back a bit". Any truth whether sitting too close makes for bad eye sight? Wondering of any effects (e.g. leakage) that goes past the target screen area.


How does this manage to plot so many points yet running pretty smoothly here on a low end computer browser?


I'd presume a WebGL particle shader


Very beautiful. Could someone share a simple intuition how the infinite zoom works for computation? I'd imagine it is computing for only those pixels rendered on the screen, but cannot fully wrap what is happening (especially the smoothness here of the zooming in and out).
