Woah, these limits are just... brutal. Like excruciatingly low.

Depends on this kids, obviously, but we let ours to stay on pads/computers for (pretty much) as long as they want IF all homework's done, they make occasional breaks, do other things (like read books) and they don't get zombified in process and can quit on a short notice.

No Tiktok, IG or any other doomscrollers. We had a chat about them, they know the party policy, so it's not really enforced, but they don't really crave these either.

Age-restricted stuff tends to sort itself out, but we track what they play. Again, it's all based on the party policy rather than enforcement and we have gentlemen's agreement that they ask if we may consider some game off limits.

Been like that for several years. One is a teenager now, another is on the way. So far so good.
Maybe there's something to this that you don't see? Have you spoken with Netlify/Vercel/Cloudflare users to learn why they love those services so much?
Ah, of course. Guess I should have checked first :)

Right, same, but we're adults. I also find clickbait repulsive, am extremely conscious of what youtube is trying to do, and constantly tell it "I'm not interested in this channel" when it starts showing me a ton of content to match something I just watched. But I've seen young kids (6-11) behave EXACTLY as OP has described here, word for word. Just pointlessly watching assemblages of Five Nights of Freddy footage for hours, despite not having the game.

Why not? They publish directives that result in criminal law in member states all the time.

A directive is published, member states are obligated to turn that into domestic legislation, and yes, ultimately a state can criminalise lots of things if it wants to.
Assuming that you are talking about Go, I don't know where you are getting that from.

Go has had excellent tooling from early on. Standard code formatting with gofmt from day 1 was HUGE. godoc, godef, goimports and oracle were also available from early on. And then when LSP came along we got multiple LSP server implementations fairly quickly.

I don't have a link around but I am fairly certain that getting the basic tooling into shape was one of the priorities before the 1.0 release.

Dotnet is probably the most polished, most modern language out there, and I have no idea what would you call sexy... Maybe all quirks with javascript or the mess that python is with special functions and the like?
I could have sworn that OpenConsole is a complete rewrite of conhost. Having double-checked the terminal project's readme, though, I see that I was mistaken in this belief.

This is anecdotal, but migrating my biggest personal project from Vue+Webpack to Svelte+Rollup was one of the easiest and best changes I've made so far.

Recently adding esbuild to the mix made things much faster, too.
Ah, that explains it. I rarely use iMessage for anything but quick texts to people who aren't in one of my other messaging apps, so I hadn't looked too closely at it until I checked it out to compare the iOS flow to the shit-show of an Android one I'd just dealt with.

Checking it again, I see now that the grey app-store-stack icon is toggling the horizontal app list, so it's not that it was bringing up the suggestion list before, but that it was turning off the app list, revealing the suggestion list. Of course it doesn't in any way visually represent a toggle, as its appearance remains the same whether it's "on" or "off", and it's not visually tied to the app list, so the connection is rather metaphysical. Sigh. But, at least now I know how it works.

I generally like Apple design well enough but IMO they derailed way off the usability/discoverability tracks back in iOS7 and have yet to fully recover—it's just that almost everything else is even worse.

About 1.5 years ago, ivermectin was discussed in "conspiracy" channels like Reddit, and many people were helped by it.

The mass media ignored it for over a year and when they did started covering it, they said it was a horse dewormer.

The fact is, what people think is trustworthy news today is pure propaganda. You cannot make an informed decision based on what you read in the mass media.. It's all completely controlled, supporting whatever the big corporations wants to push on you.
So "fishyidea" has less or equal entropy to "262119"?

That expression alone tells me "I'm not really an expert, just someone with time, money and trying to appeal to morons."

YouTube was cool back in the day cause people didn't make it their livelihoods. It was something to do for fun or to showoff. You just wanted to get popular or well known, not get rich.

This guy makes free high quality content for random strangers online to enjoy and learn from and you’re unironically accusing him of making the world a worse place?

Spend 1 week doing the work of making free content for strangers online and then you can get on your soapbox about YouTube thumbnails. Until then you just sound like a parasite.
“Disparate impact”, the magical words.
Right. Gotcha. So Prometeo isn't another "make Python fast again" project, but rather an orthogonal effort to write fast (C) programs, but in a high-level Python-like language. Thanks.

Here we go again. I want MS to understand that I want it to get out of my workflow once I paid for it. Just get out of and stop making me jump through hoops. I am tired of this corporate doublespeak nonsense.
> So I went to the settings, and accidentially deleted the combobox that allows you to choose the font.

I'm genuinely curious how you did this, and how you did it in a way that was permanent. The customization screens are read-only by default (except for those boxes you type text in to specify the customization) and they're programmatically generated, not fixed.
Not a parent myself, but my 13 year old sister has been on the same policy now that my parents are older and sick of being the bad guy like they were with her older siblings. Not a stretch to say she is addicted to youtube. Watches for 12+ hours a day on the weekend, rushes home after school to watch as much as possible before going to sleep at midnight earliest. Her grades are solid, but she has 0 social life or interests really besides youtube. Clearly everyone is different, but it does seem wild to me how some kids are able to control themselves with the internet and some seem unable to.
Six year-old girl.

No time limit other than it needs to go away at bedtime.

She has her own kid's account on our streaming services on her tablet and some learning apps (ABCMouse, Khan Academy Kids, some Blockly-based beginner programming tools) and we gladly let her switch over to mom or dad's account if she's wanting to a kids' show that for whatever reason isn't on or got removed from the kids' side (e.g. Moana or Nat Geo's Weird But True). Our daughter is also welcome to watch recorded shows on the living room TV from our family's DVR.

She's also welcome to use phones and computers alongside mom or dad to call and video-chat with relatives or to look up information on the Internet.

We've taught our daughter that screens belong in the living room, to always ask permission if she wants to watch a "new-to-her" show on her device, which she's very good about doing. She also has our express permission to stop watching anything that she feels is too scary or otherwise makes her uncomfortable.

To combat the bad influences online, we have regular family discussions about the purpose of commercials and marketing, what's real and what's make-believe, that violence is rarely a good choice for any real-life situation despite TV, and that there are plenty of good people and content on the Internet but also some tricky ones that are out to hurt other people or steal their things: just like it is offline.

Having myself gotten onto the Internet in the early 1990s via "upcycled" computers and dial-up connections to local universities as a precocious tween with little parental help, I don't much faith in technological measures. As you might suspect, I was short on cash, rebellious, intelligent, and interested in all the wrong things online. Thankfully, those days were a lot more forgiving than our own time, and I ended up with a direct path to a career in software engineering rather untimely visits from law enforcement.

With that in mind, apples really don't fall far from trees. My daughter is already very interested in learning to type and wants to "write programs like dad," has her own ideas about how to efficiently guess mom and dad's passcodes, and is much more competent with social graces and persuasion that I ever was. I've no illusions about just how weak kids' accounts, Internet filters, passwords, or even netsec can be against a smart but bored kid with excess time on their hands.

For my wife and I, involved parenting, being truthful and upfront with our child, and modeling moral behavior has been our approach from day one. Besides, one day she'll leave home and will need to decide for herself.
I don't understand the point of the image of the meth seizure when discussing this study [1]. The last name is the same, but if you understand Mexican surnames, it is strongly unlikely that the two different people are in any way closely related. I like reading Scott's writing, but this really detracts from the overall quality of the article, because it seems like a vaguely racist dig without any relevance.

Couldn't agree more — a hard requirement for a configuration language is that it must be inert.

Under some circumstances, configuration needs to be generated dynamically so you need a programming language — and TypeScript would be fine for that. But a "perfect" configuration format isn't perfect if it can run arbitrary code.
Are the companies that offer honest service disadvantaged in the long-run? Sure, in the short-term, a captive audience is profitable, but eventually, this should harm LTV?
> We enjoyed when our food is delivered from any restaurant we asked, we enjoyed traveling to other places and generating CO2 along the way.

Huh? Delivery drivers are generating CO2. And while I certainly enjoyed the service, I do not enjoy the ridiculous price premium thats being charged along with it
As an adult I can relate with the fact that Youtube is addictive while Netflix is not.

If I had to guess why I would say that it's due to the fact that Netflix is mostly fictions. There is a limit to how much fiction I can consume before having enough.

On the other hand Youtube has a lot of non-fiction content on specific niches. The kind of content that teases the brain just enough to make me feel that I'm learning something and not in fact wasting my time, similar to HN. This is made worse by the very accurate algorithm, which works so well because Youtube has orders of magnitude more content than other platforms.
Not a parent here but won't let my future kids mess around a lot with gadgets.
> Effortless, infinitely scalable, dynamic web apps.

That’s awfully reminiscent of the MongoDB meme.
This explanation never really made sense to me. It's not like videos are hidden in a background and the thumbnail needs to stand out in our field of vision. Videos are presented front and center, and you're only looking at a few at a time. I presume everyone looks at all the video thumbnails; I just go left to right, top to bottom. Maybe if you were presented with hundreds of options at once and had to click on something quickly, something that draws the eye might get that sort of response, but that's not how Youtube works.

Instead you are presented with a small number of options and given unlimited time to choose, and the consequence of choosing a bad video is several minutes of wasted time. I presume most people are asking themselves "do I want to watch this" and deciding "yes, this video looks interesting/entertaining/etc." Maybe if the effect were small, like 1-2% I could believe its just a slight nudge due to psychological hacking, but the reported differences in the tens of percent and the extreme importance that seems to be placed by the algorithm indicates this is a major factor in peoples' decision making process.

Well I can agree with you, most of those third party parts could be even dangerous for the user, i.e faulty batteries blowing up.
The "we'll reach out to you" is almost never true in practice. It's just a nice way of saying "goodbye."
> They describe what regex's are, but none of the info is going to make much sense to someone who doesn't already know why they would want to learn them.

I frequently use the journalist's "5 Ws and H" framework as a checklist procedure for ensuring my technical communication covers fundamental questions/ideas:

* Who

* What

* Where

* Why

* When

* How

The slightly tricky thing is that you have to formulate a question for each W based on your domain. For example what is a fruitful "where" question for RegEx? Nonetheless the checklist makes me less likely to miss very key ideas, such as "why" one would use RegEx.

To make this idea more procedural maybe we could just formulate it as ungrammatical questions where you put the key topic after each W:

* Who RegEx?

* What RegEx?

* Where RegEx?

* Why RegEx?

* When RegEx?

* How RegEx?

And then just let your mind flesh them out into more complete questions...
Can we truly scour the internet for small-time violators? Sure, if a massive entity like NYT or WSJ fail to comply, that could be called-out and addressed. But are we prepared to enforce such a paradigm at scale?
This. And the Veritasium video is linked later in this thread.
I was really surprised just how intuitive and attractive both touchscreens and console controllers are, for a child who isn't even a year old yet.

I tend to think the content is more important than the medium--there are good video games and trashy books--but having seen how miserable I myself can be with all the rabbit-holes of a smartphone, I want the kid to be phone-free as long as possible.
Demystifying OpenZFS 2.0
>on average, experts do spectacularly better than Joe Schmoe. Including science degree holders thinking they understand medical studies while missing the whole political and social context of the field.

I'm saying that, when the data is unclear and Joe is thorough, I don't even think that's true. Or at least it's not spectacularly better. My point is that for something like Ivermectin where the data was initially null and even now isn't super clear, the word of experts was basically meaningless. Trust them if you don't care enough to look into it, but if you're Joe I'd say just go ahead and believe whatever you understand to be correct until there's a better consensus.

Wait, you think JS is worse than R? I haven't done a ton of stuff with R admittedly, but every time I've had to touch it it's the worst part of my day. JS is irritating, but I feel like its quirks are easier to get used to then R.
w3schools is really not that bad. I hate that it still gets such a bad rep. I don't use it myself, nowadays the MDN docs have long since exceeded it in comprehensive content and clarity, but w3schools is fine for people who are learning. I learned the same way 10 years ago. It has plenty of excellent examples and clear explanations. Yes, it has a couple of flawed pieces of information (like recommending document.write once upon a time)....but people really like to just crucify the whole site over that, and it's never made much sense to me. It's a frustrating case of experienced mentors not understanding what makes an educational resource good or bad and biasing towards what's useful to them as already-experienced coders.

I came into the comments just to say exactly that. What’s worse is that OP is aware and admits it’s stupid, yet continues to engage in this shady, annoying, and extremely stupid tactic.

I don’t click on crap videos and content like that on principle. Interesting or not.
High school kid (HSK), Elementary School kid (ESK)

HSK has a cellphone (iPhone), ESK does not, and will not get till ESK is in High School. HSK got cellphone in 9th grade.

HSK has the iPhone parent thing on his phone so that HSK needs permission for installing apps. No social media apps of any kind, except Join me, which is used by school (I had to compromise here). HSK is ok with it.

At home: We don't use FB, Instagram, TikTok, Discord.. They are all blocked at home via pi-hole, now I also have pfsense. Kids are OK with it since I've bad mouthed social media enough :). Once kids are off to college, will see - at least I've delayed it and hopefully they will be a bit more mature.
YouTube apps are not allowed on TV or gaming devices. YouTube use via computer is allowed, since its heavily used by educational websites.

Both kids have computers for school work. No time limit for most part. I occasionally monitor older via remote logging, but have stopped. It's not worth it. If they want to hide they will hide.

They play video games (Switch or PS5) every day for 30 minutes, strictly enforced. Any video game, except very mature, are allowed, but NO online game pay or online game of any kind.

ESK also uses Scratch on the computer and likes it. But that is educational.

TV is extra and watched by the kids unmetered, but is generally not more that 30min-1hr, if they are free and work is done. They always ask before watching TV.

EDIT: In High School some clubs required FB for activity planning and so on. I had gone and argued with the principal in public meetings about this and why is that a requirement. My HSK was OK with not joining clubs if FB was required.
Making Markdown-clj babashka-compatible
Most of the writing is fantastic, but I'm very disappointed by the take that "everyone was wrong", by the implication that doctors didn't know they should treat for worms before giving immunosuppressants. Guess what, doctors in the developing world already knew that, it was always the standard practice on Brazilian hospitals. In fact, ivermectin was in very high demand in hospitals before it was suspected to be a Covid19 treatment. That whole paragraph reads like some really bad exceptionalism (it it doesn't exist here it doesn't exist).
Probably when they're capable of realizing you're a hypocrite?
Web app that lets you easily post YouTube videos to Instagram
Interesting, for the 5 year old I blocked Youtube and kept Youtube kids, though I'm always over his shoulder. It's weird because, while I have concerns over the tons of Minecraft and that kid who got rich playing with toys with his parents -- the whole Aumsum deal feels worth it; kid's dropping all kinds of knowledge on me from it.
Ah, I don't necessarily mean guessability of which other addresses I use, but of how you can reach me. If I block yourservice@mydomain.com, you can still attempt to reach me at totallynotyourservice@mydomain.com and it will work. You'll also be able to link my different addresses on different services. If I throw away the Relay alias for your service, that's it - there's no way to lead that back to me anymore.

Correct. That is also what all search engines will currently do.
I think I'm going to be the odd man out here but I did not restrict my kids. I purchased mobile phones for them when they were around 8 years old (when they become affordable enough for us). I put no restrictions on their screen time, websites, or anything else. I simply talked to them about what I thought was right or wrong and let them decide.

My kids are now adults and it seems to have worked for them.

I got my first computer system when I was 10 years old. I spent more time in front of screens than I spend anywhere else. I believe my entire life and career is a result of being allowed to express my creativity that way and I wanted my kids to be afforded the same freedoms.
Yes. Goofy face always wins :(

Though it gets an insane amount of backlash on HN (case in point: this thread).
One day he'll see the light. My coworkers are still saying the same about me when it comes to monads and functional programming.
