codeslave13··on Ask HN: How do you deal with information and internet addiction?
I bought a farm and moved away from the city. Nothing like a bunch of animals, buildings, equipment that needs worked on to keep you away from the computer.
codeslave13··on The teen mental illness epidemic began around 2012
Exactly that. Good life skills. And guess what. They still play casual and have a blast are fit healthy and pretty mentally strong. (Proud dad eeking out). We have life long friends whos kids went more music or arts but with the same kind of attitude. Guess what. They are happy too. To us it was just helping them find stuff they liked doing.

The biggest rule was if you start a season you finish it. (There were exceptions for sure) it wasnt all roses but they learned from that too

I think parents use “preparing them for the future” as an excuse tbh. Part of it is they are trying to relive their childhood through the kids (seen this ALOT). I coached rec league basketball and soccer for 20 years and it was very prevalent.

It was funny/sad as every once in a while i would have the kids bring a book or a boardgame to practice and parents would loose their shit. Kids loved it but a lot of i was hampering their childs development type talk. Give me a break. Its rec league. Made for learning the game and having a blast doing it

Awesome for him. Parents dont want to hear what .000001 % actually have a chance to go pro? Every year after the season we always asked if they were still having fun. To us it was good skill building. Social,fitness, how to lose etc.

Its all superficial competition. As a society we have made it so if you dont make x dollars youre a failure. I do think the pandemic opened a lot of eyes to change though.

Also the push for college or youre a failure and will never get a job has been supremely harmful to kids via debt and a myriad other issues.

It has. Everyone’s kid now is a future pro millionaire. Our family has a decent few pro football (american) and baseball players and we have always played high level sports. My deal with the kids was always you play what you want at the level you want. If its not fun pick something else. I think sports are important. 2 of my kids did very well with soccer (college scholarship level) my youngest said nah. She danced and worked at the pet shelter :)

Having a child that hit teens then and hindsight being 20/20. Crazy parents and social media i feel can be the root of the majority of. Really location specific and not the deciding factor but it laid a solid foundation for mental health issues even today.

No citations or anything just my exp as a Dad.

My daughter hit her teens in2012. It was a horrible couple of years not just for her but from about 8th grade up.

Our HS had a suicide wave. Many attepts (my daughter being one) and quite a few of those attempts were successful later. Thankfully my child responded well to therapy.

This was in a high competitive HS IN NORTHERN VA.

My thoughts on factors:

Crazy parents pushing kids to try and get in TJ who had no business there. (We did not)

Peer pressure to over perform at everything (If you did t have a 4.5 gpa you were stupid)

And the big bad social media really started going for teens then. And it was brutal

Over scheduling for activities. We played travel soccer. Super competitive. We had girls that played travel basketbal,soccer and softball. One of those is almost year round. Three? Your never home

We balanced it all with camping. It helped so much. One weekend a month minimum. No excuses.

Rambled a bit but from about 2011 on kids have been fucked.

I would consider datasette and its plugins nocode.
codeslave13··on FAA says computer failure was caused by contractors who introduced data errors
I worked there for 10 years. What is this test env you speak of? /s

We had dev and prod. No version control and no testing requirements. Was a while ago for sure (i used svn locally for sanity). But from what i hear not a lot has changed. This was not flight related software. They did have better tools and procedures but not by leaps and bounds

Wow people can disagree with me?
codeslave13··on WLED Project
Anyone recommend a “beginners starter kit” to start exploring wled stuff? Ie. A board, pa, and smallish or various strip options? Thanks
codeslave13··on Federal Reserve to increase interest rates by 50 basis points
Energy is still very fickle. Locally ive had 30-40 cent price swing both ways over 7-8 days. Diesel is still in the shitter. We simply cant produce more. And all it will take this winter is some good storms and i think energy will crank back up. Nit just energy though (thats where most of the drop has come from) most supply chains are still barely functional. Its just all still a giant mess

From posts elsewhere. They are still employed till feb. Just do not report for work. So no violation
codeslave13··on Amazon has a book piracy problem
Amazon has a piracy/counterfeit problem. And has for a very long time. I have basically stopped buying there as much as possible. My current trend is to use them as a search engine then got to the companies site. At this point you might as well shop alibaba as thats where half the crap is from anyway.
codeslave13··on I want an iPhone Mini-sized Android phone
IANAL. But from what i gather you cant be compelled to enter a passcode or forces to unlock phone with a fingerprint. There is no clear such protections for face.
