elenaturner··on Japanese Philosophies That'll Help You Spend Money Consciously
Good points to save money, but I think they are not Japan specific. Almost all cultures teach something similar.
elenaturner··on Ask HN: How do you maintain your lawn or garden with climate change in mind?
Great ideas... I always wanted to have something like this, but keeping goats and sheep in urban home is not an option. Hope I will be able to do something like this in coming years.

A mix of google keep and a whiteboard works great for me!
elenaturner··on Ask HN: How do you teach engineers to be better writers?
Get them use Grammarly. 80% of the issues you mentioned will be fixed, and rest 20% will be either not a big deal or getting their writeup reviewed by an editor will greatly help them overcome the deficiencies shortly.
elenaturner··on Ask HN: How do you get yourself to sleep when you want?
Gadgets, TV etc are the biggest enemies of sleep for me. I used to have exactly same issue and then made few changes that helped a lot.

- Have a fixed time to go to bed. - No caffeine at least 4 hours before going to bed. - No gadgets and TV at least 1 hour before going to bed. - Eat clean, and have your last meal at least 3 hours before going to bed. (It's even longer for me due to multiple gastric issues.) - Intense physical activity of at least 30 mins in the later afternoon/evening, i.e. running, playing tennis. Morning exercise only makes me tired and I can't do anything else the whole day.

elenaturner··on Why Autism Is on the Rise?
So true. Intentional misdiagnosis is probably the biggest contributor as therapies and intervention has become a big business.
