ilteris··on No Way to Grow Up
I don't give a shit what the article says or specifically points to but I can tell you this much. I am a dad of a 6 year old. My kid goes to public school in NYC and last year was bad... They did a test at the beginning of this year before the start of the first grade and her results were awful. This is an unprecedented event and everyone is clueless including in education. I don't make a big deal about the test results and it's the reality. Educators are aware but it's not enough, we should be aware too. These kids are more resilient than most people think and we still need to support them. I am lucky I can get paid support for her but not all families have that privilege. So please stop being pedantic about the article and instead maybe focus on how you might create solutions. And please exclude online classes from those solutions. Thank you.

What's your e-reader of choice and what kind of unlimited plan are you on? Thanks
ilteris··on Finding Your Swagger
I have a similar problem in my workplace. I have a hard time reading what's going on in the room or the relationships between ups and downs. It's exhausting. Is there a playbook for this type of thing?
ilteris··on GPT-3 is no longer the only game in town
I am so confused. Is there a tutorial explaining how you are using in the IDE whatever it is. I use vscode curious if it can be applied. Thanks
ilteris··on Why does anyone use Angular in production?
Haha why is this ego driven nonsense article top post on hn?
ilteris··on How learned helplessness happens in engineering teams
Unfortunately this. I really like how you have articulated the problem. Disorganized mob. This mob also loves moving from one team to another inside the company once they deem to think they exhaust the resources in the former and once the product is dead. I think it happens sooner or later in enterprise. It sucks.

Roomba. Saved my marriage.
ilteris··on Show HN: Made this with my daughter to help kids ages 2 to 4 learn logic
So many responses from people who are not target audience. Here is one from me so you can compare.

I just played this with my daughter who is 4 year old. She have found the first 4 levels easy. She was having a little bit trouble with level 5 negation and conjunction but we had to take a break since we were running for a date.

She didn't have any problem with zero being on the right.

She didn't have any problem with linguistics compherension so far.

She was able to differentiate colors and animating cats from the rest and it was perfect.

She is familiar with digital buttons so she was able to press them but even with her tiny fingers sometimes pressing 4 instead of 5 etc. (We played on mobile)

I direct the game for her. (Start, go up levels when she was bored)

Overall thank you for this because she is going to have a gifted and talented "test" next week and this looked very similar to that and she was active and entertained choosing the answers so I can see this could be a good segway I to it.

Is there a reference or book you can point to re: decision and information theory?

What do you think about Swift
ilteris··on I'm not burned out, I'm pissed off
This comment nails it. Is there anyway to fix this problem? Not the burnout as that's the symptom but the cause, bad structure.

ilteris··on Life and society are increasingly governed by numbers
It is a catch 22. think all I want as a technologist, indirectly the reason to measure to see that I am going in the right direction, hoping the products I build help people create more of above type of interactions between us. Years ago when I was reading about this, I have come to conclusion that these places are what Hakim Bey called "temporary autonomous zones" and I accept them as just experiences to be lived rather than quantified.

I am not familiar with scissors sisters but I know that line from Pink Floyd.
ilteris··on Cristiane Serruya Is a Copyright Infringer, a Plagiarist, and an Idiot
I find it hard to believe there is any novelty in romance category to begin with. I bet she is not the first one and won't be the last. Better to leave this category into hands of ML.

I would love to read more about "code as data" in general. I would appreciate any resources you can provide. Thanks.
ilteris··on Tinkering with electronics
I love tinkering with hardware. I just hate the debugging because now you have both physical on top of code debugging you have to deal with in order to find out where things go wrong.
ilteris··on Ten Years of Instapaper
I was using delicious for the same reason but there was one aspect of it which I have never able.to found anywhere. I used to go to delicious periodically and check out what the people I follow saving as their bookmarks. I learned so much from doing that. Pinboard has never gave the same taste, it is practically automated archiving tool for me along with Pocket.

Sorry slightly off topic, how does one get their chess level measured? Thanks
ilteris··on Gmail Launches Add-ons
Just curious, why would you delete a message on a thread?

Here is my Gmail on Android workflow: I swipe to right and archive the thread after I read the thread. It goes away from my inbox. Once someone adds a new mail to the chain thread re appears in my mailbox. I read it and archive it again. I rarely delete a mail.

Facebook is trying to own mobile, period. That's all that matters to them and they are doing whatever they can to do it now, when it is still relatively early.
ilteris··on Down The Rabbit Hole We Go: Mind-Expanding Documentaries
Is Connection series good to watch for understanding Industrial Revolution better? I would like to understand Industrial revolution better if there's any documentary or book out there along the lines of "Ascent of Money" - the book. I loved reading that book.
ilteris··on Quick start projects
I am guessing you are aware of. https://github.com/ChrisJohnsen/tmux-MacOSX-pasteboard That solves a lot of issues I have with copy paste.
ilteris··on Quick start projects
That's part of the reason you have tools like Vagrant and VMs.You don't have to create separate accounts for each project but emulate that in your VMs.
