    My son’s only 8 so I have no personal experience parenting a tween/teen. So take that into consideration with my advice.

    How about the next time you’re watching with them, try this:

    "I was raised allowed to moderate my own content because I was trusted to be intelligent and wise enough to critically select what I watched or read and learn from the mistakes I made if I consumed something negatively influential. I have tried to extend this same trust to you, but the constant repetition of what you hear and your inability to form a cogent argument makes me feel like your YouTube viewing habits are teaching you to accept concepts at face-value simply because they are popular.

    If you will engage with me in a discussion on these videos, I’ll leave you alone and continue to trust you on this. However, if you continue to shrug and dismiss the conversation, I will have to consider blocking this content until you are ready to engage with me on a deeper level."

    I know modern parenting advice tells us to prefer reward over punishment so if there’s a reward strong enough to motivate them to engage, go with that. But if punishment is a greater motivator, I’d say damn the modern parenting advice.






  • Death Note was my first non-Toonami anime (dbz/voltron/etc). It’s the only anime I could get my wife to check out. Truly awesome. I was 20 when I first watched it and thought Light was awesome. Watching it now 16 years later and man does it hit different. I now view Light as a complete psychopath and actively root against him. Love that my view of the characters is a complete 180 from my early years.

    Legend of Vox Machina is freaking incredible and is probably my most re-watched “anime”.


  • I actually forked your code so I could customize the keyboard a little bit. I was impressed that I didn’t have any problems building the thing right away. Doesn’t always happen for me with open source projects.

    One thing that was driving me nuts was how sensitive the swipe gestures on the spacebar are. I guess my thumbs always do a slight swipe when I’m pressing space and it was moving the cursor position on me. I wiped out all of that code. If you’re taking suggestions, a way to disable swipe gestures on the spacebar would be a cool add. I’ll see if I can get together a PR for it as well and be a part of the solution.




  • What’s intriguing about the discovery is that these objects appear to be moving in pairs. Astronomers are currently struggling to explain them.

    I always hate when science reporting does this. Astronomers are not struggling to explain them, they just don’t have enough data to take a hypothesis to a theorem!

    The article even tells us possible explanations:

    One possibility is that these objects grew out of regions in the nebula where the density of material was insufficient to make fully fledged stars.

    Another possibility is that they were made around stars and were then kicked out into interstellar space through various interactions.

    “The ejection hypothesis is the favoured one at the moment,” said Prof Mark McCaughrean.
