This exists. It's called YouTube Kids


Yeah, but there is a gaping difference between content for kids (i.e. 12 and under) and content for teenagers.

Most teenage-appropriate content would be enjoyed by adults too (e.g. lots of how-tos, educational content, music, entertainment, etc.) Most adults are not going to be into watching Blues Clues or whatever, which is why YouTube doesn't have to worry about cannibalizing more profitable content/algorithms for adults due to the existence of YouTube Kids.


It doesn't meet requirement #4 (Filter out age inappropriate content). You can find many articles and videos, over the years, about all the inappropriate stuff making it into YouTube Kids.


No need for the trouble with USB / Pi. You can use an app on your phone to OCR the paper.


True. But that results in elevated error rates.


Sorry, but number of commits don't say anything about the quality and direction of a project.

React has been around for much longer than Solid, and also much much more popular, with many more contributors. It's also the pioneer of virtual DOM reactivity, when you're a pioneer there bound to be some trial and error.

It can also be argued that SolidJS has a higher bus factor, as it's still very dependant on the creator (Ryan Carniato).

Sharing my experience... A while ago, I wanted to build an app using SolidJS 1.4 but got stuck because of a list mapping bug, ie. child list not updating IIRC. I reached out to Ryan, he said that he knew about the bug and had a fix coming in the next release. I couldn't wait, so I had to port what I had to React and call it a day.


I wonder how long by comparison you would have had to wait for React to fix a bug of that nature. Obviously no comparison on maturity given difference of user base size, especially 3 years ago. I appreciate you sharing as I think stories like that are good example of responsiveness of the project.


> When you're a pioneer, there are bound to be some trials and errors.

The higher number of commits is, to some extent, empirical evidence that trials and errors were encountered.

> SolidJS has a higher bus factor.

For me personally, the higher bus factor is a feature, not a bug. Ryan has brought the project to a state of relative "completion." I can rest easy knowing that SolidJS would only need to be maintained, not "developed," if he were to leave.


Linux is the kernel. Android uses a forked version of the mainline Linux


Everyone uses a forked version of the mainline Linux.


Some distributions apply patches to the kernel but they don’t fork it.


Anyone can recommend a good dictation app on Linux?


TfL is a killjoy, every little thing is a safety and security issue. Like an overbearing parent; hold the handrail, drink water, bla bla bla...


The driver monitoring camera works well. It beeps loudly when it detects inattention ie eyes off the road.

And bear in mind, this is an ADAS level 2. It's not a totally hands off system. I have to be prepared to take control at all times due to various reasons eg. turn beyond its steering limit, roundabouts, traffic lights, constructions. Think of it as the better version of the car's line keeping assist.

I found that it lightens the cognitive load of driving, especially useful when driving longer distances.


Try Nebo.

I've tried them all, including Concepts. Concepts was great but it requires subscription and it gets slower when you have a very large drawing. I tried large Goodnotes paper too, but it was a bit clunky.Nebo was good, but then I kind of stopped doing large notes.


What about improving our own lives. I live in a first world country, work as a dev with decent earning. But finding things are expensive these days


If you work as a dev in a first world country, it’s hard to imagine you’re truly struggling in any real sense (monetarily speaking I mean) unless you’re in your first couple years I suppose.

Still, if it somehow is the case, then this message isn’t directed at you. It’s just a little hard to imagine most developers can’t handle giving up a thousand bucks a year or whatever, which could literally save lives in some cases.


Things have indeed gotten more expensive. But is it crimping your style? Do you eat enough $7/doz eggs and drink enough $11/gal milk to make a difference?

There are quite a few Americans for whom it is, and I'd also like to see more aid given to Americans who need it. Unfortunately, I don't see any effort towards that. Any savings from canceling foreign aid appears to be directed into tax cuts -- sadly, not something that benefits those who can't afford eggs.


I know it's not a key part of your point, but I'm curious if there's actually a place in the US where milk is $11/gallon. Here in Seattle it's remained around $4/gal.


Organic can be expensive. The Aldi near me in Michigan has its half-gallon at around $5-$6 usually. Regular milk is around $2.50-$3.50 a gallon.


statistically people reading articles these days are often well off enough that improving their own lives won’t mean much in terms of “sleeping under a bridge vs under a roof” or “eating or not eating”, whereas for others that might be the case.

Also nobody said you can’t improve your own life at the same time.

Also you helping other people doesn’t have to be necessarily monetarily.
