You spell out your question like a human being, to treat the other human being with respect.

Be less concerned with internet points.

This might be the dumbest comment I've ever seen on HN, and that's saying something.

I suppose you thought that chess only got interesting when Deep Blue was put up against Gary Kasparov?

The article basically debunks itself with the correction at the end, but tries to hang on by claiming "Look! It has seeds!"

However, I don't see one mention of "artistic license" as a plausible explanation of why it may have seeds, or why it may be depicted as being more ripe.

Fantastic!

Who is reading content while scrolling? That's like buying a $10,000 stabilization unit to be able to read a book while jogging.

It was at this point I realized the entire premise of the article was a very long-winded way of saying "I like using high DPI monitors when I code". And then tossing in a bunch of technical details to make it sound like a "fact".

Put another way:

Hey <programmer>, I just bought a new laptop. Which IDE should I install on it first?

How is this #2 on HN with only 6 points, being 6 minutes old?

You've accepted your lapse, but you don't seem to accept any further responsibility to stop this from happening in the future. Instead, you're putting this responsibility on countless websites that YOU think are inappropriate for your daughter. The burden is on you. Own it.

I think this is a perfect example of why people find math hard. Not because there's something inherently difficult, but because we have teachers like this one in charge of open and curious minds at a young age. You get a teacher who doesn't quite understand what it is she's trying to teach, and this confusion is multiplied over and over again for each batch of students that pass through. Not too long afterwards you get kids who think they don't understand math, when in fact it was a failing of the teachers who couldn't correctly explain it in the first place.

Why did they build the entire pinball machine themselves? The portion that "plays itself" is a camera attached to some very basic computer vision techniques that boil down to:

When ball detected in flipper area, flip.

You could attach this to any commercial machine by connecting a relay where the flipper buttons would be.

I don't see how your anecdote differentiates between these two scenarios:

1. Human leaves, cat gets separation anxiety due to feeling less emotionally secure

2. Human leaves, cat gets separation anxiety because their primary source of food is missing

Because billionaires with large egos exist in the wild.
