croo commented on Children and Helical Time   moultano.wordpress.com/20... · Posted by u/moultano

Life with young children is actually mostly dreary and stressful; the fun and excitement and reliving of childhood memories is 1% or less of life, in my experience. By time I realize I am having that <1% experience it is over. I still feel as though I am chasing after something vanishing and never catching it.

I am sorry that this is your experience. A newborn brings in so much responsibility and unknowns and there is no rest - as with anything with a lot of responsibility, unknowns and no rest, it can cause tremendous amount of stress.

For centuries we lived in large families and those within communities where everyone witnessed birth at home with multiple siblings and responsibilities around raising children from a small age. The current atomic families with two adult both completely inexperienced in raising a child is unprecedented in history.

I agree that reliving memories is not a large part, though it is impactful. But it's not dreary ... large part is also having fun and good time with your kids.

I never have more than like 10 tabs open at a time, so likely wont be helpful to me, but I find this super interesting!

Can someone explain what normal people use so many tabs for? It seems to be super common to have tons and tons open.

Are people using tabs as a soft bookmark of basically anything interesting? Afraid to close the page because they wont find it in their history or bookmarks? Is this more an issue with bookmarks and history not being as useful as they could be?

Not judging or anything, I just find how other people use tools differently than I do an interesting subject.

Related easter egg in Android Chrome: after 100 (or 1000?) tabs it just prints ":D" instead of a number.

I never know what is lesser known but my faviourite is: * searches for the word under the cursor, # searches backwards. You can also use n for next and N for previous hit.

Never considered. It's a search engine where I need to phrase my questions differently.

Nice! Feature request : conditional expressions should start with the "else" branch.

> I'm beginning to think that the best way to approach a problem is by either not being aware of or disregarding most of the similar efforts that came before. This makes me kind of sad, because the current world is so interconnected, that we rarely see such novelty with their tendency to "fall in the rut of thought" of those that came before. The internet is great, but it also homogenizes the world of thought, and that kind of sucks.

I think this is true only if there is a novel solution that is in a drastically different direction than similar efforts that came before. Most of the time when you ignore previous successful efforts, you end up resowing non-fertile ground.

In 1973 Clifford Cock solved the problem of public keys first time in history that no one in GCHQ managed to solve in the past 3 years. He jolted down the solution in half hour after hearing about it then wondered why is it such a big thing for everyone else. A fresh view unclouded by prejudice can make all the difference.

I can't think of any other product that makes it to the HN frontpage so consistently. I guess Kagi really hits the bullseye in terms of HN as a target audience.

Or they know how to advertise to their target audience well.

Baraka movie is a colorful vivid beautiful impactful movie without any narrative.

Babies movie (1 hour documentary) is about 4 newborns in different locations of the world, again colored, beautiful shots and without any narrative.
