Hey @_welf 👋 long time no talk since Potential. I literally just bought a Boox 5C and was trying to find something like SuperMirror and you showed up in my algo. My M1 air 13 inch I was using 4 years ago has a broken screen nowadays and was wondering if you've tried to make SuperMirror work with a headless macbook yet? The trouble is auto-initiating the screen blindly. I'll have to give SuperMirror a try tomorrow when my 5C comes.

V2 of my wood laptop for the @daylightco is almost finished and it’s extremely satisfying
absolutely unreasonable cost: 70€ just for the Japanese torque hinges, 10+ hours to compensate for my amateur craftsmanship and trial and error approach
everything hand sawn, sanded, and screwed
it’s so fun building my own computer.

@alfcnz @fortelabs Interesting book. Do you agree with the idea that "our brains are for having ideas, not storing them"? I've found that a flow state is performing existing neural pathways and is fundamentally incompatible with neuroplastic tasks (storing ideas is inherently neuroplastic).
English
Who would have thought that @fortelabs’s «Building a second brain» would have been a life-changing book?
Ideas are like mirrors, they surface truths we didn’t know we possessed, urging us to share them with the rest of society in a burst of mental clarity.

The study had 3,500 people from 357 three & four generation families, but the authors caution against generalizing to the entire population of today’s
American families. The LDS population was significant enough for meaningful comparisons with other groups, but was more limited than other samples. For the LDS parent-child relationships in the study, 91% of the children that described their parental relationship(s) as warm stayed LDS. 72% of them that did not describe their parental relationships as warm stayed LDS.
English
@realTannerMeade @TeeplesCY @NauvooSpice Looks interesting! I will have to delve into the study. Am I understanding the graph correctly 91% of latter-day Saint Young adults who have a close relationship with her parents are still active? 72% is Parents and child are not close but child is still religiously active?

The most powerful protection against childhood depression is having a mother who values religion.
When a mother and her child both said religion was personally important to them, the child was 80 percent less likely to develop major depression.
Five times lower risk.
That comes from a 10-year longitudinal study at Columbia led by psychologist Lisa Miller. It's the largest protective effect against depression she has found anywhere in the resilience literature.
A decade later, Miller's team put adults from the same cohort in MRI machines. People who rated religion or spirituality as personally important had thicker cortices in the exact brain regions that thin in people at high familial risk for depression. The protection has a physical signature.
The variable wasn't belief alone. It was shared, internalized importance. Mom and child both meant it.
The strongest known buffer against depression in kids is a parent and child who share a faith that actually means something to both of them.
English
@AWorth263 @TeeplesCY @NauvooSpice The interesting data points for LDS is that the father-mother difference is very close compared to other religions and the effect of a warm, affirming, consistently close relationship with one or usually both parents (as perceived by the adult child) also has the greatest effect.
English
@AWorth263 @TeeplesCY @NauvooSpice Another study focusing on religious transmission across generations showed that a strong, warm bond with the father is more predictive of transmission than the mother-child bond (except in Judaism, which is traditionally matrilineal). academic.oup.com/book/7465

@TeeplesCY @NauvooSpice Thank you for this! I love the positive framing. Curios- are there related studies on the influence of father’s religious values?

I don't know @andrewklavan, but he's seemed like the agreeable guy in the room who tries to smooth out relationships. He might actually take such a Jewish mockery with stride. After reading his article, it occurred to me that Matt's show is called Pints with Aquinas, so it's literally branded as a bunch of mentally impaired catholics having a laugh. It seemed that Andrew's point was that those who are angry with @realDailyWire respect the show too much. He wouldn't put it this way, but bluntly speaking, it seemed like an invitation to pity instead of anger.
When he illustrated how mormons can't take a joke, he was likely respecting mormons too much without realizing it might actually be possible that some of them believe a show called Pints with Aquinas ought to be the respectable type of show with well reasoned apologetics.
English
Imagine if I went to play dedicated to mocking Jewish people as naive dupes following stupid fairy tales about a murder named Moses and his baby murdering psycho God.
I bet @andrewklavan would have negative feelings about that.
(Just a reminder there is better evidence for the Book of 1st Nephi than the Book of Exodus)

While my friend @RealMattFradd has been criticizing the LDS church, and Mormons (and fake Mormons) have been expressing outrage (and fake outrage), I went to see "The Book of Mormon," by the @SouthPark guys. Here's my reaction essay to @SpencerKlavan at The New Jerusalem substack. thenewjerusalem.substack.com/p/laughing-at-…

@LukeFHan The Making of America by Cleon Skousen. It's the only book better than Democracy in America by Alexis de Tocqueville.
English
I'd like to study more about America and its founding as we approach 250.
Any book or podcast recommendations?
I've read
- 1776, David McCullough
- John Adams, McCullough
- Hamilton, Ron Chernow
- The Theme is Freedom, M Stanton Evans
- The Federalist Papers, Publius
- Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain

She's great and puts up with my craziness patiently. There's nothing that bring me more happiness than the relationship I have with God and with her. It's not all sunshine and sometimes it's hard but we've figured out how to make those hard time productive. Took me a while to find her, so keep working at it and it'll work out eventually.

For some it can be hard to have hope in trying to understand women, especially those with a difficult past with relationships with the women in their life. But I'll gladly be cast out as a heratic by saying women do make sense. It's a journey. Women can be absolutely beautiful inside.
English
@josephtrimmer Learn and figure out how the type of woman you're looking for works. Where would she be? Go there.

@LibertarianMama Sounds like you're doing a good job as a mother. I had years of only first dates before I met my wife. Best advice I ever got was to be in places the woman I was looking for would be and to not be afraid to switch seats once I'm there.
English
I'm trying to take you at your word when you say that you've put good faith effort into understanding Brad's beliefs.
I don't understand why you said Brad believes God the Father was a non-god who became a demigod, when the LDS faith doesn't believe there is an ontological difference between man and God the Father. Pagan beliefs make an ontological distinction between gods and men, and that is what gives "demigod" meaning.
It seems to me a good faith conversation can happen between 2 Bible believing people on whether there is an ontological difference between man and God the Father due to John 10:34 and Psalm 82:6.
English
See, this is where it gets irritating, because I'm pretty sure you know what you are doing here.
A non-god becoming a demigod is nothing at all like a Person in the Trinitarian God Who has always existed also becoming a man.
Nothing like it--but you want to treat it the same. Silly.
Your god is not infinite at all in the way that God (including Christ, the Word) is infinite, and you know it. Don't play dumb.
English
@LibertarianMama For me that meant getting up at 4:30am to go on a sunrise hike on a Sunday, paying attention to who came, and then switching places in the circle before we sang a hymn (no.92) on top of a mountain as the sun rose.

I have three daughters (21, almost 18, and 15), and when the topic of marriage was brought up, they all said, “But the guys are so bad!”
Dads, raise your sons to not ask if girls want a NCMO in the first 10 minutes of texting. To not text girls inappropriately constantly (this is the worst with guys on Mutual, my oldest has shown me some of the messages), and to actually be MEN who ask girls on actual DATES.
My oldest is afraid to go on single dates with guys because she’s had friends with some of the worst stories. From LDS guys.
My boys are 11, 8, and 6. Their sisters are already training them, as is my husband, because it’s BAD out there.
This is the biggest hurdle to the marriage crisis.

@_nghiatran @proxyman_app Just bought Tiny Shield (2 seat license). Keep up the great work 💪 Feel more comfortable with the sys extension vs mitm and don't really need everything proxyman does.
English
@realTannerMeade no, it's not. If you need to insepct HTTP Requests/Response like dev tool, better to check out @proxyman_app
English
10 licenses have been sold. I'm surprised because it's just a very first BETA of the app. It's not perfect like other apps on the market.
✅ Less learnt: We never know what's coming when selling apps, just ship it or never make it
Noah Tran@_nghiatran
Demo how my little app can block Google Chrome or certain websites
English
@_nghiatran Does TinyShield expose individual network request information like chrome dev tools?
English
@realTannerMeade yes, it works with any VPN. TinyShield can work with multiple Network extension too
English
@_nghiatran Just now discovering Proxyman as well. I think I saw it before when looking for a better traffic monitor but the cost deterred me and while I'd use it in app development I don't have a big need for it. The simplicity, lower cost, & network monitoring make TinyShield interesting

@eldadfux @appwrite @khushbooverma Functions scalability so executor doesn't need to be on the same node? github.com/appwrite/appwr…
English
Our team has gathered to a special, 10 days, intensive hackathon, internally referred to as Hacka10.
Hacka10 is designed for us to push towards significant advancement in the development of @appwrite.
Can you guess what we’re working on?
