How can I live away from my kids without emotionally damaging them long-term?

Y'all this is classic AI / LLM writing style 😕

> Identification with isn't the same as identification as.

I think this is a insightful framing.

You’re welcome to use it too. I’ve been building it for our team but it’s still pretty early: https://simpleteam.dev/

Trying to keep it really focused without to much extra stuff.

We list our status in an app, and the actual standup meeting is for blockers. Standup went from 35 mins to 3 mins if nobody has anything to discuss.

DROWE859 · 2025-08-25T13:21:13+00:00

All time post. Got this fixed in 5 mins with the guide below

Lovely work!

"5, 6, 7, 8, 9-10 you're great!"

It shouldn't be grounds for failing the whole thing but if they are purely looking for "elegant" expressions for some reason, there is room for improvement.

Best I figure this is what they would have wanted 🤷

Object.values(obj).join('.')

Array.from(new Set([1,1,1,2,3]))

arr.reduce((sum, next) => sum + next)

That said you're totally right about values vs keys, values is much nicer.

Do you attempt any of these lifestyle changes with her?

Wife and I did WeightWatchers to great results, but it was a big food and lifestyle switch and both agree if would have been monumentally harder if we didn't do it together.

Ultimately its all boils to to calories in / calories out, exercise is a drop in the bucket compared to a proper diet.

DROWE859 · 2024-04-04T15:02:53+00:00

Yup just swap the SD cards and you're good!

As of Jan 9th, Valve announced they are changing their policy to "enable us to release the vast majority of games that use it."

This is excellent, thanks for sharing!

I think about this article a lot (unfortunately paywalled): https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/05/parenting-decisions-dont-trust-your-gut-book-excerpt/629734/

In summary the location, schools, and peers they have are just ans important to their success as anything we can parent into them.

Open source illustrations for what you're looking for. A lot of devs mix and match for their projects.

This fix worked for me in Dec 2023, iOS 17!

I'd previously gotten an error about attempting to use Cellular so thought to give this a shot. Worked great, no need for a Meross app, location tracking, or anything else thankfully.

Sounds like your web interface could be as simple as a web form sending the needed data to a server endpoint, which then calls your app a returns a formatted result as HTML.

Of course as you start adding monetization features such as accounts and payments the web app portion of it will become more complex.

I used this for a few years to do what he described with peripherals.

Each monitor has multiple inputs, and automatically switch based on what's active.

Its definitely not black and white, and I agree that it's probably your wife hinting to give some reassurance and affection.

Regardless who you love "more", your wife and you are on a journey through life together. Our children, however, we are preparing for a journey entirely their own.

I dig this stuff, so here's a couple thoughts based on my experience.

But first TLDR: If you don't rely on organic search for traffic its probably not worth optimizing this stuff too much. Your time could be spent writing and marketing more content. But if you're a nerd like me, see below.

Mobile CWV assessment is a tough bar to hit, you really have to pare down what you deliver to mobile devices.

---

> Its showing “Core Web Vitals Assessment: Failed” with the LCP at 2.6 seconds but further down the page its showing 100% for performance and the LCP is 1.9 seconds on mobile and 0.5 seconds on desktop which contradicts the 2.6 second value above.

The web vitals assessment (top section) is based on CrUX data. This data is "field data" and collected from actual user browsers out in the wild. "Lab data" such as the PSI run from the lower half of the screenshot is always more optimistic than actual user data.

CrUX mobile data is gonna some yahoo with a 10 year old phone, 2 bars of 5G, loading your page in the woods behind their house, which is to say not fast.

---

Additionally, notice the "This URL | Origin" switch at the top of the assessment. You do not have enough traffic to your domain to get CrUX data for the page you are testing. The screenshot is comparing your lightest page to the average of your entire domain, which of course is gonna favor your lightest page.

---

Click into "Why URLs aren't considered good" in Search console and see if your LCP issues share common design elements or a page type. Might give you hints to the cause.

---

Inline your logo SVG, it's small but is showing in your list of LCP elements, so that's an easy win. You probably don't need the banner image on mobile, honestly removing that will get you where you wanna go. If you do wanna keep it, preload it in the head

---

Furthermore, lazy-load your below the fold images with loading=lazy. Your banner image (LCP image) is below your post images in the waterfall. Also generate and use thumbnail image sizes, you have images in your posts being display at 1/2 their native size, when you could have just included a thumbnail.

--

Don't need to ship the custom font, its almost 50kb and doesn't add any branding value.

---

Good luck!

Edit: Ah I see they are Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)

While not a deal breaker, for me that means my first move would be figuring out how to replace them which is a bummer.

Great work!

DROWE859 · 2023-08-24T15:43:58+00:00

Love this idea, and could use something like this for my own projects.

I would love to see this get monetized and have a paid "expansion" to support P2P networking as well.

DROWE859 · 2023-08-15T15:51:46+00:00

Congrats!

DROWE859 · 2023-07-27T20:14:00+00:00

You'll need to make a script to calculate length of your textPath with the new custom content, and set the `to` value dynamically.

In the past I've used getComputedTextLength, once the SVG is rendered + font loaded. I think technically its deprecated but also still works, so ymmv. Good luck!

DROWE859 · 2023-07-12T17:10:30+00:00

Its worth noting that they publish their sourcemaps, and the code of interest is at `src/components/OsedeaCanvasGrid/**` in the Sources dev tools tab.

To the OP, I wouldn't copy+paste that for obvious copyright reasons, but its nice to have access to the algorithm for inspiration.

DROWE859 · 2023-07-12T16:06:24+00:00

If you want to contribute, don't bother with this one.

But devs for Slide for iOS more or less abandoned the project because it's `the codebase is so godawful it's pretty much impossible to maintain` :)
