There’s good stuff going on in this short piece, even if you’re not particularly interested in Japan/Japanese. Language, computation, UX; but also: what is a “problem” and what does it mean to “solve” it? @TeXtip/1116671112316968960

Tip for insomniacs trying to bore themselves to sleep: Try to figure out why this is nine by e.g., googling “Zero Width Joiner” and/or reading the Twitter documentation page on character counts and diacritical marks. @lukestein/1060676308454203392

Question: Is there a good levered product designed for long-term investors? I’m imagining - Moderate leverage¹ - Low expense - Infrequent lever rebalances² (monthly? quarterly?) - Tax-conscious³ If not, why not?⁴ Especially now that standard deduction↑ and SALT cap in place?⁵ @lukestein/1128335221873496065

Interesting article about technological progress and what makes software “feel slow” despite exponential growth in processor speed. Amazingly, typing latency is >3x on a MacBook Pro compared to an Apple IIe! 🤦🏻‍♂️ inkandswitch.com/slow-software.html

My good friends Lauren and @davidddodge run afterschool/camp-based programming classes for kids, and also offer online classes. Here they run through resources for helping teach your kid to code (with or without a @CodaKid class). @CodaKid/1102663075461623808
