IMO wardrobe concerns should come far behind health. Is this not a serious “all hands on deck” health situation? Are you sure considering custom tailoring is the correct life prioritization to take right now?


IMO it’s time for a reckoning of what’s systematic/automated vs what’s not.

For example, “no expectation of privacy in public” meant you should be okay with appearing in someone else’s (manual) photo while out in public. However, I don’t think that should extend to persistent systematic surveillance, e.g. suppose every Tesla’s camera captures were combined with person recognition systems and tracking.

Just because something is theoretically okay at a small scale doesn’t mean the same applies at large scales.

Another example: Society funds public roads via government taxes for personal use and for regulated commercial use. Uber systematically consumes public road space under the guise of personal use vehicles, for commercial use.


Yes, I’ve seen a video file that changes resolution mid-video, but it’s more of a party trick since not all players handled it well

Specifically, I saw a group chat program rendered it “correctly” (Discord? I don’t remember), so the embedded video would re-flow the rendered chatroom while playing

For someone learning programming from zero, it was specifically invented to be:

Hedy is the easy way to get started with textual programming languages! Hedy is free to use, open source, and unlike any other textual programming language in three ways.

  1. Hedy is multi-lingual, you can use Hedy in your own language
  2. Hedy is gradual, so you can learn one concept and its syntax a time
  3. Hedy is built for the classroom, allowing teachers to fully customize their student’s experience

Adding to the points above:

At the end of the gradual progression, Hedy becomes vanilla Python.

An aspect of the 3rd point is having an online editor & execution environment, so you don’t need to deal with setup.

After completing the Hedy lessons, can follow up with other learning resources like freecodecamp.org or codeacademy.com.
