A couple of times I've tried somewhat seriously to build "google docs for ableton" (meaning two people editing the same project on different computers, seeing each other's edits in realtime). Frustratingly I decided it was impossible to do a really good job of it back then. This sounds like it might finally make it doable!

It's nice to see peoples' success stories with diagnoses. I've been suffering from something for more than 20 years now. I was healthy until 2005. Then it seemed like I got sick with some kind of virus and just... never got better. I have unpredictable good stretches and bad stretches. During my bad stretches I can't get out of bed. I've mostly given up on the idea of a diagnosis myself, after seeing dozens of doctors over the years, with the most positive interactions being Stanford researchers telling me I'm a really "interesting" case.

My 15 year old is devouring them right now. She pauses dozens of times every day to tell me the best jokes. I love it.

"... though when it tried to animate it the bicycle bounced off into the top and the bicycle got warped."

Should be the pelican bounced off.

I read them as a teenager, and now my teenaged daughter has started reading them. They are every bit as good as I remember them being.

A complaint asking what this has to do with hackers or hacking.

A question I enjoy asking myself when I'm wondering about this stuff is "if there are alien mathematicians in a distant galaxy somewhere, do they know about this?"

For complex numbers my gut feeling is yes, they do.

This is the approach I've settled on. My kids get a very small amount of actual youtube time each week. If they find a new channel they really like, they pitch it to me. If I think it's good enough, I download the whole thing with yt-dlp for them. It works pretty well for us.

Imagine buying a tennis racket and being interrupted, as you are playing, to be told to buy something else.

Sadly I've come to believe the pendulum is going to have to swing about this far before it might have a chance of swinging back.

This definitely qualifies as Something People Want, and it looks nicely executed. Very cool!
