It might be interesting to purchase a cheap, digital one with stopwatch functionality.
One could keep track of how much time is spent on their iWatch: reading reviews, purchasing, reading the TOS and manual, customizing, purchasing apps, recharging, answering questions from interested parties, and possibly deleting ads.
You already have the 'conceal' feature in vim, which in vim2hs is used to replace \_ with a λ_. No need for plugins. I think the vim Rust plugin has support for it, but you need to set an option.
Yes, exactly, we can make translations of symbols so that it is actually easier for human readers to decode the meaning and message of the symbols. Perhaps we could even reuse previous symbols and meanings to convey what we want to convey instead of offering ambiguity.
I just wonder, who would have thought of such an idea. That is genious. And something that has completely evaded Rust designers.
Weed, caffeine, and sleep deprivation. Staring at Harris mainframe assembly language core dumps on reams of green bar paper... does things to a man. ;-)
HTML5 and Unicode are wonderful toys. Go play. My notes and early efforts on this go back to 1979. Anyone is welcome to them. It does take quite a bit of effort to transmit, so patience is a virtue here.

Edit: You'd be surprised how easy input becomes. It removes a huge mental load from context switching (e.g. hitting the same button to get Control F4, Control W, Apple W, Alt F Alt C, etc.).
Use a few touchpads which can change the symbols based on current context, and baby - you got a stew goin'.
Try to wrap your head around how many API's, tools, training materials, releases, updates and so forth have been done in thirty years which are effectively redundant.
The iWatch will contain regurgitations of the same todo lists, logging, sticky notes, etc. as the Palm Pilot, but without AAA batteries.
> Griefers have empirically demonstrated that websites can affect mental processes by using flashing images to trigger epileptic seizures.
That's true, but the conclusion you draw has a logical defect -- an epileptic seizure is not a mental process, it's a physical one. It can be started and stopped by electrical and other kinds of stimuli.
When you hear "epilepsy", think brain, not mind. When you hear psychology, think mind, not brain.
> Music in psychological warfare and torture is well documented.
Indeed it has, but there's no reliable science on that topic. The reason is there's no repeatable, objective way to gather evidence.
> The Amanda Todd death is sufficient to show that words have the power to kill.
The Amanda Todd death is sufficient to show that there's sometimes a correlation between words and death. To turn a correlation into science ... shall I go on, or do you know the rest of this old tune?
As for word of mouth, until John Deere adds a repeater onto their tractors it's what we have to work with. I'd use my Chromebook, but Google's networking layer in Javascript continues to remain broken.
>> there's something I need to watch closely and control,
>I humbly suggest you teach them self control. It's usually better to set an example rather than set the rules.
I humbly suggest you attempt teaching self control to four year olds and then come back with that comment. Children are not small adults. Their brains are different. That's why you need parents, to tell the child what to do and what not, set the boundaries and so forth.
Chuck Moore's book was enticing for many reasons (I miss the artwork in my orig copy). No error/exception handling was one. People of all ages must push the boundaries.
I was sincere in my use of humbly. Sarcasm has no place here.
Oh, sorry, my comment was out of line then and perhaps reflected my own frustrations as a parent. If you've managed to teach such small children not to spend all theit time with a tablet without explicit enforced time limits then I raise my hat to you. Children are different though...
I attempted by using enforced time limits. I did not succeed.
My child became addicted. I discovered him sprawled out unconscious like a junkie, with dead batteries littering the floor like so many used syringes, and knew he'd managed to obtain a hand held unit from somewhere.
Other comments made light of addiction, yet it's very real for some people. The slingshot response to control, overindulgence, seems to be common. Success stories about alcohol, drugs, pornography, and other adult subjects usually involve teaching self discipline early on with things such as sweets.
Try not to get too frustrated. The challenges of parenting don't last much more than three, maybe four decades.
The efficacy of bibliotherapy should not be readily dismissed. Words, written or spoken, images, still or moving, or sounds can create or alleviate illness in the mind. Idleness will deteriorate mind and body as surely as abuse or neglect.
That having been said:

be sure that you are not first, in fact, surrounded by a**holes."

> The efficacy of bibliotherapy should not be readily dismissed.
What happened to what is popularly known as common sense? A disease that can be treated by a website is virtual, not real. To see the point, try treating any real disease by visiting a website.
> Words, written or spoken, images, still or moving, or sounds can create or alleviate illness in the mind.
Yes, but only when an "illness in the mind" is imaginary.
> What happened to what is popularly known as common sense?
In my own experience, I did not gain "Common sense" until I did what you did - move to the middle of nowhere and gain direct experience. Until then, my understanding was gained through media.
> A disease that can be treated by a website is virtual, not real.
Let us begin by defining our terms. How do you define:
.) dis-ease
.) treated
.) website
.) real
.) imaginary
Make no mistake - I'm in assloads of pain with every keystroke but I will rip you a new one on this matter.
> Choose - mental illness is either real or it isn't.
Calling someone psychotic doesn't grant the reality either of the term's generally accepted meaning or mental illness as a category. Any more than the common use of the term "genius" is reducible to scientific consensus on the meaning of that term.
Negative feedback is being pruned and buried.
