Why can’t we fall asleep on command?
  • Sleep now is a lot more difficult than sleep 100 years ago.

    Light matters. Blue light from computer screens has been tied to sleep issues. The theory is that it mimics certain bandwidths of sunlight that our eyes are primed to read as "daytime, get up and start moving."

    Hydration and food matters. You need to be in a good state but shouldn't consume much right before bed.

    Exercise matters. A lot of people have trouble sleeping if they move around a lot before bed. Since we have electric lights and can stay up very late doing stuff, it's hard for your body to know it's time to start winding down.

    Best solution I've found: no caffeine after noon, consistent bed schedule (both going to sleep and waking up), black out curtains and/or sleep mask, earplugs/earbuds/brown noise track, and stop using screens an hour or two before bedtime.

  • LastPass users locked out (again) with infinite 2FA loop
  • The change was LastPass messing around with their membership options.

    I had LastPass for years. I eventually decided to pay for it. Then they decided to remove premium all together...only to add it back by taking away features. One of those features was being able to use both mobile and web.

    I opted for mobile, because I always have my phone with me, and the app has biometric unlock, whereas web does not.

    But you can't save and export your LastPass via mobile. Has to be web. So I had to switch that. And I'm just now getting to a point where I can transfer.

  • This is the entrance to the cafeteria in a US school. Absolute fuck you to the students if you ask me.
  • 100%.

    Research based education standards are light-years away from what we choose to do, because what we choose to do is based on 19th century attempts to industrialize. Meaning getting kids used to being away from extended family, stuck in a seat for hours, rote memorization, and regurgitation of whatever you're told.
