> 7. Baby-led Weaning was amazing for us. No purees. No special "baby food". At six months, our kid ate with us on the table, same food as us. Really helps their independence, easier on groceries, and helps to bond eating the same thing together.

Totally! Only limiting factor are the teeth.


Also, no honey before 12 months because of that weird bacteria in it they can't handle yet.

But yes! Baby food may save time, but you can easily make pureed vegetables yourself (plenty of advice in books with tips on how to round out their dietary needs). Ice cube trays are useful if you prepare it in batches. Just defrost as many as you need before hand. We never gave our kid store bought baby food, and by age one he was eating along with us. At age three now he's a great eater.


Survival rate is probably up compared to 1960.


Would appreciate an anecdote.


Nice to see more competition in that space! I'm a long term happy user of https://unraid.net/, which I can very much recommend.


Neat. Nice write-up!


Yes, it's pretty decent for that.


After I started using Ubuntu, the predecessor xournal was my go-to reader. I never understood how the xoj files ended up being much smaller than the PDFs created by regular editors like Foxit once you drew something on the PDFs.

Added. Thanks!


+1 for current Garmin models. They finally fulfill the requirements my former Pebble models set.


Somewhat off topic: is there another English term for Zugwang?


The article offers the literal translation "move compulsion". No single word translation, alas. Languages like German and Dutch simply have more freedom to combine words into longer compound words (see this 63-letter example [1]).

Doubt it. For one, English doesn't often glue words together into a nice long spaceless string like German. Also there's a love of loan words (French, Latin) that means you wouldn't make up a term from your own vocab like the Germans do.

Have a google for "Uncleftish Beholding" for some entertainment.


Cosmic Wimpout is a very different game but I like the name of its rule that forces you to continue: "you may not want to buy you must". A bit too long to be a term though.


Must move.


Not quite the same, but being "stuck between a rock and a hard place" has a similar meaning. There's also Cornelian dilemma.

But at least in games like chess, everyone just says Zugzwang.


"Forced error"?


Nice project, although pretty opinionated. But I guess you have to do that when targeting the crazy browser environment with all its weird quirks (at least for non-web devs)..

Somewhat related is a library I've been working on to generate an ffi between Rust and js code: https://github.com/cloudpeers/ffi-gen

Also I really like your universal_thread abstraction, hiding the whole web worker mess. I did a similar thing here: https://github.com/wngr/wasm-futures-executor
