    To be fair, I’m all for whatever medium would allow science communication be more effective. And for certain demographics, videos are the only thing they could digest, even for things that don’t need visuals. It is what it is, and I’m not in a position to judge.

    But yeah, for people like us with one foot on the grave, every minute counts. And nothing beats the efficiency of skim-reading through text.

    For the older people like myself that don’t understand why everything needs to be a 5-minute video, here’s a 15-second read:

    Classical conditioning (also Pavlovian conditioning) is a type of learning that happens subconsciously.

    Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936) was the first to show the way in which it works. He did this in an experiment using dogs. Pavlov noticed that the dogs naturally salivated when they saw food. He paired this unconditioned stimulus (showing food to the dogs) with another, neutral stimulus: the ringing of a bell. Pavlov discovered that, if the two stimuli are presented together again and again, the organism learns that they belong together.









  • Oh hey. Wasn’t expecting you to pop up! Yeah, sorry, my rant wasn’t specific to Voyager (in fact, thank you for being one of the few allowing hiding vote buttons). I actually use Voyager on my larger devices.

    On my tiny phone though, a few things stand out:

    • Large padding between posts. Should probably scale with font size (or let users specify)
    • Smallest font size could be smaller.
    • No way to hide top & bottom bar (Sync hides them on scroll)

    Might dump then on GitHub when I have the time. But if someone else redding this has the free time, feel free to do so :)

    As much as I love Voyager, I’m a compact post list kind of guy. And nothing beats Sync’s post density and configurability.

    All I need is a title, the community it’s on, # of comments, and a small thumbnail. If I need anything else, I’ll click on the post.

    Why would I want an up/down vote button on a compact list? Who upvotes something just from the title??









  • The way I normally do it is the following. Strip the sleeve further back than you need (say, an inch). Untwist the 8 cores and separate them.

    Arrange them in the right order (the extra length makes this easy) Flatten, pack them together, and pinch with your thumb and forefinger near the base.

    Without letting go of the pinch, use your free hand to cut them to the correct length. Now that you have them flat between your fingers in the right order, it should be pretty straightforward to slide them into the connector.
