In the end, if we’re just comparing anecdata, this isn’t going to be productive.

I definitely see your point around a lot of people trying to be so inclusive, they end up being somewhat racist. But I see this more of a lack of proper cultural empathy/education -- go figure, Dunning-Kruger is everywhere all the time. But as you said,

> This law is about what books are in public libraries.

So why would we ban the books, rather than encourage reading them and having the more meaningful discussions focusing on heritage rather than identity?

As a slightly more abstract aside, identity anything to me is a slippery slope because it will always automatically encourage one to make assumptions; it's a mental shortcut to say Person A == Person B iff PersonA.identity == PersonB.identity. Given that education is hard, learning is hard, and life is hard, I think we need to at least emphathize and appreciate that teachers and the the education system in general need to often fall back on these sorts of mental shortcuts. But that's we need to really invoke our right, privilege, and duty of grassroots participation. Why not walk into that book club that's overcompensating and help them learn what is making you uncomfortable? You might be surprised at how ignorant they were of their own mistakes and that they're willing to learn from your perspective.

This is an application that came from a simple (yet unfilled) need I had. When sitting down to practice music, I had trouble keeping track of all the different pieces I knew and which ones I have or haven’t played recently. But I wanted to make sure I kept practicing the old ones mixed in with the new, so ended up with a mess of lists and notes on my phone.

I’ve also always been fascinated by the theories of spaced repetition[2], but they’ve always been geared toward very atomic bits of learning (languages, technical vocabulary, etc.).

So I decided to combine the two into a slightly fancier todo list: one where your tasks will never be “done”, but if you do them well, you do them less often; and if you don’t do so well, it will prompt you to repeat them more often until you do them better. As far as I could find, this sort of thing wasn’t available, so I made one.

Any feedback, comments, critiques, are appreciated. There are certainly bits of the app that aren’t finished (what software is ever complete?) but would also love suggestions on extra things I might consider adding in the future.

One example source, but it is pretty common in general: http://www.mathwords.com/s/set_subtraction.htm

So you can confirm that you did lose ad revenue because of the claim and really are just stuck until somebody steps in and reverses it? Or is it as described in the YT terms linked in another comment?

If yes to the former, that's horrifying.
