Society has to make it okay for Fathers to play this role. Right now, it is "expected" that Mothers are the primary caregivers - this is entirely cultural, and must change.

Fathers stepping in is one way it'll change. Mothers stepping out is another. To find the balance we have to make room for it.
I've never heard of counterfeits (by 3rd party, fulfilled by amazon) being mixed with official products(sold by amazon) on .fr (yet). Any pointers on this being done for .de ?
To be fair, raw types like List are really deprecated and only exist in order to interface with legacy APIs.

No. It should not.

But that’s completely unfair. Xi does not even claim to be beta. I haven’t touched it in months. But when I did, it was a good (start of) a Mac frontend that was clearly not finished.

The only people I imagine using it now probably use it to dogfood the backend and piece together a solid plugin API.

I would prefer Xi-style win the mind share. Native front ends that tie to a common solid backend that a large community can share to build strong plugin support.

I’ll settle for xray-style, a better cross-platform frontend that doesn’t redraw large portions of the DOM quite so often. Javascript is fast enough. A good (heh) extension language. The drawing layer is what makes Electron a slow, bloated choice for a text editor.

Since Atom came out, I have had a backgrounded dream that once things settled, they would write a faster front end for the text. But that is difficult to do if your API is “can you do it in the DOM with javascript?

But they are atom.io. They can change their API if they need to.

VS Code, with its well-bounded API is a much better candidate. And I would love to be surprised by a Microsoft skunkworks non-Electron release.

Xi, is a solid idea. Don’t know if they can build a community out of nothing. I am worried that an API of ”here is a JSON firehose, hook up whatever you want to it” will fragment the backend.

I think Xi would be well served by saying “Here is your firehose, but, the official way is our VS Code emulation plugin.” Or something solid and well-defined.

It is unclear where Xi is going so far, that may happen.
Not who you responded to, but as he stated, the best method is the unit circle.

Take a circle of radius 1 around the origin. Draw a line with angle x through the origin. The point where this line intersects the circle has vertical position sin x and horizontal position cos x. Moreover, if you measure the angle in radians, x is how much of the unit circle your angle covers.

This also immediately makes the identity (sin x)^2 + (cos x)^2 = 1 obvious.

Exactly. My bad posture got fixed immediately. Good posture is defined by core muscles (what you have around your waist and a bit above), and contrary to what many people believe, straight back and posture is much more a function of strong belly than back muscles. But as name suggests, core is a set of them, truly a ring around the whole waist.

I personally do squats, deadlifts, 3 minute planks at the very end of workout ('finisher') and other exercises where core is a secondary, stabilizing muscle (pullups, running etc).

For start I would recommend something with body weight (pushups, planks), simple and easy to do, and focus on many repetitions. Much safer than trying to push to your max and injure something in your back with long recovery.

It's a mistake in training to focus only on one part of the body. Over time developing all muscles helps tremendously with any activity/sport.
A few years ago I went to a dinner party at an anthropology professor's home. He was a big game hunter, and an entire floor of his house was full of taxidermied animals of all types and sizes, from all over the world.

The idea of sport hunting (i.e. killing things for fun) still troubles me, but I have to admit it was fascinating to get to see those animals up close (much closer than I would at a zoo). Presumably those dead animals will still be providing that opportunity long after their zoo counterparts have been replaced by a new generation of captives.
State of ICO ratings in 2018
I had an idea to use the gmail API to create reminders based on a user's inbox. Google implemented it before I attempted it.
I had a heck of a time at my previous workplace being comfortable; tried different sitting positions, standing part of the day, etc.

Then I came to my current workplace which had Aeron chairs. I don't even think about how I'm sitting now, I just sit how I'm comfortable. I sit reclined, my arms only a few inches below my shoulders, resting on my desk. My eyes are level with about 3" from the bottom of my monitors. I'm probably breaking every ergonomics rule.

I have to have my phone remind me to get up, if it was just about comfort or back pain I could sit all day.

Who knows if there will be long term effects from this, but my body is telling me no. Invest in a good chair.

The Atlantic should be ashamed of this headline.

Winkler's essay in the Saturday WSJ on this same topic says this: "Corporate personhood is a foundational principle of business law. In 1757, Blackstone in his influential 'Commentaries on the Law of England' wrote that corporations were 'artificial persons.' Open any corporate law casebook and one of the first lessons will be that corporations are legal persons." [0]

So, "Corporations are People" isn't a new idea, is much older than the 19th Century, and Winkler himself says otherwise.

Low morale from being captive.
Spotify doesn't make the most amount of money for the record companies by plays. It makes most of the money for record companies by having sold them stock in Spotify. The Needle Drop talked about this recently - artists could have gotten more money, but record labels wanted equity positions in Spotify rather than higher fees.
In practice, my projects more often fail because I don’t do anything, than me going off in the wrong direction.
Revolutionizing the Freelance Marketplace
After months of closely examining the freelance marketplace, and the industry's inability to quickly get tech and web development micro-tasks done, it's really exciting to see the launch of www.Joule.ai

General sentiments regarding the current freelance marketplace incumbents (Upwork, Fiverr, etc.) and the industry as a whole are quite negative. Go to Reddit and search topics such as "freelance" to see the attitudes people currently have. Check out some of the support tickets that Upwork posts on its Twitter account. It's not good, to say the least.

Joule really did its research when it came to discovering what customers wanted and how a platform could help people get tech tasks done more quickly and simply.

We're looking forward to seeing how Joule will revolutionize the freelance marketplace and hope you do too!

Do you have advice for which fast, good-enough approximations one can use instead in the situations where the precision is not needed?

In many use-cases we would pre-multiply the value we throw into sin and cos with two times Pi anyway, so couldn't one skip the circle constant altogether and a write function like sin_one(t) and cos_one(t), where each call "implicitly multiplies" t by two times Pi? (perhaps, if constructed well, the function could even be more precise, since it avoids the rounding errors, however small, of multiplying by the pi constant)
I agree with this. The topic is vast and number of opinions will be equal to number of people.

Google offered all free IPv6 peering to all major transit carriers. Cogent turned them down and said, no, you need to pay Cogent for this. They were the only carrier to do this. So Cogent uses other transit carriers to reach Google. If you're on Cogent, you don't have a direct peering connection to Google. They probably did this to balance out their ratios with other carriers, but it's bad from a customer perspective.

You're better off using another tier 1 carrier than Cogent if you use a fair amount of Google.
And the alternative is what? Just let them spend whatever they want? How can politicians in Sweden do the same job without spending exorbitant amounts of money? They clearly don't need this much money.
Why driverless cars will mostly be shared, not owned
It's a sad state of affairs in major Polish cities. Out of the 4 major tech hubs: Warsaw, Krakow, Wroclaw, 3-city (Gdansk/Sopot/Gdynia which form one long city) air is terrible in all with the exception of 3-city. Even there it's not so rosy (depends on the area, some are very clean, some not so much but air pollution stations are too sparse to show it). I moved out because of it and I wouldn't advise anyone to live in Poland (outside 3-city) if they have other options. It's not worth it to risk your health.

The situation is terrible for many reasons but major 2 are ancient coal/junk heating (people won't upgrade to eco-friendly heating because most of them are dirty poor and their main problem is to find a cheaper coal substitute for next winter) and Germans flooding us with used diesel cars with particulate filters long not working (or removed). There is a lot of talk about CO2 but this is long term danger while used diesel cars are poisoning us right now at massive scale.
That's technically true, but there's more to learn than that. Wouldn't it be good to know exactly what it is about captivity that's killing them and try to fix it? It does seem to offer some insights about human health too.

I was taught the triangle method in high school and never got a good grasp of it. In college, we used the unit circle method. It is so much more intuitive. Memorizing the unit circle and all the values of sin and cos is so much easier because you just visualize the circle.
I've had precisely the opposite experience - for me, JACK is amazing and gives me 40-channels of pro audio over my external audio interfaces (I run a studio with a Linux DAW), but if I put PulseAudio anywhere near this configuration, it dies in a burning pile of poo. I despise PulseAudio and will never use it.
Unless you can find repairpeople willing to work for a great deal less than minimum wage it's going to be hard to make this work on most gear. Labor alone is enough to kill repair efforts. Even if corporations tried to make more repairable gear it wouldn't help if labor is still too expensive to make it worth it. (And if that's true, then making the gear less repairable and cheaper becomes a rational response to the market rather than a conspiracy.)

I lift weights and stretch on a regular basis. Even though I spend only a fraction of my time doing this and most of my time sitting I do not suffer from back pain or posture problems. I used to suffer from both.

I've been doing strength training for almost two years now and I've got to the point where my strength is classed as "advanced". That's roughly where a reasonably strong person can expect to get to with consistent training and no drug use. I also finely control my diet.

For strength training I used a program called Greyskull LP (Phrak's variation) [1] and for my diet I use Leangains. Both are quite technical and make sense to hackers, I think. Phrak's variation of GSLP is important because it places equal emphasis on pull movements for upper body. These are better for the shoulder joints than pushing and lead to having balanced strength. Unbalance is the cause of many pains and posture problems.

For stretching I used a program calling "Starting Stretching" [3]. I was able to increase my flexibility significantly which helps me with cycling.

You're view seems too informed by your technical background. I can't imagine a rise in home servers to facilitate IoT as most customers will never have that level of interest in IoT products unless this is a type of product installed and maintained by a trained technician. Most applications don't justify that level of involvement.

This is the primary reason for doing compute and data storage away from the edge device. The edge device has to be dead simple that someone with hardly any technology background can place it and set it up. The customer just doesn't care enough to spend much time with any one IoT device. These class of devices are by and large adding only marginal value to the customer's life. Every detail they have to think about when working with the device becomes an impediment to their using the device at all.

>"Trying to define "life" is one of the central questions of the philosophy of biology."

If this is true then "philosophy of biology" is a likely a total waste of time. It is obvious that life vs non-life is an artificial categorization that humans use because it is useful to them.

EDIT: it doesn't actually address the question until the PS. Just my 2 cents on back pain while coding. But it implies not sitting....

Actually, something I just realized is that I'd rather be mostly lying and trying to find a neutral position that gives be proper head alignment while not 'flex' my neck muscles. It allows me to type use my computer while completely relaxed.

It requires being able to lie down and exercise every 2h to 'activate' you muscles every so often.

I know that in this position, I can type for 12 hours easy, a few days in a row (I'm only 26 though). My father has bad back pain (slipped disc for many decades) and since I was a kid I've seen him work on his computer lying down over week-end in his bed with a bunch of pillows.

But I always wondered if this was actually a sustainable posture. What do you guys think ? Would I rather code sitting down as much as I can and only lie down when I need to ? But if it's better to kinda lye down like in a Lamborgini when using a computer, maybe that's the future ! ^^

I'm sorry I don't have a better recommendation for OP, good luck to you :)

P. S. I've seen people recommend the Kinesis Advantage2 keyboard, just letting your know that my brother was going through RSI and this keyboard helped him tremendously. He also invested in an 'ergonomic' chair he felt comfortable working on. And also invested in a desk that you can raise and work standing up from. It's a big investment but he's feeling muuuuch better. You're an 'athelete' of the computers, I think that justifies buying 'athlete' equipment for us. Just like a race car driver has an crazy car or Federer has a crazy racket and good shoes.

You know, I kind-of agree with that post. There's no rules against posting "Hey HN, what do you think of this idea?" which is essentially the same thing.

I think there is value in having a consolidation of these threads, though.
That’s pretty funny though I don’t think it’d work on a modern setup as everyone I’ve seen for the past 20 or so years does a hard power off after holding down the power button for 5+ seconds.
I've never thought of LINQ as black magic and have scaled some astoundingly complex LINQ queries in a past life. I've even done some things in LINQ optimization that you couldn't do in just "normal" SQL (clever joins of databases on different servers without linked servers; complex client-side caching and statistics work).

I think LINQ gets a lot of flak it doesn't necessarily deserve in complex queries due to people stopping at the black box and assuming black magic. It's a very functional programming paradigm embedded in an otherwise procedural world, and so the skills to debug complex LINQ should be unsurprisingly just a bit different than debugging most else in C#. I don't blame people for stopping at the black box. I just think more people should know that you can do more than stop at the black box.

(Also, it amuses me that your example from ASP.NET identity's changes have nothing to with that it should be using raw SQL queries versus LINQ, and everything to do with denormalization versus the query execution engine. It shouldn't be a huge surprise that Microsoft might trust SQL Server to be able to UPPER() and CONTAINS() fast enough, and the queries rare enough that it isn't necessary to denormalize that information.)

A hidden lesson in asking for demands in writing. If she had said, “feel free to call”, they would have tried to intimidated her over the phone, with near-violent threats that likely would not stand up in a court of law. But her saying “email” showed to these vultures that she knew the power of the paper trail. So they disappeared, rather than risk exposure.
