I think the big difference between having one and two, other than the baby/toddler phase being extended, is that with one, it is easier for one parent to look after them while the other does something non-child related.

It's obviously possible for one parent to look after more than one child but it feels like much more work, I'd say, than looking after a single child. On the other hand, if you have two children, they can play with eachother once they get to a certain age. Ours go and wake eachother up in the morning now rather than waking us up which is nice!

You will lose most of your free time the first few years if you have kids though. Not all of it, but life becomes much extremely interrupt-driven and is still that way even now ours are school age.
You could maybe, I dunno, click on the wikipedia link and read it.

The problem is that in the real world, especially with untrusted arbitrary input, you can easily cause these algorithms to take maximum time. Combine that with the typical (in)efficiency of HLLs and it's a potential for DoS. See the exponential backtracking behaviour of some regex engines for a related example.

Who said anything about forcing anyone? The problem described was LIDL sacking a bunch of people who had worked exclusively for them for 6 months and presumably would have been happy to continue doing so, except that LIDL would have had to pay a little more tax.

Also, if you can’t find people to hire for a mission critical system, that’s a strong sign that you either need to not make it critical or start aggressively investing in training — which is still considerably cheaper than a 500M write-off.

This. When rehearsing in your head, it's easy to gloss over parts that really need some working. When treating it as a proper presentation, those spots are painfully obvious. Better to find them alone, even if watching yourself is a bit awkward.

I also like to record myself because sometimes I find a good way to explain something, which I want to remember and explain the same way during my talk. It also helps with pacing. Am I too slow or too fast?
According to quite a lot of comparative planetary geology work, Mt. Everest, Mauna Kea, etc. are pretty close to the height limit imposed by gravity and structural strength. On some objects (like Mercury or the Moon: see https://arxiv.org/pdf/1511.04297.pdf) there aren't any mountains high enough to hit that limit, but Earth seems to have active enough tectonics to push up at that limit despite weathering.
The sides of the hook are shaped differently (one is rounded, the other pointed), so when it fits into the belly of the drone, the aerodynamically shaped package is pointed in the right direction.

Yeah, that was the media's name for it. I never heard people call it that until the magazines and tv used the term. That lumped in a bunch of stuff, from Queensryche to Soundgarden to Nirvana to Mudhoney.
While analogies to bridge building is tempting.. classical engineering is a lot saner than programming because the cost of bad code is low.

In theory you can always fix it.

And in practice it's cheaper to duct tape everything together and spend resources keeping it alive. Than writing everything right the first time.
Is coding becoming obsolete?
Because it is not a non-dota2 name.
Not necessarily. It's the same as with many creative fields.

An architect comes up with the overall concept and, if they're famous, gets their name on the building. But they still have a roomful of structural engineers figuring out how to stop it falling down.

Or a musician. Creating an album takes a team of session musicians, producers, engineers etc. But it's the artist's name that goes on the front.

GraphQL decouples the API and the database entirely. You can implement graphql as a direct DB access, but it's certainly not the intent. Quite the opposite really, it was designed in not small part to provide the ability to aggregate and re-organise data from multiple sources in a single coherent API.
Skill isn't required to make or present something that has an emotional reaction. Major artists have often had external craftspeople - Leonardo Da Vinci had a workshop.
I think you need to re-read the article, try to get past the allegorical beginning. The author is a software developer like you and me.

If you've worked with a team to build software, you know that everyone's got their own ideas or someone wants to use the hottest new tool or programming language of the day. If nobody is careful, then after awhile the team might have a really confusing tech stack with major parts in totally different implementations, even if that didn't happen, everyone's got their own preferred approaches for organizing code, etc. It's always turning into a hodgepodge if there's no discipline.

Ask HN: How much recurring income do you generate, and from what?
Just recently went on a bit of a neolithic binge. Fascinating work being done by this generation of archeologists, on a time where we previously had very little knowledge. There isn't much that survives 10k+ years, so lots of speculating, extrapolation and wondering by necessity.

Anyway, future archeologists will find a lot of things about us, that'd surprise us.

We have a continuity with paleolithic religions' "fertility cults." From Venus of Duseldorf figurines in the upper paleolithic to Madonna statuettes in half of European homes today, Europe has continued a long tradition of Mother Goddess worship as the primary religious object. Clearly, we are a matriarchal culture.

The ancient Egyptian, Summerian & Hittite sphinx continues to guard most temples (especially gothic and neogothic churches) in the form of the gargoyle. Clearly gargoyles-sphinxes are very important to our culture....

It's interesting, playing this game. One thing that it highlights is how low key and nearly invisible "memes" can become. Gargoyles aren't really a part of our myths and religions (never heard a priest mention one), but they are all over European Christian churches and other buildings. Is this sphynx related? Seems possible. They look similar and are used in the same way architecturally as Hittite sphinxes. If they are related, it isn't in a way that's commonly known. What is the christian-gargoyle connection anyway? Is there a mythology that goes with these symbols? Do they symbolise anything to us or are they just a thing we're putting on houses of worship out of habit?

The Madonna is an important religious symbol, but not the main character or god of the religion. Still, you'll find more Madonna in household or public religious art than you will find Jesus art. Then, most Jesus art is symbolic (a cross) and we don't do YHVH (jesus' dad) art because depicting god was a Taboo. It isn't taboo in this milenia, so god is *occasionally" depicted in Christian art (eg the sistine chapel) but the ancient customer was different. The result is that churches don't seem to be temples to god, to archeologists.

Looking at a pile of art and symbols and stuff... I think we assume it had a symbolic or mythological sense to it. A reason that ancient priests could have articulated. In truth we are probably overphasizing some things that they though of as unimportant and completely missing other things that were vital to understanding the culture.
Good article, but should be marked with a year, it's fairly old. Tack "[2013]" on the end as is the accepted practice here. I enjoyed reading it though.
> Disney and extended copyright is the reason you don't see more Star Wars content. If Star Wars copyright had expired, you will see a lot more content about that fictional universe.

When Disney acquired LucasFilms my first thought was that they will probably kill the Star Wars Extended Universe and in a sense they did. There was a tremendous amount of Star Wars comics from Dark Horse during the 90s and 00s that built upon the whole Star Wars mythology. The "Old Republic" series (including the games) is probably the most enjoyable Star Wars story I've ever encountered but alas everything was rendered non-canon when Disney worked their magic. Now everything Star Wars revolves around the original chronology rehashing the same things over and over again in a "panem et circences" manner with no hope of seeing any new stories of any kind.

It's a shame
Also:

5) phages are viruses and our bodies are very efficient at not letting them in, so you can't just pop a pill, you need them injected into the bloodstream

6) you need a lot of phages (and/or a steady supply of them) because they don't replicate in our bodies (they don't infect us), but our immune system is very good at clearing them out so their blood concentration drops really fast

7) because phages are viruses and we need them injected into bloodstream in copious amounts, our own immune response to them may become a problem. Potentially-fatal-cytokine-storm kind of a problem.

A few centuries earlier that would have been worrying about adding extra teeth to the gear wheel driving the mechanical clock.
I don’t agree with this. For example, you can set up a collection of assumptions to underpin frequentist statistics, and then create a set of theorems about consistent or unbiased estimators, and develop a theory like that of p-values.

But then in a practical setting, the model doesn’t correspond to something physical or to the inference goal of a practitioner. The p-value tells you something about the relative extremity of a certain statistic that, under certain assumptions, will have a particular distribution.

The practitioner wants to know the posterior probability of a particular model or hypothesis given the data, and the frequentist outcome literally can’t comment on it.

In this sense I think being able to state assumptions and connect them to outcomes with theorems is good, but not always necessary or even sufficient for applied work.

And there can creep in nasty subjective aspects of the problem that are uniquely defined by the specific inference goals at hand. Proofs about how a model would behave under assumptions are often totally useless in these cases. Practitioners don’t use linear regression for complex financial models because the assumptions hold or because of nice properties if the assumptions held. They use them because it’s simple and easy and sort of “just works” despite glaring flaws.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S9 a few days back. The preinstalled Facebook app (which I immediately disabled) has a listed version of 'stub (23.1.1)', and it's only 127 kB large.
Coincidentally, today at work I wrote a piece of code that reminded me of this article (specifically the part about Good Code). It's not revolutionary in its function or even critical to the application. It just does one thing well and I'm fairly certain I'll never have to touch it again. It's these little moments of joy that, for me, make up for a lot of the tediousness of day-to-day programming.

> that said, there's some value to be had in discoverability, even if rest grossly gloss over how to discover parameters for the action that the state holds.

There absolutely is and API systems like graphql have taken that to heart (playing with a graphql explorer is delightful).

But forcing all programmatic interactions through a "discoverability" layer is not useful, yet that's essentially what REST (as originally formalised) mandates.
I don't follow. How does the second sentence connect to the first?
I guess the technician also gets paid regardless of whether the piece is well-received or sells for a high price. So the artist is also taking all of the risk.
Yeah true! The one day dance festivals really got the message here. Those are lovely. But the clubs etc really don't (I'm in NL too).

I wish all of Europe had English pub/club opening hours. I mean it's not like the English party (or drink) less than us here on the continent. They just start earlier. That makes a lot of sense!

In hindsight I was jetlagged twice a week just by moving forward and back my biorhythm every weekend, during much of my youth. That was unhealthy and totally unnecessary if only party times were more sane.
> The data we collect is not personally identifiable, and we try to keep it as minimal as possible. :)

Hey Gaëlle!

Huh? Unique ID + /24 + screen resolution is the opposite of "not personally identifiable". You may not use it that way yet, but that's only because no one applied enough incentive or force yet.
I'm not sure that some Jar-Jar-less sequels and some decent spinoff movies is worth deep-sixing thirty years of Lucas-approved world-building.
Yes, we need to emphasize this point.

Netflix (and Youtube and Hulu and all the other big content providers) pay big bucks (millions per month) to get the content from their servers to the internet backbone. Their contracts with their ISPs don't specify where the traffic goes. They just buy lots of 10 gpbs links, and send the data off. They're paying their share.

Your contract with your ISP doesn't distinguish between getting traffic from a mom&pop website or Netflix. It just said they would deliver the rated speed (7 mpbs or 10mbps, or 100mbs) of data to you for your fixed monthly fee.

When the ISPs found out that people were actually using that much data (that YOU PAID FOR), they found they had underprovisioned their network, and couldn't support the load. ISPs started saying, "Netflix is using too much", because, really, it's rude to blame your customer for using the service you provide as contracted.

This is called double-dipping.

So - Netflix is paying their fair share. You are paying your fair share. If your ISP can't handle the traffic demands of their customers, they need to suck it up and provide the capacity that you're paying for.

> 1) Even with resistance on the rise, we still have antibiotics that work. Phage therapy is a "someday we're going to need this...we think" type treatment.

We have antibiotics that work for most infections. For people with antibiotic-resistant infections (especially hospital-borne ones) they are already not an option. A childhood acquaintance of mine with CF recently died of an antibiotic-resistant infection in her newly-transplanted lungs. Lack of awareness and research into phage therapy was fatal in her case, as it meant they started the process late and it took longer than it needed to.

Said process is: take samples of the infectious agent, culture them, and send the cultured bacteria to "phage banks" so they can test their existing phages against it. There's a lead time both because of the initial setup required per-patient, and because of the scarcity of comprehensive phage banks and the lack of good coordination between them.
A related issue is the people that see a one to one relationship between the endpoints and the database records that is exposed through the endpoints. As opposed to exposing the business actions through resources and not be dependant on the underlying representation.
not sure about "the best way", but besides the obvious cases ( factory, singleton ) i apply the Kerievsky's Refactoring To Patterns method.

“Instead of thinking about a design that would work for every nuance of a system,
test-first programming enabled me to make a primitive piece of behavior work correctly
before evolving it to the next necessary level of sophistication.”
Kerievsky (2002)

If a piece of code survives long enough to deserve some refactoring, then i take a closer look at the patterns.
Reposting an old comment. The art world obeys supply and demand - where demand has no relation to the real world. Damien Hirst is a marketing genius. He needs a factory to build his art, much like Porsche.

If you are more curious about the contemporary art world market and why $29M is not that expensive[1], I recommend "The $12 Million Stuffed Shark: The Curious Economics of Contemporary Art".
In general, brand (in this case Christie's and Sotheby's) ranks supreme above all else. Once you are branded, you can pretty much sell anything as expensive art.
Also, an interesting factoid - when we hear of Far East/Middle East buyers bidding tens of millions (or more) for a painting, we naturally tend to think - who buys that without seeing it - but as the book points out - the painting has most likely gone to see the buyer already (e.g. Dubai/Hong Kong pre-auction private tour).

Excerpts from the book:

"Money itself has little meaning in the upper echelons of the art world -- everyone has it. What impresses is ownership of a rare and treasured work such as Jasper Johns' 1958 White Flag. The person who owns it (currently Michael Ovitz in Los Angeles) is above the art crowd, untouchable. What the rich seem to want to acquire is what economists call positional good; things that prove to the rest of the world that they really are rich."

In software development I tend to believe that the idea is not particularly valuable. The real value is being able to implement an idea effectively. That is what makes a great product work.

It is striking how differently the art technicians in this article think. They see the idea as having all the intrinsic value. More cynically I wonder if it is really the marketing value of a big name rather than the quality of ideas that count. A great idea by an art student is far less valuable than a great idea from a famous painter or sculptor.
As a 90s kid living on the other side of the Atlantic that was my name for it too. The proliferation of the "Seattle Scene" was very much a product of MTV and 90s culture. I guess it's more of a cultural category than a musical one, but then again you could say the same thing about punk!

This is a rather naive position which ignores the information and power disparities. The average person doesn’t have time to review every contract for everything they use, nor is it clear why this should be unlike every other thing you buy simply because it involves software, and there are whole sectors where the only option is not to have e.g. mobile phone service.

It’s especially sad to see you trying to spin blocking someone’s ability to exercise their right to use the legal system as a pro-liberty move. At the least you can be honest and acknowledge that it’s about saving money.
