> So do you want to increase the child to minder ratio, cut benefits, or cut opening hours?

All of the above, if the market will bear it (and I think in the case of reduced benefits, it will not - see my last paragraph).

The point is that these decisions shouldn't be made by the government for the center and the parents who use it.

Where I live the ratio is 4:1. Who's to say that 5:1 couldn't work, aside from the fact that the government doesn't allow it? What about something like 9:2, which would enable a single person to handle tasks that crop up (changing diapers, dealing with a fussy child, etc.) while the other handles the happy kids? what about 3 rooms at 6:1 with 2 floating caregivers who go where they're needed?

Under a heavily regulated environment, none of these options can be explored.

As far as benefits, as you said, I think at this point they are probably already getting above mandatory minimums, so regulation probably isn't having a huge effect there.
Good point about prepaid cards. Like anything of this nature, a lot depends on who you're hiding from and why. It's one thing to thwart generic big corporation knowing where you've been and what you've bought. It's another to be hiding from someone who has some degree of access to your computer and financial accounts. It's still another to be actively hiding from individuals or entities with varying degrees of law enforcement authority and varying degrees of interest in tracking you down.

Totally naive question, but how does this work? I have trouble seeing the extra security value.

Does "select passport from customers" no longer work as a query? Or do you store an encrypted value in the table that you then decrypt on demand? Is the decryption performed by a microservice that add an additional layer that would need to be hacked?
How frequently is that database backed up? How many hours of work are users going to lose? And you're going to wake up at 3:00am and take 2 hours to get a new server online?

This is all fine for a service with a few thousand users that's not mission critical. But I assume the article is about building apps to be a real business not just a hobby.

I run a few hobby sites under the same scenario as you but all my work sites have multiple servers to fail over to and replicated databases.

> How many people in a CS or engineering program aren't treating the education as vocational?

In my experience at an R1 university (not an Ivy, but still respectable), even before the latest tech bubble, very few undergrad and master's CS students saw it as anything but vocational. However, they were a nice source of profit for the department, especially the international ones, so everyone went along.

Raspberry Pi Zero as SMS Gateway
This kind of a design seems to make certain rows be accessed very often, no matter what data ends up actually being read. Doesn't this imply a hard bottleneck as, whilst DynamoDB IO operations can scale __infinitely__, they can only do so if the operations are spread over a random distribution of keys over which the backend can be partitioned, thus scaled horizontally, right?
Generally not. We prefer to have our child in a center, where there are more children, more support staff, and more teachers, and in our state such institutions are not allowed to operate without a license (the state will shut them down).

That's more reasonable. I wonder if these work via Firefox? Maybe that's why I've never seen them.
This advice is dangerous to take too literally though. I understand what you're trying to say but when it comes down to it, people work best with a manager they relate to and respect on a personal level.

Being completely stoic at all times risks losing that personal, human connection with your teammates (yes, teammates, not team. To be an effective leader you must be a member of the team, not a separate entity above it). You need to be a human.
Fully 3D-Printed 7-Segment “Digital” Clock Driven by 28 Servos
Of course this is just my opinion, but in many situations I think tacking one small change on to the easiest place is fine. My comment earlier wasn't meant as a criticism of that practice. It's just I would consider refactoring after this happens multiple times: at some point, all those little tweaks can add up enough that the original design of the "core" code gets lost in the noise.

When exactly is the right time can be hard to figure out. Especially because, if enough hacks have accumulated that code really does need a reshuffle, then the job of refactoring is harder, which actually increases the temptation to put it off. But I wouldn't make a big sweeping change just because of one small hack that's a bit ugly.
Fully siloed infrastructure and development teams can't deliver value on their own either. You can have specialists without silos.
Charity Majors: Engineering Management: The Pendulum or the Ladder
I'm speaking to this discussion, not the submitted article. Sure, start with a web app (though it really depends on the target -- if the web app yields a sub-standard interface, performance, or utility it's a dead end) with hopes of building an app when you have an established base.

However in this discussion there are a lot of people who are arguing from the perspective of a world that doesn't exist, based upon the same "this changes everything" argument we've heard every year.
did you read the article completely? there are 9 critics that worked with them, 6 ceased doing so. the company formed and closed it's non-profit venture and they are using typical pharma tactics, creating patents around it. spin is one thing but those facts do tell a story on it's own.

> These experts are further troubled by the company’s business structure: Having first registered as a charity, Goldsmith and Malievskaia set up a for-profit corporation working towards the same ends just one year later, and closed their non-profit less than two years after that. And all 9 of these critics charge that Compass Pathways has relied on conventional pharmaceutical-industry tactics that could help them dominate the field, including blocking potential rivals’ ability to purchase drugs, filing an application for a manufacturing patent, and requiring contracts that give Compass power over academics’ research and are restrictive even by pharmaceutical-industry standards.
The size of RISC-V all depends on the decisions by the salespeople over at ARM.

If they see the threat and dramatically reduce prices, ARM will stay dominant while RISCV remains a 'maybe one day' thing.

If they miss the threat, the industry will switch over to RISCV, and ARM will go bankrupt.

The whole RISCV project exists as a bargaining chip against ARM.

Disagree. $60 is nothing if this tool saves me hours of time. The developers need to make sure they make enough money to keep the project going.

I like this project way better than Bootstrap Studio or any of the others I've tried.

Some suggestions:

1. As others have mentioned, HTML editing is pretty important. I'd like to see my actual content when picking a layout.

2. Would also like to see a theme picker, so I can cycle through combinations of colors/fonts/etc. and see what looks best. I know I can do that under Change Styles, but I haven't the artistic skills to pick individual values and have them look good.

3. Add a search box component.

4. I don't see a way to add a sidebar menu on the left and have a custom content area on the right. It would be nice to have some way to nest components. This is important because I would probably use this mostly for building admin interfaces and dashboards.

5. Someday, in the future, and maybe this is well beyond scope, I'd like to have Vue components so I could just hook them all together and they just work. I expect that that would be a massive undertaking, though.

#1 & #2 are pretty important. The rest -- I don't think they're critical to having a commercially successful project.
I'm not sure that's entirely the same as this. If you didn't know exactly how Better Help was setup, it could be difficult to understand that. Also, Better Help may actually provide some value, but just a value that is in a gray area.

I guess it depends on what your threshold for "advertisement" is...

Is a video tour of the Grand Canyon a National Parks advertisement? Is someone fixing their broken-down car and advertisement for that car brand? Is a guy tearing down a drill an advertisement for that tool brand? What if he talks about all the shitty design in the tool? What about if most of his videos come down hard on the tools, and then one he declares "not teabag" (Canadian for "not too bad")? Is that an advertisement for that brand that didn't suck? Are political commentary videos advertisements for a party or politician or idea?

Are cat videos an advertisement for cats?

I guess it depends on what you are getting out of the video. I, personally, mostly watch youtube videos to be entertained or to learn things. Now, many of them will change my perception about brands or ideas, either positively or negatively. But, to me, they are serving a "higher purpose". Hell, I've even watched make-up videos like you describe (my daughter needed help with doing winged eyeliner), so I know what you're talking about.

I'm not saying your point is invalid, it very much is. I have a pretty low threshold for traditional advertisements. But I think it's important to talk about the good and the bad, because there's a lot good on youtube that can get painted bad by ideas that all of this is advertisements.

But the paid shills? Ugh! They have to be teaching or entertaining me a lot for me to be able to stomach them. I'm looking at you, Wranglerstar.
> Given the fact that most people are already maxed out on apps on their device

This argument has been given a few times here. But I question whether web applications are a solution. Aren't these just more applications that people are overwhelmed with but harder to find and use?

If you've got a brilliant new app (web or mobile) I'm still fatigued either way. The mental effort is the same. Saying the mobile apps are "maxed out" seems to me to apply to web apps in just the same way.

We in the first world are overcomplicating eating. This leads to food obsession and disordered eating overall. Restrictive diets as such are more of problem than a solution as they again create unhealthy food focus. Diet industry is an extremely powerful entity as you can see even in the comments here, where every single person has been deeply influenced by contradictory data.

We should focus much more on experiences of living, how our bodies feel when we consume foods overall and looking to balance out natural sources of foods with modern sources without losing quality of life.
Could you elaborate on what you mean by this? Were you wanting people to be able to publish proofs that they've reviewed the legal standing of the code as well as the code itself for problems?
To precisely the extent that a vector is an array, we have also that a tensor is a multidimensional array. A multidimensional array-of-scalars type is precisely the tensor product of the appropriate one-dimensional array-of-scalars types, in the standard math sense of "tensor product": linear maps out of the former are in natural correspondence with multilinear maps out of the latter.

The only things I see to complain about are that vector spaces don't have to come with a choice of ordered finite basis and that arrays don't have to be of scalars from a field. But if you're already happy with the conflation of "vector" and "array", nothing new is happening in then speaking of multidimensional arrays as "tensors"; it's just continuing the same conflation.

> Walking a tree doesn't seem like that much of a performance penality...

It really is. At the level of a language interpreter, cycles count and things like cache misses become important. Bytecode keeps the instructions densely-packed in memory and the dispatching code fairly densely packed in memory too.

With a tree-walker, you are dereferencing pointers, skipping around in memory, and blowing the cache frequently. If you're using the Visitor or Interpreter pattern, you have the overhead of looking up the vtable, finding the method pointer, and invoking it. There's the overhead of the function call itself too -- saving and restoring registers, etc. It all adds up quickly.

Don't forget that clients always get the lastest updated version of the app. I mean, I remember that everytime you decide to change something on the API, things go really bad because of the old versions and people just give you negative feedback because they didn't update the app. You have to be extremely cautious.

The most effective days of management seem to involve so much compromise that everyone is frustrated with me. It’s got not no real hit for solving problems. Also it is all fuzzy and human. A lot of devs that are pure engineers find management maddening. Something that helps me is writing daily. Keeping personal strike lists and logs. This is private and in a journal, NOT jira or whatever. I track my daily emotional state and have a matrix for disappointment, frustration, anger, and stress. 0-4 also noting if its targeted at a specific person. This helps me evaluate why so I can find a positive solution and not be irrationally shitty/counterproductive. I review the last 3 days every morning and go over the previous month on the first. This helps keep me positive and helped me see that when the real work is being done it often feels like failure. My year review of logs was actually full of positive surprises.

Only if they take a rake. There is nothing illegal about playing poker for money privately with friends. However, if there is a fee paid to the house, especially in the form of rake for tournaments or hands in ring games, then you are now breaking the law, if you are transacting in USD in the US.
