I thought the child-birth classes we did were amazingly helpful for a number of reasons:

* You become familiar with the terms (procedures, drugs, etc) so that during delivery they don't sound scary and unknown.

* We met other people in our relative neighborhood at the same stage. We're still friends with many and it was a HUGE support network before and after our children were born. I think this is especially helpful with a first kid.

That aside, I recommend 'The Expectant Father' for dads as a decent book that I found helpful.

Final preparation tip: Lie about the 'due date' to everyone. Add an extra 2 weeks. It helps getting those annoying calls so close to delivery date. (Like if you don't return someones call in 5 minutes they assume you're in labor...) It gets annoying and fast.

And for after the baby is born: Just remember that you will get your 'sleep' back one day. It will be worth it. I have such a HUGE appreciate for un-interrupted stretches of sleep now. Hang in there :)
My wife and I worked out a deal so we didn't have to do this. She was pumping so either of us could do a feeding.

I would take the feeding around 1am so she could pump then. Then I would go to sleep. She would pump and feed overnight. I'd wake up around 7 or 8, and then do the next few feedings while she slept till around noon, when she'd get up to eat and pump. Then she'd take a nap at some point with the baby midday so she could get her hours in, albeit split up. We did this through the entire paternity leave.

By the time I went back to work I was able to get about six hours a night after doing the late night and early morning feedings.
Precisely that
About time we start that conversation.

I just went through some ugly dental work. I would rate post op pain high, 8, maybe 9.

Doubling up on tylenol and advil was pretty miserable.

The thing is, only a day or two, maybe few is ugly. After that, it becomes tolerable.

Sure would have been nice to deal with that pain like an adult, rather than suffer politics.
Here's the advice I gave my brother when he first became a father.

On the contrary, I feel that the stylistic [and sometimes semantic] separation of primitive and boxed types in languages (e.g., `byte` VS `Byte` in Java) improves the developer experience, in that I can very quickly dissect the type of value that I’m dealing with when reading the code.
I dunno, I think Maps has gotten progressively worse in most ways over the past decade (with a particularly precipitous drop after whatever refactor they released in 2014 or so.

Google maps is

* Much, much slower

* Harder to read/understand, especially street names

* Much worse text parsing e.g. I can no longer loosely type something like "10th and grove to Jim's Hardware" and get directions. In fact most of the time I can't even type in a major intersection and have them understand

* Obnoxiously spammy: they push new "features" on me all the time that I don't want to use (including a recent popup mid-directions when I turned on location tracking because I was lost on a busy, complicated highway intersection, which felt dangerous), and the phone version asks me to turn on location tracking EVERY SINGLE TIME I OPEN THE APP

* Addresses seem to be getting replaced by some weird google maps-designed address format in Colombia (maybe other countries?) that are useless to humans

Even if a little can be explained by a desire to control the world, I think most is just the traditional corporate rot that happens to any successful company.

> I just finished up an introductory biology lecture series, and this suddenly makes less sense to me than it did before.

The immune system is one of the most complicated and wonderful pieces of biology. It's also scary in the ways that it can malfunction and the challenges it presents to modern medicine.

> What is it about the foreign cells that is identified as foreign by the host cells?

The MHC system is a major determinant of histocompatibility.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_histocompatibility_compl...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_leukocyte_antigen

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histocompatibility

MHC is an adaptive immune function used to detect foreign antigen that was evolved as a means to combat intracellular pathogens. This cell-surface machinery collects and presents foreign antigens from inside the cell at the cell surface for discovery by immune cells that come into contact. If something "foreign" is found on the MHC, the immune system targets the cell for deletion and upregulates the immune system for further attack.

The genes that code the MHC proteins vary widely between individuals. This can be beneficial as viruses struggle to evolve in a way that evades all MHCs in a population.

Unfortunately, the MHC proteins are themselves a highly reactive antigen that triggers the immune system. Luckily, the body learns during a process called "negative selection" to cull any immune cell receptors that recognize your own MHCs:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thymus (search "negative selection").

If any of your own T-cells match your own MHC, they're killed. Unfortunately, your body doesn't know the shape of MHC proteins from donor tissue and can't learn to kill any TCRs that match. And these proteins are incredibly, incredibly polymorphic:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_leukocyte_antigen

Search "variability", then multiply the numbers -- you're not going to find an exact match for you anywhere, unless you have an identical twin. This is why donor databases exist. If you can find a match for one of the variants, it reduces the product of these multiples.

It's very hard to find a tissue match.

When you transplant foreign tissue, it's an antigen.

Fun fact: did you know your immune system genes aren't at rest and are actually evolving right now? Your immune cells run stochastic hill climbing. It's wild. Check out somatic recombination:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V(D)J_recombination

The immune system is incredibly complicated.
We can’t build things, which is why our infrastructure is shit pretty much across the board. My daughter’s school bought a failing golf course and turned it into athletic fields for students. It’s taken 8 years since the school first purchased the property to build a baseball field, a track, and some tennis courts. There was three separate law suits and it took almost 7 years just to start construction.

Public projects are even worse because of a law called NEPA. The law requires a detailed environmental study of pretty much every significant project, including new rail projects. Just putting together the environmental impact statement can take years. The median is 3.6 years and a quarter of projects take more than 6 years: https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/CEQ-EI.... Because these are all administrative decisions, there are numerous opportunities to file lawsuits, take appeals, etc., over pretty much any decision made in an EIS.

Any significant transit project can expect to spend at least a decade in planning, permitting, and litigation, with litigation continuing through construction. The environmental and administrative laws are so broadly worded, pretty much anyone can hold up a project for years using various pretextual reasons (water runoff, wetland management, threatened species, traffic management, etc.).

Contrast how France does things. In France, the government is a single organ—local governments are mere administrative subdivisions of the national government. Decisions get made, and whatever environmental review is needed is done, and once that is done, the legislature passes a law that preempts any other law, allowing the project to proceed without further legal challenges.

Also, I think Europeans for the most part aren’t antisocial tools. People in Chicago sued Ronald McDonald House Charities to stop building of housing for families of cancer patients being treated at Northwestern Hospital.

Also, no nicotine product is (safe). There is no safe amount. In my opinion, we should just work towards a smoke-free future.

A juul vaporizer does last longer than a lighter, but at a significantly higher cost. Lighters cost a buck or two and last for hundreds and hundreds of cigarettes. The juul vaporizer is also just as easy to misplace/lose as a lighter. As a former CA teen, lighters were absolutely trivial to get—and far less hassle than getting a juul vaporizer. Hell, you can find matches pretty damn easily, too.

Edit: Assuming the average teenager has limited funds, a lighter and pack of cigarettes is far cheaper than a juul vaporizer and pack of pods. Even once you have the juul, the pods are still more expensive than buying a new lighter and cigarettes in many areas.

What happens when we train them on an incredibly wide set of randomly-sampled data, which should show no built-in bias, and uncomfortable conclusions emerge? Do we censor the AI, castigate someone else in the chain for the problem, or just deal with reality as it presents itself?
I think the zero sum nature is what trips up most people about state finance.

Ultimately, what is and isn't possible for a state to do stems from the vagaries of what all other states are currently doing.

It's somewhat rooted in economic output, but there are a lot of other independent variables in the pot.
In this great alternative universe people would also not misunderstand "illegal immigration" to mean all immigrants or extremist to mean all Muslims. It's common English. Is it not odd that when people talk about deporting all the illegal immigrants, some think that implies all immigrants? When there was an executive order to ban all extremists from traveling, even judges interpreted it as a Muslim ban and they are usually pretty good with the English language.

When people see explicitly hostility they interpret it as hostility. That is common English.
Unconscious Bias training tries do teach that, but I've always found the framing and delivery to be counter-productive.

They give everyone tests which reveal that primitive part of your brain. Essentially they want to shock you by forcing you to fail. It is almost like they are trying to shame people, which is a terrible way to teach.
Kids need A LOT of sleep; more than you think. I would say that 80% of the time you see a kid crying or throwing a tantrum, it’s a combo of not having enough sleep and not having the emotional toolkit or communication skills to express their needs. My single recommendation is to get your child on a sleep schedule and stick with it aggressively.

Check out the book: Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child by Weissbluth.

BTW, I noticed my older daughter getting super cranky when using iPads/phones when she was about 2.5, so we stopped giving them to her and her mood vastly improved as a baseline. You’ll have to make your own decisions about tech and kids, but just keep that in mind. My kids now will happily go on a 12 hr car ride without ever asking for an iPad, etc. YMMV.
We actually use something like the above. But thats not sufficient since we cannot set up the PAM session fully if $HOME is not accessible because we can't acquire a password for it...
I've really liked that, too. Its approach to mutability is also very nice.

The combined result may not be nearly as principled as the Haskell way of doing controlled mutability with double-checking from the compiler that you aren't breaking your own rules, but it's a nice pragmatic compromise that's easy to understand without having to rewire the way you think about programming.

There is a photo of the top of the Graf Zeppelin, sister ship of the Hindenburg, being repaired mid-flight[1], so the roof was accessible from inside (through the scaffolding of the interior gas bag area, rather than neatly for passengers), provided quite a large platform, and claimed to be stable in-flight. The gondola had promenade / viewing areas with "large windows which could be opened in flight" visible in the photos in [2], to address concerns about air pressure or temperature.

I don't know if they ever did put deckchairs on top but had they thought of it and wanted to do it, it might have worked out ok. (View was likely better inside, looking down).

If you live near a hospital that offers classes, go to all of them. If you've never handled a baby before, they have pretend babies that you can handle and change diapers. If the hospital doesn't, check out the local public health department as they will likely know who offers classes.

If your baby is to be breastfed, then check out Le Leche League for information on how all that works including pumping. The breastfeeding parent will take on a lot of work to produce and sometimes express milk, so work out a schedule where you can help out with the non-feeding aspects. (Also most insurances cover one pump and some cover supplies throughout the year.)

Procure or make freezer meals. If you can get through the first 4-6 weeks without really doing the whole food production, you'll be okay.

Get some books: the Expectant Father is good for non-birthing parents. What to expect when you are expecting is a really good book to have on hand for all potential scenarios.

Babies change a lot in the first year, so whatever you think is hard about that moment.... just remember it is just for a moment and will eventually pass. We have a walking talking toddler... and I miss her potato days when I could cuddle her and stare into her eyes without her sassing me about not reading her book fast enough. And potato days were sooo hard since I got no sleep with a 90 minute breastfeeding schedule (baby set it, not me).

The Man Who Would Kill Horseracing
Some feedback:

- I think the shadows around the boxes are a bit too much. I'd pull those in a bit.

- I'm skeptical of the links going to Amazon. Are they affiliate links? What about other bookstores?

- I like the "stacks" idea, which I assume is a curated list of books to read.

- It would be nice if there was a discovery mechanism where I can enter books I like, and it'll give me other options that I might like.

Congrats on the launch!

That's a complaint from someone who doesn't understand the function of HR. HR isn't there to protect the employee. They are there to protect the company while giving the impression they are there for the employees. Sometimes that means they protect both at the same time. It always means they operate in the company's interests, sometimes to the detriment of an employee or employees.

A lot of what I hear about google sounds like what you get when you let the inmates run the asylum. For example, allowing political discussions on company forums or letting employees get the impression they have some social responsibility or a responsibility to take a position is just a recipe for disaster. What you end up with is conflict and immaturity in the workplace because politics and career have combined to become part of their identity. That's toxic in the type of organization that has historically been disconnected from politics and social causes. It's no surprise this kind of stuff is going on and people are chalking it up to retaliation for this, that or the other thing. In normal companies, people get moved around, demoted or ignored all the time and they don't always blame it on retaliation for political beliefs or for reporting abuse. They blame it on some asshole manager or decide the company isn't for them and they move on. Sounds like google needs a higher degree of professionalism.

Why would a renowned linguist be a credible source of geopolitics? Especially when his wikipedia article starts off the section on political views by calling him a "dissident"?

Serverless isn't even really much of a new thing, there have always been providers that hid the underlying aspects of running a web site on the internet.

No matter what your views on immigratiom policy are otherwise, I don't see how that's a great reason for preserving the present organization.

If you view the present legality as correct, it's a reason to have the enforcement function in a competent and effective organization that is broadly respected by the public, but that doesn't sound like ICE.
