Have my first child, now 7 months old. If I could only say one thing it's make sure to have a trusting & productive relationship with your partner. Problems or going to come up every day and solving for them is a function of how well you two collaborate.

I had the benefit of co-founding a startup with my partner so we had already cut our teeth on this. A child is like a type of startup. Identifying and managing problems/complexity is a daily activity. If you have a good working relationship there than you can have a blast being parents together.
I wondered if this was part of the great extraterrestrial life filter: that there were so many "only in this window" chances that a civilization gets.

E.g. how easy would it be for us to bootstrap back to space capabilities after a catastrophic war wiped out a large portion of world economic capability?
The AI isn't biased, the curaters were.

The people who curated the first training set used subjective words like 'attractive' to tag the images which means the AI tagged all images it deemed 'attractive' to the people who made the training set. as this is a very biased and homogenous group it means the AI turned out biased. Maybe if they randomly sampled millions of people from all countries in order to create the training data then they could effectively train an AI to guess what YOU might find attractive. However even then I somehow doubt it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We dont consiously know the rules of what we are attracted to, nor does an AI have secret information if you just supplied it with enough words and images.

If they'd stuck with simple classifications like 'black' 'white' 'man' 'woman' then they would have less subjective judgement values about the original training set.
I had my first child several days ago. I am half asleep typing this. This isn't preparation as much as it is a warning. Here's what I think I have learned so far and what I didn't know:

1. The lactation specialists at the hospital can be rude, aggressive, and pushy. Or at least come off that way when you're pissed and desperate to get your child some food. We have ran into many issues breastfeeding and the lactation specialists (3 at the hospital during our stay) seemed to be very against using any kind of aids to feed. Despite what they say, don't be afraid to try nipple shields, bottles, and, gasp, formula as a supplement or replacement. Your kid has to eat.

2. Every family situation is different, but if you and your partner can you should work in shifts. Particularly if you are breastfeeding and ESPECIALLY if you are pumping, the parent doing that work is not going to sleep more than 2 hours at a time the first few days. If that. Ideally, partners shirts be up as little as possible at the same time so everyone has a chance to sleep.

3. Every minute matters when you're on a baby's schedule. It's the difference between sleeping or not.

4. Have quick, filling things available to eat. I had to choose between sleeping and eating a lot and it sucked.

5. Who knows if any of this will be true for your baby or birthing expert. Everyone is different. Some doctors or nurses don't get this. They suck. Many do and they are great.

6. We took a birthing class and it seemed great at the time, and I'm sure it's helped, but man oh man is the real thing different.

7. Learn to swaddle.

8. Learn to enjoy both the quiet and the chaotic moments. Living is hard, and I've done it for a while. Your baby hasn't and is learning.
That's why I multiplied by 3.
The previous, "trashcan" Mac Pro was apparently also assembled in the US, and Apple wanted you to know it: https://youtu.be/IbWOQWw1wkM?t=110 . I assume that keeping the Mac Pro in the US is primarily a political/public-image decision (or indeed a public-spirited one), and maybe secondarily a way to maintain some expertise in manufacturing in the US, just in case.

BTW, the last time that Apple manufactured primarily or exclusively in the US was probably a long time ago. Back in the beige-case era it did a lot of assembly in places like Ireland.
Why would the economic system be at fault here? Why is the economic system to "blame"? What alternatives do you have in mind, and how do they compare to capitalism?
The downside is that if you know Facebook can and will do this to any competitive threat, you just won't bother to start your company in the first place.
> Doesn't really sound like this is actually about safety.

Wow, what an ignorant statement. I get a lot of people like to drive without following the rules and think there should be no consequences. Even though driving a car is usually the most dangerous thing you will do today.
Do not think you can prepare:)

I have two - 5 and 2. We did these birth preparation courses that are offered here in the hospital. It was good to get a glimpse of what follows. However, it is theory that works until reality hits hard. It helped to feel prepared for the first kid. Would recommend if there is something like this where you live.

My personal experience:
The first half year is mostly ground stuff. Eat, shit, sleep, fresh air, contact, ... Make a checklist (in the brain) ... Crying means always one of the ground stuff is missing.
Do not buy stuff until you need it.
Follow your instincts.
Do not hesitate to ask a Doc if you are not sure. No Doc will send you away.

Wish you all the best!

I had an experience as a teenager as well and "must produce fire" wasn't a meaningful obstacle. Of course your mileage may vary but lighters (and if not that, then matches certainly) were and are commonly found in households, ready to go missing.

And they last such a long time that frequency of replacement just does not matter compared to the cost and frequency of either cigarettes or vaping consumables.
I was twenty-one. I didn't intend to have children until my late twenties.

I was married and we intended to have kids, someday. But my method of birth control failed and I was unexpectedly pregnant.

I spent my pregnancy trying to figure out how I would talk to my child about their origin story. I didn't want them to feel unwanted or something.

I eventually realized they weren't unwanted. They were just unexpectedly early.

I have read that the final product when you are done raising your children isn't the child. It's you.

It's a wonderful opportunity to clarify for yourself who you desire to be and what personal baggage you would like to set down and leave behind instead of passing it down and saddling your children with it.
only advice to both parents: take as much time out of work as you can.

Kids grow quickly, and they feel stress. It’s good for you and your kids that you have a lot of time for them and for yourselves.
My question is how has the second hand market not killed it already?
Excited by the constant development of Crystal. Here is hoping that the various frameworks and shards will keep pace.
There are so many articles, books and what not out there on the subject. The best thing I did was not read any of it. Many first time parents have a consistent feeling of ‘doing it all wrong’. The more you read, the more you’ll just feed that emotion. Best thing, IMHO, is to just approach it like the child itself: figure it out as you go and enjoy every micro second of it. Be in the moment.
Those are valid questions when evaluating an unknown technology. How could anyone consider this trolling? Not to digress but have we become too sensitive?
Ok my wording was slightly off. What I was trying to say is, just because a crawl doesn't come from a Google IP block doesn't mean its not a legit crawl from someone outside of Google.
Looks more like an Amazon wishlist alternative (which is a feature I've used extensively for years). Having a direct integration with Amazon via a chrome extension would be nice. Assuming there were some other features to make it worth switching (ie, a far nicer UX/design).

I previously worked on a 'smart' Goodreads alternative that used NLP to data mine social media, (and eventually) Amazon, the press, and your own email for book names which provided unique recommendations and popularity analytics. But it never really took off as a product. It was more of a demo of the AI tech underneath. https://www.producthunt.com/posts/bookvibe

My recommendation is to find some niches and focus on them content-wise. There's plenty of thriving mini book communities (scifi, romance, pop-sci Malcolm Gladwell stuff, etc).
Google has mostly focused on hiring more diverse candidates, and investing in bootcamp type projects. These initiatives help Google by increasing the pool of workers from which they hire, so they can look progressive while saving money.

Now, actually fighting misogyny and racism within the company has the potential to affect their bottom line, because it involves holding people in power accountable. If they have a staff engineer or VP who's accused of sexual assault, firing him or putting him on leave could impact productivity.
You can get beef suet quite cheaply at a butcher; I think I paid $2/lb or less. This is easily rendered into beautiful white tallow, which in turn makes a lovely soap. You can mix in some olive or coconut oil if you like, but there's no technical reason you can't use pure animal fat to make soap.

It may reduce your potential customers a bit, especially at a particularly crunchy farmer's market, but the soap will be fine :)
To me Nim is a faster python that prevents typos. It can also compile to javascript.

I used it where I would use python - backend of web apps. But now instead running a cluster of servers I can just run 1 because nim is fast.

I also used to write frontend in CoffeeScript, but switched to nim because I can share code between backend and frontend. I don't have typos. I don't inherit any JS or OOP legacy like TypeScript.
> There are other stories where someone claims something that can't be proven and that was either not witnessed, or must have been denied by everyone. Yeah it sucks if everyone on your team is protecting a douche, but... is HR supposed to intervene and fire someone because only one person claims something happened?

That's the gist of the #believeallwomen movement. No due process or innocent until proven guilty, just one accusation from a person with an identity that has more "oppression" points than your own identity and it is off to the guillotine with you.

I do not believe this is the correct way for society to function and thrive. It will self-select for sub-optimal or even outright dystopian outcomes. I wonder how SV tech companies that encourage and hire people with these viewpoints will fare once the money hose runs out?
I strongly recommend the book The Nurture Assumption by Judith Harris. It has done more to shape my mindset about being a parent than anything else I have read. You could also wait a few years to read it, as it is more relevant once your child is old enough to start having social interactions outside the home.

Honestly, the changes in my marriage were much more difficult to handle than actually being a parent. You and your spouse (assuming you are married) will change as individuals once you become parents, and issues that never came up before may suddenly feel like relationship deal-breakers. I have no advice to offer because frankly I didn’t handle it well—just a word of caution.
There are a ton of studies correlating fibro with gut bacteria.

People with chronic pain have different levels of certain gut bacteria. One study claims to have cured fibro through FMT. That study has 1 subject... lol.

I am almost certain the cure for some chronic pain is in bacteria. It's cool hearing what you say about Mitochondria though.
If the suit survives a motion to dismiss, all the time.
Because depending on the use case you don't want to run a 2nd server. For example, I work on some FOSS that lets users self host. The intention is for minimally experienced users to self host, as well as host on small laptops/etc. For obvious reasons, spinning up a full database has issues - requiring them to install Docker or etc is not feasible.

With that said, knowing how DB concurrency behaves in inherently concurrent applications (anything HTTP facing, for example) seems vital. If it needs to be not concurrent, it's paramount to know that.

To be clear, knowing how and when the concurrency breaks down does not mean advocating for it. Merely that if concurrency wasn't supported, you may need to write your applications differently to properly lock the non-threadsafe behavior.
Possibly: recognise a union.
Dover (YC S19) is hiring full-stack engineers to build the future of recruiting
Dover (https://dover.io) is building the first truly modern recruiting agency. We help some of the fastest growing companies hire the best talent for their open roles.

Recruiting is a $50B industry in the US, all the largest agencies still have incredibly manual processes. Recruiters spend countless hours on administrative work, so they have less time to do what they do best: pitch and close candidates.

We've built a better way. Our advanced ML-powered matching software finds the perfect candidates for a particular role, and our NLP outreach system reaches out to those candidates in a highly personalized way. We're automating the entire recruiting stack, from sourcing to scheduling.

Engineering at Dover

The Dover engineering team is small but incredibly effective. We value productivity over face-time, action over inaction, and focus over feature creep.

As one of our first few engineers, you'll have a massive level of ownership over our engineering culture, end-to-end ownership over the systems that you build, and influence on product direction.

At the core of what we're building is a simple question—"is person X a good fit for job Y"—but doing this well is challenging, requiring a combination of large-scale data scraping, aggregation and processing. We pride ourselves automating things nobody thought possible.

Our Stack

We primarily code in Python, with some occasional Javascript. We leverage Kubernetes heavily for our orchestration and deployment. We also make extensive use of Google Cloud, Docker, Postgres, Mongo, and ElasticSearch within our infrastructure.

You

You're a full-stack or backend engineer with 3+ years of software experience at one or more companies with a strong engineering culture. You're ready to be an individual contributor, design and build sophisticated systems quickly, and work in a fast-paced environment.

Interested?

Yes, we do. Every single car should be tracked. 40,000 people are killed every year due to car drivers, we should start taking this seriously.
Yeah, if people want to put all the pressure on me to decide which ads are reasonable then I'm just going to block all ads and move on.
Dividing opinion because of "people questioning whether a mapping system which public services are increasingly relying on, should be in the hands of a technology firm".

That's an interesting problem, despite the worthless headline as so commonly with BBC.
So what was the point of giving them the answers, then?
There is a quite rational position in determining that there is some point of no return at which something -- an organisation, company, government department, movement -- goes past the point of return or acceptance, and becomes dead to you.

You'll want to be careful in applying that too liberally, but there are places where it applies.

You've been trying to argue that point throughout this thread for "the mob" itself.
>It's the inscription on the Statue of Liberty. The US decided, long ago

The US absolutely never decided that, and certainly not at that time. That inscription was put there by wealthy New York liberals, and it certainly did not reflect the feelings of the majority of the people at the time. In fact in the decades that followed, the people of the United States instituted strong immigration restrictions, which by the way were specifically designed until 1965 so that they would not alter the national origin demographics of the country, so the American people at the time obviously did not want tens of millions of people from poor third world countries pouring in.

>Besides that, we've been meddling in the affairs of Central and South America for decades with mostly-disastrous effect on their economies and political systems.

Their ancestors before them went to war against other groups and took their land and resources. Something tells me they didn't feel particularly bad about it.
Fully agree— routine is important starting around 4-6 months. As is often said, well rested babies sleep better.

I also recommend “Happiest Baby on The Block” by Harvey Karp. Read one or two of these types of books but don’t go overboard.
Most soaps use tallow (beef fat) as it's the cheapest and most plentiful fat, due to the beef industry making a lot of it. But vegetable oil-based is the more "attractive" soap; it's generally modified to be softer on the skin and causes less harsh reactions than tallow, and of course there's vegan soap.
Anonymity works great until you inspire someone with the time and means to make it their hobby to inform others about your existence.

Holding someone "hostage" like that, can be a pretty stressful event for anybody. You put some claustrophobic people into that situation and we've escalated things to traumatized. A traumatized person could easily blow this up into vendetta.
This isn't really due to MSBuild, as the C# compiler has that limitation already. MSBuild just calls it. Basically a single assembly has to be written in the same language. You could probably get something similar with multiple assemblies and ILMerge.

At first blush, it's easy to describe Nim as C-flavored Python, but I'm not sure that quite captures it. The syntax is similar, but that's about where the similarities end - Python is deeply, fundamentally a dynamic language, and Nim one of the more firmly statically typed non-functional languages out there.

You could also describe it as being competitive with Rust, but with more compromises for the sake of developer ergonomics. Garbage collection, for example.

For my part, I'm finding it attractive as a potential Java-killer. It isn't write-once-run-everywhere, but, now that x86 and Linux have eaten the world, that's not quite such a compelling feature anymore. And Nim smooths things over a bit by making cross compiling dead easy. In return, I get better type safety, better performance, a much better C FFI, and less verbose, easier-to-understand code.
I like that book, too. There were two others that we thought were helpful:

"The Baby Owner's Manual: Operating Instructions, Trouble-Shooting Tips, and Advice on First-Year Maintenance" which is just an overall guide to everyday things you have to do (and it's pretty funny.)

"Precious Little Sleep" on improving our sleep situation.
> People prioritize efficiency over safety all the time.

This is true, if they didn't we wouldn't have cars in the first place. 40,000 people are killed by drivers every year, that is more than gun deaths.
you still haven't explained "turbulence envy".

or are you saying economists understand turbulence better than physicists?
Automatic ads might be x10 cheaper, but x1000 less effective. Who knows your audience best, you or the automatic algorithms ? And automatic ads are easier to block, game and cheat.
The nicotine inhalation flux would be dependant on the coil used and amount of current, maybe they reduced the heating rate to reduce amount of filler in liquid required.
We did a local "parenting course" (changing diapers, putting on clothes on a new-born, etc.). Its main purpose in fact was to get us to calm down and listen to the baby instead of all the advice.

And that's what I want to say to you: Forget about all the things people tell you. Most certainly, it won't apply to your kid. Just stay calm, you're in charge, the kid will need you calm, everything is new to him/her as well. It's OK to be overwhelmed. Be authentic, slow down, and you'll get through it together, just stay calm.

These small helpless creatures are significantly more empathic and sensible than we imagine. Try to listen. Some parents know the difference in cries for "hunger", "poop", "sleep" after days, some not even after weeks.

Also, if the baby is unhappy: Try "hunger", "poop", "sleep" in that order. That will be the only things they care about for the first few weeks. Warmth/cool is your business anyway, they can't feel it the way we do. Otherwise it just needs you to be there and keep him/her safe.

And don't overstimulate. They were in a bathtub for the first 9 months. Give them time, shut off most noises and other stimuli. Put your smartphones away and on vibrate, pause netflix, there is no point in watching TV anyway, dim the lights, don't expose them to noisy baby-toys etc.

You'll be fine.
I admin a Toyota dealership currently that still uses a very terminal looking ERP with dot matrix OkiData printers. It's amazing how quickly everyone zips around in it without a mouse. I believe it's called Reynolds and Reynolds auto retailing. Does everything a full service dealership needs, from buying used cars to selling parts and body work.
> and it's a world without cars at all.

And a wonderful world that would be.
Many, many thousands of years, I believe.

If something pulled the plug on our economy, all the technology we have today would disappear in few years to decades. Devices wearing out with no way of repairing them or producing new ones. We'd regress to medieval times, because that would be the most advanced things available energy sources would support.

The industrial revolution happened because we had easy access to high-density energy source in the form of coal. Maybe, given enough time, some survivors would figure out how to do a new industrial revolution without it, though I'm not having high hopes. So whatever is left of humanity would have to wait until the Earth recycles enough living matter to create new deposits of high-energy something.

Mocking Sentry.io in Jest and Gatsby.js
Prepare? That's adorable. Everything you think you know about parenting will be routinely debunked (by your child) every six months for the rest of your adult life.

The good news is if you remain humble and work on managing your emotions everything will turn out fine.

When in doubt just make sure they know they are loved.
