I have two kids (roughly 3 years apart), though compared to other parents, mine slept pretty well very early on.

I had to scale back on hobbies, but haven't given them up.

I wrote two books while I had small children at home, mostly while they slept and in the subway during commutes. I paused doing my favorite sport (table tennis) for about two years, and resumed afterwards.

It was harder for my wife, who breast fed (and my younger child wouldn't accept anything else). She had a harder time leaving the house on her own.

Wisdom is hard to come by from a sample size of one. I'd just recommend to reserve one evening a week for things you used to like to do, and do even if you don't feel it in the moment. Best to leave the house for it.

That's entirely the case. Apple has to weigh the cost of maintaining compatibility against the value it brings.

And it's hard to see how if the developer can't make a business case for updating their software that Apple can make a business case for maintaining compatibility.

That's the business reality of Apple's primarily consumer market: consumers are generally willing to let old software go and buy new stuff.

Microsoft is simply in a different market: they have many large enterprise customers who are willing to pay top dollar for extensive backwards compatibility.

Hi, I one of the creators. From GitHub page:
R Suite an R package which together with R Suite CLI tool enables you to design deployment workflow that fits you and makes R your primary data science platform. It has beed developed by WLOG Solutions company to make their development and deployment data science process robust.

R Suite gives answers to the following challenges for any R based software and data science solution:

- Isolated and reproducible projects with controlled dependencies and configuration.

- Separation of business, infrastructural and domain logic.

- Package based solution development.

- Management of custom CRAN-alike repositories.

- Automation of deployment package preparation.

- Flawless integration with Docker.

- Development process integrated with version control system (currently git and svn).

- Working in internetless environments.
Did anyone figure out why this happened? I wonder if this would feel similar to when you sit awkwardly and your leg goes numb - it kind of feels like you're just walking on your bone. Trying to walk with a leg that's 'asleep' is quite a challenge.
Just to point out, all the technology needed to do something better is already worked out. We just need social/political will (or whatever) to fully implement it. We have e.g. biodegradable or reusable plastic, etc., and could make all these items in a sustainable way.

The bigger challenge is converting our systems. E.g. Here in San Francisco our water comes from Hetch Hetchy about 200 miles away. There is very little public awareness (yet) that this is the kind of thing that will have to change if we're going to live in harmony with Nature.

I've been toying with the idea of trying to create a new town somewhere along holistic lines but personally I'm a recluse and I don't actually want to deal with the social stuff that would entail.

So instead, I'm building robots that can arrange and glue small pieces of material together to create larger laminated/aggregated building material. (Image search "timbrel vault"[1] and imagine little spidery machines making those out of irregular bits of {wood,metal,plastic,etc} placed and aligned with CV+ML. Or consider the agglutinated shells of certain amoebae[2].)

I imagine a sort of distributed inside-out factory that "eats" landfill and "poops" new resources.

Many years ago, when I used to play Minecraft, the common wisdom was simply to get as much memory as possible, so that the GC runs less frequently. With the debug overlay you could see how the game kept allocating at about a rate of 300-500 MB/s until the JVM GC was triggered, which created a noticeable lag in the game. I used to know a few MC server admins, and I was surprised just how massive the resource consumption of the game was. One server I usually played on ran on multiple machines. Specs were I believe around 128 GB memory, 32 cores, 16 or so dedicated to GC...

Popular news stories aren't representative of the real world. There's no sense trying to imagine some cohesive picture of the world from them. It's like somebody discovering a mutant shark with two heads and saying there's less fish in the ocean because sharks have too many heads and are eating more than their fair share!
A few things helped me
- part time child care/day care
- putting grandparents to work, especially the first few months
- wife cut her work hours
- lots of YouTube as background distraction. I haven't seen any ill effects from screen time.. in fact he actually knows his colors, alphabet and numbers and he's only 18 months
- get as much done during naptimes as you can
It slowly gets better... Definitely a hit on productivity but less wasted time. I'm able to get at least 2-3 3h blocks of time a week to work on projects.
It's funny to think that I do books translations so others in my country (or for those that know my language) can read them, most of them pirated books. I sometimes ask my self how much would I earn if publishers would pay me for that work.

Anyway, it feels good to know that someone got his(her) exams fine, school homework done or just a pleasant read because some of my work. This is my contribution to the humanity. The invisible spark of information freedom.
Interesting proposition, something I haven't read anyone put forward before.

But Apple Scaling their current High Performance ARM design using HPC Node and higher Clock speed is likely much easier than doing a high performance x86 design.

Even Amazon decided to use ARM for their Server platform, to me I think ARM has won the game.
I find I spend most of my time debugging R, which is astoundingly difficult since it doesn’t report line numbers on errors. Most of my code is in C++, so that helps, albeit it’s still overly complicated to start up R in gdb. Amazingly Julia isn’t much better when it comes to error reporting either.
I was implying the voice implementation on the backend should natively support audio streaming to the web. Its nothing new and Discord does it. Hacking it to work is not going to be perfect.
Lots of so-called "non-profits" do not increase social welfare in any meaningful way. Even many IRS-approved "charities" are complete scams.

You use a factory when you have code that needs to create something but shouldn't determine the details of their creation. If you want to create enemies from multiple places (seems common) you don't want to have to refactor every place when you change something about the creation or pooling.
Fine with that, as long as the "hear about it" part doesn't involve stereotyping all men (and specifically men) as potential predators.[1] Because that sort of misdirected moral panic can only make things even worse.

It does make it a lot easier to hide implementation details down the road, for instance if you start using object pooling.
It's sickening that schools sign agreements that basically let third parties collect data on students... I'm guessing there's a loophole somewhere where that date can be used after they turn 18...

When I went back to school for my Master's degree, I had the highest confidentially settings I could set. If I wanted to ask questions on a homework or project, the school required I gave my name, email, and course information, along with the content of my post to Piazza.

The argument and agreement was that they can't use my information unless I also am a member on their website outside the context of Piazza... Funny enough, I used LinkedIn... So since I want to use LinkedIn, my school information privacy is violated.

I imagine there's a similar goal with high school students. As soon as they turn 18 and claim that on LinkedIn, they can go back and mine their high school and middle school data.
The late, great Pieter Hintjens touches on this point in his book "The Psychopath Code" [1].

Psychopathy seems to exist along a spectrum -- it's present in all of us to varying degrees, and may not become "activated" for most people, in most situations.

There is a good argument that this cat-and-mouse game has been going on for as long as "freeloading" has been going on, which is to say it is probably older than humanity.

One of the reasons I'm never having kids is seeing just this pattern. For everyone I can recall right now, it lasts forever. They have more time later but the drive is gone. I've actually seen a few of people with a shared hobby and a toddler be like "kids won't stop me from doing X, in fact it's going to be better with kids to teach/inspire/...!", and then they disappear forever (up to 5 years so far). Or (skiing example, I don't ski in this case but the person as far as I know used to be good) in 10 years they tell you how it's nice to go to a ski resort, ride a couple of simple slopes and watch their kids ride then have a beer.
Same applies to intellectual hobbies like coding (again, from my anecdata).
Nothing wrong with that, just not my cup of tea.
Check out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope_(data_structure)

>> A rope, or cord, is a data structure composed of smaller strings that is used to efficiently store and manipulate a very long string. For example, a text editing program may use a rope to represent the text being edited, so that operations such as insertion, deletion, and random access can be done efficiently.
You have no reason to trust me, as a random person on the Internet, but for this sort of issue (IP+employment law), this is an ideal lawyer:

https://www.lawson-weitzen.com/attorney/bauer

He gave me terrific advice on a similar issue many years back, and I've gone to him a few times since. I've never retained him: our conversations were always about knowing how to interpret employment contracts, understanding options, and coming up with a negotiation strategy. After those consults, I could go it myself.

A good lawyer won't drag you into litigation. Good lawyers are rare, but the goal should always be to appear professional and to preserve relationships. If you have the rights to your code, you should be able to maintain them without burning relationships with your job. If you don't, you should hand the rights over without a fight (or negotiate for rights, but understanding you'll need to compromise something in return). In either case, you'd like to keep working there, you'd like good references later, and you'd like your employer to stay in your network.

You can't do that unless you understand your legal rights, and unless you have an idea of what tactics you should take.

A good lawyer will run you $300-$600 for a conversation (1-2 hours). A bad lawyer will escalate to a conflict, and run you tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Keep in mind law varies by jurisdiction. I don't know where OP is, so this recommendation may be moot. I've worked with many lawyers. I have no conflict-of-interest (my relationship with Bauer is limited to a small number of ~1-hour consults).
I am always right. Go sucks and Java wins. (just kidding)
As to whose culture and whose religion: it’s not clear to me the specifics matter so much as the existence of strong, broadly-shared social norms.

It definitely is nice when it is the case, but I don't think it's necessary for America's future to be successful. Certainly, for the first 150 years of its existence, the United States had very widely varying cultures and ways of life throughout. The Puritans in the north lived differently than the Scotch-Irish, who lived differently than Germans in the midwest, who lived differently than the pioneers in the west.

The difference between now and then though was that back then all those people were free to live as they felt like, and if they didn't like it, they could pick up and leave to form new communities, like for example the Mormons did when faced with hostility of people from their origins. Now, however, the mass media and powerful federal government is dictating the one and proper set of moral and social norms, and the correct way to live. People aren't free anymore to do what they want if the feds don't like it, even if their state doesn't have an issue with. Even the states expanded their reach into determining how people should live. This wouldn't have been a problem if, like you suggest, the enforced way of life was broadly shared, but it clearly isn't.
Having kids is not that expensive if you have at least a middle class income. You can still advance in your career while having a good work life balance.

Very few are in their ideal situation when having kids and yet they still have positive experiences being a parent.

Those without kids and new parents think they need to be perfect, but in reality, there is no difference between being perfect and being good enough when it comes to raising kids.
> Cars, in particular, are terrible for kids

They're the number 1 killer of children in the US. They are objectively terrible for kids.
I try to avoid telling unsolicited stories about my kids, but what else am I supposed to answer when people ask about my weekend? It's not that I'm mistaken about how exciting my kids are, it's that other people are mistaken about how exciting (for them) my weekend could possibly be!
It helps to make friends with other families and then hae pact of "one have all kids one day, other have all kids another day". Possibly with sleep overs.

Plus it will get better. The older they are, the easier it is. 2 and 4 is probably arouns low point.
Question: Does anyone decide to have children selflessly, for the explicit benefit of the unborn child?
If all of Bob's friends were disgusted by a video of a kitten being killed and thought the killer was a monster, but Bob was indifferent to the video, Bob might wonder if he was somehow more like the killer than any of his friends, and perhaps worry about that instead.
Thanks for finding typo. It is mature. We have used it to deploy R to big players. And use it for our consulting services everyday.

IIRC many DOS-era editors used an array/list of line buffers. Which to me seems like good middle ground solution. Certainly for the todays typical usecase when you care about performance, ie. editing >100MB text data file by hand, which is giant pain in emacs because the gap buffer simply is not good structure for doing few simple edits across three places 10MBs away (as you spend most of the time moving the gap around, while touching essentially all of the memory)
And walking everywhere will become the norm?
Pretty sure this is software.

Thirty+ years ago BASIC became a modern structured programming language, but so many people seem ignorant of this.
"The feeling is as hard to imagine as it is to describe. "It's as if you had a blindfold and somebody turned you several times, and then you're asked to go in a direction. The first few seconds, you don't know what direction you're going in." Pure disorientation."

I think might other ways to approximate this. Try lying completely still in bed at night in the dark for 10 minutes or so... after a while you might have trouble knowing exactly how your limbs are positioned (unless, of course, you make a mental note of just how they were positioned when you first laid down, or kept your attention focused on that all along, but if you think of something else, then ten minutes later think about the position of your limbs, you might have trouble). The key in the above exercise is not feeling anything in your limbs that could give you a cluse as to where they're positioned. This makes me wonder if we need some kind of periodic kinesthetic or viseo-kinesthetic calibration to keep our sense of proprioception functioning well.

Psychedelic drugs could also impact our sense of proprioception, as they can just about everything else about our experience. Being in a floation/isolation tank could likewise affect it.

Something else I wonder about lack of proprioception is at all related to the problem some people have of telling right from left.
Wow, just weeks ago I was dissing them for looking more like an internship/educational campus rather than an actual company developing real products. It’s one of those cases where I can happily and excitedly post a mea culpa. Doesn’t matter how competitive this is, it’s great that it exists.
I would like to add that a good project is to fix some bugs or add some feature to a project like, say, GNU Octave; especially for new developers. It really expands your mind as a new developer learning how to read code and understand where to make changes and add features.
> Baby. They keep calling her baby without an ounce of irony.

That is absolutely disgusting. It is heart wrenching and stomach turning to read this exchange of messages. I guess I knew this kind of stuff happens but to have it right in your face and read it; it is almost surreal that people are this depraved.
I'm going to need a bit more context for this one.
How big can file can a gap buffer be used on until it starts to slow down with current hardware?
Really nice. How do you ensure developers are in sync with design system ?
is proprioception really a sense or just the persistence of spatial info in our short term memory gathered from our senses of touch and sight? If I touch something several times with my eyes open then try it with my eyes closed, I can touch it again because I still remember where it was.

Is there some way a human can be said to propriocept things that they neither saw nor touched?
The HN title is inaccurate. The article itself actually says:

The draft does not provide for an explicit obligation to provide identifiers in plain text. When providing information, however, "all company-internal data sources must be taken into account".
Have you considered that suggesting people to make copies of copies of copies for the sake of a technical challenge instead of tackling real world problems (even as beginners) might fuel the endless waste of energy that programmers collectively pour into developing useless stuff for their own amusement? In a world where pro-bono software development is very scarce, is this what we want to teach to beginners?
I wonder how much the total resolution matters. With my 27” display I only ever look at part of the screen. (Perceived) pixel density is a big thing though.
There's a combinatorial naivety about anything as free form as internet. There will be whatever, good or bad, and everything in between.

About child cruelty, I can remember how mean we could be. And how innocent it was at the same time. It's all a game of loud teasing, we were all calling each other names to make everybody laugh; it's just that sometimes some people get too much and sometimes some people already have too much on their plate. I was as much a victim as a perpetrator.
In AAA titles especially gains in hardware are generally not squandered to make the software/engines simpler, but rather invested towards better fidelity or higher frame rates / better frame pacing (which is very, very noticeable). Games are one of few areas where the chronic wasting that is pervasive in almost all other software development is not accepted, by and large.
Your kids are more interesting and fulfilling than any work project you'll ever do. If that's not the case, pour that energy into making your kid project more interesting.
On the Subject of GDPR,

Are there any website still blocking EU visitors or has that been solved?

I remember when GDPR was introduce lots of website simply decide to shut off EU IP access and redirect them to a page saying not available to EU.
That figure was from the article.
We're American but live outside the US. Honestly our parent friends in the US seem sad and exhausted by comparison- the cult of workaholism is terrible for families, and the (guaranteed month of real pto/decent parental leave/shorter commutes/million other little things that make life less precarious) add up.
This is silly. I bet your colleagues are making poor R programs because they are not well versed in programming, not because R is inheritanly worse than anything else.

My experience is that people who make bad R programs also make bad python programs. I don't think you should blame a tool for issues caused by the programmer.
I've always thought that the line about people voting against their own interests was just addressing an irrelevant point. Billionaires who support Sanders and Warren are voting against their own interest because they'd get taxed higher, does anyone think that's bad? There's nothing wrong with voting on principle, rather than for what directly benefits you personally.
