Reasons to Homeschool Your Kids
I've traveled a fair amount in the third world and I think it has given me insight into why people in places like America are more likely to fall for cons and it's because 1st world countries are considered high trust societies (good topic to read about if you're interested) and generally people here deal with people who are honest on average and aren't always on guard against being cheated. In many third world countries these places are considered low trust societies and it's necessary to be constantly on guard. For example when traveling in these places I have to be very careful checking change I get back as I've been cheated a few times, things like this. This builds up a natural distrust of others that I think may help guard against being a victim.
I don't disagree that this is a possibility. I'm sure it happens. In our house, we have a zero-tolerance policy for fighting or rudeness, and we strongly encourage polite problem solving, even with the toddlers. It works well.

As for academics, we homeschool and vastly outpace the public school curriculum. For example, my 8 and 10 year olds are using a college Latin textbook. My oldest knows Clojure. It can be done, and, as I said previously, it's easier with more kids. I've been a father of 1, 2, 3, etc. and there's no comparison in the joy and ease that come with a large family.

Maybe this is how lame Sydney has become, but from a Melbourne perspective there are a few points here that don't really ring true - in fact it kind of sounds like you're describing the Australia that my parents grew up in...

> Forget interstate travel as each state has different line standards

While there are remnants of narrow and broad gauge tracks around, all the mainland capital cities have been connected by standard gauge tracks since 1995.

> It's impossible or near impossible to eat out after 8 pm.

This is true way out in the suburbs, or in regional areas but the closer you get to downtown the more places there are serving until 10pm (particularly Asian food) and a plethora of 24 hour places.

> Shops close at 6 pm so no after work shopping.

The two major supermarkets open until midnight. Shopping centres (malls) open until 9pm Thu-Sun. K-Mart is generally open until 10 or midnight, sometimes 24 hours. The rest I don't know - I don't really shop recreationally.

> You have two grocery stores, Coles and Woolworths

... and Aldi, plus the IGA's as you say.

> it's a long journey to travel outside of Australia

Not if you're going to New Zealand from Melbourne, or Asia from Darwin :)

> The prime minister denies climate change and walks into parliament with cole saying don't be afraid it's only cole

Agreed, that was a shameful moment - the only mitigating factor is that he wasn't Prime Minister at the time.

> They've yet to discover double glazing/insulation

Um, no. We have the internet and we can read, too. Possibly you missed the scandal a few years ago when the govt was subsidising insulation. Another shameful moment.

> I've never walked down a street or through a suburb that's felt unsafe

Generally agreed, but if you want the counterpoint I'll take you on a walking tour sometime. Just don't bring your good sunglasses ;)
They are a lot of "crypto" cases, essentially people back then took the faith of the ruler. Convert or die.
Issues I found at a glance:

1. This uses unsigned int for the chunk size, so the allocator will overflow on requests of 4GB or more despite taking a size_t. It seems that this is 32-bit only.

2. Even on 32-bit, the num_units calculation will overflow if you request (for example) 0xffffffff bytes of memory instead of returning an error.

3. None of this is thread-safe. It needs a global mutex lock.

4. EBP cannot be relied upon to yield anything sensible with -fomit-frame-pointer, which is common on 32-bit x86 as it brings the number of GPRs from 6 to 7.
That's not a single array though (per the OP's point)
Personally I think late 30s or even early 40s is ideal for a lot of men. I'm 36 and just had my first kid, and I honestly can't imagine doing it any younger. I just would not have been ready in many ways. Obviously I don't know your personal situation, but i don't believe your age should slow you down. Best of luck if you end up down that path!

LastingPaper is design to be a "helper" for Amazon E-Ink Kindle.

As a longtime E-Ink Kindle user, I wish there would be a software existed ,but there isn't, so I create LastingPaper.

But I think the webpage to Ebook local convertor and eBook management features could help other e-reader user to a certain extent.

When you have generated a eBook using LastingPaper, you can right click the virtual cover, there will be a "Open eBook storage folder" menu item. Clicking it, you will find a standard ePub Ebook file there.

No umami is a rich meaty kind of taste (also found in seaweed, cheese, mushrooms, soy sauce, some vegetables, ...) which has nothing to do with sodium chloride.

Damn that sounds awful. Yeah, I don’t need another headache. I can imagine times where the hardware is the right tool for the job, but with all those hoops you have to jump through to make it work I’d avoid that at all costs.
That's a nice workflow.
I was imagining (wishful thinking, I'm sure) that they were pushing to a Git repo hosted on Dropbox, which actually works remarkably well.
It definitely will not be for everyone. It's a bit like how many people suggest learning to code just a little, even if not intending to pursue it as your career. It still leads to this huge new understanding of things. Similarly with programmers and customers.

Have been there for an acquisition that did not go as planned. Essentially on the small side you are very dependent on the disclosure of the parties involved; short of truly burdensome diligence processes you are sure to miss things if the company being acquired is not up front about things.
With that attitude, yes. This actually illustrates my point of changing consumption habits perfectly.

We became vegetarians the moment we became parents. Not because I think our individual change will make a difference but because I want it to be a no-brainer for our kids to drastically reduce meat intake.

If you don’t want to raise kids, that is fine. But don’t act like having 1 or 2 kids is ruining the planet. It is not, it’s the way we live that is.

I dgaf at all about cute pets, like -1. But a lot of everyday experiences with our toddler are pretty magical feeling.

One thing I've found, if you're exhausted and just waiting to do something else, the whole thing just sucks. I've definitely done that/had days like that. But if you throw yourself into playing with them, and really try to engage, interact, trick them, tickle them when they don't expect it, etc, it becomes amazing, because he picks up on that and gets really into it too, and he appreciates it so much. Like beaming joy. And that's one of the greatest things I've ever witnessed.

Just a point of anecdata. But it really seems to be one of those things where you get more out when you put more in. I don't know that I got an obvious chemical lightswitch thing, it's been a relationship that's grown more and more over time.
Which is exactly why change is needed, not for us all to stop having any kids at all.
I actually have had the reverse experience.

My company was acquired 18 months ago. We were the smaller company, about 1/4 the size, and as the founder/CTO, I expected the acquiring company to be all over us. I mean, we had a pretty tight operation but there was only so much 16 people could achieve. There were plenty of things we could improve, and I was looking forward to the resources and experience of this bigger company to help us.

Was I in for a shock!

While their software dev practices were OK (certainly no better than ours), what hit me hardest was their secops. It was a nightmare. And these guys service some brand name clients.

As an example, not only was the corporate wifi password memorable - not actually “P455w0rd” but similarly bad - but it was written on a whiteboard in view of the whole office! Service passwords are still stored in clear text in the corporate wiki, and few people understand why this is terrible. It’s like a 90s IT shop, where people used to ask me “why would anyone care about our password?”

Kicking the can down the road is fine for a while, but without strong technical leadership, kicking the can becomes how things get done, and that’s been my experience here.

I’m not long for this place.
As someone who doesn’t have and doesn’t plan to have kids, I have a lot of respect for parents. They have made decisions and trade-offs and now have responsibilities that I will never have.

The one thing I will say is that the modern world is so, so built around the notion that the normal and right thing to do is to eventually have kids. As a gay person it’s easier for me to take the path other LGBTQ+ folks most often take of not having children, but I still see and feel the societal pressures. Do what’s right for you, not what you think you are supposed to do.
Here's a more user-friendly version with self-explanatory parameters:

int
main ()
{
f(1, 'O', 'O', 'O'); /* Sleep for 1000 years */
}
this article gives way too much credit to millennials an not enough to technology changes. For thousands of years culture stayed the same until tech forced people off farms. Cultural change does not happen without stimulus.

R language has many quirks. Here was an effort to list them: https://www.burns-stat.com/pages/Tutor/R_inferno.pdf

Also, the author of R language said the performance of R is sub-optimal. In his own words: https://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~ihaka/downloads/JSM-2010.pd...

Currently I am using PyCharm with R plugin that JetBrains released very recently. R Studio is very slow and buggy.

Banking on the public being stupid is not a good idea. Wisdom of the crowds is real. As long as there are regulations about financial reporting, these false valuations will come out eventually.

They needed to go all in, and commit fraud like Enron, if they really wanted to leave the public holding the bag.
> And the problem with the opposite is that risk is foisted off on unwilling consumers. The bidding process is subverted.

It isn't the consumers who take on the risk, it's the government. But nobody's asking them to do it for free, just charge an actuarially honest insurance premium that doesn't include having to effectively pay interest on a giant reserve fund even if it's never used.

> If risk is placed on the groups selling the technology, they have an incentive to work on technologies that are inherently less risky.

And yet they would still be stymied by a similar requirement.

Consider that solar panels have some nasty stuff in them. Heavy metals. That's well and good so long as they stay inside like they're supposed to and then get properly recycled, but what's the worst case scenario? Maybe something like a major hail storm that cracks open the panels, followed by severe acid rain that leeches the metal into the soil and the groundwater, or maybe a big forest fire that burns them and releases the toxins into the air.

A 1GW solar farm would have something like a million panels, so tens of millions of pounds of material, maybe a hundred million. If they all burned, the cloud could spread over a huge area, or pollute the soil and groundwater for millions of people. So all I ask is for you to have to carry $200,000,000,000 worth of insurance just in case that happens. The worst case is really bad but the probability of that happening is pretty low, so you won't have any trouble finding someone to write a policy that size and whoever you do find will give you a good rate, right?

Assuming risks like that is what governments do. If your giant solar farm burns to a crisp and you go bankrupt, they're the ones who will have to make it a superfund site, clean it up and bail everyone out.

Doing the same thing with nuclear isn't a special subsidy, it's standard operating procedure across all industries. Requiring nuclear plants to account for every last penny of risk or externality is fine if they're going to do the same thing for everybody else, but they don't. So are we going to require everybody to insure against the worst case scenario, or not?
Caveat emptor, it's not all fire and brimstone either. It's been a rough couple weeks on a few fronts so everything I've said is slanted by that. Still, everything stands.

Rather than divulge my psychological profile on a public forum, I'll say the following. Spend some time with kids. Volunteer and do activities involving kids. There's plenty of stuff out there. If you end up enjoying them, then you'll probably like your own kids. If you feel like what the hell am I doing here this is not my cup of tea, then my warning is that activities with your own kids is potentially not so different.
Do we know that? We actually do not.

If I have some previous passwords of yours in hashed form, and you give me a new password, what I can do is try to crack your previous passwords by generating nearby passwords based on the new one.

For instance, if you give me something that ends in a digit, I can substitute the other nine digits into that and try all those passwords against your prior hashes.
This rings true to me. Some other thoughts:

Online-banking is great. Commonwealth Bank for example has a great app and website experience. It is very much living in the future compared to Germany for example.

Dealing with the city council is mostly great with lots of transactions being possible online. Drivers license, parking permits and things like this. Also, paying the numerous fines is very straightforward.

Winters feel freezing cold inside due to lack of insulation. At the same time winter feels super pleasant outside with mid twenty degrees centigrade and lots of sun.

You'll bring a woollen jumper to work in scorching summer due to blasting aircon.

Lots of interactions are on a first name basis where it would be strictly Mr/Ms LastName in Germany.

There are lots of mosquitoes but they are huge and mostly silent. Compared to the ones in Germany that are practically invisible and noisy and keep you up at night. Australians ones will bite you plenty at night without waking you up.
When you attach Kindle to the computer using a USB cable, your Kindle will be a USB storage device. As long as LastingPaper found there is a Kindle as a USB storage device attached to the computer, It could copy eBooks to your Kindle and could read highlight logs from the Kindle.
He uses 32 bit pointers for the scan also, I think 32 bit only is intended. It also won't detect unaligned pointers :-). But this is someone's first try while learning about C or GC, he does says there will be mistakes!
People talk about imposter syndrome without thinking about the other side of the coin. There are actually tons of actual imposters in our midst as well.

Inept and incapable people often get promoted because they either know how to play the political game or are perceived not to be a threat. A great number of these people are aware they are imposters and they are actually right.
It depends on the specific distribution of those traits. You can say both "women suffer from breast cancer more often than men" and "women have longer life spans than men."

If a study found more men among the ambitious and risk takers men may still be more conforming to hierarchy on average. It's not necessarily contradictory.

>>Banking on the public being stupid is not a good idea.

By the time public wakes up, the thinking goes, we've already cashed our chips. How many investment firms buy solid businesses, only to chop them up, milk them dry, load with debt and then IPO?
It doesn't matter. The board and CEO will _never_ listen to the CIO and technical team. If they want to do an acquisition, they'll do it. I've seen this at least a dozen times in my 36 year career.

Funny, a few comments above, before reading yours I experienced exactly that.

I closed my eyes in the dark and tried to touch my two index fingers together in random places instead of just pointing at my nose. Can confirm that I also "see" the position of hands and fingers.

I think what we "see" is mostly out brains doing spatial reasoning and using part of the same systems as used for visual perception.
The agent only observes the first-person view in pixels, a compass angle, and a dictionary of inventory items [1]. So any solution would need to have a significant computer vision component.

Wow, everything wrong with the tech industry right here.
What book or books would you recommend as a starting place for someone wishing to explore these concepts? Is there one Adorno ir Horkeimer I should start with?
Thanks, I use Firefox and didn't know about this. It's interesting, but seems like it'd be most useful if you were actually using flex basis and not that helpful for just basic justification and alignment.
All good points. I wasn't actually trying to start a debate about the nursing profession, of course. Just an example of where average personality differences may partially explain observed outcomes.
OP here, I was in the same situation. The only way I eventually managed to get the labs was by dirbusting this stanford course's url a few months ago (felt a bit bad about this but I was a bit desperate and it did the job, I managed to get the lab pdfs/htmls, zips and even the vm; I also found it a bit ironic that I managed to get network labs from a top university in such a fashion). But this link is the most up to date version, of course. And this time they put the labs in github, just great.
> OK, so I have to live with 5+5+5+1 for now if I want to use flexbox. In that case, it would be nice to control the justification of the final line, for example having additional items lining up under the left-most columns above them. Unfortunately, this also isn’t something that flexbox supports.

My understanding of this description may be incorrect. If not, this is supported in flexbox.

This pen is editable so the HTML list can contain 16 items (5+5+5+1) and I think it works for what you're describing. [0] [1]

Are you sure text mode is fine? I usually have to use fundamental mode to edit big files (more than a dozen MBs or so).
I've been wondering lately about the similarities between startups and the movie industry. Most movies don't make a profit. But everyone involved makes money. One wonders what's in it for the investors using their own money. Along with the suspicion that making a profit isn't 1st on the list.

Not sure I can help here - while we did find a few online resources that were useful, our kids are in their twenties now so I can't remember much of what we came up with ten or so years ago. A lot was what might be considered "HN common sense" or pedantry. Looking at a site, article and author and deconstructing their bona fides, playing spot the flawed reasoning, appeal to authority or whatever.

And an awful lot of encouragement to question their beliefs, assumptions, and the spin of any particular article, or the motivations and intent, and change their own perspective at will. In short trying to encourage them to stay in the awkward squad who are constantly questioning...
Not hating the R, but from what you listed Julia comes the closest and the best designed of all. Octave is bound to be MATLAB compatible, this prevents language innovation. Sage is bound by being "a middle ground" for all third-party languages and frameworks it incorporates. Julia language is cleaner.

Federal government only matches 4% of pay according to this document:

https://www.tsp.gov/PDF/formspubs/tspbk08.pdf

Microsoft contributes 50% of one’s contributions to their 401k, whereas federal government contributes up to 4% of one’s pay to contributions.

So if you contribute $19,000 at MSFT, you get an additional $9,500. If you contribute $19,000 at federal, and you earn $150k, you get an additional $6k, subject to 3 years vesting requirement.
>>Most movies don't make a profit. But everyone involved makes money.

They do this to screw the small fish that might have a % agreement and/or for tax purposes. So ABC Movie makes no money for Disney but (say) Disney Productions made $XX million to produce it, Disney Promotions $XX to promote it and so on. In the end it all went to Disney' pockets, but the movie lost money.
I can never understand why there is so much discussion in western societies about whether to have kids or not.

It’s very simple:

1. If you want to have kids, then you SHOULD have kids.

2. If you don’t want to have kids, then you SHOULD NOT have kids.

3. If you are unsure whether you want to have kids, then you SHOULD NOT have kids.
