I have 3 kids, all 4 and under. Exact same situation and I feel that exact same feeling. It's rare my spouse and I to find free time for hobbies. I find myself with a drive to work on things or learn that I never had before I had kids, but hardly anytime to do any of it.

I'm in a fortunate situation of having both my parents and my in-laws so close and that my kids love to have sleep overs with them. Those seem to be the only times where I have a decent amount of time to dive into something, but even then, there are still up-keep responsibilities and a desire to just rest during those times that causes that window of time to disappear faster than I'd like.

I don't have any advice to offer but just an answer to the question on if anyone else is in the situation you described. Just know you're not alone :)
This has been my experience over the last two years. When things get limited to a preset problem that doesn't fit the reality. The system has no mechanism in place when things go outside of the norm or expected.

Finding expert doctors and relaying updated information to family doctors doesn't work too well either.
My home was once burgled and the thief made of with an ipad (among other things). We tracked it down using preyproject.com and with the help of the cops, retrieved it from someone who had bought it from someone on the street.

Had I gotten it back then there'd have been very little harm done. However, the cops held it as evidence for so long that by the time I got it back it had gone obsolete.

The justice system ended up doing me more harm than the thief did (and they never did catch him). I don't live in the US.
I do, Absolutely.
To be fair, some varieties of racket schemes are cons.
It's pretty damn easy to pin down "parameters for loyalty, forgiveness, propensity towards warmongering, and more" (in fact, they already pinned them down) while making the AI smart enough to not leave lucrative resources unimproved, and not smash waves and waves of units into a walled city with +30 strength.
Question: what's up with the strange apostrophes and quotation marks? Is this some non-American English thing that I'm unaware of?
In Argentina, where I come from, a couple of GMs, unable to make ends meet with their chess earnings, switched to poker, backgammon and/or bridge, games in which there is a lot of gambling going on, and they made quite a lot of money.

I understand that these games are much more similar to chess than a fantasy football game, but it seems that some chess calculation skills are indeed transferable.
Does anyone have a good guide like this but with good answers?

I can come up with decent solutions to problems, but the best way to learn is to be able to see alternatives you hadn't thought of so you learn something new.

Can tech fix it by
1. Disabling the dropbox account?
2. Stopping dropbox urls from resolving in their lan if need be? Or blocking dropbox ips?
3. Buying a md1280 or similar storage quickly n put a freenas or similar on it?
4. Put syncthing or similar on all the user computers n this new nas?

I'm glad this wasn't too obnoxious - rereading what I said did make me feel that I could have worked on the tone. A good deal of my irritation in that "missive" is directed at myself - I used to be one of those "I can't wait until X" parents (last diaper, last interrupted night of sleep, last faceplant on the sidewalk while learning to walk properly, etc.). But now I look at toddlers in the park and wish I could change another diaper or soothe a crying baby or bandage a knee one more time if we could have more of the good bits too.

Not to over-romanticize it all; I've had scary hospital visits and known parents with colicky babies who were genuinely run to the very limits of exhaustion, and parental depression is a real thing. I don't want to make it sound like everyone should find every single day of parenting an unmitigated delight ("or else you're doing it wrong, and are probably a way worse parent than I obviously am in my infinite wisdom").
I'm not dismissing all of philosophy. I'm dismissing mid 20th century philosophy.
Actually why is dropbox involved if its a git directory???
You are right. I own a property, and I wouldn't probably like crowding in my neighborhood. But despite the fact that I don't like it, I would vote in favor of denser zoning.
Yes, that's true. If you're wanting to buy a house that is a good reason to not put additional money in the Roth 401k. It still makes sense to do the Roth IRA, since you can withdraw your contributions early without penalty (subject to some rules).
He's not #1 this week (not even close), he's currently #1 over a 16+ weeks period[0]. Each week's #1 is usually one of many random teams, picked for that purpose.

I have no idea how many games he watches, but watching the games isn't correlated to fantasy football success.

Looking at his team, all the players are in a very hot run of form, or likely to be picked just by studying e.g. Understat.com, or both.[1] Most of them are also likeable, and could be suggested by a football fan unaware of fantasy football specifics.

The problem with writing a database, and maybe a few other of these, is that given the enormous compute/io capabilities of a modern machine, its quite possible to implement it completely wrong and never really know.

AKA, a toy database might be enough to handle some simple storage/retrieval problems but be full of hidden O(n^2) or higher logic which would fall down hard with even fairly simple usage in the "real world".

Reminds me of my own text editor, written in Applesoft basic when I was in middle school. It worked for its intended purpose (editing small assembly files), but was really quite terrible all things considered. I remember it being quite slow to save/restore, and it was only really capable of editing files of a few hundred lines before it started breaking BASICs memory allocation schemes. AKA, I didn't really learn any of the datastructure finesse needed to implement a "real" text editor with line wrap/etc.

Worse I remember trying to read the code a few years later, and while it fit on two printed pages, it was 100% unreadable.

(for those that don't know, applesoft's speed was influenced by "formatting" if you will. It encouraged line number usage only really for control flow, plus the long list of call/peek/poke magic numbers required a handy cheat sheet of what each address did)
I know this will never happen, and I'm sure is not a popular opinion, but San Francisco needs a Bloomberg/Giuliani (pre-nutcase) style Republican to come in and clean house. Sometimes that is needed, and sometimes the opposite is needed; otherwise you get run away situations like deep red and deep blue areas that progress backwards.

Daycare isn't solitary confinement. The kids there are hanging out with other kids and the daycare employees. Kids who hang out in a variety of different social situations like this actually end up better adjusted than kids who only hang out with their parents the whole time.

I remember preschool (i.e. private daycare) as being a hell of a lot of fun. Same for summer camps. And if it gave my parents a rest away from me, then good for them. I still saw enough of them every day.

The important part is that if you really set your contributions to 65% then you will max out your annual retirement contribution limits early on (front loading). So the rest of the year you will receive your full paycheck (- ESPP, which you'll also get back every quarter).

So the situation is not as dire as it appears.

I never said that, or claimed women have no place in IT or don't belong in IT or anything of the sort. I said men and women value things differently, so you will naturally get disparities in career paths. That doesn't make a male teacher weird because he's vastly outnumbered, nor does it make a woman weird for wanting to get into STEM or IT... It just means on the whole....men and women are different and -most- men and -most- women like different things than each other, completely detached from any societal norm, and there's nothing wrong with that.

We should tackle sexism where it exists, but we can't tackle it properly if we're trying to say everyone is the same...because they aren't.

While it wasn't said, this somewhat implies that people are faking their way into companies, guessing and pulling other tricks to get through an interview. The simple solution is for people to be honest with themselves and their interviewer about their capabilities. This is my approach and it sometimes means that I don't get work because I flat out said that I know nothing about a certain technology or don't have mastery over something yet. Today, someone must have thought I had excellent SQL skills and I clearly let them know that I can do CRUD and stored procs (the typical developer toolset), but much of my recent experience is with ORMs. The gig might not come through, but I don't have to worry about imposter syndrome or my relationship with the other developer.
"However the problem is that the open source user may not stumble on this magical fraction and the invisible iceberg of buggy, ill-conceived open source lies submerged ... open source uses massive amounts of user time trawling through defunct and buggy applications and posting to forums ..." Regardless of what you are looking for (open source computer programs, closed source computer programs, television shows, books, etc) some won't be so good, or might be difference what you need for your use, and so they have reviews about such thing.

"An awful lot of popular open source is inferior reverse-engineered copies of existing commercial software (Gimp, OpenOffice etc)." Is Gimp a reverse-engineered copy of existing software? Just because it is similar to some proprietary software does not necessarily mean that it is a "reverse-engineered copy" of it. OpenOffice presumably involves the reverse-engineered formats of Microsoft Office, although now there is LibreOffice. Both Microsoft Office and LibreOffice each have some features the other lacks. What is "inferior" may also depend on your opinion, because in some cases it isn't so clear, and in some cases it may be inferior in some ways but superior in others.

"If open source programmers do innovate and their innovation is good then its just as likely to be swept away from them by the corporations who have the capital to exploit it." In my experience that doesn't always happen. Many features first implemented in GNU/Linux systems are things that they did not implement similar features in Windows until much later.

"... the Linux desktop still lags behind Windows and the interface looks stuck in the 90s." Actually, I think both in Linux and Windows many programs try to be too fancy, but in Linux I can change the window manager and all of that stuff easily and still works. I uninstalled the desktop environment, and I think it works much better than Windows ever did, actually.

"Good software is properly documented, does not break and does not require hand-holding to use it." True, but that isn't the issue; the issue is customizing it.

What if every interaction we have matters and does influence the world, and what if having kids can improve the quality of those interactions?
I can concur- we have got to the 3 and 5 stage and then choose to have another. That one year while they were both pre-school age was glorious, the kids were getting so much easier. Now we are back to never having time again.

For me the one of the best things about having kids is that they give me so much perspective. I might have had a great day or an awful day at work, but no matter what I’m feeling I still have to get to day care on time, get dinner on the table, help with the homework, get them into bed, read the story, and kiss them good night. By the time I’m at that point, the triumphs and tragedies of the work day have just faded away in importance. I just get to reflect on the day with a small feeling of accomplishment and the strange sound of a quiet house. And then one of my kids wanders in and asks for a drink of water :)

Indeed. Also, it's important to remember that a lot of these rainbows and unicorns don't apply to people unwillingly forced into single parenthood (my situation). That's a very rare situation for males, so it kind of gets the short shrift on this forum, but, we're out there...
San Francisco has its own unique issues but local government in pretty much any upscale suburb in America is effectively a homeowner cartel.
Yes, they are cheap. Usually around 600-1200 yen or $6-12

There are many styles of ramen in Japan, ranging from super simple broths to the liquid bacon style.
Reminds me of a firm I worked for. They decided to adopt Google Drive for the team of about 20 employees.

Every couple weeks an employee would mistake the synced folder for their local disk and rearrange files or delete files and then the files would disappear for the rest of the company.

Then we’d have to go into the backups and restore the files and send a message out to everyone to hold the files they were working on before saving them to the drive again.
Yes. Ramen in western cities is preying on the local perception that ramen is 'trendy' and therefor worthy of being expensive.

In Japan, ramen is more akin to burgers in America where sure you can go to a 'fancy' place and get a $15 burger, or you can go to the diner down the street and get a burger for $3. Ramen is the same, with plenty of fancy places if you want that type of meal, but the majority are small, quick, almost "fast food" type places with cheap food.
Noodles (soba, udon, ramen) are among the cheapest foods in Japan - commonly 8-10 USD.
That's fair, and you're right about that. I'd still highly recommend anyone interested in ML to implement their favorite algorithms from scratch.
> 5. Audit has some explaining todo.

Yes, that's a total fuck up on their side as well. That an incompetent company dies while doing stupid stunts like that is understandable and how the market filters out stupidity.

That another company looks at it and thinks "Oh that looks fine", that's a total failure at their work.
That is a good point. Sometimes the code is useful even if it is incomplete. (I have sometimes done such things, taking parts of other programs; more often, I write most of the code myself, but some of it will come from other sources like that. As an example, I found the source code for a JPEG encoder, and modified it to improve the compression and other things. There are many other such cases too.)
Thanks so much for posting this link. The ads in the back pages bring me back to the early 80's and remind me where we came from (acoustic modems, 16K ram) to today. Geez, I feel so old...

I can only speak from my experience: Yes, it's cheap, but it's not the cheapest around. It tends to be in the 500-1000Y range depending on toppings. But that range also describes a great variety of restaurants in Japan: soba, teishoku, convenience store prepared meals - all are in the same range.

Thank you for posting your perspective. As someone who's contemplating having kids in the distant future, I'm wondering if there's a way to predict whether these chemical changes will occur for me or not. Do you have any insights here?

In particular, I'm curious about these questions pertaining to your life prior to having children:

- From 1 to 10, how much did you enjoy helping a friend out when it was a mild inconvenience to yourself?

- From 1 to 10, how positive of an emotional reaction do you get when you see a cute dog?

I have a completely unfounded hypothesis that the 'chemical' changes that PG describes are akin to how our brains react when we see cute pets.
I don't have kids. But I have three generations now of friends with kids. What you are going through is completely normal. Small children take everything you can give and then some. You have another couple of years and it'll get a lot easier. First off you won't need to watch them constantly. And then they get friends of their own and you'll get some free time back.
I’m convinced if they stopped paying us all to rewrite things that work the market would fall out from under us.

Every job I’ve ever been involved with has always had some code base that was in framework X and now needs to be in framework Y, or on in house hardware and needs to move to the cloud, etc etc.

And having just interviewed every place has a project like that. “We were using PHP for the mvp but are moving to RoR”, “We were using class based react but now we’re using hooks”, etc etc.

I feel half of it is valuable migrations and half of it is to always have something on our plates.

And it always has to get done yesterday. What a world.
The author is wrong on innovation as well usability. One of his arguments is summarized as follows:

> [Open source] did not reward innovation. The most successful products of open source are knockoffs of old ideas; Linux included.

So what about Spark? What about Python numpy, pandas, and scikit-learn? Most people don't just use them because they are open source. They are innovative solutions to difficult problems.
Battery management systems deal with this by using some energy to heat the pack. So dealing with cold temperatures is just a measure of insulation and some vampire drain. While driving, or parked in a garage, there are no issues of course. Note that Norway is the European country where Tesla cars are most popular, so the problem seems to be nonconsequential in practice.
