There are a few things I can identify that makes my experience with my own children same as PGs.

The first is extremely low expectations of what having children would be like. The last 7 years or my life have been the best, by far.

I have lost a lot of ambition, but I welcome the loss. It feels good to look at the lot I’ve carved out for myself, which is fine by any standard, and breathe and just enjoy my time and life with my kids.

Another thing that has bolstered my experience is a strong bond with my wife. I’m 40, and we’ve been together for 23 years. We know each other pretty well and have worked most of the bullshit out.
I agree, and I'm ok with other types of arguments from the ones you mentioned.

But why people, me included, should care about aesthetics in particular?

We have limited time, we need to choose how to allocate it.
A Love Letter to Camp
Synopsis : 42 Year old Sasi is a corporate & Ad film maker, lives in Hyderabad. One day he plans to go to his village and shoot it using the new drone camera he’s bought. His village is in Telangana state in Jogulamba Gadwala district. It’s called Nouroji Camp.
Almost 60 years back a man from Andhra came here and settled and his relatives and friends also followed the same, because buying farms here was very cheap. That’s how it’s became Nouroji Camp. Sasi’s got vey fond memories of this village, his grandparents lived there and he used to go there for every vacation. His grandparents are no more but Sasi visits the village twice a year.
This time he decided to visit the village with a purpose – shooting the village with a drone camera and also wants to take his niece who has never been to Camp. Sasi is very close to his niece, they are like good friends. Sasi’s girl friend (a Bengali) also joins them. Three of them hit the road and reache the village. They spend two nights and three days there. Story will be told from three different perspectives of the main characters (Sasi, The Niece and The Girlfriend).

Yeah, that makes sense. There are definitely different types of side projects, not all are "startups". Also, I don't think doing a start-up on the side is bad if you work at a job that is 9-5. But this guy is saying dedicate to whatever you really care about- you should be working on at most one "startup" at a time if you would like to create a "startup" in the traditional sense.

You're looking at it from an overly technical perspective.

Who's going to bother photographing "undesirables" to reverse image search something that might be a removed logo from a trendy brand?
I like how the author acknowledges the problem with the very word "type" - https://www.cs.tufts.edu/~nr/cs257/archive/stephen-kell/in-s...

The word "Type" is such an overloaded term, just like how "Workflow" is an overloaded term in the tech industry[1].
For example, when people say "X is strongly typed language" means something much different than when people say "In Haskell, function have types" [2] or "Idris has dependent types".

They aren't completely unrelated, but they mean two very different set of things depending on the context.

Shielding is totally irrelevant. Even on land it's insignificant compared to the inverse cube law- spreading the dose reduces it much faster than the shielding, once you aren't right next to the reactor. Radiation exposure is not caused by proximity, it's caused by breathing and eating nuclear material. Water makes that FAR faster.

Again you're describing a sealed or mostly sealed, cold reactor, which is what most spills have been like. That is not what an accident would be like. It's a totally different scenario.

> And the very dangerous isotopes you speak of, they have a very short half-life.

Minutes, hours and days- easily long enough to kill local life outright. My point was that the local effects underwater would be far more disastrous than a similar accident on land, if there is life where the accident happens.

> See also, the Oklo natural nuclear reactor complete with all the associated waste/contamination and the fact that it had little to no impact on the surrounding environment[2].

It was active during the precambrian, and buried underground, which was again the exact assumption of yours that I had an issue with. You are really, fundamentally not understanding what I am saying- a nuclear accident is extremely different from disposal.
I've been on a SharkTank binge just for fun, and one thing I notice is, every time a Silicon Valley company goes to pitch, the idea has some pretty bad problems:

1. The margin is high but the idea is easily copied

2. A ton of money has already been invested, and still not making money

3. Other things I can't remember at this moment

I think SV has some sort of problem when it comes to starting businesses. Rarely something is organically growing. It's like SV people just throw money at a wall until something sticks, so it explains the thousands of failure companies.

Seeing SV companies through the eyes of an investor, I'd be ultra cautious. Companies and ideas are a dime a dozen there from what I see. Until you find out each has had +$100,000 pumped into it various ways and operating at a loss. It's almost like they want to force you to think the idea is good because "look, it's existed for X years!".
A very basic implementation would use a bounding box. This is done quite often in MMO type games to make sure players don't end up outside the map geometry somehow.

I have efficiently done it at an industrial lab with commonly available industrial electricity rates ($.065/kWh). 93% efficiency using a solid oxide cell that was made in 2008. I don't know where you're getting your information but it's wrong. $0.116/kWh after conversion back into electricity.

If I were doing it at home with residential rates, I would be paying $0.125/kWh, which is still feasible, but more expensive than gasoline at the moment. With the way solar prices are dropping, that won't last long.
> more precisely predict what riders might be willing to pay for a ride

It's weird to me that this sort of price discrimination is legal.

E.g. given this information, my incentive as a rider is to never tip (so that their algorithm doesn't identify me as "willing to pay" more). Maybe I could also make a new Lyft account every time I need a ride?
There's bias: people with children were previously people without children and can realistically regret the lifestyle that they're leaving behind, but people who've never had children lack that same capacity for regret.

And as to who is feeling overwhelmed and regretful, it's mostly women who are shoved into a thankless housewife roll and living far away from their family and friends.
I definitely did. First night home she projectile pooped all over me, and my instinct was to laugh and think it was cute. That brought me up short and i realized my brain had been hacked for the purpose of the species' survival. I would still rather vegetate than play with her on many occasions, but something flipped a switch and all kids are way less annoying than they were. A friend of mine who has gotten all his out of the nest says it wears off. My father in law says the same until you hit your first grandchild when something similar kicked in.
What is the point of this blog post?

1) There's not a "side project bubble". What happens tomorrow if everyone's side projects are deleted from the internet? I don't think anything horrible would happen, if anyone noticed at all. What bad things would happen if 2x more people decide to start a new side project in 2020? Similarly, nothing.

2) Side projects are not "an expense the employer ends up paying." Quite the opposite. Employees with side projects are spending off the clock hours improving their skills and becoming a better developer. In most cases, this increases the employee's productivity and value to their day-job.

3) "And actually, we need to be honest. Not everyone is an entrepreneur." -- so what? Having a side project isn't always about "being an entrepreneur". The best side projects are the ones people work on for fun, because they want to learn a new technology, or because they simply want to create a product that solves a problem they themselves have.

I'm struggling to understand why the author writes so passionately against people having fun working on projects outside of their day job.
This article’s a couple months old, so it misses what I think is going to be a lot more definitive against Uber/Lyft.

That is, workers are starting to successfully unionize. Both companies have delayed it as long as possible, but it’s going to happen. And when it does, it will either burn more of their cash or up the customer cost.
Was my thought as well. I’m pretty sure a stupid AI that was no more than a couple state machines and a lookup table could collect diamonds.

I’ve written bots for MMO’s and the hardest part for a task like this is fighting the API the bot has access to. I suspect I could even solve this challenge 10% of the time with a blind bot that just did some brownian motion. Unless you never run into trees, every other resources is pretty easy to just dig down for.

The only thing that would make this hard is the thing that makes it hard for a human player which is knowing you’re on the diamond level without using the xyz debugging info.
There is an old saying, you can’t con an honest man.
There's this thing that bugs me with the current "design system" trend. Originally the term refers to a system for expressing a _specific_ design, as in an extensive styleguide. A design system ought to be a flow of rules meant to govern the appearance reflecting a brand, a vibe or character, and ensure there is a foundation to guide any kind of composition into a coherent, unified look.

Yet it has become a new synonym for something like the olden "css framework". A component library with certain extent of customisability on the very lowest level, color, typography and have a few options. Use it as your own, skip the "designing" part altogether.

But the true purpose of a design system in its original sense is to direct the layers of design above these fundamentals, to consolidate identity across all communication media used.

Maybe I'm overly conservative or opinionated here, and the word has another meaning for the web/app design community today. But i can't help but feeling like it's become a marketing buzzword for "todays Bootstraps".
I've heard "free market capitalism" before. But not any alternatives.

Your distinction isn't clear to me; request elaboration.

It is Postgres. It’s using the same source code as a base and it’s compatible with all Postgres tools.
from the page:

> All citation data is cached (permanently) as bibtex as well as CSL to citation-cache.json. This is both to improve performance and to make sure references stay the same forever after the initial fetch, as well as to avoid problems if the API might be down in the future. This also means that errors in the citation data can be fixed manually, although if you find you need to do a lot of manual tweaking you might again be better off with Zotero.

Visit a lawyer. It'll be a couple hundred $. Ask them to explain what your rights are - it's not just what's in the contract, it's how it'd be interpreted under applicable law, and you have to do a cost/benefit in terms of cost of exercising your rights vs. how valuable it is.

If a couple hundred is too much, you just did the cost/benefit and decided it's not worth it.
Are you sure that’s real? If so, do you links to further reading?
I think the reasonable takeaway is "don't let your side project interfere with your job," but the article comes dangerously close to conflating it with "employees shouldn't have side projects." The draconian aspect of the latter becomes obvious if you replace "side projects" with "hobbies."
This feels terribly sentimental, but of course it's a sentimental topic, so... a poem that I very much appreciate on some of these feelings (http://web.colby.edu/csc-mcnair/rulesnewcar-tcluster/):

The Rules of the New Car
by Wesley McNair

After I got married and became
the stepfather of two children, just before
we had two more, I bought it, the bright
blue sorrowful car that slowly turned
to scratches and the flat black spots
of gum in the seats and stains impossible
to remove from the floor mats. “Never again.”
I said as our kids, four of them by now,
climbed into the new car. “This time,
there will be rules.” The first to go
was the rule I made for myself about
cleaning it once a week, though why,
I shouted at the kids in the rearview mirror,
should I have to clean it if they would just
remember to fold their hands. Three years
later, it was the same car I had before,
except for the dent my wife put in the grille
when, ignoring the regulation about snacks,
she reached for a bag of chips on her way
home from work and hit a tow truck. Oh,
the ache I felt for the broken rules,
and the beautiful car that had been lost,
and the car that we now had, on soft
shocks in the driveway, still unpaid for.
Then one day, for no particular reason except
that the car was loaded down with wood
for the fireplace at my in-laws’ camp
and groceries and sheets and clothes
for the week, my wife in the passenger seat,
the dog lightly panting beside the kids in the back,
all innocent anticipation, waiting for me
to join them, I opened the door to my life.

I don't interpret this as charging different customers different prices per se. But there are different prevailing conditions with different pricing justified (other than simple congested/not congested). Knowing what your service is worth to customers so you can extract a greater fraction of this is pricing 101.
Yes you're technically correct but the time slicing makes it practically different. More here: https://blogs.unity3d.com/2018/11/26/feature-preview-increme...
5.7 billion people refer to it as football, 300 million refer to it as soccer. Any time you see the word football and any non American person, it's probably talking about association football.
I’d love to see professional licenses switch to a “maximally fair to the user subscription model”.

If you use the thing in a given month, you autopay the monthly subscription fee — if you don’t use it at all in a given month — you pay nothing.

people who use the software regularly pay basically the current subscription pricing model — but if you only use it very occasionally — you pay much less.

I think this kind of pricing model could really help drive adoption of subscription pricing for professional tools ... I’d be willing to maintain a subscription to several expensive infrequently used by me tools with this kind of pricing model — and I might occasionally use those tools which would be better for the developer than me never using their tool at all ...
I don’t see how the Uber model can ever approach the price of a taxi. Traditional taxis had purpose-built vehicles, shared garages, parts bought at wholesale, and cars on duty all day every day. Uber drivers have disposable Toyotas, pay individually retail prices for insurance, maintenance, and parts, and their vehicles are usually parked. The traditional model has the advantage on cost.
The same argument could be made for literally anything you or any other meatbag ever experiences, desires, or enjoys. It’s completely fatuous to use this line of argument to distinguish having children from any other human goal, activity, or desire because the criticism applies on both sides and hence cancels out.
> ...the company’s upcoming pricing algorithms, which they hinted might be able to more precisely predict what riders might be willing to pay for a ride.

I hate the whole idea of this. If they track you around, maybe realize you order from fancy places on uber eats, then they will raise prices on something that costs them the same. There's something that strikes me as especially awful about automating the "how much is this individual willing to pay." It's like the worst parts of searching for air fare.

Yet another reason to advocate for privacy, so they can't just buy records about you to determine your price sensitivity from the rest of your life.

If everything everyone bought had perfect information on what they're willing to pay, I wonder what markets would look like. Would getting a raise immediately cancel itself out?
But is that what actually happens? Witness the abysmal approval ratings of Congress as a whole while every district continues to approve of and reelect their own representative.

Because people love it when their representative brings home the pork but they hate it when the other guy does it.

It's not possible for people in one district to elect a representative who could individually eliminate all wasteful government programs, but it is possible for them to send in somebody who will at least bring them back a proportionate share of the loot from the heist. Is that not rational behavior absent some coordination mechanism to get all the other districts to stop electing kleptocrats at the same time?

Maybe better would be to vote for someone willing to do that while also pushing for structural change to remove those incentives, but that's assuming there is any candidate running with that position.
When you're on an airplane, the instructions are to put on the mask before assisting others.

As a parent, it seems counter intuitive to save yourself first.

Self-care and balancing your needs (for whatever definition of balance applies) helps makes sure you are fully present and able to parent--making you a better parent.

It may feel like you are being selfish by putting your needs first; but that's our culture of shame and not a reflection of parenting skills.
> kids love to help [ ... ] Involve them ever so slightly and you can continue your task.

I think it can be a mindset or awareness thing, but some people are also resistant to involving anyone else in their stuff.

It requires having an attitude where you believe others might have have something worthwhile to contribute, and it requires exercising faith in that person. And thinking through how they might contribute and/or what reasonable limits are. Some people aren't willing to do that, and they tend to shut people out so they keep control. (This applies to both kids and adults.)

IMHO (as a non-parent), it might actually be way better parenting, too, if you can get this right. People often respond well if you give them a stake in things and responsibility for something (assuming it's not genuinely more than they can handle). You're telling them you believe in them and giving them an opportunity to grow. Many people will take that opportunity. And if you always avoid giving them such opportunities, you're implicitly suggesting you don't think they can handle it. Developmentally, I think a kid needs to have these experiences where they see that they are trusted with things, learn to step up, see that their contributions fit in somewhere, and see how to do more of that. If they don't, they are probably going to go out into the world not really expecting anyone to want their contribution.

I'm an ex-con developer. To be fair, my dev roots go back to childhood. I make around a quarter million a year in a mid-range cost of living city in the mid-west US.
I work for a non-profit, make about a fifth of what I could make on the free market, live in a developing country and still agree with him.
Does Pony still work on Windows? There’s an issue about it[1] from 2015 and the one developer who uses Windows hasn’t committed to the repo since 2016.

You're right not forcing the issue. But this is something that merits at least a dialogue. You don't have the right to force your partner to do what you want on this, but you have the right to be able to speak about your desires, and having them acknowledged.

Forget about this idea of burden, this is not for you to decide, and if you are serious about that, you should be clear about sharing the workload.
And yes, there are also the specific burdens of pregnancy, lactation that you can't share, but also for plenty of women, there is also a reward for those activities. A reward that you as a man can also only reap vicariously. So, for every woman there will be a different balance of perspectives, some value more the rewards and will be happy having kids, others will feel more actually the burdens. Not your business to decide that.

But, what is your business is to understand what is important to you. To understand that if you feel so strongly about it now, it probably won't go away and that you will resent over time, if not right now.

And then, if you have such different attitudes about this matter, maybe, just maybe, it would be best for both of you to free yourselves from each other.
Why should we expect Uber and Lyft to be the first to solve autonomous vehicles, rather Google/Tesla/a startup that is completely dedicated to self-driving?
Given that 1) I have no idea what Dexter is and 2) copyright most often stands between me and works which would have been public domain under the terms extant at the time of their authorship and publication, I'm more than willing to make this trade.

Even Dexter fans may submit that it's not the author + 70 years or 90 year corporate copyright term that is essential for its creation, but rather the revenues made possible through exclusive rights to advertising and subscriptions in the first few years of release.
