Your kids are at the age before school where they are the hardest to deal with. Once a kid gets to school, magic happens. I mean it.

- They get tired from learning stuff. And the teachers know how to deal with them.

- They learn how to behave in a group. They start having actual friends.

- You get a bunch of friends who are in the same situation as you, and you can use their kids to cancel out yours. (AKA playdates)

- Having friends in the same boat will help your confidence a lot. They can help you directly with the kids, plus some of them will have older kids too, and they can tell you it gets better.

- As for your own time, try to be disciplined about the kids' bedtime. It helps a lot that school is tiring them out, and use that momentum to not let them decide when to go to bed. If you get them asleep before 8pm, how much different is your day really? You had to eat anyway, and you have to keep the house clean regardless. Your real problem is if they keep you up to 11pm each night, then your life is gone, and they end up in a cycle of having not enough sleep. Make them sleep, then code up your side project.

For example my kids started school at 4. I've put them in full time after school care as well, ending at 6pm. Now they're tired but awake when they come home and can eat a meal, then bath, then bedtime. You can read something to put them to sleep, then go and do your own stuff.

--Edit

Forgot to mention, the kid will learn how to read. From there you can give them a book and that will keep them quiet. Remember to teach them how to code as well, so they have proper tools to explore the world.
Great idea for projects!

That is how the market works even today without Uber and Lyft too. Everyone is trying to figure out the max you are willing to pay for something. It is just that finding that out is expensive and sometimes exceeds the benefits of bigger margins. Some business like Costco on other than totally opt out of the whole guessing game and would rather offer few choices at fixed price.

Willingness to pay more also tells you a lot about the person's need and if the person is willing to pay more it is a signal that the person needs to more. Servicing those needs first is often beneficial for the whole society. For example a person traveling for an important business meeting that will help him earn lot more would be willing to pay more than teenagers going to the mall. A person trying to catch his international flight worth $$$$ might be willing to pay more than someone just going to get a haircut.

Not only this sort of differential pricing makes sense it benefits everyone without hurting others.

As an overachiever, who has hobbies - but one of them is working a lot, I agree with much of what you said.

Just recently, in talking through my similar frustrations (I have a 6 & 9 yro) - I've realized I love being, and playing with my kids, but not doing the rote parenting. We've considered placing kids in afterschool care longer, having more babysitters, etc. We've also considered getting an "au pair" to be around me, but to do the basic block and tacklin g so I can focus on the bigger issues.
Yes, that's fair. Please explain why you believe it is not fair.

1. I'm climbing a tree when I ought not to and fall and break my legs. I'm a poor construction worker which means I am now out of work.

2. I'm climbing a tree when I ought not to and fall and break my legs. I'm a wealthy programmer and just keep on going to work since my hands and brain still work fine.

Working in VR is a cool glimpse of the future. I also sometimes do it with Immersed VR (similar to VR Desktop, but works with Mac). I say glimpse, because I still kind of need to "force" myself to do it.

There are some advantages (like the big screen and more focus), but today the disadvantage will overweigh for most people (friction of putting on the headset and connecting to your computer over WiFi, the weight of the headset, lower resolution, starting to sweat over time and leaving marks on your face, etc.).

However, these are very solvable engineering problms and I'm exteremly optimistic that working in VR will be better than looking at a "small" flat screen sooner than most people realize.

I have two boys, ages 4 and 7. Here's my take: raising kids is not about you. It is a selfless thing that we do as humans because our DNA tells us so. Like others said, it will get a lot better. Just remember that what you do now builds the platform for your relationship with them in the future.

Believe me, I know how you feel. I have a basement full of half-finished projects that stalled out seven years ago. But, I've replaced those things with two little mini-mes that love football and trucks and travel. Looking back on the last seven years, I wouldn't trade them for the world. It's been awesome and it's getting a lot better.
On the face of it this isn't a section 230 issue because nobody published anything illegal (CDA doesn't apply to private chats). But actually it is -- I suspect there's a COPPA violation in here. The platform could be a defendant in these actions if not for the exemption.

SESTA doesn't help here because of 'knowingly'.

I buy the argument that 'without section 230, ISPs wouldn't exist.' I hate my ISPs specifically but in general I think internet access is a social good.

But I don't feel the same way about instagram, or even the AOLs and compuserves that existed when this law passed. Rewrite this so that it protects ISPs but not social platforms. 'Without this exemption, FB has to charge its users so they can afford moderation' is a fine compromise for me.

One aspect of the design that I like is not downclocking when using wide vector operations. That Intel chips cut their frequency if anything is using AVX-512 makes the instruction set practically unusable for general purpose software, since the whole core runs at that reduced frequency (across all processes and threads) whether or not it's doing vector work. Consequently, it only really makes sense to use these operations if you can dedicate a whole clock domain to them and nothing else --- and few systems are set up that way.

Think about having kids as like starting your own start up which you want to invest in for years to come and will very likely IPO with huge investment one day.
One thing I felt was missing from this article was concrete suggestions for parents. What do you do if you have an 11-year-old daughter? Maybe 11 is too young for an Instagram account, but are you really going to prevent her from having a social media account at 15? How do prepare her for this kind of vileness, so she's not burdened with secrecy and self-blame?
Once you're an adult, the younger you can have them, the better. You're right that you need the health and the energy, but it's more than just that. There's a world before kids and a world after kids, and the world after kids is much better. It's night and day. You want to live in the post-kids world as long as possible.

Like Paul is saying, it'll change your perspective on everything, and you'll be much less grumpy. You'll understand the world at a much deeper level. You'll be more accepting of everyone around you. Your priorities will be a lot better. Your perspective will stretch outside yourself and across the generations. As much as people think they have it together before they have kids, they have no skin in the game, and they have no idea what they're talking about.

When I meet people who don't have kids, especially as they advance into their late 20s and 30s, my overwhelming sentiment is pity. They're yammering on about their expensive cars, their exotic vacations, their large empty houses, and the long hours they waste slaving away for some distant corporate master on some irrelevant chunk of code, and while many seem to think these things are impressive, the only thing I feel is pity for the empty materialism and wasted effort that dominates their lives.

It's obvious they're looking for some meaning in the wrong places. Humans need the significance and the responsibility that come from parenthood. It's irreplaceable, incomparable. Life without kids is all but worthless.

My advice is stop planning because everything you think you know is wrong. Get married and have kids. It's hard, sure. You don't have as much time for personal interests, also sure. You don't have as much spare cash (usually hardly any). But none of that matters, and if you think it matters, it's because you don't have kids yet.

> The best approach against the "repressed memories" or "why are you reporting this now" is to make it as straightforward and encouraged as possible to report incidents as and when they happen, and collect and process any evidence at the time.

After the Cleveland "satanic abuse" scandal (where many children were wrongly removed from their kind and loving parents) the UK implemented wide ranging changes.

These include ABE (achieving best evidence) interview techniques that are designed to get accurate information from witnesses without creating false memories; getting social workers to say "allegation of abuse" and not "disclosure of abuse". http://www.transparencyproject.org.uk/things-children-say-di... and a culture of supporting the victim while providing a robust investigation which holds open the possibility that it's a malicious allegation. I'm not sure they're getting the balance right at the moment, and I think too many victims are not seeing justice.

Police and social workers are in a tricky situation here. Clearly Cleveland was awful and something needed to be done to protect innocent parents and children from the harm of false allegations. But the current rate of conviction for sexual offences is far too low (over 100,000 rapes each year, fewer than 3,000 convictions), and the Rotherham scandal was terrible -- vulnerable children being raped by criminal gangs were assumed to have "chosen" that lifestyle and abandoned by their social workers.

With respect, it was directly related to a quote in the article. It wasn't my intent to provoke a flame war; I was addressing what I felt was faulty reasoning used by someone in the article.

I understand where you're coming from, but I'm honestly not sure how much of the article -- or articles in general -- I could bring up without it potentially counting as an 'ideological tangent', as that seems like an awfully broad and ambiguous label. Just about everything is ideological to somebody.

I also don't see what about my comment exactly counts as flamebait. I wasn't overly abrasive, I didn't say anything particularly outrageous or extreme. It was a political sort of point, yes, but "how do we, as a society, help former criminals integrate back into society" is kind of inherently political, I think.

It's not really clear to me why your comment is being downvoted. You're expressing a constructive opinion.

It seems to me that children can thrive under a wide variety of parenting styles. I consider that my own upbringing was a bit "rough around the edges", but with age I respect and understand my parents more and more.

In retrospect, I wouldn't have it any other way. I respect my parents a lot more than I used to.

What I would say about productivity is that particularly for mothers, they may have less time for work, but they get more done in a given amount of time.

Simply there is so much to do, if you're not organized you will go under.

Thinking back to the before-kids era, it's clear I wasted a lot of time. A lot of the volume of work I did was due to having loads of time to burn on it, not due to being effective with time.

So I would give a bonus point to people who've raised kids. They clearly have survived a time in their lives when being organised was essential.

Yes, it takes energy and resources to build things, including "green" things. Pointing out that it is non-zero is hardly an insight.

Had an Audi, did the work myself. Audi parts are not VW parts just like Porsche parts are not Audi parts! I think a relay or a few hoses were shared across the car companies but nothing to write home about.. Second Audi’s are heavier than their VW counterpart so they needed stronger equipment. Made and shipped from Europe. Third, Audi had a tighter build process so a lot more work had to be done before a similar task on a VW (timing belt comes to mind). The same exists for Lexus/Toyota, Ford/Lincoln, Nissan/Infiniti.

What I’m saying is your nice house may cost 2x because your nice house has nice things that increase labor costs. Just like that upsized vehicle manufacturer..

That’s a really good point, lava pools start at y=10 so mining around 11 is both safe and in the diamond zone. The question is if there’s enough training data to reinforce an agent so that once it finds a (underground) lava pool it should start mining at that level.

Your story is my story. And I am positive the story of most dads. When you have young kids to take care of, you absolutely have no life.

However as my kids grow older and they need less care for daily basic stuff, I find myself get more motivated. I have to provide for them so I am absolutely motivated to be more productive.

This last sentence is a bit wrong.

Where the child is under 16 and has not consented the CPS recommend prosecuting for rape because that's a more serious offence. Where the child is under 16 but is "consenting" the offence of rape cannot be proved (because rape requires lack of consent), so the CPS recommend charging for section 9 sexual activity with a child.

https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/rape-and-sexual-offenc...

> Conversely, when reviewing cases involving children under 16 and 18 prosecutors should select more serious charges involving proof of absence of consent over those contained in sections 9 to 12, where all the elements can be proved. So, for example, section 1 rape should be preferred to section 9 sexual activity with a child under 16 where the elements of rape are satisfied.
