When kids a smal it is more the parents that enjoy the time with them. One, because it is just simply great. And because the workload caused by small kids is distributed between both parents. Because kids are stress. But yes, once they grow older, time with them gets more fun, simply becasue you can do more with them then just feeding and changing diapers. Which I did, a lot.

C's strength is the ecosystem:

* Your microprocessor has a C compiler and standard library, as does every processor you might ever switch to. All the hardware documentation that isn't tables in a PDF will be in C.

* Your target's static analysis tools and interactive debuggers will all support C.

* Every RTOS and embedded library/filesystem/whatever will support (and likely be written in) C.

* All experienced embedded developers are fluent in C.

* Nobody ever got fired for choosing C for an embedded project.

The disadvantages of C are many and well known.
That's a huge restriction to put in place with no indication that anything has ever happened like that. The incentives are aligned for both the company to refuse and the campaign to never ask because both would black ball them forever from politics...
Yes, I have. But time and time again, my fellow voters (and non voters) have shown that they don't quite care as much about things like paid parental leave as much as they do taxes, gun rights, national "security" and military engagements, restricting abortion rights etc.
> I think it is healthy for children to have both a mother and father who is actively present in their lives.

Not sure how literally this was meant (and a lot of the rest of the thread assuming a mother/father) but studies show kids do just as well with two parents of any gender.
The next step will naturally be a major increase in the prevalence and sophistication of anti-adblocking techniques. We're already starting to see the first stages of this on some of the more brazen sites, but reputable companies still tend to value user goodwill more than they value the lost revenue from ad blocking, at least for now. If adblocking ever starts to become an existential threat to medium to large sized businesses though, that situation is going to change real quick. A ton of money is going to start being thrown at countering the threat of ad blocking.

The companies which do the best job of preventing ad blocking while minimizing disruption to users will survive. Those which ignore the problem and allow ad blocking or those which are too aggressive and annoy users with their countermeasures will die. Companies which don't rely on ad revenue will stand to gain. The extent of this gain will depend on how far the war escalates and how much worse of a user experience ad-supported sites become as a result.

The resulting war will slowly escalate, with ad-supported sites becoming a bigger and bigger pain to use until one of several things happens. Either:

A. Enough sites are successful in forcing users to disable their ad blockers that running an ad blocker becomes a bigger pain than it's worth, and as a result adblocking usage declines enough that the old status quo is restored (except that running an adblocker will be a much bigger pain than before for those who choose to continue using one).

B. Governments pass laws restricting the use of ad blockers, and those laws are sufficiently effective to reduce ad blocking usage to a level where the old status quo is restored (except running an ad blocker will be more difficult and/or legally dubious than before).

C. Governments pass laws banning the use of anti-ad-blocking technology. Millions of ad supported companies which are affected by these laws go out of business. (See other comments in this thread for assessments of how that might turn out.) Sites which are unaffected by the laws (or which can get away with breaking them) continue the war. Repeat.

D. Anti-ad-blocking tech reaches a level of sophistication where companies start deploying full-fledged DRM to protect their content from users who use ad blockers. Circumventing DRM is illegal under existing law. See option B for the result.

E. Ad-blocking tech becomes so sophisticated that any and all technically viable countermeasures are either so expensive to develop or so annoying to users (even users who don't use adblockers) that most ad supported businesses are no longer economically viable. See other answers in this thread for the result.

> It is still unclear to me how forcing both parents to work full-time jobs is beneficial for anyone other than corporations.

The point of these measures is not letting/forcing both parents to work. It's to make both genders equals in the eye of the capitalist employer. So, depending on the job and remuneration of the parents, maybe just one can work. And this working parent can be the mother.

I don't understand why your friend decided that because he couldn't cope, then equal parental leave is a terrible idea.

When a company with the reach and market share of Google is involved, "anonymized" is meaningless. They have so many other channels to gather data (Android, ReCaptcha, Chrome, Google Search, etc.) that I'm sure it's trivial to de-anonymize and correlate GA data to a real person if that becomes profitable/necessary.

The author of the article in question isn't writing about trans persons in particular; you're trying to create a problem where there is none.

No. Neither did the author imply that boys don't exist by using the pronoun "she". Only an intentionally uncharitable reading would lead one to that conclusion. Again, you're trying to create a problem where there is none.

Total cost means nothing. What was forecast? What was the original budget?

If the original was billed at 1.3 billion NOK and we're at 2 that's still very high, but it's a different discussion from a 400K NOK estimate.

>Ralph Northam endorsing infanticide

This is exactly why the policy is needed.

If a baby is born with its spinal column outside of its body, a quivering mass of braindead flesh, unsustainable, destined for a slow and lingering death-- it should be terminated.

That is infanticide. Humane infanticide.

People going around yelling about "Ralph Northam endorsing infanticide" don't care about that. They don't care about the baby, and they CERTAINLY don't care about the mother.

They just want to stir up shit and get people yelling.

And because they assume that all people are as amoral (or immoral) as they are, people shouting about "infanticide" think that women are rushing to the doctor late in their third trimester to abort healthy babies for no good reason.

Hmm... Good point. I could see how Wacom could make context sensitive control panels based on the app, without having to ask the user, but then I still would want control over that: what if the functionality becomes too different between to apps and I find it annoying? This should be exposed to the user.

It makes it feel less nefarious, I guess. But I still don't want a C&C server knowing this much about me.
Because they do a ton of other stuff. There is a fundamental misunderstanding of the scale of these businesses...they pay out based on the cost determined by a third party but they are still profitable because they do a ton of other stuff.

Eliminating limited liability would finish these businesses because it would require risk to be borne by employees and managers. They are not able to bear that risk...that is why we split ownership and management with limited liability...this has been thought out.
The government is putting some money in it. I would prefer that money was used to extend the mother’s leave.

> and the erosion of wages as a consequence of womens' entry into the workplace has actually taken away the choice of being a full-time mum for many, by forcing them to work.

I don't buy this narrative, sorry.

Also, of course women who want to stay at home taking care of the babies while the father is less involved in child-rearing are perfectly welcome to do it. It's just that I think it's unfair that society expects this to be the norm.

edit: I also think you're conflating "women who want to have a career and be entrepreneurs" with "mothers and fathers who want to share the load (and joy) of being parents". It's not necessary for the mother to want to be an entrepreneur for this; it's just necessary for the father to take his share of the load.

I disagree. I mean, it depends on the kind of app. The data requirements of some apps might do well in a simpler model that can work OK with existing syncing services.

But the majority of apps need more complex needs and you definitely should not go and build a new database. The user experience will end up being flaky (syncing problems) and/or slow (the database is not good). Not to mention that now in addition to setting up the app, the user now needs to go sign up for one of those services if they haven't already.

With integrated syncing, the user just fires up the app and syncing works and they never have to care about how it works.

There's a reason a whole field of research exists into things like CRDTs. Distributed apps are not trivial, and only ones with simple data needs could get by without a more rigorous approach.
I have hard criticism about Elm, but I concur that it has a good onboarding experience when compared to PureScript, Miso and GHCJS.

In theory, yes, but unless the cost of supporting a family can be done with one job (as it used to be), then this is kind of a moot point. Both parents can choose to work part-time, but typically that means they'll be in poverty.

I thought I'd add: what's the "mono" in "monoid"? It's that the ports come in only one compatibility type. For example, devices that have exactly two ports, one male and one female, for some type of connector, maybe USB-A. If you plug one into another, then you have a new device with the same properties, at least as far as ports are concerned.

What does that actually mean in practice when liabilities can exceed assets? Also, what does it look like to try to have "sufficient" cash reserves for contingency? We've had enough trouble trying to do that with banks and Basel III.

To use a concrete example: Electricite de France (EDF). They operate a large fleet of nuclear reactors. How much should they be required to put aside against the contingency of a massive Chernobyl-level incident? Their "total assets" are 283.2 billion EUR according to Google. Is that enough?

Why the ‘Best’ Ideas in Education Technology and Reform Don’t Win
Before I start this rant I want to say that I appreciate authors who put work into trying to solve hard problems. These are hard problems and I think at least trying to make a step in the right direction is a good step.

I feel like we are approaching the problem of frontend development complexity the wrong way. These new frameworks and domain specific languages fail to cut through the complexity of the real problem and instead mask the complexity with shiny new frameworks. These frameworks still all suffer from the same problems.

There are deeper issues that need to be addressed. The fact that their landing page doesn’t work well on mobile is evidence of that. Assuming it was created using Mint.
