I don't know that it really has that much to do with "breast is best". I think nurses are just normal overworked people following their script. If it wasn't the breast is best thing, they'd be ignoring you for different reasons.

We had twins two years ago and some of the nurses were just very lacking in empathy. A few of the other ones were fantastic.

The second night we were in the hospital, I went home to stay with our older daughter. This left my wife on her own in the room, and the understanding was the nurses were going to give her time alone and handle a couple of the feedings for her. Well, shift change happened and the new nurse didn't give a care. Have to follow the script.

Sure they took the twins away after the feeding, but when they need to eat every two hours and it takes an hour to do, and then they have a half hour of other checks they need to get in, basically my wife didn't get any sleep all night.

She broke down crying in front of her nurse and the nurse basically said, "Suck it up." Without considering that my wife was dealing with a C-section, new twins, having nurses in and out of the room constantly, and me not being there to lend a hand.

I came in at like 5 am, and she was basically just sobbing in her bed. Thankfully one of the nice nurses came in and sat with her and calmed her down, and then said she would have a chat with the younger nurse and let her know that she needed to cut new moms some slack.

The other noteworthy thing that happened was my wife ordered supper, and while the nurses were in the room, she very obviously was having an allergic reaction to it. They just carried on like nothing was happening because "we're here for the babies". Finally I put my foot down and pointed out that my wife was obviously having an allergic reaction and her eyes were basically swollen shut. Then they finally were like "oh, I guess we should get her something for that."

Which is a long way of saying, I agree that nurses aren't nearly attentive enough. And can relate. But also, I'm not sure if its the focus on breast feeding that is the issue.
Sure it can! I just did!

Words mean what we want them to mean. If I said there are five myriads of sand grains in an hourglass, what could this possibly mean but 50 thousand?

pagat.com in general is a treasure worth exploring, but I love this classification index. Personally I love shedding/climbing games more than most other styles

Haggis is a newer addition to the climbing/shedding category (tho it is 10 years old now), uniquely filling a slot for a good 2 player version (went to market to add a 5th suit giving you access to the 3 player variant)

Inaccurate headline. They're doing a pilot project to see if they like it. This is where a lot of these "X Government Switches To Linux!" projects fall apart. Wake me up when they actually do it.
You undercut your own argument by using the phrase “not likely”. You acknowledge that the probability of the data being leaked has increased as a result of more people having access.
A lot of medicine is basically cargo-culting or at least it feels that way because Doctor's rarely talk about the curve of how doing something will affect an outcome down the road. Are we talking about 50% chance of bad thing happening or 1% chance in 30 years? The former is serious, but the latter is probably one of those things most people would be very happy gambling on if it means to prevent that one percent they're gonna need to take a bunch of medications with all kinds of fun possible side-effects and interactions.
Our hospital had a 50 year old lactation consultant that called formula poison when she heard our pediatrician recommended us to supplement breastfeeding with formula.

We decided not to even try with our twins, because it took an hour of pumping to produce half an ounce, every doctor we saw still pushed breastfeeding on us.

There's immense peer pressure surrounding it too. People love feeling superior to each other.

ONI's bugs killed me. You spend a zillion hours building up a colony, then another few hours routing up some wires to get a closed feedback system, and then the system glitches and cant resolve the wire routing or the pipe routing or something and it all breaks down. Frustrating like a programming language with no error messages and a buggy compiler.
Simulating Epidemics
"you're a competent parent and you'll know unhealthy behaviour when you see it"

Except so many people are incompetent parents who refuse to vaccinate their kids, abuse them emotionally, physically, and/or sexually, feed them all sorts of junk food (US obesity epidemic, anyone?), the list goes on, and on, and on, and on.

Many kids will survive despite the awful way they were brought up, though often with psychological scars, and are likely to engage in the abuse they themselves were subject to, or turn to self-destructive behavior.

Not that the parents of all psychologically scarred, abusive, or self-destructive people are 100% to blame, but they tend to play a significant role.

So, yeah, I don't think the advice of "do whatever you think is best" to parents is necessarily the wisest approach, despite a lot of parents thinking they're smarter than the experts and that they don't need to listen to advice.
Firefox.
I am using it since 2008. Once I tried to switch to chrome, but memory and other issues were there.
The initial reason I used firefox was for firebug,Chrome was not even launched at that time.
I have now a soft spot for Firefox, But on mobile I use Chrome, firefox lite is looking impressive but I will wait to get it matured.
It's also worth noting that in the early era of personal computing, viruses which caused considerable data loss were a commonplace occurrence.

These days, ransomware and other malicious software are very much an ongoing concern. I welcome efforts by OS providers to limit the damage these can cause; the minor annoyance it causes developers is more than made up for by the increase in security for the end user.

Sure, sure, but obviously in the hypothetical scenario of a world without copyright I meant also without patents. In general I believe the idea of intellectual property is wrong and innovation blocking.

But since we live in a world with it by default, it is hard to prove it right or wrong.
And it is very hard to prove it small scale, since the big industry woukd just use the work of a small inventor without any compensation if they don't have to, just like with open source.

And to the point of the example of patents and secrecy I would add, that for example Elon Musk decided insome cases to not make a patent, because it is a blueprint for others. (don't have the link right now)
HotFuzz: Discovering Algorithmic DOSes Through Guided Micro-Fuzzing
>> Are you on track to meet the deadline?

So wrong if not put the right way... I'd prefer : I see you're struggling, maybe we could make your life easier by removing some work, accepting the quality to be a little less good, maybe we could just accept that some things will be late...

I usually get :you're late, tell me why. Then I explain. Then my manger says : "I don't understand"... Then I fail to explain the obvious : I'm f*in overloaded.
Your attitude, honestly, is contemptible and disgusting to me. I will show you the respect of explaining why:

First, the very notion that you spend so much time worrying about what others wear, is quite disturbing, and says much more about your own mentality that that of those whom you're so eager to criticize.

If someone is walking around in a thong or a ripped up pair of shorts, OK, I get it, but a simple T-shirt and blue jeans bothers you? Quite frankly, I don't want to be within 100 miles of you, or anyone like you.

> 'As a computer scientist I treat the necktie as a semaphore which it literally and figuratively is'

Yes indeed. The neck tie is literally a symbol of your mental slavery. It's meant to be symbolic of a leash around your neck, the other end of which is held firmly in Lucifer's grasp. Bet you never considered that.

> 'I want to encourage you to consider the sociological and epistemiological implications taking into account every relevant consideration'

....such as the fact that suits are uncomfortable and ridiculous, and that neck ties (besides being a symbol of slavery) cut off circulation to the brain and are thus uncomfortable? And that your own personal discomfort at other people's perfectly reasonable clothing choices is a mental condition you need to somehow conquer, rather than attempting to impose your own foolish judgment on the rest of us?

> 'I know it's abstract but so are human relationships and we all know than software is based on cooperation dynamics of this nature at its core.'

Life is give and take, and quite frankly, there is nothing a person like yourself has to offer me that I can't find in abundance elsewhere, without having to deal with your crippling mental disorder.

Lessons Learned from my Struggles in Grad School (so far)
I'm doing Japanese vocab on Anki and I have it set to the default 20 words per day. I'd say it's still pretty doable, although I do have relearn every day.
An interesting coincidence: it was recently (2019) discovered that the fastest way to multiply two n-bit integers, in time O(n log n), involves 1729-dimensional Fourier transforms: https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-02070778. It is quite surprising that the asymptotically best way to perform such an elementary operation should be tied to Ramanujan’s famous taxicab number.

(Technically, it works for any number of dimensions >= 1729, but the proof fails for dimensions less than that. Future work might bring the bound down, or better explain why that bound is necessary.)
Anything similar for Europe? I'm helping to run a trial right now, and I am sure that no one will talk about it if the result is negative.
Not quite. The organization will defend the organization, but a more mature and less toxic organization will do that by removing the toxic elements instead of enabling them. The founder sets the tone, though, and ultimately Uber had to remove the founder to reduce the toxicity of the organization.
> Linux has tons of auto update solutions. E.g. on Debian you can configure the unattended-upgrades package to do it for you. There are plenty of nice GUIs for most tasks if you use the right distro.

These suggestions are still problems for many Linux distros these days and for general users there should be one sane default solution for 'auto-updating', just like Windows and macOS. No user should have to configure packagename-1.0 to do automatic upgrades for the user, it should be in the default install and configurable via the settings GUI with a simple checkbox. Finally, to further confuse the end-user to switch to a Linux distro is when they have to choose 'the right distro'. Windows and macOS come in one recognisable desktop form, Linux still suffers from an identity crisis on the desktop for end-users.

Unfortunately, it isn't possible for me to recommend a Linux distro to an end-user only for them to end up being frustrated with the switching process and eventually going back to Windows or macOS. Ubuntu and ChromeOS may suffice for some users but the other distros will confuse them further.

It’s most definitely the medical establishment.

There are similar issues with the “back to sleep” campaign - the risk of SIDS apparently is indeed Slightly lower for babies sleeping on their back, but it is only very slightly lower, and some babies will not sleep on their back unless they are exhausted which causes other non trivial issues. If you actually look into the “back to sleep” study data, it is much, much weaker than proponents imply it is.

And yet, every nurse in the hospital kept telling us with religious fervor to not even think of letting the baby fall asleep on their stomach. I was so impressed that I was sure the evidence was overwhelming. But after a week with a hardly sleeping newborn (relatively speaking), I decided to look into it myself. You should to, rather than trust the “experts”. (Or a random internet post like mine, for that matter)

Chrome for work because i like the dev-tools and most of our users are on it either way.

FireFox for everything personal because its fast and i love the containers.

On Android I also use Firefox because I like having extensions to block ads and get youtube to play videos while the screen is locked.

That's what I thought. Flagged.
You do know what the difference is between anecdotal evidence and statistics right?

Your example sounds so far away from everything normal.
Because if done properly, employees interests are aligned with the interests of the employer.

If you own significant stock options in Facebook, it's not very wise to to cut the branch you are sitting on.

Additionally, external researchers have much higher risk, because they may seek fame, or need money (employee are generally in a safe position, the intern at a research group is not).
An exclusive data leak can bring both advantages.

Also, they may not have the same security practices as internal ones (deep packet inspection, etc).
I hope you’re kidding.
The initial text isn’t good, the corrections are maybe not perfect and some are more a matter of taste but definitely better than the original wordings.
“y dédier du temps” is closer to the original formulation and equally good for instance.

I noticed that most of native speakers of any language are not that good actually in their mother tongue.

For someone who’s learning the best disservice is to not point their mistakes out.

And sorry it’s not being pedantic to ask people to be precise enough to not spend my time guessing what they maybe were thinking.

It’s already hard enough when well written.
You can prove all sorts of properties about a program. Sometimes the compiler produces bad code, but that is really not the fault of the formal verification, but a compiler bug.

Try writing some moderately complex progra. in C, then a formally verified version in SPARK and fuzz them. That is usually quite confidence-inspiring :)
The primary point of Factorio is what you want it to be, right? There are explicitly speedrunning achievements so surely that type of thing is the point for some folks. And to a certain mindset (time) efficiency is one thing that is fun to optimize.
That sounds appealing. How would the program know what "better" was?
Both "s'inscrire à" and "s'inscrire dans" exist. The trick is to pick the right form. Both may be correct in some cases, but not in others.

Sometimes the meaning changes as well. For example "s'inscrire à l'école" and "s'inscrire dans une école". The latter means "to register with a school" but the former is more "to register to start school" in the sense that it is 'school' in general.

As for "crédits", indeed the meaning is basically the same as in English and the original sentence is correct in the language. But it's not something anyone would say. The terms used would most likely be either "bon" (voucher) or "forfait" (inclusive special rate), or perhaps "chèque" (cheque) instead of "bon" if it was given by your employer as a benefit.
I read to my kids every night, until they could start reading to me and then to themselves. They also get plenty of screen time. My kids are doing great in school. This article seems like complete BS to me. At best it compares kids with lots of reading to kids with no reading - we already know this makes a difference. To say that the kids with no reading had lots of screen time and then to blame only the screen time seems disingenuous. This is a boat load of confirmation bias by smug assholes that know better than you.
The operating system itself isn't the problem, it's all the applications. And the PowerPC transition was both easier and more worth it because the x86 processors were so much faster than the PowerPC processors of the time that they were competitive even when emulating PowerPC code, which wouldn't be the case this time.

I've been guilty of this too. A note is a way to get something out of your head. I always return to plain text files on my computer because that's the fastest/least resistance and there just aren't any additional benefits for me to using other approaches. Linux command line tools are a simple yet effective way to work with text.

If the target language has its own eval, why would the transpiler need to run gen_expression at transpile time? It sounds like the transpiler in question is trying to specialize the eval invocation for its input, which is indeed not possible in general. Normal transpilation (as with compilation in general) just converts code that may or may not halt to other code that may or may not halt, without needing to determine AOT what's going to result at runtime. The straightforward way to transpile evalX(langX)->evalY(langY) is to emit evalY(transpileXY(langX)), with the transpiler available at runtime along with the evaluator.
Funny, one my best friends lives in Korea and is terrible at it. I don't think he ever put any effort into it though. I thought about joining him and put a little effort into learning with a Korean friend: the alphabet made a lot of sense anyway!

I have a low opinion of NYT columnists. As you say, you really have to work at it. Reading the peregrinations of someone who admitted they didn't actually work at it, larded with excuses from psychologists (who are measuring people who also didn't work at it) isn't real edifying or useful; we already know how people manage not to do it. Enough people succeed in learning new languages as adults, I'd rather hear from them.
Thank you! What a "reporting" feature? For each missing feature :

2. Send email to relevant school admins, and trial PI, saying similar and informing of email to NIH?

3. Email to Science magazine, who has written articles on this, to encourage more name and shaming?
Like most complex interactions in life, it really comes down to just feeling when the time's more appropriate. Sometimes people explicitly ask you to correct what they just said ("was that right?"), sometimes they halt in the middle of a sentence and look at you expectantly so you just finish/reword it for them, etc. But generally speaking you shouldn't try to correct people too much unless it really impedes proper understanding, it can really undermine people's confidence in their speaking ability even when they are otherwise fluent. And when you do correct them, only do so with respect to grammar or improper choice of words; correcting pronunciation can be a minefield given how it can change widely within a native population, what with accents and suchlike. (Some people, especially in such a centralized language featuring very normative institutions, will argue that they don't have an accent and everyone else does, but they're wrong.) It should only be corrected when it would otherwise lead to misunderstandings.

In this case, this was across the board for the types of specialists I wanted to see. I had called dozens of practices, and spent hours with insurances representatives trying to find a provider who wasn't booked for the next 5 months. For mental health specialists, I had to wait on two different waiting lists for both someone who could prescribe medication and for someone who provides therapy. Specialists who could do both had even longer waiting lists.

It isn't just the mental health field. I have a colleague with a daughter who needed an addiction specialist, and that was another 6 month waiting list. People die waiting on those lists.
