A simpler description would be a sparsely connected network, with a tree shaped connectivity pattern.

There is a lot of research potential waiting to be discovered (or maybe rediscovered) with sparsity in neural networks, so I am a fan of this area of research. I would even say that sparsity is playing a much bigger role than we realize in the success of many neural architectures that are popular today.
Until convinced otherwise, I'll continue using Vue and if necessary server-side rendering of it. This post didn't change my opinion.
How much of this issue is related to having a part of the population think that people having children is solely a private question? "You had children, why should I bear your burden!"

If none of us had children there would d be no economy to support anyone's life in, let's say, 40 years from now.

People making and raising new sane and healthy people should be considered a social and common good, for the sake of all, and should be protected and encouraged. Maybe not too many children, true, but at least enough to keep some semblance of population balance, no?

The difference is that tuning an IC engine is pushing components into/past its designed safety/mechanical thresholds.

It's not uncommon to find models with a wide range of power outputs but the exact same mechanical parts, and the only difference is the program in the ECU. Before electronics, the difference might be in a few small parts[1]. If you spend long enough staring at parts catalogs you can easily spot such things.

[1] One of the examples that immediately comes to mind is with diesel engines --- you can change the fuel injectors to tune power over a very wide range, limited only by your acceptance of fuel consumption and emissions. All the load-bearing parts of the engine (block, rotating assembly, etc.) are exactly the same: http://forums.aths.org/Attachment20581.aspx
> History should be taught as it is? No lies.

Not going to happen. History is always written by the victorious and in a way that is more flattering towards the victorious. The way we think of Hitler nowadays, we would be thinking the same of Churchill if WWII went the other way.

What we can do instead is to tech people to read history well aware of this bias and mentally correct for it.

I found this plot from Arizona Department of Public Health.'Hospital Bed Usage & Availability' sub-tab 'Number of Intensive Care Unit Available and In-use at Arizona Hospitals.'

Everything is reported in percentages, so I don't know how the absolute number of beds shifted as a result of temporary increases in ICU capacity.

Anecdotally, my manager has been a terrible human being after I took paternity leave at the height of Covid in NYC. I 100% sense the resentment. Not only has he been a disgusting person towards me, but my duties have shifted to India and I’m being assigned projects where I have 0 experience in.

I’ve been laid off from my current employer for taking parental leave before. So it’s not surprising that I’m being pushed out again.

FYI: labor laws in my situation are very much stacked against me, as usual.
If you resent people who have children at your place of employment you have too much time on your hands.
This is an uncharitable interpretation. Here is GP's statement without the editorializing quotation:

Yes, thats sucks.

For that specific problem, you could imagine policies allowing you some kind of 'zoning swap' - where you get a bit of land in one physical location and swap all laws, covenants, and restrictions for land in another region. Obviously you might not have a 1:1 exchange rate...
Sort of like buying a car and then referring to people who haven't bought the car as privileged for still having the money the car cost.

Except in this case, the people who didn't buy the car are already actively paying taxes toward services for those cars even though they don't have one.

Are you arguing that the protests are more valuable because they are a political event, or because they are a political event that you agree with? I'm interested in whether you would make the same argument in favour of, say, a Trump campaign rally.
Yes, they should be unhappy about that: at their managers. Not at their colleagues attempting to care for children during a pandemic.

I've heard a related thing about US workers resenting colleagues for taking paid time off for similar reasons, and it's just as weird to my European eyes. The difference a decent labour movement (or the legacy of one) can make to industrial relations is stark

You can recognize when things will be harder for some people than it is for others, but at the same time acknowledge that these are simply the consequences of different choices being made.

I have no doubt it is harder for my coworkers with kids now than it is usually, but I also know that they chose to have kids, and knew that would mean that they’d have more “work” in some cases than if they didn’t have kids.

But they chose to have kids, and I’m getting tired of these threads where everyone with kids seems to be saying that kids a purely a burden to be put up with, which is honestly what these complaints about it “being a full time job” sound like.
It's probably a 15+ year old application, which, if it was web-based, would be built on 2-3 out-of-date webstacks, badly joined together, with who knows how many security flaws.

Compared to maintaining that, ncurses doesn't sound too bad.
It's a normal and rational human emotion to feel anger or annoyance at differential treatment for no fault of your own, whether that boils over as "resentment" is a function of your own emotional maturity in my opinion.

But there is a growing resentment from "child-free" folks who take issue with your points a) and b). I don't know how I feel about the first point but the second one is a critical failure point in our society and economy that should be removed, and we shouldn't necessarily design an economy with incentives that promote growing population.
>What's the harm though?

because it pollutes the root domain, which means:

1. More phishing opportunities. Aunt Barbara can barely tell the difference between chase.com and chase-secure-login.com. Allowing baddies to register chase-login.security is only going to make things worse.

2. I can't tell what's a domain anymore. In the past I can reasonably use the heuristic that any string matching the pattern[1] was a domain name. Now I have no idea. Is foobar.technology an actual website or just a brand name? Who knows! Come to think of it, I couldn't remember whether it was foobar.tech or foobar.technology. Or maybe they hit it big and now they're just blog.foobar?

>I can give you some benefits of brand TLDs, though. [...]

Every benefit you've listed can be had by having all your websites run off your main domain (eg. blog.google.com vs blog.google).

No, phase III is still examining safety.

There’s a word for this concept, the ‘Lindy’ effect.

Yeah that's the "they have x, why don't i?" attitude that causes a lot of problems. It should be an "everyone should have x!" attitude instead.

At the end of the day, everyone's human, so there should be a little bit of slack in the staffing - long term - so that when someone's unavailable, nobody is drowning.
I mean, that doesn't really change the parent comment's response. It's clear from the article and even the discussion on this thread that not everyone agrees, whether it's permanent or right now.
That not always help but for sure will backfire at you.

Im writing next part as a parent of two.

We have in team people who take multiple days off due to taking care of children, often not even counting it as taking a day off. Management doesnt care and expects people who do not “exploit” their privilages to do work for 2-3-4 people.

Its also not the way to go, but any comment about that is a hard “stop being so selfish”.

What to do in such a situation? Start doing the same to make company bleed money while frozen?
>employer expectations have historically been incredibly high at companies I’ve worked for, to the point that sacrificing one’s personal life is pretty much expected (although never explicitly stated).

This sounds horrible. Honest question: why do you want to carve out a solid career in an industry that you can see works this way?
If the developer explain it nicely will probably get the app approved as it is a “reader” app, therefore exempt from some restrictions.

So the corporate policy is that they'll reject, with a low level of comprehension, and if the developers don't bother to explain, too bad.

From the POV of the reviewer, they benefit from greater throughput, so just low-comprehension reject, and deal with the clarification.

Apple thinks of itself as some kind of advanced, disruptive, with-it company. The way it acts, is sometimes more like an atherosclerotic bureaucracy.

Why not? I would have thought we do. Most vaccines do (flu notwithstanding).
I'm trying to understand why this article is on phys.org.
Nobody expects having kids to be free or easy. But nobody expected to have a global pandemic that completely disrupted and in most cases eliminated the entire support structure that parents have in place either. Right now companies that are offering more support to parents are doing so because they recognize that parents are much more impacted by current events than non-parents, and also because this is expected to be temporary.
I'd guess this is a case where the average (especially arithmetic mean) is misleading. suppose a hypothetical fire department gets four 911 calls in a day. three are for life threatening traffic accidents, and they get a vehicle on-scene in six minutes. the last call was for a cat stuck in a tree. the cat isn't going anywhere, so they take an hour to get there. they responded pretty quickly to the most serious calls, but their average response time for the day was about 20 minutes. a single outlier for a low priority situation can severely skew the arithmetic mean.
True.

I used to provide dev teams with cli tools (testing, infrastructure debugging, etc.). They used them from time to time but only after implementing basic gui with tkinter or simple html/js/css they started to use them more often. I prefer terminal more than gui but if you don't use terminal 90% of the time it's much easier to click the button on a website.
I simply can't get around Proton's pricing model. A lot of services already work with rclone, which has a crypt backend on top that encrypts everything stored in the cloud. With ProtonMail's current Visionary plan, you get 40GB of storage for $30/mo and with ProtonDrive it looks like you'd get maybe 140GB of storage for $30/mo. G Suite is $12/mo and you get unlimited storage. If you're worried about security, you'd simply use GPG on top of IMAP or Mailvelope.
What you just described is a "policy" decision, one designed to optimize for good results. A "political" decision would be one designed to increase one's support among some sort of collective-decision-making class (voters, in this context). It's sort of the opposite, in context.
Thats nice and all for a big established company.

Smaller companies dont have this luxury, because execution is everything.

The issue overall shouldnt be with extra workload, but with rewards. People without kids shouldnt be angry at having to pick up the slack, thats normal part of any business, but they def have the right to be angry at the management if they dont get rewarded for it
I don't get it either. Can someone familiar with trains explain what on a train needs a desktop OS? A train is more like a car than an ATM machine, I would expect a collection of computers running either bare-metal or an RTOS like QNX/VxWorks (the pictured train is from 2000, so embedded linux hadn't taken off yet).
It’s depressing how entitled a generation of parents have become. And I say that as a father.
It is much more special, because afaik it is the only one that can hook into SMS coming from the carrier. Other messenger apps can be downloaded and installed, but they can only do digital messaging.

If you are on Android and you use Signal, but text some random other android user's phone number that uses a pure sms messaging app, is any part of that conversation encrypted?
Assuming all 4 people want a promotion, there are only 2 slots. It doesn't take a genius to understand that there isn't a solution to fit all ;)

The job of the manager is precisely to get them to swallow the pill. Classic excuse "We didn't get enough promotion slots this year, we will get more next year".

More importantly the initial assumption is wrong, not everybody care about promotion. Some employees expect to be promoted or want to climb up the corporate ladders, some don't. If you can figure those with little aspiration and those with long teeth, that's a good way to direct promotions and maintain a team for longer.

Second thing is to figure out who's likely to leave looking for a promotion elsewhere (both willing and capable to get a job at the next level). A promotion with a 5-10% raise is the best way to make them feel valued and forget about looking elsewhere (even though they could get 30-50% by switching companies).

Last but not least, who's strategic for the team and yourself as the manager? Some people may have rare skills hard to replace, some people may have knowledge of the legacy systems and company internals, some people are just dead weight, some are on really important projects that you need done, others are not. Any combination thereof. Estimate whom to keep in priority.
Your serious? Her being a politician should EXCLUDE her opinion on the mater as completely irrelevant... she is not an expert and therefore her opinion is as relevant as Trump's = irrelevant!!! Wake up!
Also, not that I necessarily think this way, but parents are told that working less won’t impact their ratings. And since the distribution of ratings is usually fixed, that effectively means you won’t get rewarded for picking up the slack from others. (Or in the case of Facebook it means everybody got the same rating regardless of how much/well they worked).

Not necessarily due to just the parental policies, but I do believe Covid negatively affected my career progression as someone in my early career. I wouldn’t take my anger out on parents and would instead direct it at my company’s policies (and not just regarding parental leave). But I can see why someone might see others on their immediate team “benefitting” from the pandemic - not that they truly are, but that they are doing less work directly for the company - and take out their frustrations on them
> but I've never heard of anyone having say, an alternator go bad, have an aftermarket part blamed for it, then taking the dealer to court over it and winning.

Have you ever heard of someone having an alternator go bad and then the dealer blaming an aftermarket part on it in the first place?

I've never had dealers seek out aftermarket modifications when I get service done at all. They just want to get cars in & out quickly, and they bill the manufacturer for warranty work anyway so why would they care if you had related aftermarket modifications? They only push back if they think they won't get reimbursed by the manufacturer for the warranty work. Which would tend to require "obvious" data showing modifications as a likely suspect.

Tesla changes this by having the service centers also be owned by the same company footing the bill. So this is likely to be way more common of a battle going forward, though.
You can move to a place with no income tax. Now, you might argue that is impractical, but so getting a non-shit job for many people.

I happen to think the government should impose taxes, and tax evasion is a moral failing, but I also recognized people were born into a contract with the government, and I'm not going to argue that's fair.

If you want secure email on Google you can always use GPG with IMAP or Mailvelope. Additionally, for Drive storage you can use rclone with a crypt overlay.
A pandemic is exactly how life goes. Barely more than one lifetime ago we had the Spanish Flu, WW1, WW2, multiple market crashes, and so on. Global warming is likely to cause more situations like those in the coming years.

Much of this pandemic is overrated. My friends and family aren’t socially distanced. Parks and beaches are actually open. Vacations are very easy and very popular. Social interaction is not a risk for the vast majority of healthy people.

If you’re scared of it, fine. Everyone in my life is not, and life is quite normal.
Not many people have children without knowing it will disrupt their lives.

On the other hand, not many people planned on a pandemic that would cause almost the entire support structure for having children to disappear.
Honestly how prevalent is this hate? I haven't really seen it.

To me this comes off as another clickbaity "let's bash on techbros" article.
The problem is that the people who back reopening are also against precautions that would make reopening safer. If I could trust the random people I'll encounter to wear their masks correctly and stay home if they're sick, maybe I would feel safe going out again. But instead politics has emboldened these people to behave in ways that put the people around them at more risk than necessary.
So has the cost of caring for old people but they don't complain about that.
Well, I couldn’t include the entire history of India in a HN comment. I didn’t include Bangladesh as the initial question was related to regional tensions and Indian-Bangladeshi relations are pretty good, as compared to Indian-Pakistani ones.

I also said mostly which most commenters seem to be missing. In any case, I only made the comment to point out Aurangzeb, not engage in a debate on British India.
no, you don't understand. This is the trial. If he gets to the USA he'll "commit suicide" in a cell, or have some weird show trial where he confesses to everything. There's zero chance that the USA will actually conduct a fair trial, and set him free if he's found to do have done nothing except embarrass powerful people. This is his last chance. The British justice system was supposed to be incorruptible, and blind. Not so much now.
The problem I have with ProtonMail or ProtonVPN is that they rely upon Neustar to handle all of their perimeter security, meaning that every single client that accesses their services will be inspected by Neustar, which IMO defeats the purpose. At the moment, I don't trust Neustar, and presume they're a US military contractor (located in Virginia).
I am charmed by kids popping into meeting backgrounds on zoom. They tend to speed up standups, and that's a good thing.
The BLM tribe has safer Covid behaviour in general than the other side, though, outside their protest attendance. That's a pretty big confounding variable.

What? Moscow lockdowns were some of the harshest outside East Asia.
>“The only time you look in your neighbor's bowl is to make sure that they have enough. You don't look in your neighbor's bowl to see if you have as much as them.”

So then pay me 40% more and tell the parents not to look at my bowl.

That's hypothetical because I have a small kid myself. But that quote is sucker talk. Demand that you are compensated for the value you provide because none of these mega corps give a shit about you. They will fire you the moment that it becomes profitable for them to do so.
It's outright ludicrous how a private company is able to introduce a law that prevents a government agency from doing its job.
