I'm full month at work after having "1 year" of paternity leave (actually was working 40hrs per month), government paid.

I’ve been solo freelancing for over a decade. I focus on smaller companies and non-profits that don’t need, can’t afford, can’t hire full-time IT staff. It’s mostly system admin and maintaining/enhancing web sites, but I get new development too. I have multiple long-term clients. Learning business domains and most of all prompt communication are key.

I work through an agency now (since 2013) but have my own clients as well. I never use online freelancer sites or job boards — contacts and word of mouth work much better.

I know several other freelancers doing similar work, or specializing in security or app development. Plenty of work if you can look past the SV startups and don’t insist on using your favorite language, rewriting everything from scratch, and never talking to an actual person.

"Naoned", that is to say Nantes, has never been Breton speaking. Same for Rennes. They were part of the March of Brittany set up to specifically defend against the Bretons, but they successfully annexed it in the commotion left by the Norsemen. The court of Brittany became French-speaking when it moved there.

Also, nobody in Marseille writes "Marselha", If you want to do some out of place indigenous rights dog whistling, the proper orthography in Provencal is Marsiho. Normalized Occitan is of ill repute in Provence, and so is the associated Occitanism.
Not to put too fine a point on it: an idiot. As per the definition: a foolish or stupid person.

Imagine if you will, a society that didn't want to go extinct. A society that had discovered that birth rates were falling and that paternity leave was just one of many straightforward government sanctioned initiatives that could tip the balance.

Now imagine an individual or group that thought 5 days was enough. Yeah. About that.
When people tell me that paternity leave is bad for your career, I always tell them that being a dad has made me a better manager. And I've noticed the same transformation in others. More empathy, ability to
relativise, balance.

This of course nothing for the fact that bad employers may not see it that way.

Well, it seems to me that the SEC has been extremely lenient for some time now and it’s not exactly news. When was the last time a CEO of a big corp got busted, not to mention got jail time? It applies to the whole supervisory landscape in the US as well, not just the SEC. So I’m not sure how much it has to do with Musk’s perception in the popular culture. The “pedo” case maybe more so, but the SEC part I’m not so sure of.

So at least in Sweden you have a right to get back to "the same or equal position" after parental leave. And most people here are away much longer than 5 months.

Most mothers take one year off. And most other half probably are in the 8-12 months as well.
In the USA, the cost of paternity leave have to be fully paid by the company? I thought it would be paid by both together (government and employer) at least.

My paternity leave was fully paid by the government, but it was capped. Moreover the amount of paid months is limited and I had to share them with my wife.
Scary that it has to come to this. The pandemic has vividly demonstrated how close we are even in "developed" countries to barbarism and mob rule.
"Values reported by employees over the past few years" is very different from "ranges used internally by employer today". In particular, levels.fyi can be very out of date.
The Germany is offering generous 12+2 months paid leave. The only problem is that during that time the parental money (Elterngeld) is limited up to 1800€. It’s like one third of the former salary, so that’s perfect hidden barrier and I seriously hate this. I am jealous about hearing friends and relatives being offered 1-3 months fully paid leave by their American employers. Having mortgage and baby a parental leave is impossible and couple paid months at home with family would be super cool.

> Mobile interfaces displayed on a desktop look like ultra-simplified toys and desktop interfaces displayed on mobile are too dense

I'm talking about consistency, not copy pasting. Google's Material Design is sufficiently consistent that switching between mobile and desktop ( web) is fine

> The article/thread is about native vs. web UIs on desktop platforms so not sure how mobile is even relevant

Indeed, but one of the main points for native UI on desktop is for native OS UX consistency, and my point is that i prefer app consistency cross platform over OS consistency. Especially when the most popular desktop OS changes its UX paradigm half-heartedly every few years.

Are you an Apple user per chance? Most people who seem to prefer "native" UX seem to prefer Apple's different way of doing UX, which i understand can be difficult when switching to a cross platform UI which is consistent between platforms and is closer to Windows and Linux UX than it is to Apple's.
But this isn't about entitlement; it's about society agreeing to set some extra rules to make life better for everyone. At the end of the day, you aren't entitled to anything at all: even the idea of not infringing on other peoples property is something we just all agreed on because it benefits everyone.

So why are you whining about "entitlement" here, but aren't also defending that "If you can take it, it's yours"?

What makes the situation worse is that there's a huge stigma/taboo against learning the social skills, especially for guys.

If you want to go on a diet, there are countless books/journals/courses that will help you out. If you want to exercise, or learn to draw, or to play chess, or any other skill, there's abundance of support and information.

But if you're nerdy and socially awkward, it's hard to get any mentorship/support without being labeled a creep. You're on your own, you either have to "get" it naturally (by having good parents, happy childhood, etc), or be shamed into staying away from the attractive and socially well-adjusted people.

Some of the most life-changing learning resources I've ever encountered (like RSD) are very difficult to recommend to people, so it's harder to help out the guys who are struggling the way I used to.
This has been going on for years, but under Xi the Communist Party has massively stepped up their propaganda drive. It's very concerning.

Yeah well, it's hard to make friends outside of work if you spent practically all your time there. It's exactly the same for women with 40+ hour work weeks.
I'm referring to the "share memory by communicating" idea mentioned in the article. I don't think channels are bad in general, but the way they work in Go leaves a lot to be desired.
I think the biggest consideration for young (up to middle aged or so..) males is self-defense against bullies. Where there will be unwritten rules to a degree.

Obviously it depends on the dojo, but the ones I've interacted with were genuinely concerned with real-world self-defense too, even if it wasn't their primary focus. So they included days and discussions that focused on it.
I'd say the opposite is true in terms of work: it's much easier to replace a waitress for a week/month/year of leave than it is an engineer or a project manager.

Google do it anyway because they and their employees like it and because they can afford to. The local restaurant could do it much MORE easily. But they have less profit margin (like you say). So we need a law to force them to do it, so everyone does it and puts their prices up to stay in business.

That's exactly why countries mandate it: mandating it allows less profitable companies to do it because they know their competitors have to as well.
Mega corporations capable of funding FDA trials buy patents and use them to create/produce drugs.

They do that sometimes. Other times they discover a drug chemistry, patent it, and then do nothing with it because they decide the market isn't profitable enough. That stops other companies bringing the same drug chemistry to the market. Patent trolls actively want people to exploit their patents in order to sue. I'm not sure which is more disagreeable.

And this x100 is one reason I don't want kids as a woman.
I feel like referring to this as 'error' is a mistake. It's not an error, it's a bias. As stated in the article, it can cut both ways, depending on your valence towards the person you're evaluating.

Sometimes an action is a consequence of a person's character, sometimes its situational, and sometimes it's a mixture of both. What we should do is recognize the bias, and try to weaken its grip a bit. We live in a comparatively low threat environment relative to what that prior is tuned for, and so it's reasonable to tone it down.

But that isn't the same as treating character attribution as uniformly wrong, or uniformly right.
Sure. But if the opportunity was available for more people to take paternal/maternal leave then the competitive advantage would reduce as others take up the leave themselves.

Only the childless would be at an advantage in the 'experience' world.

I'm not sure what you mean by "not work for men". In Sweden parental leave is just a normal part of society for both partners and it works great (indeed I'd go so far and say that all of my male colleagues that have gone on parental leave have all looked forward to it).

I think the main thing to make it work is just to have a society that values people being able to spend time with their children. If it is a normal everyday part of life where society supports it (for example financially) it works great.
fortunately not every company needs to raise money; nor is raising money even arguably a good thing if your objective isn't to maximise money.
AFAIK (not American) paid maternal or paternal leave isn't mandatory by labour laws/regulations, so yeah, it's up to the employer to offer it and pay for it. Logically, only the huge and very well off companies in competitive ( for employment) branches will do so because the others have little incentive to "waste" money on the matter.
> Often men's only friends are at work.

> Second thing is that men aren't really wired to take for the child.

Two things that I've never seen or heard of in my environment or in general, and things that seem deep into stereotype territory.

> As with social dynamics there are always some outliers

And sometimes, you are one of them!
In sweden you get an instant 10 days leave after birth, and then about 400 days more to split as you want between the parents. You get about 80% of your salary during this time, up to some breakpoint.
Grid feeding fossil fuel stations dump carbon into the air, but as part of a public service. Private non-grid fossil fuel stations should be taxed for the dumping of carbon.

> But you might miss out on your career: and that is logical… if you go away for 5 months, then your colleague who is ultra competitive and childless and was waiting for his chance will just snatch up your position and when you are back you will find yourself sidelined

Sure, and I assume this is part of the reason men (and women!) feel concerned about taking parental leave. The law has no effect on people's perceptions. But...

> you prioritised family, hence where your career will go from that point shouldn’t matter to you at all.

... this is just a false dichotomy. People don't have to choose between total dedication to one or the other, and it's quite possible (and practically achievable) to be good at both.

> Are people supposed to modify business objectives due to personal choices? If people do believe the answer is yes, we are entering the land of such deeply ingrained entitlement that to me that is the real problem.

You suggest it's entitlement when people want to have kids while also maintaining their careers, but I think you have it backwards - the real entitlement here is thinking you should be able to profit in a society that is fundamentally dependent on people who choose to raise another generation, while refusing to do so yourself or even acknowledge that what parents do is in general a service to society.

What do you think society would look like if everybody took your advice? The best minds would never want to reproduce, because they'd lose their careers, and many good minds who did choose to reproduce would be sidelined at great cost to their respective industries.
Have you watched yet or not?,One of the best dance video of 2021
Krav Maga minus the parts that are illegal or irrelevant to UFC basically _is_ MMA, which is unsurprising since the whole concept of the method since its inception in the 1940s is to collect effective and intuitive techniques from any martial art you can find. (Sort of a _mix_ of different martial arts, one might say...)

There's at least one successful mixed martial artist with a Krav Maga background (Karolina Kowalkiewicz, UKM Expert level 2), but she's definitely an outlier rather than the rule. Krav Maga tries to be a no-rules self-defense method that can be trained in as little time as possible. If your aim is to be a high-level competitor in a specific sport, and you have the required time and athletic ability to train appropriately, then your best bet is to skip the middleman and train in that sport directly.
As much as I'd prefer to be a baker or tradesman, I know you're not going to pay me anything near what you get for coding.

I'm interested in small-scale robot farms that take the drudgery out of distributed food growing, particularly in suburbia. Robotic pest control is the most exciting because it would be a nice application of computer vision and chemical free pest control. Gardens in general are good uses of food waste and recycled water; so if you could lower the barrier to entry and operational costs, they might become more common.
I just assume I'm overly familiar with it as someone who was a natural test-taker. (Early 30s)
I don't think that's a reasonable assumption - that if you're a mediocre developer you won't understand code written by a better developer.

Better code should largely be easier to understand.
Oh, that's very nice.

Note that the main control loops are running at 100Hz, and the adaptation is running at 10Hz. That makes sense.

I was working on this problem back in the early 1990s, when we had to do it via control theory. This new way is better. Having a few more orders of magnitude worth of compute power, (the robot seems to have a Raspberry Pi 4 on board) and 25 years of machine learning progress helps.

It seems to be purely reactive, though. They haven't yet moved to running with significant air time, which requires projecting ahead to the landing. That's been done for some special cases, mostly backflips and such, but the agility of a running horse or a basketball player will require projecting ahead.

This will come. Enough people are working on it now.

Assuming that this solves those things at all, I'm not so sure.
Yeah same story in NZ. You can take a decent parental but the payout is limited ($500 NZD/pw). Of course, you need a cap but you might end up leaving quite a lot on the table.

And on top of that, your value of your annual also depreciates ("You work only half a year full salary, so your annual leave is now 1/2 its origina value")...
Raw throughout isn’t the same as speed.

The senior might spend more time doing PRs (juniors might not feel as comfortable), more time in meetings discussing new projects or architecting around arising problems. A junior is generally more enthusiastic so might voluntarily work longer hours to close of tickets, or just take fewer coffee breaks than a senior. A senior might also spend a portion of their time training juniors.

I’m not saying a senior engineer can’t be a prolific at closing off tickets as a junior, but more seniority means more responsibility and that often means less time writing code.

But there are also occasions when I might genuinely expect a senior to be slower. Like if they’re in their mid to late 30s and have young children who aren’t sleeping. People say you shouldn’t bring your home problems to work but the reality is that we are not robots and if you’re not sleeping at home then you’re performance at work will suffer. Whereas most 20-somethings have fewer commitments outside of work.

If we are talking really senior, like 60s, then a sad fact of reality is our mental faculties aren’t going to be as sharp as they were when we were in our 20s. So it might take an engineer a little longer to solve complex problems than someone fresh out of uni. Particularly if it’s an academic problem that one might have studied at uni but seldom need in your career.

So there are plenty of mitigating factors that might affect the throughput of a senior engineer. But that doesn’t matter but you hire them for their experience rather than their youthful motivation. And it’s also why it is important to have a balanced team of junior and seniors.
I think you are confused. I suggest you read up on this stuff. It's really fascinating, but you're not using the words right. Cheers, and good night.
Yes, and there's enough time for both - work is 35-40 hours, maybe some overtime if you're really dedicated. Even at 50 ( too much IMHO), with 54 for sleep (7x8), that still leaves you 68 for family.

>This removes any opportunity to nudge more people toward getting the shots, he added.“The whole idea behind a good vaccination campaign is making not getting vaccinated the harder choice, and getting vaccinated the easy choice. Right now it’s the exact opposite — it’s easier not to be vaccinated."

So people are supposed to be "nudged" into it? And they are supposed to do it because it is easier, as opposed to safer? So have these people already written off the idea of convincing people that vaccinating is the safer alternative?

I mean, it appears that they are not even trying. But I guess it makes sense, because convincing people is harder, and when you can just put mandates for everything in place, and there is no opposition from people, it is much easier.
helpful but I certainly hope levels are based on individual skills and not just years of experience!
