I'm so, so sorry. I lost my mother to a different but similar terminal illness several years ago and I know how hard this is. It took her about ~4 years to die after the diagnosis and I'll share what I learned.

One of the ways this can be made worse is if you stop engaging in sufficient self care. Make sure you continue to get some exercise, bath daily, stay hydrated, eat good food, get enough sleep, and stand in the sun every day (in many ways humans are just more complicated house plants). This won't make everything better, but not doing it can get you depressed quite quickly.

You should first accept that your work output is probably just going to lower and forgive yourself for it. Ask for help with from friends, and if you can afford it consider buying help with some of the daily tasks and chores. It sounds like this is the first few days, in which case I'd guess this will be one of the low points of the experience. It probably won't always be this bad, but you should be prepared to feel this way several more times throughout the process. Try to understand the level of support you need during this time so you can ask for it again.

If you can find someone who will lend you an ear outside of your family, talk to them about what you're going through. Talking through your emotions will help you process them and decrease how much they interfere with your day.

Conversely, within the family you probably want to minimize conversation about your mother's illness and talk more about happier things. This won't always be possible, and your family members may need you to be their ear while they cope, but try to watch for conversations repeating themselves. People often get into grieving spirals where they rehash the same sad points over and over; engaging directly isn't helpful, you want to switch to talking about happier memories.

It's not clear to me how good or bad your mother's diagnosis is, but if things turn for the worse I recommend you and your family read the article How Doctor's Die[0]. This informed my family on how we'd handle her treatment, deciding not to go for maximum intervention, and I'm so happy we did. Both for her, and for us.

Best of luck, remember, this too shall pass.

Controversially: Comic Sans. It turns out to be very readable for short bits of text, especially for people with dyslexia.
I own a 5D4 and an R5. I haven't really used the R5 more than a few times, but I'm already having a hard time going back to my 5D4, between features and everything. Battery is less of an issue for me because I've typically used the battery grip, on either.

For more compact travel stuff, I bought a Leica Q a few years ago, that has a fixed 28mm.

There's something about picking the names for your kids that is just so fun and special. For those of you for whom this app may be relevant, I hope you have even half as much fun as my wife and I did picking names.

Ever since my wife was little, she had a particular name chosen for her son. So when we got pregnant, we already knew what the boy name would be. But we had fun coming up with a girl name, and that fun was both serious fun imagining a world in which we'd have a Megan or a Lily or a Lydia or whatever, and it was also very playful and ridiculous. We would one-up each other with what we thought were ridiculous names that just don't make sense (given our language, culture, etc.).

So then our son was born, and she got her wish for the name she's always wanted. Then when we got pregnant again, we got to go through the fun a second time around. One day, when my dad was over and was playing with our toddler, my wife and I were joking about silly names. "What about X if it's a girl? What about Y if it's a boy?" I got a call that night from my mom, very concerned.

"Have... have you decided on baby names? ... What did you decide?" I told her the two names we had (seriously) decided on. "Oh. Your father thought he heard some very bizarre names that you were thinking about." We had to explain our little game to her so she understood the situation.

My sympathies. My father has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a few months ago. He's lost a ton of weight and energy and has had a few minor endoscopic procedures and one by-pass surgery (tumor closed off end of his stomach).

What's help me the most is how my father has dealt with it. He has the best attitude of anyone I've heard of with this condition. He's always positive. (Maybe that is not much help for you, but it's at least something to consider.)

Another thing that helped me was seeing him take control of his time and energy instead of having it dictated to him. He did very light chemo early on, 3 weeks. And I've never seen him so low in my life. First time ever that he didn't meet me at the door when I visited. He didn't get up one time when I visited.

He stopped chemo (his choice) and his hair is getting color back finally, and he's been doing better.

Talking with him every day about normal life things has made the situation bearable and dare I say, mundane, for now.

If I was in your shoes, I'd get your mom to be able to live as normal a life as possible with the time she has left. Everything that drags her down should be set aside. I help my father with chores and small activities, and I have come to accept that this is likely that last days I will have with him.

All our parents are going to die, it's life, might as well have the last days be as decent as possible. It's hard to suggest not taking treatments, but quitting chemo is what turned my father from a zombie back into his nearly normal self. He may die faster this way, but he's able to spend the time he has left some what normally.

Again, I am sorry you are having to face this. I am blessed that my father is not suffering severe pain right now, and I hope you and your mother find some comfort.
Because they will get the data regardless of what you do and if you don't make an API it will cost you more due to overhead.

When someone blames "capitalism" for something, what they usually mean is that they'd like if this thing didn't happen, but don't have any concrete proposal for preventing it. It's equivalent to blaming "society"

Don't worry, I've read it. Staff at Johns Hopkins have also produced this summary:

https://ncrc.jhsph.edu/research/the-impact-of-community-mask...

>The outcome measure– the proportion of individuals who reported symptoms and who tested positive for antibodies– is a poor proxy for actual SARS-CoV-2 infections during the study period. Moreover, only 40% of those reporting SARS-CoV-2 symptoms consented to providing a blood sample for antibody testing. If there were systematic differences between intervention and control villages in the proportion of antibody-positive individuals among the >60% of symptomatic individuals who were not tested, the results would be biased.

>It is unclear whether the serological assay used to assess the primary outcome was validated in the population under study, or when serological measurements were taken relative to symptom onset. Furthermore, using symptomatic seroprevalence as an outcome means that authors could not distinguish between effects on infections and on symptom severity. Another key limitation is that the persons recording the behavior data could not be blinded to whether the village was a control or intervention arm, leaving open the possibility that data recorders could have been influenced by knowledge of the study arm.
Isn't another school of thought that life imprisonment is also a form of torture? Being confined for up to 60-70 years with no hope of release is also a quite bleak future.
I've been getting lots of ads about IHP on reddit lately. The ads are really bad, which led me to believe IHP would be of equally bad quality, but looking at IHP homepage now I'll just have to try it out sometime.
Now, I have some questions. As a user, why should I use IHP instead of Yesod or Servant? Can I create rest and especially graphql apis or is it more focused on building old-school server side rendered pages?

It's a hard question, I was lucky to have some private school but for my high school years it was public and a complete waste.

Religion for the schools I went too weren't that enforced, but I would say ask other parents, there should be a good tour of the school included, and then check out the clubs they offer.

"Better" though, is hard. I would just review how they teach STEM - interview the teachers with open ended questions and see how they respond.

One big PLUS though is the networking, private school, the peers/kids are usually from "better*" (for lack of a better word.) off families so that could mean better success, even if religious.

It's hard to quantify it, but the friends I made from my private school days helped me tremendously learn so many different things - how life is different for the truly well off, to community, and "success".

It sounds odd writing it like this, but in the USA many kids in school are there because it is compulsory and it is not a profit center, it is a cost center, bigger classrooms per teacher, smaller campuses, food not healthy, and draconian rules like no water bottles in class or other.

Of course it does depend per school, but those pain points about public school, can be taken to see if you can find a proper private school.

And if you do, I would get the most of your dollar and do the parent events too - meet the other parents and strike bonds that may really last your childs lifetime.

Isn't this more like a network says "if you run this ad on your nice-and-fluffy-site, we'll pay you $x" and the nice-and-fluffy-site says "yep, we'll run this ad on our site" but runs this ad on TPB instead ?

I.e. as far as I understood the particular situation described by OP, the breach of contract happens between the site and network, not between the network and advertiser.
When you have a large enough number of qualified
candidates, you look for any reason you can to
justify why you picked one person over everyone else.

Yes. Also, a lot of companies operate under the principle of, "It's better to turn away ten good engineers than hire one bad one."
Thank you so much! I had left the “explore” list completely unfiltered so you could always see all names, but it would be trivial to add a checkbox or something to apply the active filters; I’ll definitely add that!
I wonder how Linux users with Proton are affected by these.
Counterpoint: pages like this are awesome because they give the reader options! Rather than the website author forcing whatever they want on the reader, readers can read as they please.

- I see you know about Water.css: I've used the 'waterize' bookmarklet on pages like this. Similarly for Sakura.
- Most browsers have a reader mode, and it works perfectly with this page, as you point out.
- Pages like this work really well when printing, either to paper or PDF. Most websites just don't.
- The total size of the page is...44k.

Overall, I actually prefer pages like this. Ironically, I wouldn't publish my own writing this way because so many people have the reaction you have; I guess I realize I'm in the minority on this one.
Of course there is a distribution of talent in any industry and geography. However, in my experience, there are dev cultural attitudes (especially DIY-ness) that make Eastern Europe and Russia ideal for hacking.

Example: I had a relatively complex ticket with a new dev to my team located in Russia with sparse documentation. I scheduled a call to do a deep-dive how the system works and I got a rather laconic reply:

"Why need call? I will read the code."
Presumably though that involves image layers and an image-layer-aware filesystem so that they don’t actually have to have more than one copy of the common image per execution machine, and just have to send around the customer’s overlay diff? Maybe they don’t bother and just pass the whole thing around, but this is a solved problem in the wider world for distributing a large number of large OCI images that are substantially similar.
When I was a child I used to ask my mother what her name was when she was a child too. I just couldn't imagine/believe someone would have that/her name as and be 10 years old at the same time.

I don't really like my name and I think adults should be able to choose their names without big hassle. Not choosing where you're born is already too much of a control-giveup haha
> When hospitals are filling up COVID measures are necessary.

They are only "necessary" if you are optimizing the metric "make sure hospitals run smoothly" over any other concerns.

I hate this framing that Covid restrictions are ever forced on us, rather than being a policy choice with pros and cons.
Your analogy perfectly defeats your point.

The alternative to drinking hemlock tea is not drinking hemlock tea.

You can't not pick an economic system of organization. Even if you don't pick one, you will have one. So the question becomes "what's the best choice available?"

To choose "not capitalism" is still choosing something -- something which may work much worse.
Up to a point. Such reactors hit a size threshold above which they violently explode, leaving a dense, radioactive core that cannot be disposed of.
Same! I always thought I was alone in feeling this way. When I first heard the phrase "baby names", I first understood it as that: a name used for people while they are still a baby. I was confused for many years until I realized that it was just a query for popular names for your newborn. I feel there should be a more descriptive phrase for it, or simply refer to it as name popularity. I'm not familiar with a culture where people legally change their name as they get older, but I don't think it would make a statistical dent. Almost all people keep the name they are born with, correct?
Two non-surprises here:

> We currently have exactly two backend engineers. A single Haskell engineer can support a 2:3+:1 data:FE:BE developer ratio and still have free BE time.

1) That they have 1-2 Haskell developers.

2) That backend is very straightforward once you separate it from data engineering and frontend, because you don't have to deal with hardware or wetware (pesky "side effects") like those other poor sods. This applies to virtually any popular backend language.

Yet another confirmation that pure functional langs work great when its just one or two buddies working on a "pure programming" project, but evidence remains scant of their real world utility beyond that.
SPARC is very important, but it's a physics demonstration facility, not a reactor. Its not going to generate any electricity. CFS (SPARC's parent company) will use SPARC to demonstrate that their magnet technology and plasma physics can be scaled to a reactor -- I think they're aiming for 2030 or 2035 to 'put electrons on the grid' with their 'ARC' reactor. SPARC stands for 'smallest possible ARC'.

Compared to CFS's approach, Helion's approach is different in two or three key ways.

First, it's a different fusion reaction, which has important engineering consequences. The reaction that Helion wants to use generates fewer damaging neutrons, which makes the rest of the reactor easier to engineer and eliminates several tricky subsystems.

Second, it's a different geometry, which does not require huge powerful steady-state superconducting magnets. However, it does require very fast magnets.
It's a pulsed machine (they would fire several shots per second; each shot lasts on the order a milliseconds if I recall). So it requires more pulsed power systems and the components may need a different kind of high-repetition lifecycle testing.

Third, they want to use a 'direct energy conversion' scheme, which means eliminating the need for gas turbines (i.e. steam turbines) coupled to generators. This is important since the heat exchangers and turbines make up very roughly half the cost of a traditional power plant, so this would allow the electricity price to be lower by about a factor of two!
Yeah ComboBox is one of the most difficult. We wrote a post about the work that went into ours. https://react-spectrum.adobe.com/blog/building-a-combobox.ht...
As already written they are already part of China. They don't want to be part of the PRC, as has been the case since 1949.

That's why there is internally (in Taiwan) a struggle of opinions between this and "independence".

Trying to ignore that 'China' is not the same as 'PRC' is disingenuous at some point... Like claiming that Taiwan was never a province of China...
Are you originally from Africa? I'd put Lagos very near the bottom of places to live from what I've heard, but I'm sure it would be "exciting". If I was single I'd probably pick something like Pucon, Chile ( a beautiful town with great kayaking / outdoors ), Beachburg, Ottawa in the summer for kayaking, NZ for the beautiful environment and low population density.

As I'm not single and have a family to attend to I'd probably stay where I am or move to a village in the Peak District (UK).
I am sorry to hear of this. I have been though a similar situation with my wife. She was diagnosed in early 30s and it was completely unexpected. About 6-7 year in retrospect, she managed through the surgeries/chemo fairly well. Being young is an advantage in that regard. Also, it was detected early and had a high chance of survival. Her mom was also retired and young enough to help with the daily stuff and general companionship during the processes. Even though it makes no real difference, you’ll find yourself wanting to be present at every treatment, doctors appointment, etc. And, it’s very difficult if you’re healthy and trying to minimize impact on your personal career.

All said, we had it very “easy”. But that didn’t lessen the impact it had on my psyche. The diagnosis and decisions about treatments put us in a cloud for easily 3 months (could hardly carry a conversation at work). Even after that, it took me about a full year to really feel like anything at work was even important. I coasted for probably 2 years all said. My work was extremely supportive and I offloaded much of my responsibilities. It was probably something similar to a depressive state. I disconnected from almost anything not related to family. Even now, I have not jumped back into my career full stop. I enjoyed the balanced pace and have only went after opportunities that aligned with that. (Probably common to what many people are doing now that it’s “post”-COVID). I view this as a silver lining along with the big silver lining of it pushing us to decide we actually did want a kid (we now have a 3yo).

If you’re the breadwinner and have a demanding job that does not tolerate lower performance, just be honest with yourself on your priorities and be proactive to leave on good terms and find the job that will work for you. What I learned most of all is, there are big things that happen in life that will force you to rip up your game plan and pivot. This is what worked for me. I met several people along the way that said they dealt with it by diving deeper into work. They found it a good distraction I suppose. But for me at least, that’s a recipe for regret and I never thought that made sense. I wish you good luck and hope my perspective/experience gives you food for thought at least. Email me if you want to chat (in profile).
I suspect that these benchmarks largely prove that the Linux kernel is better at multi-processing and scheduling than any of the Async Python offerings so far.
We named each of our kids beginning with the letter M. My hope was that it would become ridiculous and my wife would want to stop having babies. Didn’t work. She wants the 4th.
I think you have cause and effect inverted. Gangsta Rap was a response to racial tension and distrust of police.

Or maybe I’m wrong, maybe NWA caused the LAPD to brutalize Rodney King.
Well, window is the default global scope, so it can't be sealed or any top-level declarations wouldn't work. You'd have to create a new global scope to be able to seal window, and that would break large swaths of the web.
How's Ramp? Is it simple to use?
> It has no reason to. Reading the same location twice, even atomically, has no “reason” to change the value so reusing the same read is perfectly valid.

No, this is definitely not how atomics with memory orderings work. If you do two atomic reads, the CPU will do two load instructions. Neither the compiler or the CPU is allowed to optimize this.

> and i’d think an mmio implementation which reorders mmio reads is completely broken.

This is exactly how ARM SoCs work. The CPU core does not know if a load address is mmio or not and may reorder the loads as it sees fit. It's up to the memory subsystem to deal with this, the CPU core does not care.

I've done lots of mmio code on ARM at $work in the past few years, and we've spent a lot of time to make sure we have all our memory barriers right. They are quite tricky on ARMv8, as mmio can be either on the system bus or the main memory bus which need distinct kinds of memory barriers.

Using volatile in mmio code on modern CPUs is almost certainly a bug. Some microcontrollers may be an exception.
