It's actually not that difficult for childless people to imagine what having kids is like. What I imagined before I had kids was pretty close to what it ended up being once I had them.

I also don't think I've ever experienced my fellow parents feeling sorry for somebody our age without kids. It's more often jealousy than anything else. A lot of people have kids because it's just the next thing you do and then they end up regretting it.
Maybe the M1s are better. I have a 2019 MacBook Pro. And two external screens, maybe that makes a difference. It was especially bad after upgrading to Monterey.

I don't "parrot" the claim. I've experienced the problem. It's day and night. After installing Monterey I couldn't run MS Teams on the external monitors anymore. It more or less locked up and I couldn't move the window back to the laptop screen. This was repeatable.

The whole problem went away when I selected 1440p (the "low resolution" one). It's fugly, but at least I can actually use my other monitors.
The government doesn’t actually do this. Your eligibility for such loans is means-tested and you’re only obtaining them at a discounted rate. And they cannot be discharged during bankruptcy in most cases.

It’s like saying home mortgages are free money because they’re also partially backed by the fed.
Probably not globally, every country will be different, though I suspect a similar thing is playing out across numerous western countries. My knowledge is of the American educational system.
You have time. You're 35. Realistically that means you've probably worked about 10 years and still have about 30 to go. Relax. You've got some money saved; I was in a similar situation a few years ago and took a sabbatical year. Maybe that works for you. Just do nothing for a bit but enjoy the outside world, disconnect, read philosophy. That really gave me a lot of peace and led to a career change and a lot of understanding about what I find important in life.
I agree in a sense, but I was initially responding to someone who said the game was "useless" without this, which in my experience is just not true and rude itself (and most people I know don't understand the rules of how it handles doubles)

The "didn't care" part was referring to my initial research, and not the fix. In my top level comment, I mentioned this was a quick couple hour project.

I didn't mind the initial criticism. Like I said before, I found it interesting.
Being a teacher just keeps getting worse and worse as a job.

It was bad enough when the worst parts of the job were standardized testing, and that you were paid little and had to spend your own money on school supplies for your classroom.

Then it got worse when school shootings became so commonplace that bulletproof backpacks and active shooter drills became a thing. Of course you still have to pay for your own school supplies, but now you also have to pay for body armor, ammo for target practice, and therapy.

Now there's covid, and it's more of a shitshow than it's ever been. Inability to find substitutes. Bus driver shortages. Staff shortages. Faculty shortages. Even though there's a vaccine, there's no mandates for vaccination. Here's a running tally of educators and staff in Georgia who have died since July [1]. The average age of 42 teachers on this list who have died is 46 years old. FORTY SIX! The youngest was in their 20s!

And then on top of it all, if you think that maybe your workplace is dangerous for you as your colleagues drop dead around you, and you'd prefer to teach from home or at least offer some protections at work, then you are called lazy and unamerican by parents in your district. If you hold the opinion that there should be a vaccine mandate at your workplace you are called a Nazi. Meanwhile, legislators are working to pass laws empowering students to sue you personally (for an amount which is maybe 25-30% of your annual salary) if they feel what you're teaching goes against their religious beliefs [2]. You have a moral panic over Critical Race Theory which has metastasized into rumblings about book burnings [3], and moral busybodies combing their way through your library...

Yeah, it's no wonder teachers are leaving and it's hard to find replacements.

How do you keep yourself relevant if your competitors are using it?
I know if I received tens of thousands of duplicate texts or emails I'd divide the count by 10^n to estimate the real will for change. Or ignore them entirely. This is slacktivism.
Starlink?

Between Starlink and LTE/5G, that seems to be less and less each yes. (Which is good for everyone.)
Depends on the congress critter probably. Just guessing that as younger individuals are elected to office, responses to digital might become more accepted. Also, take into consideration that the elected person's office is typcially staffed by younger people that are going to be much more inclined to reading a digital message vs and envelope that may or may not include more than just a harshly worded letter.

When you try and obfuscate the fact that it is a purchased product, it makes one a hustler. This is no different than the many click-bait sites that offer -free- stuff that are actually purchased items.

+1, it’s why the “good guys with guns” stuff doesn’t work; more guns = more shootings, e.g. https://www.businessinsider.com/gun-control-research-conceal...

People will argue this until they’re blue in the face, but pulling a deadly weapon out escalates the situation, when de-escalation would likely lead to a less physically harmful outcome.
When you comment anything that goes against the hacker fantasy… that all of a sudden the world discovers a genius amongst his github code and throws money and awards at him out of good will to honor his genius as if he was the next donald knuth or something then prepare to get downvoted.
If you're not looking to get hired, and you are looking to help people using your software skills, does that mean you'd take suggestions for free software projects to work on?
Hmmm honestly this sounds interesting. I assumed senators and such just played it by ear.

Do you have personal experience with how these are calculated or used? Good to know that some reps are actually using data haha.

Given that candidate lost the popular vote by the greatest margin in history yet still "won" the election, ended his presidency with the lowest popularity rating in history, was the least emotionally and intellectually capable president we've probably ever had, systematically destroyed everything he could touch in the federal government (including a public health surveillance and assistance system that could have helped detect covid far earlier), literally withheld supplies from states he lost in the prior election, spent more time on vacation than any of his modern predecessors, and responded to losing the election by encouraging violent public insurrection and engaging in numerous conspiracies to subvert the election certification process by fraud...yes?

That said, I don't see how this text widget is going to do anything.

You missed the point, that those locomotives will only be used in the yard (shuffling wagons). It's not gonna work to long-haul using battery power (too low power density).

We already have all of this. The government can tell your bank to do something, and your bank will do it. What a government digital currency would do is end the subsidy of banks as the only "safe" place to park money. If I have a government account with my money, banks don't get to gamble with it for their own benefit. If I want to do that, I could withdraw the cash from where it is safe and consciously put it at risk, rather than the government backstopping the finance industry.

If government bits are just the beginning of a banning of cash, that's the real problem; but there's no reason they can't ban cash now.

The benefit to some sort of government semi-distributed ledger would be that independent people could set up ATMs. Otherwise, I'd just be happy with postal checking/savings. We already have a bunch of post offices.
The SubPac for me. Better than a sub, doesn't bother the neighbors, and people often use the term gamechanger with it.

They should take it up with their unions. We could probably pay good teachers what they are worth if we had a market for them. But we don’t. Unions negotiate their pay and unions exist to protect the group, not individuals.

So, good teachers who want to be rewarded on merit should seek to abolish their unions and abolish public schools generally speaking. Let parents compete for the best teachers in part by using taxes to fund children and not administrations and unions.
Strongly agree. Online dating can feel super unnatural & somewhat demeaning compared to organic convos, the typical meat market analogy seems apt.

Funnily enough, I threw together a landing page a couple of days ago [1] to run Google Ads and gauge whether there's wider interest in a solution that would avoid you having to come up with a "hook" + reinvigorate those sparks you mention.

The thought so far is that you'd fill out a pretty invasive character assessment that would be analysed by AI + professional matchmakers to set up one date a month for you with another user (who you won't see or speak to until you actually meet in person).

The Logitech MX Ergo "thumb ball" mouse. A normal mouse requires your entire arm to move to make the mouse operate properly. You might notice that the repetitive motion can cause muscle pain all the way from your shoulder blade, through your neck, down your arm to your wrist. A thumb ball requires just your thumb to move and makes life a lot easier on your arm. It takes two to three hours to transfer your motor memory skills from the standard mouse to the thumb ball and after that you're away to the races.
Yes! And it is recently - ish new but great!!
Yeah i was pretty ashamed that our elite university ETH was super exited about hyperloop.....

Well it's good if you have husky's and a sledge ;) for wheels probably not so good.
It's not obfuscated, the landing page says the following under the section "License".

You need to read some philosophy. Find new and rewarding ways to reframe your life journey.
The Stoics are the experts of moving past troubles and and reframing events in n a practical and/or positive way. Alan Watts was all about viewing everything as a joyful and entertaining whole. “Four Thousand Weeks” is a recent and practical book that aims to get over the idea of achievements and efficiency and get to enjoying moments in life and rediscovering what is meaningful to us.

Just a few getting started ideas here.
I figured everyone who knew and cared enough about rust would recognise the "crates.io" url ;)
Well, that's sort of why I asked the question. The poster may blame the parents for not teaching their children; or may blame the parents for hamstringing the schools' ability to foster a respectful environment.

I was successful in raising a respectful child. However, I also pulled him out of two very negative school environments (one public, one private).

Regardless of what lessons I taught him, I am sure it would not have been easy to encourage that respect if he had remained in an environment where he was not respected and where he saw adults and children alike treated with disrespect without consequence.

The people of Australia get to vote in 4 months for a new government. If people really hated the covid restrictions as much as you, then they will get rid of the people who implemented them.

I think what is worse is the fact that it is not a "one file app", and rather a php script that pulls in many js scripts of the net.

More upfront than under the "License" section on the landing page?
It's trivial to create a lookalike audience based off your site's traffic, even if there's no pre programmed category. You just put up some content that you know for a fact will attract a given group, promote it to a wide audience, and then create a lookalike audience based on people who clicked the link (or some more specific conversion metric).

That said, the examples of ads you've posted seem more like attempts to get some attention by acting strange. Perhaps you're being shown low-bidders and that simply exposes you to total randoms rather than the usual polished ads. I experimented a bit with rock bottom bids and the engagement would often be from bizarre looking accounts. I'm guessing it may go both ways.

Even if advertisers are targeting you on this, they still need to outbid others. You don't need to completely change the data they have on you. You only need one new signal that attracts higher bids from some other category of advertisers. Merely changing your IP address or mobile device might be enough.

Also if you really saw your name or username in these ads then why worry about being targeted for a history of mental illness related stuff. If that's true then you've got a much bigger problem.
I mean so could the US invasion of Mexico… it could… not likely by omg it definitely could
I just do not understand why certain "left leaning" officials cannot accept they were wrong. It is how science works.

Just say - "we were wrong by claiming that vaccinated cannot spread COVID so we will lift COVID restrictions". Also since data shows that it is unlikely that kids will get sick we will lift mask mandate in schools.

But data clearly shows that "vaccinated people are less likely to get seriously ill". So please do get vaccinated. ASAP.

Very simple - just follow science and maybe, just maybe, you will be able to convert some people to belive the science.
I figured with COVID-19 coming so hot on the heels of those measles outbreaks we would have seen the death of the anti-vaccination movement.

That said, I thought the internet would be the end of pseudoscience, but there's apparently no profit in debunking pseudoscience like there is promoting it.
Can you really blame the people that are spoon fed fearporn from the media everyday and in a constant state of stockholm syndrome, while also being led to believe we live in a two-party state (right vs left), from picking a side? They are victims too but just don't know it yet.
If anything, the facts they presented seem to go against their case. A salary of $65k is not low. Compared to the median US income, it is quite good. Especially depending on the local cost of living, as you point out.
More like a chess game where you can't do en passant. I don't think that makes it useless.

Apparently having a very small army didn't help when Jefferson's party wanted a war. I guess they over-rated state militias?

A lot of the founders' ideas didn't work out they way they hoped. (For example, they tried to prevent political parties and failed utterly.)

When people quote American founders out of context, it's as if it settles things, but they were just making it up at the time, often based just on what sounds good. Jefferson in particular was often a rather impractical man, but a popular politician who promoted a lot of bad ideas (and a few good ones) that made for good politics at the time. He's hardly the only one.
lot of people get through life without ever realizing we're all running on a hedonic treadmill. There's good times and bad times wherever you are in life.

Just appreciate that you're alive because as long as thats true, the story continues.
Why steering wheels of most small-medium boats are on the right?
I've owned 3 teslas. On each of them I have chosen not to pre-pay $10,000 CAD in order to get access to FSD when it is available. 2 of those cars I owned and sold before FSD was even available.

I would not have had the ability to take that license with me to the new car I purchased. I'm surprised this practice hasn't been investigated by any state justice or commerce dept (I'm not sure which it should be in the US?) as many consumers were sold something that was never provided.

Meanwhile, at least back in the mid-2000s when I was in school, they’re doing stuff like stationing cops at every school so they can run drug dogs through the halls and arrest + throw into juvie any kid they find with a jacket that smells like weed in their locker.
Tangentially you often fall into needing dual compliance with the rest of Europe and then Russia having their own systems/regulations in place.

From my past life in automotive we had a huge nightmare certifying cars to have European E-call which runs on GPS AND the Russian equivalent that runs on GLONASS.

It's called a lotto because what you get could be left to chance. This was a pretty common to have happen in the past and some tech news sites covered it too. I'm not sure if it's still happening a lot nowadays but it was certainly a real thing 10 years ago. Current day monitor manufacturers still do very questionable things like rating a 4k monitor at 120hz in its primary tagline / description / on the box but there's fine print that says "only when running at 1080p". It's taking advantage of folks who don't know a lot or do a bunch of research beforehand in order to sell more units.

To a lesser degree the "lotto" idea happens with CPUs too in terms of overclockability potential. Certain serial numbers performed better, it became a lotto unless you went out of your way to purchase specific ones. This feels a lot less wrong than the panel lotto aspect tho.

You are right in that it feels criminal, it's not even the same product.
Much easier to mine data about people through an app, and also other kinds of stuff that it enables.
I've played a little with a Behringer X-TOUCH MINI for controlling Darktable (I think midi support is now in stable), was pretty cool altering the exposure etc. with the wheels.
A smartphone features pretty complex hard and software. But that doesn't mean a layperson can't use it.

Why do you think web3 services can't be interfaced with a good UX?
Agreed. That tagline is what entire corporations do. They program their entire ecosystem into a corner and it demands an entire rewrite or refactor.
Something to note is that US Medicare won’t cover health services in Mexico, but healthcare is affordable and the Mexican public option will cover you in some situations with temporary or permanent residency.

I highly recommend Mexico for remote workers and seniors retiring due to the incredible quality of life arb possible.

"But all almost miraculously running without a base oscillator for para-synchrony of compute"

Would you elaborate on this a little for those of us who don't know what a base oscillator is or what it does for a para-synchronous compute?
Absolutely deplorable they would do this. But I am still extremely confident the vaccines are 100% and effective.
> Teachers deserve better.

Some teachers deserve better, to be sure. The reality is that educational spending in the U.S. is quite high by developed-country standards. But the system still fails to reward the best teachers, and many teachers are quite simply not properly qualified for what they're supposed to teach. "Education" degrees are practically meaningless.

There are different kinds of error messages in C++, all of them terrible, but each for different reasons.

Template error messages are often best understood as stack traces of the “metaprogramming language”, which isn’t C++, but a complicated type substitution system that beginners don’t understand when they first encounter these errors. So that’s confusing.

But I found that the hardest errors for beginners are linker errors: They look like line noise and contain no easily readable information to point at the source of the problem. It shouldn’t be necessary to explain linker hacks from the 80s when teaching someone how to find out what they forgot to implement.

Agree with your point on Oculus. Just pointing the negative news about it. Aside from that it's looking good in terms of the tech and how they're dominating the space.

No VR world for me though, but an AR world is intriguing!
I would just add, do something altruistic and social. We're social creatures and we need to belong. Be a contributing member of a community.
Which is why the government getting rid of the liability shield for vaccine manufacturers would have been the smartest and most reasonable action they could have taken to increase percentage of vaccinated population if it was really about public health.

Fully agree that the tooling and setup are not ideal. In case this may help others, I've been using Jupyter-CadQuery [0], an extension for JupyterLab to view your models in a side panel within the Jupyter notebook web interface.
There's a docker image that packages the whole thing (CadQuery + JupyterLab + the extension) in the docker folder, making it easy to run and to update. The image is also available from docker hub [1].

On a more general note, I've mostly been using CadQuery to model pieces for 3d printing and the experience has been quite fun. Errors are not always easy to figure out and there's a learning curve to consider, but being able to "simply" describe my model in code instead of relying lots of [point|drag|click] is totally worth it. It was also a nice way to refresh my geometry knowledge.
