The pandemic was brutal for parents. All four of my kids where doing remote learning. My significant other stays at home so she took care of that end of things. If I was a single parent it would have been impossible to maintain without outside assistance.

...and since I have a bunch of kids. It gets easier. People talk about terrible 2s, but I feel that 3 and 4 are much harder. They are old enough to know what they want, but not old enough to get it. They can communicate but not 100% or with appropriate level of specificity. They also have the amazing ability to know how to push buttons, part of carving an identity for themselves.

Each year though it gets easier. It's true for all four of mine, and they do have different speeds, they mature at different rates, but overall the trend is always less dependency, which as a single parent you need.

I totally feel your pain though. So I hope you are doing OK.

As an extra tip, totally unsolicited of course. Start doing chores, boring tasks with your kid. Even if they are little. It does a few good things.

1. You have to do the chores anyway, might as well do them when you can't relax (since the kid is going to ask/need things). This way when they go to sleep, you don't have a bunch of things to do, you can fully relax.

2. You are teaching them life skills. They learn by watching and doing. This will also allow you to bond over simple life stuff

3. As they get older, they can have their own chores and lighten your load and if nothing else appreciate what you do for them a tiny bit more

You said your kid is under 5, so I'll give you some examples.

Age 2: pickup toys (I pretend that the toy bin/bucket is a monster that's hungry for toys). Press buttons (for example to start the dishwasher). Throw things in the garbage (hungry garbage can)

Age 3: they can start wiping things, taking their place to the kitchen counter, take items from one room to another. Dusting

Age 4: can start help you cook safely, things like dumping a teaspoon of salt in the food, stirring (obviously no boiling stuff), mopping (rather badly, but they have a blast), sweeping (make sure you duck :), putting dirty laundry away, folding kitchen towels

Age 5: I let them start cutting simple things like bananas, start making breakfast (cereal, toast then scrambled eggs). Pickup their room with some pointers. Assist in cleaning the bathroom and kitchen counters.

Hope it helped.
> University

Universities are almost a separate reality. Unless you happen to be dealing with someone who has prior experience in the private sector, they will have no idea how businesses operate or how money is earned. It's typical to be dealing with someone who has been doing the same job for 20 years and never worked anywhere else.

We're using Nomad + Consul + a custom little cli and I would never go back to K8s from this.

I don't particularly appreciate how a group of nerds from the 80s have some supposed interpretational sovereignty over what "free" software means. The added restrictions on the GPL don't make the software more "free" than BSD/MIT, and I don't like how this is falsely presented as additional user freedom while most users would never look inside the source code or make modifications to it.

I prefer developers release their source code because they want to and not because an overengineered LICENSE.txt compels them. That looks more like free software to me.

The GPL isn't that bad per se, but I don't like the notion of making a folder of textfiles more "free" by adding restrictions on its usage (by people). It feels contrary to that advertised user freedom. The GPL looks like the attributed freedom of that folder with some textfiles is more important than people's freedom. That is still fine for lots of use cases, but its whole framing by the FSF is what irks me.
Maybe this is closer to spirituality than science, but I’ve been reading Eckhart Tolle and he explains in a few of his books that the whole idea of “I” or “My self” is an illusion that’s created by the ego. This is also the message from a lot of Eastern philosophy.

I would hazard to guess that individual consciousness doesn’t actually exist, so of course a tree can’t be individually conscious because neither can a human. We (both the tree and the human) are part of a collective “consciousness” that is life itself.
Why is it interesting then? Or did you have a better experience with snaps?
You would be surprised how many businesses run on equally bad or worse code. At least I'm honest about it.

Your tips are true but not very helpful. I know it's bad or I wouldn't call it an ugly mess. I have better practices nowadays regarding credentials but all my projects always spiral out of control some way or another. If it's not this it's something else but I'm never proud of my code.
Not the original commenter but I guess depending on the implementation many edits might have already been made. Are those rolled back as well? What about tweets that reference the edited tweets, which might not make sense now?
Ads are a subset of marketing, so I don't really understand how that quote works but a good product carrying itself to a decent valuation probably has some correlation with how good the network effects of that product's user base are and how likely those users are to spread the word. At the end of the day you need eyeballs on your product, and organic growth is usually going to be the slower path(albeit not the worst path for some).

*If you have investor pressure to show growth(usually in terms of user base), you're going to opt for the faster progression.
Its why they shut down. TO much piracy. All the Oreilly ebooks I purchased had no DRM and I purchased a lot. Was a VIP customer - but maybe it was widely handed out - I do not know.

> Do you believe in Free Software?

What does it mean to "believe" in Free Software?

I believe Free Software (as defined in your post) exists and will continue to exist for the foreseeable future.

> Is free software a lost cause?

This question seems to assume that Free Software is a cause, which is notably absent from the GNU definition you presented.
> I regularly see similar problems at work.

No way anyone gets that in 30 minutes without having seen it exactly before. Moving pointers in from the sides, according to Y height, both at the same time when equal, and then not using that to find the solution, just to narrow the search space? I mean, it's not like I and everyone else didn't think along those lines, but that exact algorithm is totally non-obvious. I spent like 20 minutes on something similar, another 20 on a recursive split/merge thing that went nowhere, then got brute force working.
there was a call from UN for an independent investigation into Bucha claims, hindered by UK. Somehow for you there is no problem here.
I recommend this blog post:

https://lilianweng.github.io/posts/2021-07-11-diffusion-mode...

Personally, I find the core diffusion papers pretty dense and difficult to follow, so the blog post is where I'd begin.

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1503.03585.pdf

This paper is a decent starting point on the literature side, but it's a doozy.

Both the paper and blog post are pretty math heavy. I have not yet found a really clear intuitive explanation that doesn't get down in the weeds of the math, and it took me a long time to understand what the hell the math is trying to say (and there are some parts I still don't fully understand!)
If you want an even easier way to phrase it, "appeal to authority" does just fine.

One of the few fallacies that stops being a fallacy if your science checks out. Which it doesn't here.
This is 100% true. The bigger the deal value, the less delegation there is. Often times, if it's like a top 10 account, the CEO shows up and is heavily involved in the presentation layer.
GNU isn't the only Free (not to mention free) philosophy in town. I believe it to be the only one whose licenses start out in a combative posture, e.g. "The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,..." (Is this claim even true?)

I believe in Free Software and I also believe in positive, cooperative attitudes, which is not the attitude that GNU puts forth.

A review site with a cannabis slant. Any suggestions on what to review next?
Um, they kinda do. In my experience it's generally not "advice" in the same way a doctor gives it, but it's been more along the lines of, "I took X. Y happened." Not, "You should (not) take X because it (worked/didn't work) for me".

People keep saying we should _normalize_ talking about mental health, and what you're suggesting goes against that. If we were discussing heart health and someone were to talk about their exercise, diet and medication online, would you say, "Hey, wait a minute! You're not a doctor. You can't say that." Of course not. What you're advocating for is an overly paternalistic approach to mental health issues, as if people are too dumb to listen to different viewpoints and come to their own conclusions.
Thanks for the thoughtful response! But I'm actually not interested in the computational side of biology, it might be a way in but I really don't find IT interesting, it just happen to be very lucrative, so as soon as I can I want to escape.

Academia is where I want to end up actually, planning to pivot when I can afford it. Not too far off now!
I wouldn't call it bureaucratic stupidity to decide to ban a class of substances as we continue to find out how much more harmful they are than previously thought.

> Sometimes, we have vendors like Mikrotik who love the old QCA MIPS lineup and shove those ancient SoCs into everything they can.

Mikrotik don't really shove MIPS in anything new! Practically everything they've launched in the last few years is either ARM or ARM64. They seem to particularly love the IPQ-4018/4019 SoCs.
Nah, I don't much like the tone of this article. Not at all.

The engineering message should be: keep your architecture as simple as possible. And here are some ways (to follow) on how to find that minimal and complete size 2 outfit foundation in your size 10 hoarder-track-suite-eye-sore.

Do we really need to be preached at with a warmed over redo of `X' cut it for me as a kid so I really don't know why all the kids think their new fangled Y is better? No we don't.

If you have stateless share nothing events your architecture should be simple. Should or could you have stateless share nothing even if that's not what you have today? That's where we need to be weighing in.

Summary: less old guy whining/showing-off and more education. Thanks. From the Breakfast club kids.
This is simply not my experience. For example, an IDE lets you rename a variable or type in a semantic fashion, making it easier for me to iterate on names and land on something that people understand.

There's a huge mental component to coding (I doubt it's 90% though). In any case, an IDE makes that easier by getting the boring physical stuff out of the way quicker.

And the speed at which you write code is quite meaningful. I can easily write 1000 lines of high-quality Rust code on a good day with just the LSP (rust-analyzer) for support. More recently, I started a project that hit some bugs in rust-analyzer -- working on it was a comparatively miserable experience.

Edit: Never mind, I see above that you're comparing a full-fledged IDE to just using an LSP. I consider LSP to be in the IDE category; I agree that LSP is just about where I want to be and that a full JetBrains-like IDE is overkill. What I don't like is not having any sort of code completion or rename support.
I love irc, but is is just silly.

Slack has much better history because you don't need to have been online when messages are sent to log them. Slack is absolutely more reliable in this regard.

IRC is easy to script because the protocol is so simple. But you leave so much on the table for that cost.

Obviously if your use case is text only that you don't care about being persistent and you lean heavily on scripting to get things done then IRC will do the trick. Otherwise it's such a crutch to do anything besides beyond that.

Fundamentally on the physics level you are right. LNG regasification is not hard tech. It doesn't require unobtanium, probably any technologically advanced country can develop the necessary know how if they need it. Heck, at small scale you just pour the LNG out in a puddle and it will turn back to gas. :)

But building any kind of infrastructure takes time. There are some factors which make it more complicated engineering wise: cryogenic fluids, handling large quantities of flamable and explosive liquids and gasses, being built on the waterfront etc etc. None of these are insurmountable mind you! They just complicate it a bit.

One way we can look at is by comparing how long such plants took to get constructed elsewhere. I looked up a few European examples. From the first announcement to the first ship docking:

UK/South Hook ~6 years
UK/Dragon ~4 years
UK/Grain ~6.2 years
Belgium/Zeebrugge ~10 years
Netherlands/Gate ~4 years
Poland/Świnoujście ~9 years

(I have collected my sources on a spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1md_XfmrpIYhWj72Mu3BJ... )

Probably I made some mistakes in the above, and there are some inconsistencies (do we count until the first commercial ship, or the first ship trialing the facilities?) Also I assume that all of these things can be done a bit faster in case of a dire emergency. But it seems even in that best case it might take multiple winters until a regassification plant is up and running. Which is a bit cold and scary.

I don't think there's much in Fortran that's still unique or "specifically designed" for numerics compute. General purpose languages reached parity with Fortran a long time ago. And "general purpose" typically wins anyway because it has the larger and more diverse ecosystem.

I don't believe in viral GPL based enforcement of free software and things like GPL being used as mechanism to keep out ZFS and things like that.

But weak-copy left and MIT style licenses are great and are winning.

Go back 10-20 years and we live in a much, much, much worse world in virtually every domain.

Not to mention open hardware, open FPGA, open chips and so on.

How many databases are still closed source today? How many compilers? How many programing languages?

Compare now to the 90s and its actually mind blowing how different everything is.
I think you’ll see more of a focus on the artist themselves. These images are nice, but they have basically zero narrative value.

This is really already the case, actually. Most artworks have “value” because they have a compelling narrative, not because they look pretty. So I think we can expect future artists to really emphasize their background, life story, process of making the art, etc. All things that cannot be done by a machine.
What about pixel size compared to light wavelength?

If my maths is right, 7.4mm sensor side divided by 9,150 pixels is about 800nm size. Visible light is 400-700nm. And presumably not all of the pixel is actually light-sensitive.

Is this a valid comparison though? I’m not good at quantum...
The versatility of clients is indeed a huge benefit of IRC. I used to use IRC at work and always had my Weechat window split with a small pane up top showing either my highlights or a channel I needed to monitor at the time. With Slack, you can’t do that, which means you have to repeatedly click between channels if you need to pay attention to multiple at a time.
The problem is it isn't your mark, maybe you feel differently because before you clicked the pixel it was white/blank. Or your group decided it would be yours. There is no ownership. There is no rule requiring cooperation or organization or socializing.

I'm not saying someone shouldn't be disappointed their art was overwritten. But again this gets back to my comment about the whole thing being divisive. You've demonstrated my entire point by saying /r/TheBlackVoid as using /r/place incorrectly.
Those animated runs look like they would be super useful for debugging. Offloads a ton of working memory that comes with tracking stack traces in your head when you can just see a visual representation of the stack and watch data flow in real time.

It’s childish to condition your own good behaviour on others’
You look for procurement lobbyists and partners like system integrators and leverage those relationships.

Also, you need to figure out if it’s wise. Big companies or government agencies will murder you with insurance and compliance requirements before they give you a nickel.
This is where OSS can really literally and metaphorically get you in the door. But you will mostly also see occurrences of the big consulting shops using the same software. So it cuts both ways.
IRC has logs for history, they're fast and you can run your own logger to control the retention policy if you want. These heavy weight IM tools have extremely short log retention (months) and searching through the logs is extremely slow and frustrating IME.

If you combine that with a one-time-signature, and add the overall sha256 to the end of the message, will that be secure against such manipulation?

Something like

Encrypt("RETREAT" + sha256("RETREAT" + SignaturePad[128:7]), KeyPad[128:7])
isn't the normal (non pandemic) number something like 60%?
I worked on Facebook Web Infra while we were adopting Flow. And typing was a huge productivity and safety boost. Sure, you can build without out. There's no denying that. But now we're in 2022 and we have mature type checkers for JS so it's not something I would skip on today.
That doesn't sound like it's really any simpler than a json API server (written in node, python, go, or anything else), and a SPA. Maybe the lesson is "build with what you know if you want to go fast".

We maintain a commercial, Fortran-specific IDE, Simply Fortran, that ships with the GNU Fortran compiler (at least on Windows and macOS): https://simplyfortran.com

It has many of the usual IDE expectations built in like autocomplete, project management, debugging, Git integration, etc. Our Windows distribution adds a few niceties like a Fortran-oriented (though basic) GUI library, a Windows-native coarray implementation (that doesn't use MPI), Windows-native OpenMP and threading, and a binary package manager for pre-built libraries.

We're decidedly a small player in a niche market, but I like to think Simply Fortran makes life easier for Fortran developers. Sorry for the self-promotion!
US zoo fears teen gorilla’s exposure to phones is behind anti-social behavior
The Free Software we are talking about is more of an assertion that you have a right to something, and not just a licensing model. By right, I mean something akin to a constitutional right - as in it's in the public's best interest for you to be able to see the source code of the programs you run, be able to modify them, etc. It's your right, as the owner of a piece of software, to be able to do these things. It's not about free as in price, but free as in speech (which is a constitutional right).
So It sounds like you are conflating this with other platform discrimination issues, perhaps Twitter banning people after repeated misinformation (1) or banking and infrastructure platforms banning N*zis (2) (it's important to note that banking platforms also often ban sex workers and the platforms they use).

In the first case, that is banning people for actions that they take directly on their platform that goes against terms of service. Great, easy, we know that that a private business can set rules for their own platform.

For the second, I think its reasonable that a company might be cautious allowing certain groups to actively fundraise and recruit if they demonstrate a direct harm to others (hate groups with militias).

For this case of Doordash x Sex Workers, the case is a lot less defensible. If true, this would mean that Doordash is extending their terms of service to include off site activity. This does raise some red flags... but from case (2), we know that that can be defensible if A) that action hurts others and B) if the service used directly aids in those acts.

A) Consensual Sex Work is not harmful, and the moral panic around it is probably more harmful than the act itself and B) Doordash does not directly aid in the operation of Sex Work... So yeah I think some outrage around this is warranted if it is true.
