> Is it that they weren’t pushed to do sports, or is it that they were never given the opportunity to try it?

I think ultimately the problem is that the child has the first-hand knowledge of their own experience, but not the mature perspective of age; and the adult has the mature perspective of age, but not the first-hand knowledge of the child's experience.

I have a toddler. Sometimes he knows he's tired needs to sleep; sometimes he needs to sleep but he refuses to accept that; sometimes he knows that he's not tired and won't be able to sleep.

I know that he often gets tired around a certain time, and that he often refuses to accept that he actually needs sleep.

So sometimes when he refuses sleep, I insist, and then he conks out immediately. I was right: my greater perspective as an adult was more accurate his immediate experience of wanting to stay awake.

But sometimes when he refuses to sleep, and I insist, he spends the next two hours tossing & turning and not being able to sleep. He was right: his personal experience of not being at all tired outweighed my greater perspective as a parent that he's normally tired at the time.

Neither one of us has enough information to make an informed decision on our own.

I think something similar happens with children. Children don't really know the potential reward of putting up with the grind of practicing for years, or the regret as an adult of missing out on those skills. But if it's excruciatingly painful, they certainly know it.

Adults know the potential reward of putting in the time, but they don't know the child's experience. So, when a child balks, is it because they're just facing the normal barrier of effort that everyone faces? Or are they really experiencing something excruciatingly painful? If it's the first and you push them, they'll be glad in the end. If it's the first and you don't push them, they'll regret it. If it's the second and you push them, they'll be resentful; if it's the second and you don't push them, everyone will be happier.

Neither the child nor the parents actually has all the information required to make an accurate decision.
> Your data doesn’t show what you think it shows. Homicides is not gun deaths, because in Australia the number of gun deaths is so small. There are other ways to Kill someone.

It shows exactly what I think it shows: just how much safer (or not) a place is after enacting stricter gun laws.

The whole point is that the parent tried to imply that stricter gun laws make the society safer. The data for his example shows no real correlation.
But that is a matter of licensing, not design (which I underdtand to be things like the capability system or the micro kernel). I'd prefer a Copyleft license too, but 1. it is not a suprise that Google is not interested in that 2. even with Android they are able to restrict the user.
A diary and a calendar are different things. In a diary you typically have a good bit of space to note down things that are happening/happened that day (at least this is the typical meaning in the UK). This is less true of calendars (particularly digital ones).

> after repeated warnings not to proceed

Untrue, there was no warning. Crowd was let in (there is security footage of this), funneled to a location, and a killzone was setup without their knowledge. The antifa person filming the death was the only person hurling threats in that specific interaction. Both hands of the civilian shot were visible when climbing through the window. Officer could have arrested when she made it through. I guess we're for shooting on sight now.

> I think it shows remarkable restraint by the security and protection officers that more people weren't shot on January 6th.

Yes let's praise cops for not killing more unarmed civilians than they did, very high bar!

> there were numerous people that had preparations to be armed and were actively working to that end.

What a long way to say they didn't bring guns to the event. Any CCW holder has preparations to be armed.

> sedition

Point to a case, noone is being tried for sedition, only trespassing.
> "The data" is showing that there's only one place in the world where this shit happens this often.

You presented Australia as an example of stricter gun laws making it safer for everyone. The data for Australia shows that this is not true.
Yes. And anyone who makes such a statement clearly doesn't have a grasp on the issue -- either of what a civil right is, or how guns and cars are regulated.

If guns were regulated like cars, there would be no background check to buy a gun. A felony would not disqualify you from gun ownership. Schools would teach marksmanship starting at age 15, and you could get a license to carry at sixteen, recognized by all states. Suppressors wouldn't just be legal, they'd be mandatory. No one would try to sue Smith and Wesson for shooting sprees, just like nobody tried to sue Ford for the Waekusha ramming attack. Etc, etc, etc.

But as to what the first response said, ultimately then, gun ownership would be a privilege, not a right. You don't license rights.
I wrote about this in a sibling comment to yours, but I think kids should be pushed at least some amount. I wish I could play piano today, but I was too lazy/unfocused to practice as a kid, and so my mom canceled my lessons and I never learned. It's something I wish my mom had pushed me to do back then.

Kids don't always know what's best for them, and they will sometimes take short-term satisfaction (not having to endure the monotony of deliberate practice) at the expense of long-term satisfaction (being able to play well after a time).

That's not to say parents should always force the issue. Certainly sometimes the kid really is expressing a preference that should be honored. But not always.
I saw one "secretary AI" that schedules meetings over email in your calendar. Just cc it to start using it (once you signed up). The idea seemingly being, fake it with low cost outsourcing to prove there's a demand for this and then make it.

The developers you'd hire to make it an actual AI and the developers you'd hire to make it a Mechanical Turk are very different skill sets.

This article is from August 2020. The title (as delivered to me just now) is 'Bernard Collaery trial is a highly unusual criminal prosecution'.

Some background:

ASIS bugged the Timor-Leste Prime Minister's office in 2004 during negotiations of the Timor Sea Treaty. Allegations of this became public in 2013 and Timor-Leste referred the case to the International Court of Justice. Collaery was representing "Witness K" (in relation to the ICJ case). ASIO raided Collaery's office at the end of 2013 under the newly elected Abbott government. The charges were filed in 2018 (five years later) shortly after the Attorney-General stepped down (and was replaced). The prosecution of Collaery and his client "Witness K" is ongoing.

I think another problem is that lessons focus on "songs" that children don't like. I bet if a kid saw someone playing their favorite pop song on the piano they'd be all over it, specially if it's something like a simple melody they could learn in a day or two. It's just about sparking the interest.

Check out Winter's SC2 Low APM Challenge. He gets to the Masters league with all three races - using 100-120 APM in the diamond league, and way less in the lower leagues. He keeps emphasising how much of his "brain time" actually goes to decision making (he's also pretty good at explaining his thought process), and how much of the APM is actually just making units.

Most engagements are just: form a concave, pre-split/siege, cast a couple spells, a-move.
Not really a game is it? Could have be a blog post.
The “neither” choice happened with Python 2/3 as well. The current re-emergence of Python as a machine learning/data science languages is basically a new trend. Long before that, before the Python 3 transition, there was a significant amount of buzz around everything from web frameworks to desktop GUI applications. The way I remember it, almost all of that attention was killed during the transition, when people tried Python and found a significantly lacking and confusing ecosystem.

It's difficult to take that article with more than a grain of salt when there's clear political bias and a lack of proper sourcing from the start. Of course political bias is inevitable, but to claim that our gun laws are the result of a takeover by "a minority of radical extermists" is ridiculous.

Then when referencing hard numbers and talking about the influence the NRA may have had, she doesn't back that up with anything. Her "notes" are mostly other highly opinionated articles. Had she followed any form of standard or proper notation[1] it'd be easier to believe her. But usually when people fail to make their sources easily available it's because they don't have them/they are low quality.

Edit:

Just to add another comment to this. Typically when someone claims that something which is supported by a large percentage or even the majority of a given population is the result of "extremism", they themselves are like the extremists, for better or for worse.
Aha. Well, I've never used multiple spaces/desktops, so never had those problems.

Q. What do you do on Linux instead of having to remember "whether you're switching to a different application (cmd-tab), or a different window of the same application (cmd-` ???)" ? I don't know the way you're used to doing it, so it's impossible for me to assess your claims.

> On top of this, fullscreened windows go to some ephemeral desktop/space

I'd never CMD-TABed a fullscreened window before - not sure why you would want to do that, and I very rarely use fullscreen - so I never came across that! Tried doing it now - yeah, I had no idea where my fullscreen CMD-TABed firefox went or how to get it back (although New Tab worked)... So I googled it: under System Preferences->Keyboard->Mission Control->Shortcuts there are 3 shortcuts for move space right, left and go to desktop 1, which I activated, so if that ever happens I will hopefully remember what to do. Thanks, I learnt something :-)

> It's a direct response to this:

I still don't see how the reply fits to the comments I made. You missed the point of my example by miles, is my impression still. I think I already expressed it well enough even in the original comment, so I have no idea how to re-express it for you.

> 40 years ago you had to ask around, or call to ask about the times of tram

No you didn't. The train or bus schedule was and still is posted at each station, and pocket watches have been a thing for a very long time. I find your style of a bit tiring to be honest.

> You made up some arbitrary thing

Even more misrepresentation! I did not make up anything! That happened!

> Realizing you brought up like 5 different things, and now every time I refute one you're motte and bailey-ing to the next thing. Realizing you brought up like 5 different things, and now every time I refute one you're motte and bailey-ing to the next thing.

You keep ignoring my point and keep talking about deliberate misrepresentations of some minor examples that merely serve as illustration!

> The difference is so stark, and yet you focused on signs at the station when the revolution was in your hand.

Given what the parent comment is about, the really huge difference e.g. between tech such as gas lights and electricity, or horse carriages and modern transport, your claim of a "stark" difference seems unjustified to say the least. You still get from A to B in about the same time and with at best a minor improvement in efficiency and convenience. It is certainly not a game changer to have computerized timetables compared to paper schedules plus watches and clocks, unless a transport system is so grossly broken that it barely ever runs anywhere close to the posted schedule.

I see no basis for you claims of "stark difference" and "revolution", given the context of this entire discussion. The Internet and computerization are, but not replacing paper tram schedules with electronic boards. Again, unless your experience is from some place where the paper schedules were completely useless and trains and buses ran randomly and you had huge random wait times. In which case they would still be far better off fixing their broken transport system so that the schedule actually has meaning.

> I don't owe you to refute every point you put out

You keep "refuting" what there never was to begin with. For example, as if I had said "there is no benefit" (of changes), a point I never made.

Never once did you even acknowledge (or ever even see?) my point, which is the position in a larger context. You keep attacking positions I never took. I will not repeat them here, since I already mentioned them in my original post.
Any time I saw some pretty new vista in Elden Ring, I felt guilty that I wasn't appreciating it. My suspicion is that the FOV is fixed and small for balance reasons & this detracts from the landscape, making it hard to take it all in.

For example, the first reveal of Leyndell with the [spoiler] draped on the right of the screen would be more impressive if you could see more of the city to the left.
What’s funny is I’ve had this very idea but no AI skills or extra time to pull it off. Bravo!!
Yeah, it feels a bit like:

- New market is discovered
- 10’s of companies enter simultaneously
- Only some survive

For the convenience grocery delivery in our city we have:
- Gorillaz
- FLINK
- Getir

They all suddenly show up at the same time with giant makreting campaigns and now there’ll be regulations dictating where they can and can’t have their stores.

It’s no surprise that at least some of these companies won’t make it. Especially since the regular grocery delivery business is also expanding (Picnic, Pieter Pot, Albert Heijn, Jumbo, Plus).

To clarify, I just reviewed some other comments in this thread and it is a relief to say that many others here from eastern europe don't have this experience.

> As I have young children of my own today, I'm faced with these questions. What is a healthy amount of pushing vs too much? I don't need my kid to be the best at anything - I just don't want them to be lost/dead-in-the-water or unable to fend for themselves.

If you read other things written by Wil Wheaton, you'll find (according to his description) that his parents had a very perverse relationship with each other, and used him as a pawn in whatever twisted relationship games they were playing. Neither one actually cared about him as a person. There was no way he was going to come out of a situation like that un-scarred.

"Love covers a multitude of sins." Genuinely love your kids, and you won't go too far wrong.

EDIT: From TFA:

Don't be like those guys, and your children won't end up like Wil.
I've found that slowdown from tech debt killed as many companies as any other issue. It's usually caused by business owners constantly pivoting, but being too slow on the pivot and too slow to bring customer wishes to fruition (due to poor technical decisions and tech debt) is probably one of the top 5 reasons for dead companies I've seen.

I wish my parents had pushed me more sometimes. Piano is one of those things; I quit after a year and a half or so, and my parents let me without pushing me to try harder to stick with it. Now, as an adult, over 30 years later, I really wish I'd kept taking lessons as a kid.
Have you tried the "ultrafast" ones? I tried it for the first time a couple months ago and it's pretty mind-blowing. An order of 15 different items reaches my door literally 11 minutes after I press the "submit order" button. I'm in the UK and I have a supermarket a ~5 minute walk away but picking up the same items myself from there would take me at least twice as long (not including the time to get ready/dressed etc). I don't use it for all my shopping (it's a bit more expensive, but it's mostly because I like to get out of the house) but the convenience and speed of the ultrafast app delivery is really something. I hope they don't all crash and burn.
Hmm. Is sifted.eu trying to stir up something here? It is only a small number companies out of thousands of companies. Now if the companies were Addidas, BMW, or Aldi, then we should start to get worried.

Hopin is a virtual conference system ("conference" as in tech conference). It got a lot of traction due to the pandemic and seems very popular, and I've used it both as a guest and as a presenter.

However the system itself is kind of odd. They've taken the literal approach to tracks, sessions, backstage, etc. which has lots of drawbacks - eg. it's completely modal - you cannot be in two sessions at once or easily jump between sessions without everything resetting. You have no visibility of what's happening elsewhere: we had to station someone on the home screen to tell new visitors to press a particular session button because otherwise you wouldn't know where the action is happening. The interface is clunky in many small ways too - there is chat which is threaded, but it doesn't work like any other chat I've used. As a presenter it wasn't very clear to me when I was actually live "on stage".

So I don't think it's the pinnacle of virtual conference software. As with video conferencing, I think someone is going to find a formula one day which massively disrupts this space.
If user = server administrator writing simple scripts, you are probably right. If user = a team of devs, I don’t agree. You often want to use new language features just to simplify a piece of code, and you don’t want confusing rules around when you can and can’t use them.
Interesting. Have you written more about this somewhere ? If not you should.
Perl is great for working with text based data and stuff that is a pain to do in bash.

It is also great at stability (ie. code written 20+ years ago, still works on modern systems).

So for me, something that I'll write, put in some cron somewhere and forget, is all written in perl... at the same time, my colleagues are rewriting old python2 stuff, because modern distros come with python3 only. Some of them had to fix stuff even for 2.6->2.7 python versions.

To be honest, I live a two minutes walk from my grocery store and I’ve used these services a few times. Sometimes with discount codes they’re been cheaper than my grocery store, but we all know that’s just setting VC money on fire for customer acquisition. Thanks for the free beers VCs! When I don’t have a discount code I usually use these services if I’m feeling sick.

It can mean what the parent is talking about, and does in this case. It's an older morph of capability based security than the newer crypto enforced name concept, but equally valid.

You can read more about it in Capability Based Computer Systems by Henry M Levy. The Hydra MMP, GE-645, and iAPX 432 are older implementions of this concept in hardware.

In both cases (TCB table enforced and crypto one way function enforced) the name is the capability, but in a kernel (or hardware) table enforced method that's interpreted to mean that you have permission to access the object by having a simply having reference to it in your descriptor table.

You can see this also in KeyKOS, EROS, Coyotos, XOK, and SeL4 among many other capability based kernels. They don't give you a capability just because you got access to a global name to the backing object; the whole shtick for them is there is no global names for objects, only descriptor tables.
