Actually, I still recommend being a foster parent; as long as you have some idea of what you are getting into and both parents are on-board it's incredibly rewarding.

If that doesn't apply to you, there's still plenty of things you can do to help out; I ended up on that list from being a foster parent, but I'm sure if you contact whomever is in charge of foster care in your area you can get on the list. Usually whatever local version of child-welfare/social services you have will know what the needs are. Where I am, providing transportation is always a need (e.g. kids to school when they've been moved too far for a bus; kids to and from visits with birth families, &c.)

This writer's much more recent post is better: https://aella.substack.com/p/the-polyamory-post?s=r

I think she explains herself more thoroughly and isn't nearly as provocative about it, though still makes the same basic error in equating possessiveness with insecurity. Someone may be quite confident but still not like sharing. I think that's a basic impetus behind a whole lot of type A personalities and elite competitors that I don't believe you can rightfully call insecure.

Her definition is unorthodox to say the least, by the way:

> (edit: i should clarify that my definition of monogamy is “when you place a restriction or expectation on your partner’s engagement in sexual activity.” In a situation where two people are totally okay with their partner fucking/loving other people, but just happen not to due to lack of desire or interest in other people, I consider this just passive polyamory.)

I guess I fall into this category of having a "formally open" marriage because I don't believe it is realistic to expect that in 60 years together neither my wife nor I should ever encounter some opportunity to have safe, harmless sex with some other person, but at the same time, we're both homebodies who are not socially motivated and absolutely do not want to date or go looking for someone.

Calling us "polyamorous" on that basis stretches common usage. Every poly-identifying person I have ever known that talked about it seemed quite opposite, intensely social people who needed to constantly be around others and more or less craved nonstop affection and physical validation. If I was being less charitable, that could be framed as another form of insecurity.

There are quite obvious and real distinctions in what we're trying to get out of life. I just want one person so I can have a family and not be totally alone as I gradually get closer to death, but I have no absolute ideal of lifetime sexual exclusivity I intend to hold myself or my life partner to. Aella is a prostitute who has had a continually open application process where anyone on the Internet can apply to date her. Those are very different life goals and I don't think it is useful for her to categorize us together. If the beef is with people who force their non-willing partners into monogamy out of jealously, fine, say that, but don't say that is the single defining trait of all monogamy and thus your beef is with monogamy itself. Come on.

My response: It depends. My Story:

Started life going after an aero engineering degree, built an airplane, then married a woman who wanted to live on farm. I thought: wind energy! Windmills are just gliders on a bearing, so I build a windmill to charge batteries, rose to be an early president of AWEA, then was asked: how do you know where to put these machines? Weather stations. Tiny cmos microprocessor-based weather stations.

But farmers would say: can I use that data to predict fruit frost, water needs, pesticide needs? Welp: at that time in history, Byte had a piece on Expert Systems. I was programming my weather stations in Forth, so I transliterated their Basic code to Forth. That's when I learned about recursion. They don't teach that in aero classes.

Which lead to going beyond expert systems into machine learning. But, having given a few conference papers on wind energy and on expert systems, my resume grew to the point where I got hired at an AI company doing ontology coupling in a B2B setting. I was working with Ms and PhD-level developers, and got along just fine

Can you do that?
No clue.

You're not wrong, but the amount of blatant hypocrisy on the right is just on another level, particularly among the hardcore Christians. At least the democrats typically have the decency to be sex positive or openly gay before having a scandalous affair.
Thank you for being a foster parent. Being stereotyped while helping a child/children is a crap deal, you have my sympathy along with my thanks.
Just a suggestion, but if your relationship with your wife depends on your personal circumstances and mood, then it sounds not very strong. Might be worth taking advantage of this good period to do some relationship strengthening exercises while you can so that when the next downturn happens, you can both understand each other's and your own feelings better. I'm not talking about random activities like going to the beach but finding a good self-help book or therapist and sitting down together working through it regularly. It's easy for problems to grow silently until they're too big to fix. Relationships are far more important than jobs, money or houses.
Angry mob doesn't work in case of bad cops(and many more) because it's not that angry and definitely not that big.

It's possible both of these can be true. Government ownership increases prices and we happen to be towards the worst end of the spectrum in terms of real overhead by such a system.

The entire premise of "no-code" (which is a ridiculous term; it should really be called "hidden code") is to put software configuration and creation in the hands of laymen. If I have to outsource work to a company, what's the point?
The language model has no drive to improve understanding because it's not really trying to communicate.
The largest reason is term length. In general, borrowing money for longer terms is more expensive.

If you could compare equal term lengths - compare a theoretical 1-day mortgage to a checking or savings account, or compare a 30-year bank CD to a 30-year mortgage - the rates/yields would be much closer.

FWIW, It seems that the intersection of <people who like Evolution> and <people who like Thunderbird> is near zero, so perhaps it's a matter of taste there.

You're reasoning is that the Internet made you do it, therefore it's true?
Who's to say that companies do not also ask those questions while you are there ?

I am a manager at my current company, we regularly ask feedback to employees. Partly thanks/because of this, we have a very high employee retention rate. But we also conduct exit interviews when someone leaves.

In my experience, exit interview yield good result if the employees leaves on good terms, and if he tends to be a bit "secretive/corporate" during his time. If the employee leaves on bad term, you get nothing, or nothing of value (just "rants"). If the employee was already outspoken, you get a repeat of what he already said in the past. But once in a while, you get plain and honest feedback that an employee didn't really "dare" to give while working, by fear of (real or made up) repercussions.

People are taught to "play the corporate game", keep to themselves and not make too much waves. For some people that also means "not saying what they really think", unfortunately. Being in a position where they are gone anyway and are off the hook can sometimes liberate their voices. And that feedback is extremely valuable because it's so hard to get in any other way.
There's nothing "market-driven" about the way the Federal Reserve currently works. The Government takes your money and then makes a market you can't participate in, serving entities that seem to primarily thrive off of rent seeking behavior.

The entire "Too Big To Fail" period should have made this clear. We are clearly in a government regime that would prefer to control the markets through the discount window than let them be truly driven by their own forces.
My favorite details from the book:

• It is old enough where it has to explain email to the reader, and explain why Gates would be obsessively looking at it throughout the day.

If you look at _any_ complex event (war , disease , great success , great failure) you can use the same rule of thumb. As an example, did Europe in the middle ages succeed only because of science and technology? Did they take more risks because they could get credit? It's all layers and makes for a richer understanding of the world :)
Ha small world! Glad it has been helpful :)

That makes a lot of sense, and I definitely identify with that feeling of the magic. I felt like there were a dozen caves I knew about, each one with an intimidating name ("compilers", "networking", "machine learning", etc.), and before the MS, I knew these caves existed but didn't know much about them. Taking the classes was like a guided tour into the first sections of the cave (usually with a map and flashlight provided by the instructor). It was like they gave me a feel for both the general layout and the true depth of the caves, even if I only saw a bit of each one. It would take a PhD to fully explore just one path in one cave all the way to the end, but the classes helped me become more familiar with what each one generally looks like and how they're laid out. I think just as importantly, they also helped to give me the knowledge and tools to go deeper into each cave (or new caves) on my own and the confidence to know that I could if I wanted to.

The only other thing I'd say is that software engineering can be more social than you may think, at least it has been for me, especially when compared to what I naively thought software work was like. I don't have the blog post written to link you to yet, but, depending on the company, it's definitely not just you and the computer.

> Part of why I like React (especially with Typescript) is basically that I like JSX/TSX as a templating language. I much prefer working in a full language (with JSX as relatively light syntactic sugar on top) that can leverage existing tooling and typechecking, instead of a de novo template language with its own syntax for control flow constructs jammed in, that doesn't usually have great editor support or typechecking for integrating with the rest of the server-side code.

I get that. The thing is, that you are already using a "new language" when writing TSX/JSX/whatever. The philosophy of it does not even try to prevent you from making any mistakes. It is like in Python Mako vs Jinja2. In Mako you can run arbitrary Python code easily, so you need a lot of discipline to not screw up. In Jinja2 you are mostly just handing in the data to render the template, perhaps apply some filter or so. This help inexperienced developers to keep clear boundaries between the view layer and other layers. But with TSX/JSX/etc. all that is thrown out of the window again and people will do anything they want in a place, where there should be view code only.

Whether I need to learn which elements can be inside which other elements in TSX/JSX, as it is not HTML + JS or anything and it does not allow mostly (!) arbitrary nesting like HTML, or I learn a templating language, which is more traditional ... I have to learn a new little language (perhaps DSL, or whatever one could call it) anyway.

And with the swing back to server-side rendering, the question arises, whether we really should mix all that state and behavior together again and forget mostly about the lessons of the past.
Let's cast aside for a moment that unlike gravity, the big bang, if it occurred, is impossible for a human to witness first hand.

The understanding of gravity had a tectonic shift about a century ago. Imagine if scientists declared that Newton's model of gravity was the final word, and that it was heretical to question it. These things are called theories, not facts, for a reason.

Such things happen all the time in the history of science. As another example, think about the phrase "subatomic particle" and the sequence of mistakes that must have occurred to arrive at such wording.

Paradoxically, instead of the history of science inspiring humility, it seems to encourage arrogance among some. Is the ego a friend or enemy of scientific advancement?

After 20+ years here (currently, like ~every other foreigner, leaving) I ascribe the failure of China to innovate at a rate matching its size, industrial significance and affluence to the politicization of its education and media systems primarily and secondly to its insistence on isolating young people from foreign internet influence. The dynamism of small business is a counter-weight, not a contributor. Local engineering staff are good, but they are primarily domain-specific pragmatists who lack both the theoretical foundations and the general analytical capacity to independently face ill-defined cross or novel domain problems and I believe this stems directly from the rote-oriented education system and "don't be the nail that sticks out" politicization of society as a whole. After decades of seeing the individual and original ideas of themselves and their peers put down, most Pavlovian subjects, regardless of nationality, are going to wind up cognitively and emotionally eschewing creative thinking. "Not my department" is rife. There are many great things about China historically and the modern supply chain is unrivaled, but culturally modern China is simply not aligned with R&D at a fundamental level.
This 'lead causes the downfall of Rome' claim was always totally absurd. How anybody could take it seriously is just crazy. And of course for the majority of the population living in the Roman Empire, it didn't actually fail it continued to exist.

Is there even a clear indication that lead use was significantly higher in the Western empire? If anything I would expect far more lead to exist in the east.

In general, any analysis of 'Fall of Rome' that does not take into account the East and how id didn't Fall can be pretty much dropped instantly. It ends up that you are not really talking as a Fall, but more like a reduction in size of an empire.

Looking at it that way, its actually more reasonable to look at Roman history as one of continues success and then decline. One could argue that the first ~1000 years of Roman state were it consistently getting bigger and then 1000 years where it consistently gets smaller. It started out as city state with king and ended as city-state with an emperor (ie King with a different name).

How does lead factor into this story? As 1 of 10000s of different factors that played a role. It was likely used for a reason that made sense to people back then and the overall effect could still be positive overall effect.
