What did your spouse want? Was she out of commission? If you're not the one giving birth and not the responsible doctor it's not your call to make, is it?
> By taking away throttle control and steering, you leave yourself with only decision making. It's reducing major components of normal driving behavior. It's not perfect, but knowing its strengths and weaknesses allows for better driving in my opinion.

Assuming you know its strengths and weaknesses. See next post, below.

I'm wondering if "reducing major components of normal driving behavior" is such a good idea?

What I'm getting at-- the delusion/illusion that the brain/mind is somehow separate from the body-- that learning can all be in the abstract without any connection to tangible reality.

How can you make throttle decisions if you don't have throttle control? Wouldn't having throttle control at all times mean you have more awareness of the machine you are controlling and can thus decide faster and act better? Because this control is already part of your thoughts?
I don't think that's entirely hyperbole, given the stacking of the Supreme Court to achieve particular policy outcomes. It seems likely that Moore v. Harper will allow states to gerrymander Federal elections, severely reducing the extent to which they are "free and fair".

However, this is not likely to affect the value of the dollar in the medium term.
Can't echo this enough. You cannot get the time back. Tomorrow is never the same as today.

I have no regrets, but I do wish I hadn't put off anything to do with my daughter's childhood. There is no "later" when you say "we'll do this later". Whatever it may be, do it now or you might never get to do it.
1. Your child will be a mirror of oneself. Character traits (both positive and negative) will get back to you somehow. This also means that the example you give will have a profound impact the first few years
2. Accept that going to the movies, friends or restaurant spontaneously is out of the question.
3. Accept that some friends who you consider closest won't accept or understand the fact having children means [2] is not possible anymore (or at least not that easy) If you have a tendency to FOMO in a large social circle you're about to enter a world of pain.

>surely people realize that anything offering +18% on what you can get from a bank will often be a ponzi scheme?

except in this case it's not really a ponzi scheme, more of high risk investment (think junk bonds) gone bad.
This is the actual problem with the app model. No one is on the line for your order being late, cold or wrong. The delivery guy doesn't care - he's the most transient and precarious labor possible and he only needs to get a certain percentage right to keep working. The restaurant, traditionally, tried very hard to keep their customers happy, and would send the (in-house) driver back with forgotten items or free stuff if something went wrong. Now they are plugged into a third-party system they don't have any confidence in or understanding of. They do their best but they can't predict demand, be sure when the driver will turn up, or be sure that complaints are legitimate. Meanwhile the app operator doesn't care that much about your order either. Getting every single order right would massively increase their costs while hardly adding much revenue through brand loyalty. Signing up new restaurants or rolling out to new cities is always going to be a more promising strategy.

Meanwhile, you are hungry and tired and you just spent $50 on $30 worth of takeout. You really really want someone to care about your dinner as much as you do. But next week when you're hungry and tired again, won't you roll the dice again and hope they get it right this time?
It doesn't with mine, I'm afraid. I frequently give them 1-3 options and they shoot them all down (even pancakes?!). Eventually I give up and ask them what they want, and they still don't know, or just want to eat nothing.
Yeah but k8s isn’t hard at all if you know it, it’s actually substantially easier than a couple web servers and dbserver and provides a whole lot more
Babies and their mothers have a special relationship. Don’t feel bad if you are not bonding at the same level.

Babies are resilient. Don’t beat yourself up over the little things. You’re going to make mistakes. There are no perfect parents.

If you are a documentor, taking notes and pictures and storing them up is a cool idea.

Your parents probably have answers. Sometimes the answer is to wait it out. Kids cry. The get mild fevers. Not everything is a problem to solve. It’s just a process that you are a part of. Sometimes the answer is just being patient.
Congratulations!

Please see these as potential things to try rather than pro-tips. Each family is different. Some of these might be great for you, some may not work.

- technique to stop a baby from crying: Dr. Harvey Karp's 5 S's - also find the YouTube video: https://www.happiestbaby.com/blogs/baby/the-5-s-s-for-soothi...
- Babies sometimes cry and there is no clear reason or remedy. Hug them and don't let it get to you.

- You have a lot less free time. It seems like some things you need to do together with your partner, like bathing the baby. The sooner you and your partner realize that either one of you is perfectly capable of doing most of the things (breast feeding is an anti-example), the more time you'll be able to carve out to do other things.

- Love your wife and care for her. She has gone through a lot over the past 7 months, and will endure a lot in the next 2. And after the baby joins you, she has a lot more hard work ahead.

- If you are going to be at the delivery, remember, you are there for your wife. This is not the time to be correct or to advise. It's the time to "yes dear" and hold her hand. It's pretty much all you can do to be helpful. And from anecdotal evidence, that helps a lot.

- Don't fret the small stuff and don't go crazy trying optimize each thing. Things are going to be OK.

- Self care still matters even though you have less time for it. Sleep well, eat and drink well, spend time with loved ones and friends, exercise.

- Each day is precious. It's hard to describe what this means. It will become clear. Enjoy it as everything will change quickly.
My degree is in Applied Math & Computer Science, at an engineering school, but the CS aspect was rather lame and the applied math part was basically useless for computers. But I got the piece of paper, which was my main goal. So like you, I've taught myself pretty much everything I know about computers.

You mentioned reading a book on Postgres. If you don't know SQL, I'd recommend learning that, either with Postgres or maybe more simply with SQLite. Whatever you pick as a toy project, make sure it has lots of data to help you understand indexes. With small data, everything will be fast. With large data, like a few million rows, you have to become very familiar with how the database actually executes queries so you can add the correct indexes to make things run fast. And you can't just add indexes for every query, because that slows down inserts and updates; there's a trade-off there that you'll have to balance.
- Being a mom is HARD. 1000x harder than you expect and 1000x harder than any job. A good dad can fill in for mom on ANY task on ANY day. Start learning what moms do early and fill in for them every chance you get. My motto was always "When I'm at work, we're both at work. When I'm at home, we're both at work."

- By default the working parent, usually the dad, is going to be out of the loop. The working parent must spend a considerable amount of time trying to be present and in the loop. Kids will not naturally care as much about the working parent unless they are around (and even then they'll still be at a disadvantage).

- You never need to yell at your children. Typically this signals a failure of some kind. Imagine yelling at work, at your wife, at your parents, etc being the right solution to some problem. In the early years, the best way to prevent your children from doing something you don't want them to do is not to put them in the position to do it at all - i.e. Don't give them room to fail. In the later years positive reinforcement is 1000x more effective than negative reinforcement.

- In the early years you're going to worry a lot about whether your causing forever damage by doing X rather than Y. Basically nothing you do in the first 1-3 years matters, so you can relax.

- If you can afford it, have one parent stay at home. It is by far the most harmonious arrangement. Running a household (chores, food, child planning, etc) is a full time job and having two working parents split that job is difficult, expensive, and assumes child-care provides as good of care as you yourself would provide to your own children.

- The first 3 years are by far the hardest. They are grueling. If you are planning on having multiple kids, get them all done with as soon as you can. Once they get older than 3 it is 1000x easier to manage and really opens things up out of survival mode.
How did the demonetization halt growth? Can this be untangled from other world economy effects?
In a similar spirit of small towns rising to the occasion, I’ll take this opportunity to recommend the musical Come From Away (Apple TV), about the planes grounded in Gander, Newfoundland on 9/11. A wonderfully told story.
Along this line, learn how to swaddle, or firmly wrap, your newborn. Amazing calming effect on child when done well.

Breastfeeding is natural.
I doubt they're thinking about Dobbs (the decision overturning Roe). As a result of the Big Lie, Republican legislators in various places have decided they need to be able to "ensure electoral integrity" by giving themselves the power to replace local election officials or even over-rule the election outcome itself.
You will look back on the next 18 years as one of, if not the best time of your life. The time where you made the most impact on humanity, far more so than whatever you do in your job or social life; an impact that will most assuredly outlive you. It's hard at first, once they're out of diapers and into pre-K, it gets a lot easier.

Congratulations and good luck on your journey.
As the proud parent of a three year old: don't feel guilty about holidays¹ for two if your kid has a safe and pleasant place to stay. Staying with their grandparents (a common choice) or other trusted guardian helps them experience a different household, and if you start doing this young it is never a big deal.

11. Your career will suffer

Point #11 is not necessarily a bad thing. Having a child is a forcing function, requiring you to really prioritize what's important (and not important) in your life. All of us only have 24 hours in the day. All of us have limits.

Also, be prepared that not all fathers (especially in the corporate world) will see eye-to-eye. My relationship with one of my mentors dissolved practically overnight when my priorities shifted from work to home; I only realized later on that when his 3rd child was born, he threw himself at work even more. Some men find work as a way to escape life at home. I now understand why.
Oh yeah, linear search I did a lot to the same consternation of other devs.

The issue was the device was so low in memory (2MB of unified NV and flash for code, files and operating memory) that there simply did not exist enough space for a lot of things to be held to be any problem for the 20MHz ARM7 controller as long as you did not do anything stupid. 600kB of it was used by OpenSSL and further 300kB by operating system anyway (I am aware of how funny it sounds when OpenSSL takes twice as much space as OS).
When Ubuntu moved to Gnome I remember getting so frustrated at how much screen space Gnome wasted that my old laptop became difficult to use. I gave up on the Linux desktop after that
I just can’t understand why you’d give up control to a system that’s clearly still in beta. The cost of failure is way too high to take the risk.
Ask HN: What is your take on hiring from Sri Lanka?
Sri Lanka is facing one of the worst economic crisis right now. The value of local currency against dollar is depreciating every day.
The only way out of this is to bring in more dollars. I have no clue how effective it would be though.
I would like to know if you were to hire from Sri Lanka, what is your considerations be? are there any factors limiting that decision?

We need outside help now. More remote jobs from abroad can help us bring more dollars into the country.
If you can hire more Sri Lankans for open positions in your company, please do it.
And also share what do you think below. Thank you.
Thanks for opening the ticket already :-)

I have talked with the fulfillment team at GitLab [0], and there was a problem identified with workers not syncing the purchased CI minutes after the DB migration. Corrections have been made, and potentially you should see the synced CI minutes soon. Support teams have access and can check with you, I do not have access.

Setting up your own runners is a sensible approach, and allows you to scale them for your own needs too. Maybe this workshop about pipeline efficiency can help with more ideas and insights [1].

A more advanced wxErlang Hello World
It doesn't matter because of the ways it behaves on that small percentage where it behaves like a blue collar on a cocaïne bender on a Friday night. It doesn't slam itself into a tree like a drunk driver in the middle of the night, it is so unpredictably bad that i half expect to see reports telling me it tried to take a train line because it's a shortcut.
The Netherlands, and the ABN in particular. They've decided that if you take out more than 12K per year, each subsequent withdrawal will cost a fixed amount plus a percentage of the amount withdrawn.

Is the author's claim that modern journalism doesn't contain enough feel-good human interest stories?
Waymo and Cruise are also using more expensive, bulky and unsightly hardware, including lidar. They are starting at the top, with a solution that works, then working their way down. Their approach is confidence-inspiring. Tesla is starting at the bottom. The frequent mishap stories coming from Tesla does not inspire confidence.
Uber has raised their rates significantly I've noticed in the last year or so to where it's no longer feasible to take as alternative or daily transport.
NFI; they insisted it was standard and refused to listen to complaints about the reaction. postpartum hormones are already fucked up and this couldn't have helped. Among other things, it made her skin so sensitive she found it hard to wear clothing, and nursing was torture. She still had periods too; so it probably wasn't actually functioning as a fertility blocker.

This shit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medroxyprogesterone_acetate

She's one of those lucky people for whom no drug seems to work as advertised, all she gets are the side effects and usually much worse than the text of the drug warnings describes.
Anecdata of course: I've been a frequent and global user of Uber for far too long, but in the last six months I've unintentionally stopped using the app completely both locally and while traveling. At least in Europe, the Uber experience, for drivers and riders, has become egregious and competition from aggregators of local taxi infrastructure can finally offer a well-designed app at an almost identical price point with much faster pickup/better service -- and, of course, better comply with local employment regulations. Compound that with orders of magnitude smaller/cheaper engineering teams and I suspect we might be at a tipping point away from ride-sharing towards (aggregated) taxis; I will be watching FreeNow closely in the EU and would love to see their growth/financials.
Non-proliferation is a fine idea, but is there anything you could learn touring there that's not all over the internet and text books already? TRIGA was designed in 1956.

ARM is nearly as old as x86 and has had just as many evolutions in architecture as x86.
Instead of calling your ISP, they will call your VPN provider..

VPN doesn't hide your ip, it only makes it harder to look up. I don't think VPN protects you like people think they do.

I don't say you shouldn't use one, but I will say that the most popular VPN providers are probably already backdoored by the US government.
Oh, that's easy: just require that every copy sold/downloaded incurs a 5¢ tax on the the publisher. Now the marginal cost is non-zero and we can yet again let the market sort things out.
Just keep it simple, and if you take off scale vertically while you then work on a scalable solution. Since most businesses fail, premature optimisation just means you're wasting time that could have gone on adding more features or performing more tests.

It's a trap many of us fall into - I've done it myself. But next time I'll chuck money at the problem, using whatever services I can buy to get to market as fast as possible to test the idea. Only when it's proven will I go back and rebuild a better product. I'll either run a monolith or 1-2 services on VPSs, or something like Google cloud run or the AWS equivalent.

Scaling something no one wants is pointless.
Same for us - we have robots.txt disallow etc. and the relevant headers for personal customer links and Bing is ignoring and publishing all the same
I wonder whether The Myth of Sysiphus wouldn't be more apt for something like that. But I'd pick an academic text too, though I'm not sure which one.

There are many textbooks outside of my expertise that could be just as interesting as more physics or mathematics, e.g. ship/boat construction.

Edit: For a fiction book I would probably pick Fiasco by Stanislav Lem, it contains some parables and allergories that are interesting to think about.
Bing appears to be ignoring those headers for links crawled from emails
Sorry but managed k8s is really simple and wildly a better pattern than just running VMs. You don’t need google scale for it to help you, and spinning things up without understanding the maintenance cost is just bad engineering
Fellow American here.

Didn't realize circumcision was not at all prominent in the UK and Europe until I married my British wife.

Also, there's a huge amount of cognitive dissonance in Americans when it comes to circumcision, so be prepared for backlash should you not circumcise your son.

Netflix even has a documentary on the topic worth watching: 2018 American Circumcision
On familiar routes with nothing unusual going on, I also can let my guard down. But you do get alerts if not paying attention and will get kicked out of the beta after 5 or 6 of those. I have had 2 of those alerts in the course of the 6-7 months I have been on the beta.
> 2) if the baby isn't sleeping through the night by 6-8 months, pay for a sleep consultant. That's what we've done, it was the best spent money in the world, I'd pay 10x as much as we have. Our baby boy was waking up literally every hour at night from 4 months of age until 8 months, I think we were on the verge of going mad, it was completely unsustainable. After a 2 week training session with a consultant he started sleeping through the night, sleep solidly from 7pm till 5am(which is fine with us).

Out of curiousity: what was the exact reason your baby boy didn't sleep through the night? I'm a father of 13 month old baby as well and my boy has just started sleeping basically all night long
X86-64 INCLUDES all the legacy cruft of x86-32 and x86-16 and is thus 44 years old. Aarch64 in Apple chips doesn’t include A32 and is thus 11 years old. It is indeed a large age difference.

Gnome is even more of a loser on FreeBSD.
Broadly any organisation which most of its business is taking deposits on a short term basis and lending them out on longer, fixed terms can be deemed a "bank" and analysed as such, including the vulnerability to bank runs which has taken out this and other crypto firms. It's not a regulated bank, and it may be illegal for it to call itself a bank, hence it's a wildcat or shadow bank. But the business is definitely bank-shaped.
I know how to google. You'd think an article that cases poetic about something would give any examples of said something.
My son is 12 y/o, and he's into Minecraft.

Yesterday he discovered the server mc.openredstone.org. He spent all day yesterday and about one hour today, and he ended up building a 4-bit adder.

On this server players learn how to build logic gates, and mix them so they eventually build CPUs. It's fully gamified, so beginners are called "students" and more advanced players are called "builders". To become a "builder" you need to pass some trials. The "builders" probably have their own challenges (not sure, my son is still a student), in any case, they behave like teachers. So a student will find a builder who will give them instructions, and guide them through more and more complex designs.

So, yesterday my son had no idea what XOR or NAND is, and today he already built a 4-bit adder, and has dreams of building an ALU.

I'm quite excited to be honest. By the way, I'm not in any way connected with whomever put together this Minecraft server. I don't even think it's a for-profit thing, as far as I can tell, it's fully non-profit.
In theory, an unprotected left should be easier for software than a human. The issue with them for humans is that there are too many places traffic (and pedestrians) can come from. For computers, once you solve the problem of seeing traffic coming from one direction, Nx the computing power can see traffic coming from N directions.

The problem Tesla has is that they still can't do basic things reliably enough
Someone on here[1] already compiled a list of 7 incidents in this video of a ~30 minute drive. 3 of these look like they could have resulted in a severe crash or even a fatality if the driver did not intervene (the train, proceeding into an intersection on a solid red light, ignoring pedestrians). That's a pretty bad batting average - most people don't nearly crash 3 times in half an hour of driving.

Father of 4 here.

Take care of yourself (physically, mentally), take care of the mom, take care of your relationship - all of those will make taking care of the child far easier.

Beyond that, the kids grow up really fast. Very likely by the time you master their current stage they’re on to the next. Keep up!

Also, kids are fun. Each stage. Find a way to acknowledge and enjoy the person they are and are growing into.
> The loaner did not have FSD, and there were a couple of times I expected it to stop and it didn't. It was mentally tough b/c it was familiar like my car, but it wasn't my car.

You need to meditate on this. Hard. You're more right than even you realize. Your cars behavior will change on you overnight. Your access to charging infra, or even the capacity to access the full capabilities of your vehicle are locked away, and prone to change from day to day. You don't get to opt out. You don't get to say "No, this is fine exactly as is."

What you believe is your car, is by no means your car.
