We had our first kid in our early twenties, and by the end of the first two years, I couldn't for the life of me understand how anyone older than 30 can have their first child. Toddlers and babies are incredibly hard on the knees, back, shoulders, and your entire body. They're rough, active, and constantly demand various physical actions that will quickly exhaust anybody.

It's so strange having parents in our neighborhood two or three decades older than we were. It must be really hard.

I'm looking forward to my fifties where my eldest children are past college, hopefully giving me grandchildren to play with. I highly encourage young parenthood. It gets increasingly harder. The money part which so many get hung up on is easy. Babies are incredibly cheap, and your income has 18 years to grow.

I think even giving 2.5% to politics is too much. The amount of impact your money will have in influencing public policy is minuscule. Even if you donated 90% it would make almost no difference in a state-level political campaigns chance of success. And even assuming your preferred candidate did win, their ability to redirect the “massive resources” of government to a good causes is very small. However small amounts donated to the right charities (vaccines, mosquito nets, eye surgery, etc) can completely change peoples lives.
It's kind of dumb. I was in a daily standup and someone brought up a really obnoxious blocker that I don't even really remember. I blurted out "that makes me want to punch a baby."

Later that day my boss was hovering around my cubicle with his ukelele singing a song that called me "the baby puncher" and the nickname stuck.

I would too. What's the point of not sharing the results with anyone.

>Should I be worried?

Depends on the survey questions, and what your perception of the survey results will do. Can you share some more details here? Are they all manadatory.
All in all, you are likely a good person so I would advise, dont worry.

>How should I handle the situation?
Read the survey, understand how it makes YOU feel.

Sometimes I feel that it is always best to "not say anything, if you don't have anything good to say"
It's one thing - one correct and good thing - to specify an ethical framework that says all people are of equal intrinsic moral value, and therefore have equal rights as human beings. It's another incorrect and bad thing to deny reality and specify a factual framework that demands that all people be claimed to be scientifically indistinguishable, having no identifiable characteristics that differ along social groupings.

Point 1, that they can deny "Content that is premised upon the assumption of inherent biological, social, or cultural superiority or inferiority of one human group over another based on race, ethnicity, national or social origin, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, political or other beliefs, age, disease, (dis)ability, or other socially constructed or socially relevant groupings (hereafter referred to as socially constructed or socially relevant human groupings)." is pretty hard to disagree with. Such content is morally wrong and should not be published, can't we just agree to treat everyone with respect?

On the other hand, Point 2 is qualitatively different, in that rather than considering the immoral and subjective value judgements that may motivate some researchers, it calls into question the objective factual truths that some researchers are allowed to uncover: It says they can deny "Content that undermines — or could reasonably be perceived to undermine — the rights and dignities of an individual or human group on the basis of socially constructed or socially relevant human groupings." This is a prohibition on publishing facts that some people may abuse to justify their abhorrent moral position.

For example, as a tall Dutchman, it's a fact that I'm able to reach things on shelves that my shorter coworkers cannot reach without assistance. At our office, we have a few freakishly tall Dutch guys, and some shorter Hispanic women. If, hypothetically, you did a study of the time it takes us to dry and put away dishes in the break room, you'll observe that Thais needs to move a stepstool around to put away mugs on the top shelf, taking significantly more time, and that Dave and I can touch the ceiling flat-footed and need no such aid, so we Dutchmen can complete the task faster. To be very clear - that's a fact, not a value judgement! It should not be misconstrued to undermine the position that men have equal value to women, or to suggest that Hollanders deserve more rights than Columbians! That's ridiculous and wrong!

It is unfortunate that there are some people with a morally abhorrent worldview who will seek to use factual differences to justify their cruel behavior. But prohibiting the dissemination of those facts does not make the fact disappear or become untrue, it only makes the prohibitors look foolish and makes the study of those differences the exclusive domain of the discriminatory people.
Intelligence evolves in response to environmental pressures. Other than being mammalian, I doubt that orca and human intelligence can really be compared. Orcas don't have agriculture or industry. They just live naked in their environment and hunt. Their intelligence might be something like that of a pre-homo-sapien hunter tribe.

There's nothing wrong with having higher priorities in your life than work, at all. But we need to be realistic about what those tradeoffs mean. We have limited hours, and the way we choose to allocate our time has consequences.
Given that Heroku is killing their free tier because of "fraud and abuse" I'm pretty ok with Fly requiring a CC for their free tier. Requiring a legit CC has to cut that by a substantial amount, I'd think.

If the science is bad, then the science is bad. If you do good science and find a result that doesn't fit your preconceived ideas of right and wrong, that doesn't make the science bad. You don't need to be concerned with the ethical impact of the truth, but you do need to be concerned with the ethics of your process.

I don't understand what the actions of pseudo-science bigots has to do with someone who is doing real science. Idiots will be idiots regardless of what real science says.
Getting rid of free tier is super short sighted.

I always start a project on a free / hobby tier. I’ll have a few going and they’ll be using basically zero resources because they have no visitors except testers and alpha / beta users.

When a project is ready - click - I switch to paid and start paying. Probably also add the cloudfront add-on. Maybe a faster database etc

If I have to go build the beta version somewhere else (Vercel most likely) I’m not going to switch back to Heroku to host the paid version. I’ve been dealt liking Vercel lately so this is a good excuse to move everting (free and paid) over there.
Not to mention that the more stops along the way, the more "legs" of a trip involving subway line changes, bus transfers, and walks you have to make Let's say you want to stop at a park and admire the scenery, stop somewhere else to get some ice cream, stop at the hardware store because you remembered you need something, and so on. Making all those detours is much easier with a car and you're way less limited in what you can bring back with you.

So, I guess there is no possibility that their hundreds of millions of customers recognize that they are paying more for more? I guess all of us are just idiots. Markets don't work that way. Over time unsatisfied customers change the market dynamic. That hasn't happened. Perhaps you should reevaluate your criteria for determining "more" and "less" in terms of product value to the consumer.

Good thing this practice has since ceased, and is entirely absent from movies and news reporting, where care is taken that even the most maligned groups are represented by, well, representative individuals, instead of cherry-picking the most unlikable members.
Human-created science carries human biases and so does engineering and even math which is supposed to be pure and objective.

James Burke presented this idea really well in episode 10 of The Day The Universe Changed. Biases sneak in when you decide what you're studying, how you're studying it, how you collect data, how you interpret the data, etc.

The process itself might be unbiased, but that doesn't mean the application of that process is devoid of bias. Anyone remember the stanford prison experiment, the machine learning chatbot that 4chan turned to racism, or however many AIs people have designed that have looked at data and drawn racist conclusions?

Are these things racist because racial stereotypes are objective immutable facts, or because the bots don't understand the context of those stereotypes?

It's probably prudent to figure out the answer to that question before publishing. At least present a few hypotheses to explain the results.
KDE Plasma 5.25 available in backports PPA for Kubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish)
You are implying web. If you eliminate web from your major components, the concepts are the same for building a search engine for any data. Like a product search on a company website might need to crawl through a bunch of internal data sources to build an index of all the products, metadata, etc. and you may want some products ranked higher in results for whatever reason.

I think a major effort, if its not web, is defining a common data structure to represent the varying source data sets.

Edit to add: OP if you want to study this, start smaller than "search the web" and get the major component concepts down. Expanding to the web will involve distributed systems stuff to scale but there's only like a handful of companies doing that yet there are many more companies that need a search engine on in-house data.

Well, I'm not saying "go ahead and build parking the exact same size as a Walmart parking lot right behind everything and all our problems are solved."

And I'm advocating for a holistic solution here: doing things like restricting the location/size of parking in addition to other measures. They all work together. Nobody's going to walk/cycle if all the pieces aren't in place.

Remember this also: You don't have to eliminate cars to reduce trips and lessen dependency. The choice on whether to use a vehicle can be left up to the individual, but if there is no realistic choice then the end result will be that the spaces we see in our lives will be maximized for vehicular use rather than a more balanced paradigm.

Great example is this business park in the Netherlands, where it's really obviously built quite well for cars with ample parking, it's nowhere near the city center, but it doesn't exclude people from getting there other ways. So, there's still a lot of space used for car-based infrastructure, but it's not anywhere near 100% car usage like you'd see in an American suburban business park: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDXB0CY2tSQ

Let's say that Walmart builds 500 parking spaces when there is no realistic hope of walking, but what if there was a frequent bus line stopping right in front of it, housing in close proximity, and separated bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure that felt safe and inviting. Would they build those same 500 parking spaces on their own free will (with more of them sitting empty) or would they build fewer parking spaces for a lower overall cost? Essentially, we should be prodding the "free market" to get closer to our desired outcomes rather than giving them only one choice.

If you have a situation where people driving to the grocery store use a car 100% of the time (for all the heavy bags), but maybe they only use the car 25% of the time to get coffee or get to the park to take a walk, that's still a win over using the car for 100% of activities.
When prices start to diverge from the 70s to today - Chicago's metro population grows from 7M to 8.9M (27%) [1].

NYC metro population grows from 18.3 to 19.8M (8%) [2].

It's harder for NYC to under-build for a century when the population has not grown as much. Chicago isn't exactly a developer's utopia...

[1] https://www.macrotrends.net/cities/22956/chicago/population

[2] https://www.macrotrends.net/states/new-york/population

If you isolate just the city - NYC does grow from 7.8M to 8.8M (12%). Manhattan goes from 1.54M to 1.69M (9%).

Chicago's downtown population growth is >40%.

Kagi with lenses is tremendous. I recommend it elsewhere in this thread.

“Carrying capacity” is a technical term that implies, among other things, that no further population growth can occur.

> capitalism actually generates most of the problems they are worried about

I think the reality is that humans create most of the problems they are worried about. This may seem like a cop out, but people are just inherently greedy. While other political systems attempt to shut our nature down capitalism embraces ourselves and aligns our incentives to generally make society better. As long as people are in charge there will be corruption and mistreatment and abuse of power.
That's true, but generally the worst school districts are the ones that get the most money, although the exact way money is distributed varies by region. For instance, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbott_district describes how NJ gives tons of money to schools in poor areas, although it does not seem to have produced any better educational outcomes.
It's interesting that the linked policy says almost the exact opposite of Fermi's statement, implying that ignorance is sometimes better than knowledge: "...considerations of harm can occasionally supersede the goal of seeking or sharing new knowledge, and a decision not to undertake or not to publish a project may be warranted."
> If you are relying on unpaid open source code for commercial work, you should fully understand what that means for you:

I don't want to say "easier said than done" but... imagine doing `npm install` for like... Webpack, React. Start adding a few React related libraries

You're talking exposure to... hundreds (thousands) of "free" open source projects.

Obviously nobody owes anything to anybody in terms of "let me dedicate my free time away from my family/friends/my other hobbies/my personal sanity" to make sure the package I publish online is as perfect as possible. It just gets muddy/gray.

Is there a sense of entitlement for the unpaid generosity of library providers? Almost surely. "You published something, it got popular, now you are telling everybody who needs help fix it yourself or f*ck off".

It's just a weird source of conflict. People publish packages hoping they get used/become popular. Then they got popular and get overloaded by issues/requests and either embrace it or get combative.
I always expectrd this rewrite but so far as i can tell they, unlike GNU in the 80s, are not doing drop in replacements, pushing their adoption curve out decades. It is such a strong truth that people prefer to do new stuff rather than reimplement existing tools.

Here in the frozen hellscape of maine, nearly all snow mangement is done by dedicated equipment. They use skidsteers, dump trucks, front end loaders with giant buckets or snow blowers, and what few trucks they do have don't plow, they spread dirt or salt, which the dump trucks also can do so they are only used to dirt/salt small parking lots.

Individuals buy push snow blowers or snow blower attachments to their lawn tractors.

Occasionally a business will contract someone with a plow on a truck but that's not common because the contractors who actually deal with this regularly have dedicated equipment that's better than a plow on a truck and using a shitty plow on a standard truck is actually not easy.

Even the parking lot in my private apartment complex is cleaned after a snow storm by a company with multiple front end loaders and skidsteers.

> "The teachings of the Church must not be undermined by heliocentrism or evolution research, so findings in those areas will be strictly filtered for heresy before publication."

This is actually a bit of a historical myth that due to anti-religious bias prevails widely.

Contrary to widespread belief, the works of Charles Darwin were never on the Catholic Church's Index of Forbidden Books, nor did the Catholic Church ever state that Evolution as a theory could not be believed, but rather emphasized that a few specific theological events (a garden in which man fell) must remain, though the lead-up to those events was not rigidly defined. This is also why a Catholic priest is responsible for the Big Bang theory.

As for heliocentrism, this is also baloney as it was initially proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus, who was not censored for his beliefs[1], and also served as a Catholic canon (religious member but not necessarily a priest). This idea was backed by Galileo using astronomy, however, Galileo was tried for writings other than his heliocentrism that were arguably heretical (including attacks on the Pope within his work) and not necessarily for the heliocentric view itself, as seen by the Church making Copernicus mandatory reading in some universities for astronomy courses.

[1] The Roman Inquisition would later censor it for a short time, however, their main requirement was that it definitions be changed from fact to theory, and the Roman Inquisition actually used 13 mathematical arguments of their own from the astronomer Tycho Brahe, versus only 4 theological ones. The Spanish Inquisition never censored the book. Even though Brahe was later proven incorrect in his arguments, he was still one of the most accurate astronomers of the era, and Johannes Kepler (of the Kepler Space Telescope fame) would later use his measurements to create the 3 planetary laws of motion. In any event, it would appear that this censorship of Copernicus requiring revisions before publications was due to Copernicus' overconfidence in potentially erroneous mathematics, rather than a theological dispute.

This is pretty weird to me.

Whenever I've had exposure to a household like that, what actually happens is they buy way too much food to keep track of it, and either you eat too much or it mostly goes bad in the fridge. I find this oddly stressful, too, the feeling of wasting food or needing to use it before it goes bad.

Whereas I like to plan a day at a time and be close enough to markets that I could potentially visit every day and it's part of the daily routine.
