Boundaries and a private, adult life are generally incompatible with a colicy newborn who has a finely tuned pressure alarm tuned to go off the instant you put them back in the crib, no matter how gently you do it.

Most spouses are also less than keen on sexy time if they've had to drag their chronically sleep-deprived asses up a flight of stairs from the bedroom to the nursery every 45 minutes for the past three months.

I don't know what life is like where you live but working at a library might solve your need for a group-quiet-focus space. You might also find networking with locals an improvement at the local church or school parent's committee?

Among my friends those who wanted to be parents are amazingly fulfilled, albeit sometimes tired and stressed. They are also focused and ruthlessly prioritizing, and still get a lot of the most significant things they want to done. Those who fell pregnant through questionable life decisions are mostly less fulfilled with a couple of happy accidents thrown in the mix. Most of them do not have children however. Civilization thanks you for your service (assuming you do it properly).
Those are the ones who update your repo without verifying it even compiles and then you have to have to investigate without any context when the CI pipeline yells at you because your integration tests are failing.
This alarmist comparison of yours would impress basically no one who has studied in relevant fields, such as bioethics. The relationship between ethics and research has a fascinating and sobering history, one full of richness, horror, and a good deal of quiet ego shattering awe at all the multitude of different ways of being human we have previously organised to eradicate.

The calls you see for greater attention to be paid to ethics in research are not coming from a sense of obsequioous piety and genuflection toward establishment interests wielding political power, but the exact opposite—a call to consider the effects on groups not wielding power, such as different minorities—and obscuring this crucial difference, the way your analogy does, comes pretty close to leaving your readers less informed about the issue of research ethic rigor than they were before encountering your comment.

Bioethics researchers are regularly coming across questions like this one:

Gay and lesbian people are no longer considered as having a disease or disorder by any reputable medical organisation, are experiencing, broadly, a widening acceptance from different societies and their governments. At the same time, there several prominent nations attempt to criminalise, suppress, ostracise and otherwise punish people for being gay or lesbian.
Suppose tomorrow a set of genes are discovered that are strongly or even absolutely predictive of homosexual orientation. What would that look like for our society, when people could say have an embryological test that indicates whether their fetus is gay or not. Would we allow terminating pregnancy on the basis that the parents don't want to have a gay or lesbian child? What would the outcome of having a 'gay test' availble look like in the hands of oppressive regimes, like the Russian Federation. Would having that technology spark a literal genocide of sexual minorities there?

Perhaps you feel you can dismiss this as maybe you (mistakenly or not) picture your own country as unlikely to regress to legally enabling persecution of gay or lesbian people, and think issues outside your own country don't matter. I can tell you there is basically no country in the world that people in the trans community would feel safe in, if we took my above example of 'suppose someone invented a genetic test for being gay or lesbian' and replaced that hypothetical example to detect trans people and/or gender dysphoria instead.
I think the most striking for me with my first is that I felt a lot of things were suddenly out of my control, while there's always things to worry about, I never really worried that much, but the significance of having to look after another human life suddenly hit me and I realized there are a lot of things that can go wrong that, even if you take precautions, there's no guarantees. Which is generally true, but when it's about someones life other than your own, it feels a whole lot more significant. However, after that, as a Dad, for the first 6-9months, you are pretty insignificant other than as a helper, but as your kids become more interactive, being a dad starts becoming fun. Then there is a super sweet spot from 4->14 (ish, different with different kids) that you have to take EVERY opportunity to enjoy and engage with as much as possible. All during this time I also was improving myself as a developer also.
As far as I can tell it is:

05:10:27 $ nix --version
nix (Nix) 2.6.0

I installed it with `apt install nix-bin` on Ubuntu 22.04.

EDIT: I installed Nix with the old-fashioned "pipe shit to bash" method and it seems to work now. When I say "work", I mean it in the sense of "doesn't fail", because it's been stuck at `devbox shell` for a good five minutes now with no indication.

Not to be too negative, I think this is a great idea and is going to be fantastic, but I guess, like any pre-release software, there are some teething problems.
Unconstructed plans are the very definition of academic.

NRC approval doesn't say anything about constructability or economics. It doesn't even say much about the operating characteristics, except that the NRC is pretty sure it meets the safety guidelines.

This is why there are these characteristics that Rickover lists, which NuScale will encounter when they finally build, but are not revealed by any planning they have done up until now:

> (1) It is being built now. (2) It is behind schedule. (3) It requires an immense amount of development on apparently trivial items. (4) It is very expensive. (5) It takes a long time to build because of its engineering development problems.

Year Of Baby.

Don’t worry about what else is going on. Accept that you have different priorities right now. After the first year, you’ll be in the swing of it and parenting will be easier to integrate into your life.

I was a recording engineer for years before I had kids. I had no plans for kids, I was living lean while building up my career.

I got a new acquaintance pregnant. We became a family, I lined up a 3-year recording contract with a celebrity. Of course that was too good to be true and fell apart after 3 months.

I found myself working 3 jobs. Full time clerk by day, janitor by night, and a bootstrapped recording studio on weekends.

Of course, working 3 jobs and being a Father sucks. So I started learning software development.

My first programming/office job I drove 75 minutes each way, for less than a third of my current salary.

Let me get to the point though. After kids, I had an incredible awareness of how precious time is. It’s unbelievable how much I can get done now compared to before. And it’s because you start to see all this little slivers of opportunity. A minute here, 10 minutes there.

I definitely find time to keep my professional skills sharp. And because I’m all about balance, I’m finally in a low-stress job with a manager that stays out of the way, with hours that I choose.

I have health care because of my kids. I have paid time off because of my kids. I own a house in a nice neighborhood because of my kids. I am a more patient, empathetic person because of my kids.

Does it get frustrating? Of course it does. But we grow together. Sometimes I feel like having the family that I never planned saved me.

It will be exhausting at first. But you will adapt.
Because your area is already at capacity. It doesn't affect you for them to operate in other locations.
I just had my first last year. Prepare to write off the first two months. It’s going to be rough and stressful and there will be times where you’ll wonder when you will ever have free time and a normal life again.

The good news is that it tends to improve in increments of about two weeks for those first two months. Then their eyes can start tracking things, including you, and you’ll get acknowledgement and a smile and it becomes so much more rewarding.

In terms of free time, communicating with your partner is going to become critical. Stuff like, “Hey I could use a few hours on Saturday to just write some code/play a video game/go to the gym” will probably require you to allow your partner to have a similar block of free time on another time, but it becomes something you just schedule and execute on like many other things in your life.

Fucks ? It's one fuck, singular, over the past 6 years. There is this idea that an army of trolls are standing in attack formation and will swarm if he gives in this one time. But that claim seems silly.

I have noticed this too.

There are some searches I run periodically for fun and vanity reasons, and lately there have been hundreds of results from different sites missing, with barely anything coming up for queries which used to return thousands of results.
> black people would still be property

Not likely. Slavery had already disappeared in the Northern states due to its inefficiency and internal contradictions. Secession was an attempt to prop up slavery by isolating it economically. It was never going to work.

Slavery as an institution disappeared in other countries around the same time.

It was free markets that destroyed slavery, as slavery simply could not compete with free labor, and slavery was incompatible with industrialization.

In the South, by 1860, the only industry where slavery was still profitable was cotton, and that was coming unglued.
How exactly does that work? Cell phones have such small antennas and put out a relatively weak (and omnidirectional) signal. I think the phone would have trouble receiving the satellite's transmissions and vice versa.
That does sound like a good assumption but unfortunately it's inaccurate. I genuinely don't like parenthood. I don't like negotiating with a child. I don't the mess. I don't like noise. I don't like cutting my day short because it's dinner time. I generally don't like being a dependency and not having freedom of mobility.

Parenthood didn't solve anything for me except that I got the partner I wanted.

FWIW, my office is and always has been isolated from the main part of the house, if not entirely detached.

I currently use Neeva. They're okay, but I'm still looking for a better option. I don't subscribe to their paid version because the upgrades you get just seem like silly gimics to me. They have some good ideas but fall short on execution in my mind.

Which human race?

The Spanish conquest of the Aztecs was both a genocide against the Aztecs and a war of liberation by every other tribe which was used as human cattle for sacrifices by the Aztecs.
You can do it and you will be better for it. A few tips:

1. Take shifts with your spouse and make sure the person resting you a sleeping in another room away from the noise. At least one of you should be rested at all times via naps or night sleep. When both are tired you will fight just because you’re tired. Expect fights if one is tired and the other one is on HN/Social Media/Games so don’t do it unless both of you have slept, eaten and done basic self-care.

2. Find out how to do sleep training first and work on it between 4 months and 12 months. If you don’t figure it out by 12 do cry it out if you have to.

3. Physical and mental work can work together. If you’ve slept, give yourself a problem in your head while you are watching the little one. Talk to them about it like a teammate - they are excellent listeners, will babble back, learn language from you, and keep your head not just in the game but actually coming up with solutions. Record said conversations too because your brain won’t remember much without sleep.

4. Get a great phone with a great camera and capture every moment that matters with audio, video, photos. They change so much in the first few months you will miss them for the rest of your life and you’ll want to hang out with their smily, cute baby videos when their older version talks back at you one day.

See it as an enrichment opportunity - when you’re tired you don’t remmener much so days fly by anyway, especially after the first month, when the baby starts smiling and responding to you.

If you’ve had even a little burnout coding, dealing with a baby will wipe that out and make you want to code again, just don’t try it while underslept - you’ll make more bugs than you fix.
> When a religious person says they "believe" something, it means they operate as if it were true even though they have no evidence to indicate it as such (a.k.a. the god of the gaps).

That is not true. As I pointed out, belief in the unseen, with evidence, is very different from believing without evidence.

Check out this lecture for a more detailed and nuanced explanation[1]. It details some of the inherent limitations of science.

Well it’s not the same in a similar fashion of “1 + 1 = 2” is not literally the same as “3 - 1 = 2”. Maybe they accomplish similar goals but downshifting to brake can be done for as many gears as the transmission contains in a stepwise fashion. But without a transmission in a single speed vehicle with regenerative braking it’s more of a “spectrum” of braking and not directly controllable by the driver.

And for the record I believe “engine braking” is a slightly different mechanism than “downshift braking” but could be wrong here - my manual passenger vehicles don’t have explicit “engine brake” controls but a semi truck might.
Bloom – free autoregressive Model with 366B
Some feedback on communications, especially given the backlash:

1. "Why are we doing this?" should be the very first item. Explain it in clear terms.

2. The blog post that explains the "why" is rather scant on details, with the real "why" buried in text. Nuh-uh. Make it front end center and make it detailed. Developers all across the world have to deal with fraud and abuse and are sympathetic to how expensive it is. We get it. So lay it all out for us! Explain why, in detail, it's so cost-prohibitive that you have no choice but to shut down the free tier! Maybe we'll have more empathy and believe you when you say you really are doubling down on other offerings. Maybe you'll learn that you can actually keep the free tier, since some people in the community have suggestions you hadn't considered yet, and in a few months' time you'll get to thank them for their contributions towards improving your practices and keeping the free tier free forever. Who knows? But without a lot of details, nobody can be of help.
Agreed. I've only limited experience with i, but more with z. After using them, the other OSes you might use start to look and feel pretty similar to each other.
GPS is a thing, so I can imagine that a phone would be able to receive satellite signals pretty easily. But for transmission, I can't imagine this working without having your phone put a ton of power into sending a powerful enough signal, perhaps more so than how much power you need to passively receive GPS signals in the absence of traditional cell towers?
I come from a large family. My kid is five. I disagree. Some people like this life. I just don't see the draw. I find comments like this rather condescending. I don't have to enjoy it. It's okay. That was my point. I'm a good parent because I'm committed to it and that's enough.
Thanks for the mention!

For some context, that blog post discusses what I saw as missing pieces of the stack circa 2020. The startup I’m building (https://driftingin.space) is roughly the “lambda for websockets” part, whereas Instant is closer to the “generalized CRDT data layer part”.
> I don’t work well when tired

Well I don’t think anyone does… but yeah it’s exhausting. I hope you get lucky. I am only just recently starting to not get woken several times a night every night… for more than two years. It’s a couple months now: I still don’t feel _rested_ but I’m not as deprived as before. Other than sleep he is 100% great kid.

But I've lost so much executive functioning.

I read a lot of parenting-related subreddits now, likely because I'm not close friends with anyone else with kids.
Now they are removing the 12-month post-publication embargo period for peer-reviewed manuscripts that result from federally funded scientific research. So, 12 months sooner.
> I wish that neither parent nor child comment authors felt the urge to qualify and head off critical or clarifying responses.

I actually would go the other way and say that preemptively laying out a rebuttal to a common/superficial counterargument is an important supportive component of an argument. I personally wish that comment authors wouldn't take it as a personal slight when a common/weak counterargument is addressed preemptively.

Any scientific paper has a "what came before and why it's wrong and sucks, and why my approach is awesome and cool and better in every way" section and those are really the same thing - preemptive addressing of criticisms that reviewers/etc would make. You wouldn't say those are dismissive and superficial because they "belittle the previous authors and dismiss their work and arguments", or that "preemptively rebutting an argument is offensive to the reviewer". Why is that a bad thing?

"I am aware of a common concern X and I think it doesn't hold water because..." is a pretty reasonable thing to post in a casual debate and it really diminishes the discourse for people to take offense to it and for people to have to excessively censor or limit their discussion as a result. It's not good for the community.

Anyway, the other thing is, a lot of debates really come down to "values differences", which is a kind of X-Y problem. For example, in a political debate, a lot of debates over a policy aren't really about the policy, but rather a fundamental disagreement about whether government can (or even should attempt to) efficiently perform an action or regulate a certain kind of conduct. And preventing certain underlying ideals or principles from being surfaced in the discussion tends to lead to rather pointless debates where nothing is agreed, because it was never about the policy in the first place. So the policy actually worsens that problem as well, you just end up with tilting at policy windmills instead of addressing the actual area of disagreement (which is not the policy at all).
I think it's a cultural thing - the stories just don't follow the Western narrative arc.
I am separated from the house by many doors. Work life balance is only a small part of what I don't enjoy.

> it's fine.

It's not, children under 2 are not fully equipped to free themselves if they get stuck or covered by something or someone. I'm not here to give parenting advice so, you do you, but it's irresponsible to suggest there is no risk when there very much is increased risk of death. The risk goes down as the child matures of course, but some parents sleep lighter than others, some move in their sleep, some sleep in soft beds with lots of bedding or pillows, or high up.
If they're just going to be using this for sending texts for now, the signal to noise ratio can be really bad and still work. I suppose they could also fall back on buffering until a satellite is in an optimal position if it can't send immediately -- texts should arrive quickly, but they don't have to be quite real-time.

That's my guess anyways, there might be some other tricks involved and it's an impressive thing to do at any rate.

Not sure what would make 5G any better than LTE for coverage, maybe your towers were simply upgraded to higher power during a 5G upgrade?
I see it as pure laziness. The purpose of writing is to communicate and exchange information. Just like misformatting some markup language will result in communications errors, so will not writing proper English with an English-reading audience.

Emojis are different; they're an addition, meant to convey extra meaning or information that's difficult to convey with pure text. Omitting capitals doesn't do this; it just makes the text harder to read.
Didn't we decide to move off LastPasss 5 years ago?
I’m booking a cruise on which they’re asking $200 for five days of data. This would be helpful if we were too far off shore to get reception to avoid such high fees. Starlink itself currently offers service to ships at a cost of $5000/mo. plus $10,000 for the hardware. This could save a lot of money where a simple mobile data plan would suffice.
I have an issue with number 4, promoting the most prolific engineers. Lets take two new engineers.

One just cranks out code and it looks like he is the most productive employee. Even if he does a lot of cutting and pasting.

The other engineer takes his time but when he releases something there are never any bugs. Plus his UI's are a thing of absolute beauty. The other programmers are always asking him for help which slows his production further.

Management rarely considers the true cost of bugs, not just the cost of fixing them but higher customer churn. Funny how the first engineer gets the promotion and now he also becomes a sub-par leader.

Suddenly the startup starts losing programmers as well because they don't respect their bosses decisions. Now the guy hires more coders just like him. The startup stalls and management is befuddled because so many lines of code are being written.
