> Many folks have family that will help with the kids in the early days, so it was helpful to always have a extra pair of hands at home for the mom during the first half year or so.

This is a strange comment, considering the person asking the question IS the mom.

Secondly, I feel like your entire argument around the extra work the team will face (and the idea that the team being fine with them gone means they provide no value) has an unstated premise; that the amount of work the team has is constant and can't be changed.

When a team member is gone, we expect the team to be less productive. The team and company should plan for this, and commit to less work during the period. The idea is that the team should GRACEFULLY reduce their workload, and not grind to a halt completely.

Diesel engines on large ships typically work as diesel-electrics, the way railroad locomotives do. For example, Celebrity Solstice[1] uses diesel generators and azimuth thrust pods which contain electric motors. Celebrity Millennium[2] uses gas turbine generators and azimuth thrust pods. The electricity is also used for the rest of the electrical needs on the ship. The cruise industry is adopting LNG fuel, and hybrid power plants, gradually.

You have three levers to pull as a manger in this situation.

1) increase the workload for who remains

2) decrease the workload and delay the deadline (which could affect other parts of the company, the pnl)

3) find a contractor or two to pick up the slack, this may take a while and can still fail or cause the rest of the team to stall while that person/people onboards.

Depending on your situation money can be tight or deadlines can be tight or both. Meaning the only appreciable option may be #1: which is part of why it’s harder to work in startups where both of the above may be true.

I don’t think it’s entirely fair to blame management, but it can be arbitrary limitations imposed by management for sure.

It looks like DALLE is just performing inpainting on pieces of the image outside the original frame.

The zoom effect is scaling the original frame larger while keeping the frame, then performing image to image generation on it, or using the newly defined image in the frame and sending it back through diffusion (at least that’s my guess).

It’s a different process than what DALLE has since inpainting does not overwrite already generated pieces. Stable diffusion can also do inpainting.

You can make sliding images this way. Slowly translating the image out of the frame and then filling in the blank space with inpainting.

> I'd much rather have a config file I can point it towards than an endlessly long shell script I can't comfortably use comments in (maybe this is a criticism of shell scripts in general).

I end up designing a lot of CLI tools and this is a design problem I run into a lot with my own stuff: how many flags are too many? Introducing a config file works, but now it makes your tool much less feasible to run in a shell script but, like you say, too many flags makes your tool unwieldy to run anyway. The problem is harder if you have a venerable tool that's always been flag heavy. Do you keep lumping flags in or do you steer the community toward the use of a config file? Or a hybrid?

TWSBI Eco and TWSBI Diamond - my favorite pens right now. Love being able to see the mechanism, and the ink, and they write so well.
Slightly OT but I have terrible handwriting, and I have been considering purchasing a pen plotter [0] which, as I understand it, can hold a fountain pen. Are there any pen plotters that people would recommend at a non-professional grade level?

I don't think its low skill/high supply that's the problem here. The fact is a nanny is only servicing one family and so their entire economic input must be a fraction of that family's income. Same problem hair stylist faces compared to a software developer. You can only cut so many heads of hair in a single day which limits your total possible income to a fraction of mine because a billion people can buy my software. Its just the way it is and barring some major change in how society is structured, the way it will always be.
I'd designed a typeface when a colleague asked what it would look like written with a cursive nib pen. I had no answer, went out and bought one, then spent the next few months going down the "there are thousands of ink brands and colours" rabbit hole, ended up buying 500+ samples and trying them all (see https://imgur.com/gallery/3JWW4), and then made https://inkdb.org...

Inks are fun, but the state of fountain pens themselves, for me at least, is way too "extremely expensive pens" instead of "investing in making excellent low cost flex nibs". Plenty of polymers and plastic that have infinitely better flex than the traditional gold or modern titanium (like Bock's) do, but no one's making any. And unless you want a pen that'll smell for a year, like Noodler's, or something that feels functional but that's about it, like a standard Lamy or TRB, there's just not a lot of low cost fun to be had.

And to make it just a little more annoying, if you do decide to go for the higher end fun (e.g. Pelikan flex pens and their ilk) you're stuck with "pick a nib. That's your pen now" rather than the "Pick a pen. And then put on whatever nib you want, they're trivially interchangeable. Buy a set, any #6 will fit, go wild" that lower cost but much more sensible pens go with.
Yes, having studied psychology and neuroscience I get often frustrated how seemingly normal words take on highly specific and often contrasting meanings.

Reading article after article and realising that every author uses "attention', "perception", "motivation" in slightly shifted ways. In principle it makes sense that increased specificity is needed in a particular field. But when the meaning shifts meaningfully between author working on, ostensibly, the same topic the confusion is immense. I have no clue how to tackle this issue.
1960's and 1970's lego wheels had a small embedded metal axle. Depending on orientation these could cause a significant puncture wound:

1 is only an issue because moral panic gave legislators a blank check to write DUI laws that are so immensely broad they would be opposed in any other context.

2 is only an issue because drugs were a moral panic and people hated weed enough to not argue much when it got tied to their gun rights

You can write the law however you want, but it's the people holding the guns who decide how those laws are enforced that really decide what the laws are. The glorification and deification of cops and soldiers as saint-like figures of pure virtue makes it that much easier. Ultimately the only real constraint on police and military power is mass civil disobedience, and technology and weaponry and mass surveillance can nullify much of that.

She describes her sister’s job as filling a cartridge with wafers, and then sending it into some robotic conveyance. And then just sitting there. Probably about as much skill as navigating a car through rush hour traffic to soccer practice.

Her sister isn’t installing HF lines, or clean room downdraft systems. Functional equivalent of flipping burgers.

My understanding is that for a while Intel was trying to only hire PhDs for running its tools, but found that the especially academic individuals had little interest in the statistical process control of wafer manufacturing. In high volume manufacturing, the core engineers are still chemical engineers with bachelors degrees.
I have a small collection of fountain pens and have bought and sold many others. I have found that much of this is personal taste and how you use it. Some pens feel comfortable in the hand. Different pens sizes (length and diameter), shapes, and weights will feel good to different people. Some prefer to post the cap on the end of the pen while writing. Others prefer not doing that. Doing it affects balances differently for different pens.

There are also a wide variety of nibs to choose from. They can vary in material, widths, firmness, and how they flow across different papers. If you mostly like a nib, but it's still not quite right for you, you can have a nibmeister tune it more to your liking.

Some who write a great deal are not comfortable with the smaller quantity of ink in a cartridge converter or the shorter refill cartridges. I have used pens with these and still have some, but prefer a piston filler for the usually larger quantity of ink it can hold. It is even better (for me) when I can also look at it and see how much ink remains. But, if you have those and then rarely use it, ink can dry in the feed. In that case, something with an ink cut-off, like the Pilot Custom 823 Amber, may let the majority of ink remain even if not used. That pen is one of my favorites.

You can try any pen as a starter. But, if you don't like it, remember the preferences. That pen may not suit you, but another may be a perfect fit. Welcome to the hunt for the perfect pen.

The Allison was much older than the P-51 airframe, it was used earlier e.g. for the P-39 and P-40. My memory of Mustang history is a bit hazy, but IIRC the Mustang was originally meant to use the Allison and later they switched to the Merlin to get better high altitude performance as the Allison lacked a two-stage supercharger. But maybe you're right that it was originally meant for the Merlin and the Allison was a stopgap until Merlin production ramped up in the states.

Minnesota Nickel Mine Could Foretell Future of America’s Electric Car Industry
> Most of the cheeses I ate when living in Germany are available in the US in the cheese section of a reasonably nice grocery store

I was trying to express a more generic statement. Germany has Quark, which the US doesn't, even though it could (and probably does if you have a Polish supermarket). The US has half-and-half [half cream and half milk], which is completely unknown in Germany, but there are like, 4 different levels of fat content for cream.

I.e. if a German reads a recipe from the US that includes Heavy Whipping Cream, they just have to look up what that is and find something that is similar-ish. The identical product might not exist, since the dairy industry produces different products fitting specific legal definitions.

You are completely correct that there are a lot of dependency bugs here, I would just like to pedantically complain that the issue in question is PyTorch supporting MPS, which is basically entirely a C++ dependency issue rather than a Python one. (PyTorch being mostly written in C++ despite having "py" in the name.) And yeah the state of C++ dependency management is pretty bad.
What I meant was *For atomics*, rust does not encode the difference between "is true" and "was, at least briefly, true" in the type system. Obviously, rust has many ways to track this kind of distinction in a compile-time manner (and yes, the borrow checker is one of them). That was not in question.
Offering people time and flexibility is also effective. Some could work '4 on 4 off' schedules, for example.
Yes, you need AN office. Meaning, you do need space where you can sit down and work.

Does it need to be the same office everyone goes to? Probably for some jobs, but I'd be doubtful of someone trying to claim it is the majority of jobs.
My experience is that there are no problem. The same oh so important bugs are there waiting for you in the bug tracker when you come back.

Warrants are still required to compel data from companies like cell phone companies. This is different. This is a company expressly setup to sell data they gather to the police.

This might actually not be a bad idea. That being said I think a lot of the environments would be too dry for beavers and not contain enough trees. Or conversely be too alpine.

So basically we need genetically engineered super beavers that are adapted for high altitude mountaineering.

On another note I find it hilarious and also cruel that beavers are apparently absolutely obsessed with stopping the sound of any running water. To the point that if one wanders near your home and can regularly hear water running inside of pipes it drives them crazy.

What we are seeing this summer in Seattle and I assume in much of the western US is not extreme heat like we had last year, but sustained higher than normal heat. Our summers are usually moderately warm early, then peak in temperature around the end of July and then begin tapering off. This year the temps have stayed at that elevated level for over 2 months and no indication of an end.
