> The sleepless nights and diaper changes are a mere blip on the scale of a lifetime with kids.

You're looking at what, 2-5 years of that? Per kid? Plus the huge time commitments for all of the other burdensome stuff that having kids entails, like school and transport and non-school education? 2-5 years out of a lifetime isn't much, but 2-5 years out of your 30s or early 40s is a gigantic percentage of your remaining not-old life. Unless you're a major biological outlier, you're not traveling on sporting vacations or backpacking trips or hallucinogen-fueled music festivals when you're 55. You don't get a lot of useful years remaining as a not-old person by the time you're old enough to responsibly have kids. It's a gigantic tradeoff and to minimize it like this is woefully shortsighted.

It's fine if you like kids and didn't have actual plans to have fun in your 30s or 40s, but people with exciting lives will lose a lot if they suddenly have to dedicate almost all of their free time for 5 years to their offspring.

This is also assuming that you have more than enough money to spend on kids and all of the other things you like to do in life. Even if kids took 0 time (which as we know they do not), this is not true for most people.

> You actually like hanging out with your own kids.

Some people do. Sometimes children grow up to be terrible, for reasons outside of direct parental control. Not every potential bad final outcome can be avoided with good parenting. Not everyone who thinks kids might be a good idea is capable of being a good parent.

I personally find the idea of having huge, tremendously expensive, hugely time-consuming, unavoidable responsibilities like this in the middle of the prime of my life to be a living nightmare, for well-considered reasons which you seem to simply handwave away as trivial. Having kids and raising them well must necessarily become one of your primary goals in life, displacing others as there are only 24 hours in each day.

We don't have a lot of time left.
The spike protein was selected because prior research into SARS and MERS showed that vaccines targeting the spike had the best immune response as compared to other proteins. They were aware it could mutate because the spike of SARS2 was different than SARS or MERS.

Also vaccines against the ancestral stain are still quite effective at preventing serious disease against every variant we've seen so far.

I don't know what point you are trying to make but you are basing it on incorrect information.
The reason you found it so hard is because you weren't doing the implementation, which is why software developers should be taking on that role.

At that point you're a glorified translator hoping that both sides are understanding each other perfectly. And what's worse is they both speak English!
I'm curious about the workflow for these employees... How do your staff actually get things done? Are they in excel/word/email all day long? Custom apps?

In dev/data science there are some okay cloud providers (gitpod, etc) that work resonably well on iPad in a pinch but I can't see moving dev full time to one.
> Nothing currently beats the usd on either count and that’s the currency of exchange in El Salvador. Because of that there is no incentive for businesses to change their currency of account. And if uptake on the consumer side is low there is no reason at all to accept a new currency.

My treasury experience is limited to what I have in my wallet, but I can say using the USD is definitely one of the advantages of El Salvador and Panama compared to the rest of Latin America.

The coins I get as change in a fruit stall in El Salvador, can be used to pay a subway ticket vending machine in the U.S. The banknotes I get from an ATM in a small town in El Salvador, can be exchanged for local currency in another continent. Just some of the advantages of the local currency being the most traded currency in the world.
This will solve the "spotify didn't actually download my offline playlist" problem, but unfortunately there is rarely room to use a laptop on the plane unless you're flying business.
Same for me, I never liked being around or babysitting young kids that much. But it is totally different with my own kids. And I have noticed that I don't avoid other people's young children quite as much now either because I have learned to appreciate their energy, happiness, and humor (both intentional and unintentional humor).
What’s the practical cost to having it?

I fly regularly, and it will absolutely become a problem on day 1.
Why do so many companies separate product and engineering if it creates all these problems?

In my experience it works better when engineers report to product engineering managers. The only trade off is that you have to find engineers who have good product opinions, and product managers who the engineers actually want to be managed by - which helps you execute, anyway.
I mean yes. I don't program for fun as much as I do other things, but when I find some annoyance which I grumble, "I could fucking write a better X!" and then I actually do it, it's very satisfying.

Example: I was trying to find a Windows (or Android) platform podcast downloader so I could pull down all episodes of a particular podcast, and then get the raw files to put on whatever device, I discovered that the one I used to use way back was hopelessly broken. The remaining podcast downloaders either:

1. Sucked

2. Required an account for some goddamn reason

3. Both

I had written something to scrape a podcast in a scripting language for a project helping out a friend (downloading and speech-to-text converting her sister's podcast to provide a transcript of when she was getting shit-talked on the internet), and thought I could do something much cleaner and usable.

In about 30 minutes I had a downloader which worked well enough for the podcast I wanted. It was about 20ish lines of code. Drunk on my own sense of power, I tried it on another podcast, and found a few corner cases and fixed them. 60ish lines, and about 1:15 invested.

I tried more and more podcasts, and put in another 9-10 hours or so. I'm at 100sh lines. I have a lot more corner cases handled (inconsistency in the XML, different file extensions, etc.) and it now basically works close to 100% of the time well enough for me.

When you build your own tools, and then you use your own tools, it's like having a superpower. Like having an extra set of hands. The journey too is fun, solving problems.
That phrase is my mantra.

I feel the same way, no one has been really able to tell me I should think differently so I keep that top of mind. Sure, there are some genuinely important things that can be counted on one hand. The rest are just window dressing and are just me farting around, mostly.
Do you similiarly object when they turn to the family member in the next seat over and hold a conversation?
I think the OP is trying to point out that Copilot can be used to help achieve 'evil', and used the white house example above.

I don't think anyone ever suggested it couldn't be used for evil. By default, everything can be used for evil. Kitchen knives can be used for evil.
'Strange Odyssey" perhaps?
Codesearch at least provides users the ability to hunt down any licensing concerns. Unless Copilot start spitting out citations (this snippet was generated based on repositories x, y, z, here are links) the users of the tool have no way to verify if they are in any way in violation of the licenses.
WebKit is vastly superior to Blink on Mac.
Yeah, I asked him to elaborate, although I don't remember his answer in detail. He said something about AI safety and making sure that AI is used for good and not evil.

I don't want to strawman him, though. I simply don't remember his answer in detail.
Computers are a specifically engineered thing, they are not the sort of object that evolves naturally, at least not as an initial step (the first step is autonomous nourishment and, you know, motion). Silicon-based life forms would likely not be computer-like at all. They would probably still extract energy from oxygen and various other chemicals, they would have their own bacteria and fungi that eat and decompose silicon compounds, and they would probably still not survive in space.

Also, even though silicon has interesting properties on its own, carbon is kind of just better at everything else. It can make bigger and more stable structures, for example. Its oxide is also not, you know, a stable and unreactive solid. So it would be surprising for life forms not to use carbon extensively, unless it was much too rare, and in that case I honestly doubt it would get very far. As a building block, carbon is just outstanding, there is a reason life on Earth is based on it even though there is a thousand times more silicon than carbon on the planet.

How would you differentiate between those who are:

Not quite the same as comparing a spouse to a pet. Both children and pets are 100% dependent on you so there are similarities.
I believe the history file is a SQLite database. I suppose you could maybe do something with that directly.
Practical “cost” is that it raises the bar on clients wanting to access the material, some of which could be very old I suppose.
> I don't think you fully grasped what I was implying.

I understood you. This example doesn't illustrate the same concept. You're talking about allowing RPC into a running program. The talk is about RPC to your IDE as you develop the program. These are very different situations.

The colloquialism "thinking about security at every level" doesn't mean that shipping a program on air-gapped faraday-caged hardware is the only security. Any machine running a website can have the program modified by changing the HTML (or HTML generating code) at any time. Ruby, PHP, Perl, or even Tomcat (which will reload artifacts in realtime, without some tweaks) are hobbled versions of the same concept. Elixir/Erlang and LISP coding (et al) is live coding due to the nature of the runtime.

This idea of having an interactive program, as you develop, does not preclude a hardened artifact (which has never been the problem, since swapping out a replacement that's hardened would make that pointless) but that's partly the point. Making new toys and features, the talk is about the important elements to keep focusing on and why to move development forward.

What do you mean? I've flown before and 14" or 13.3" laptop fits just fine on the seat tray.
I went and got my laptop to type up a reply to this:

Instagram's tagging system was and is atrocious in combination with their discovery mechanisms and the incentives they create.

A real example, this has been true for years: I want to look at pictures of Jennifer Lawrence's makeup because she, like me, has hooded eyes and that makes useful reference. I go to instagram imagining that I will find fan accounts posting pictures. I search for #jenniferlawrence. 2.8 million posts. Nice.

https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/jenniferlawrence/

Only three of the top nine pictures present there today (same on mobile for me) are of Jennifer Lawrence.

This is what happens when all the engagement is counted in one big engagement bucket, all eyeballs are equal eyeballs, and all likes are equal likes. There are two gorgeous pictures of Anne Hathaway here, and I'm sure they've gotten great engagement, but they are absolute shit at being pictures of Jennifer Lawrence. So now I have to scroll through a ton of absolutely irrelevant nonsense – with attendant ads, let's not forget the ads – if I actually want to use this tag for its sole raison d'etre.

For contrast, consider what happens when a picture is cross-posted on Reddit. If I upvote it in one subreddit, I am giving an engagement signal specific to that subreddit – and I as one user may choose to downvote that same picture in another if I think it doesn't fit there!

This isn't limited to low-effort reposting of professional photographers' work. It happens in less egregious ways for many, many tags in many areas I've seen on IG for quite a few years now (though I can't speak for the whole history of the app). Artists tagging media they're not using, etc. etc.

Agreed, but a pet peeve is when you ask a question on StackOverflow, and get asked why you're doing it, the answer to which isn't need to respond to the post at all. But they want to know. Fine. Fair enough. So you tell them, and then they proceed to tell you that that's not what you should do, and instead should do something else.

So now you have multiple comments in your post that has nothing to do with anything. It's just noise and a waste of time.

Also, maybe I have a very good reason for why I want to do something and I'm not really willing to tell the world because proprietary in nature.

Not to speak for an Anglican, but the 39 Articles state:

XXVIII. Of the Lord's Supper.

The Supper of the Lord is not only a sign of the love that Christians ought to have among themselves one to another, but rather it is a Sacrament of our Redemption by Christ's death: insomuch that to such as rightly, worthily, and with faith, receive the same, the Bread which we break is a lpartaking of the Body of Christ; and likewise the Cup of Blessing is a partaking of the Blood of Christ.

Transubstantiation (or the change of the substance of Bread and Wine) in the Supper of the Lord, cannot be proved by Holy Writ; but is repugnant to the plain words of Scripture, overthroweth the nature of a Sacrament, and hath given occasion to many superstitions.

The Body of Christ is given, taken, and eaten, in the Supper, only after an heavenly and spiritual manner. And the mean whereby the Body of Christ is received and eaten in the Supper, is Faith.

The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was not by Christ's ordinance reserved, carried about, lifted up, or worshipped.
Blaming obesity on fat (especially unsaturated fat) appears to be one of the significant health travesties of the last century. It's surprising how long it took for health professionals to come to their senses, especially with the amount of obesity that continued to rise despite the proliferation of non-fat and low-fat products in grocery stores

I'm glad to see a trend back to old fashioned sweeteners such as honey, agave, and maple syrup. The less sugar and high fructose corn syrup consumed, the better.
All this arguing about what the KMT did and the relationship going back to the ROC doesn't matter. Today Taiwan is a democracy, is no threat to anyone, and deserves every right of self-determination. Democracies should work together to collectively protect each other from the authoritarian countries that want to take them over and destroy their democracies.
> At the section where he flashes an image of a re-imagined periodic table, he immediately exclaimed "look how beautiful it is!" and I was immediately instead confused …

As it happens, this particular version of the periodic table is my own favourite. It’s perhaps easier to see why it’s so nice if you look at a larger version [0] — the periodicity is extremely obvious, not just in the elements themselves but also in the arrangement of the d- and f-blocks (which are in fact obscured in the usual periodic table). On the other hand, I suppose it’s true that trends in electronegativity etc. become somewhat less obvious. As with everything, it’s a trade-off.

I've heard stories of how difficult the process of adopting kids can be. So, kudos to you, that sounds like a lot to manage.

Regarding opting out, I get it, but I don't agree personally. Not having kids, can enable some pretty great lifestyles. But I do feel like you don't get a chance to understand what being a parent is all about. No amount of being a great aunt / uncle / whatever, gives you that feeling of needing to nurture or protect your child.

It forces you to change, maintain a good relationship w/ your partner, be a good role model, etc.

If I was do it again, I'd try to do it earlier.

Is this "spending time" or physically in the same building?

I was home "with my family" for 6+ hours but we were definitely not interacting with each other outside of meals. I was on my computer, siblings on tv, others doing random stuff. Nothing unreasonable at all.

The article is trying to point out about quality time not just physically in the presence of each other.

Such a question is so context-dependent that it becomes fairly meaningless. For example, in some cases (such as imminent risk of drowning due to a being in a capsized boat), your next breath of air will be the thing you care most about in life. If a person has a new baby, taking care of that baby tends to become the thing they care most about in life. And so on.

It's the kind of question people are instructed to ask in a marketing/networking tutorial, i.e. 'when meeting the client, try to find out what makes the client tick, via asking big picture questions and engaging in active listening.'

Nope,

Apple didn’t listen. They had to make a low cost plastic version of the ipad to survive education.

The chromebook is far cheaper and far more functional.

Kids throw devices like crazy and it turns out that having a glass-only ipad is more expensive (spending $100 on a case that successfully helps it survive is one expensive solution though!).

Note that all this is coming from a huge iPad fan that has used it from day 1 (and I am typing this on my ipad pro!).

Human ears have much better dynamic range than whatever crappy microphones are built into phones. Thus, when people are sitting next to each other in a public space, they can typically whisper, or talk just above the noise floor. This is as opposed to phones, which posses an uncanny ability to cause people to yell at the top of their lungs.

Small but awesome. This is a really great API that solves a huge annoyance with formatting JS numbers. No more pulling in a 200k library, or writing another util function just to handle adding commas to a number.

Docker is a resoponse to the rejoinder of "works on my machine" when there is a production problem. Rather than working out why there is a problem in production, it's bascically a way tojust run the dev machine in production. Never been sure why anyone thought that was a great idea, but I guess it does solve that one issue.
As a meta-comment why does everything bad need some sort of impetus to drive the point home? For example here, "...affects those most in need". Sure, I agree, it most likely does. This is obvious at it's face. If someone stole $500 from me I'd be pissed, but it wouldn't keep me from feeding my family.

It feels like news in general leverages this for extra views. Card skimming effects everyone that includes poor people. It's not "a little more okay" when it happens to people who are not needy. However, the language seems to imply this. Like card skimming wasn't an issue until it started having an effect on poor people. It really cheapens the article when I read this.
i'm primarily using hsl now (though have long used rgb before that), but have experimented with oklch because of the promise of an even more uniform perceptual color space. the big problem i found with lch & oklch are discontinuities in the valid ranges of lightness and chroma, which functionally dependent on the hue value (from my perspective that hue is the independent variable to set first).

color spaces definitely defy straightforward intuition about them.
