Does she see you doing things that you enjoy? Or even things that you have to do that you can bring her into?

Even things like dishes, housework, going on walks—these are things that you can encourage them in. They can see your joy in them.

We do this with walks—it's also one of the main reasons why we have a Switch game console. Games like Mario Kart 8 are fun for the older kids but even younger kids can "play along" and not be a burden to the rest of the folks playing.

What's counter intuitive in some of this is that initially your enjoyment in these things _will be lower_. You're gonna have to slow down your walk. Take extra time to explain things. Let them try and fail. Sometimes you'll have redo what they've done. But what matters most is that they are included. They are part of the family—and their time with you and with the family is valued.
Why wouldn't this fall into stuff like public easement?
Another article I read on this had a (IMHO) clever hack to the problem; the interlopers brought a ladder and oriented it so that they could climb from one corner to the other without the possibility of touching private land.

But that doesn't work either as apparently land owners also own the air above their land. Sadly, no sarcasm tag here.

It was something like that; I remember my friend’s mom arguing for a hour to get the mouse for free (it was advertised as such or something on any new PC and the sales guy wanted to say it didn’t apply) and they forgot to charge for windows 95.

Of course soon is was bundled with any prebuilt but back at release those were relatively rare and expensive.
That is what I was thinking, the title was pretty clear and it is a good thing (if anything, probably a larger portion of the land should stay pristine).
This question is framed in an anthropocentric way that equates the thing that stings you with an individual bee.

In reality, it is not only much more useful but much more correct to think of the entire hive - or perhaps only the queen - as the individual bee.

That flying thing that stings you might not be a "bee" at all and the fact that it "dies" might be about as interesting to the hive/queen as clipping a fingernail is to you.

Bitcoin's throughput is artificially capped anyways. It can't ever be used for anything where throughput matters, regardless of whether it's at its peak throughput or not.

Edit: Furthermore, it's completely normal for Bitcoin's throughput to jump up and down by 40% for an hour during any normal day (and even down to zero blocks in an entire hour every once in a while). Block variance means that blocks come in unpredictably, and each block has a hard size limit, so the network can't "make up for" the lost throughput.
There is a saying in my region told by our elders.

Academics (and "Hackers"/Visionaries) in every field are doing the same thing every day. It is called (open) experimentation/Imagination/Theorisation.

Tools for thought are no different. Computers/HCI are still in their infancy and these ideas (xanadu…) are just not mature yet. What's the rush?

Even already mature paradigms are not easy to popularize in this domain. Take Obsidian. It is really just hyperlinked text files (at the core). Yet, most people, 30 pages after hyperlinks got popular, will fail to comprehend its utility.

We are still in the phase of tools of thought where even outliners are a novelty. Try adding a "semantic" DB on top of that outliner, and some will call it "a new fundamental model" [1].

My point is : For most (truly) new ideas/methods, it is normal that the manifestation is (ever) out of reach. It is like Charles Babbage reaching for the computer. It was completly out of his reach. Yet, his vision had value for the future.

I think your appraisal is totally reasonable. I used to work as a software engineer. I really enjoy programming, but needed more variation in my day-to-day. I ended up deciding to get a PhD in computer science and am now doing a postdoc where I'm on the faculty of a math department, where I teach one course per semester. My time is split evenly between doing research (which is a mix of programming and working problems out with people on the board or on paper), teaching (which involves class prep, lecturing, grading, hosting office hours, etc.), and mentoring (advising undergrads and master's students on projects). I love that my day is more balanced now. I have way more energy for programming when I can choose to do it from between 0 and 8 hours a day.

This isn't to say that you would enjoy the same career, only that moving from programming to something "programming adjacent" was absolutely the right move for me. I make much less money, but my philosophy has always been that it's better to find a job that I'll be happy with in the long run instead of feeling the constant need to FIRE or something else.

One thing you should keep in mind is that as you advance in the industry, you shouldn't need to spend every day programming. You can move into management. But the job remains pretty sedentary.

I always thought becoming a nurse or a physician's assistant (PA) seemed interesting. (Or a doctor if you can handle the long-term commitment.) Depending on the type of unit you find yourself in, the work can be physically demanding. People who do this kind of work appreciate people who are timely, reliable, and orderly. They also especially appreciate people who are physically strong. The work can be demanding and interesting and pays well. There is a decent amount of socializing, but it doesn't have to be all the time.
Even worse are the phantom notifications that don't come from an obvious application. No clue what's getting chimed about.

And that doesn't matter one bit, because their direct experience means nothing to the actual reality. Millions of people are dead and using one's own personal experience to pretend that it was actually no big deal is just willful ignorance.
This phenomena has been somewhat frustrating to me trying to plan hiking routes around North Lake Tahoe and Truckee. It's somewhat vexing how deteriorated recreation in the wilderness is because of this land ownership pattern. Even with a corner easement, it's not always the sensible place to have a trail. The result is many public squares that cannot be used as intended.

The problem is less prevalent farther to the south.
The overlapping of WiFi and radars in Europe and America is a HUGE headache. In comparison, for example in Australia, they have channels 116-128 forbidden (see the table at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels#5_GHz_(8... ) and it is so much easier to operate there (yeah, I get it, with lower available bandwidth to 5GHz wifi).

As you can see in the article, the radar pulse sequence to trigger DFS requires pretty short pulse widths, but you want to use pulse compression (with longer pulses) in modern radars, so you won't trigger DFS. Additionally, you may scan over particular location only once per 5 minutes, so again you have lower chance to trigger it. And another challenge are ever-changing atmospheric conditions - maybe sometimes you won't see the wifi device and so you won't trigger the DFS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anomalous_propagation) and then the conditions change and you suddenly start getting interference until the DFS on the remote end re-evaluates.

We have a radar on the Czech-German border and it's interesting that we have way worse interference coming from the Czech side. But this may also be because of some local conditions.

In the comments, it is suggested to transmit a pseudorandom code and then correlate it with the received signal to filter out uncorrelated interference. I'm of course doing this, but it helps for point targets (towers, airplanes) - not so much for distributed targets (clouds), especially when they are not stable in time (the droplets all vibrating in turbulences) - so the replicas you receive are distorted by various means, instead of a single reflection you get from e.g. an airplane.

What helps A LOT is a wifi packet detector, which completely blanks the data when the remote station is transmitting, so our radar is basically operating in the gaps between the packets. For some products (such as reflectivity), we have enough oversampling so we can interpolate the gaps; for other products this degrades the data. But at least you get gaps, not giant "lightsabers".
"Car-free small town just sounds weird"

Almost no significant urban area is going to be totally car free (unless you're one of a handful of towns/cities across the world - often tourist destinations - where it really is basically impossible to use a car, Venice being the archetypical example), but I've been to small towns in various parts of the world where car usage is far far lower than what we're generally accustomed to in much of the developed world. And they're almost all vastly nicer places to visit than those where the infrastructure dedicated to high-speed automobile travel dwarfs everything else. I imagine those that live there are those that have made peace with a limited-car-usage existence. Some of them aren't even especially dense - it's just a lifestyle choice to make shorter/slower trips mostly (on foot, or by bicycle etc.), and reserve the car for the occasional longer trip into a bigger town for whatever can't be obtained locally.

Whilst Berlin'ers are often fluent in English, Government services, or even simple things like visiting a post-office, are conducted in German only and seldom published in other languages.

Learning the language and having some friends who are native speakers really goes a long way. (But I imagine that this insight would ring true for most if not all of Europe)
Of note is the case mentioned at the top of the article has been resolved. The defendants where found not-guilty of the charges of trespassing, and a related charge is expected to be dropped. [1]

No idea if this sets any sort of precedent. I suspect not, given how much of a quagmire all of this is.

Python would be the most popular option, but, for an OO language, Ruby feels clean and intuitive to me in a way that other languages, especially Python, don't. It has a performance cost, though. The two languages' performance may be roughly equivalent, but Python has more native-code libraries for performance-critical tasks. You don't see many ML projects in Ruby. :) There's crystal-lang, but that has a much smaller community behind it.

Julia, though, if you're looking for a language that isn't OO in addition to functional.
Whatever course of action reduces/transfers the manufactures' liability, would be my guess.
Cannot speak for this exact scenario, but generally in western and northern Europe (the only places I am familiar enough with) there doesn’t exist the culture of suing that the US has gained a reputation for - deserved or not.
An ecosystem should support these stakeholders too:

Firefighters and EMS need shift scheduling, timekeeping, payroll, and the ability to fill out site-customizable forms.

Doctors and nurses know what "the better EMR" shouldn't be, but it can be difficult to communicate requirements up the chain.

Regulatory and government need various mechanisms of data exchange formats, and the ability to query stored data.

In short, developers needed.

> Do you posit a non-physical Human Soul?

I do, more or less. It may turn out to be physical but it also doesn't matter in the end. It is present regardless of source and so we must address its presence.

People always and everywhere have appealed to natural law to explain and justify the horrors of the world so you're in popular company though not one I would choose. And always and everywhere others have ignored them and corrected those injustices, gradually, anyway.
> But that doesn't work either as apparently land owners also own the air above their land. Sadly, no sarcasm tag here.

Not sure why that’s surprising. If that wasn’t true, then there would be nothing preventing someone from extending their home over someone’s else property by simply ensuring the extension never touched the ground.

Land ownership kinda has to include air rights above it, last I checked, humans aren’t capable of existing in a purely 2D space.

Corner-crossing is obviously an odd place where geometry and reality collide to produce some very odd results. But just because this specific edge-case make air right look silly, doesn’t mean that air right are a bad idea. In the vast majority of situations air right accurately reflect people’s common understanding of property rights.

That's where "No Trespassing" signs come into play. IANAL but from what I understand you can't normally get sued if a trespasser does something stupid on your property. Obviously, thinks like tiger pits or other things designed to cause injury can still make you liable though.
I experienced a similar thing from purchasing something from a fraud (realized what happened after I submitted payment) website that used PayPal for payment. PayPal refused to follow or investigate what I was saying and found. I had to get my credit card company to issue a charge back. They listened to me. I told them how to call FedEx with the tracking number and that FedEx cannot divulge the actual delivery address but they are allowed to verify if the package was delivered to a given (one's home) address. The scammers send a package with tracking number to an address in the same zip code and have people grab/pickup the package, or they have access to FedEx's system and can look up package tracking numbers. The size and weight of the packages won't make any sense for the dimensions of the item(s) purchased too. PayPal also refuses to close the PayPal account associated with the scam website!

Agreed, but when you have this many “don’t do what Donny Don’t does”, that may be a smell. I use React a lot and like it, but I do feel that way sometimes. I like that these docs are at least prescriptive and tell you what you should do instead.

The solution is even simpler: right to roam. Give all people the right to traverse wild, undeveloped private property at their own risk, with no liability for the owner (assuming good faith on the owner’s part).

A lot of the confusion people have with useEffect is the React team’s dishonest approach to it.

useEffect WAS for side-effects. That’s why it’s named that.

That’s literally the first sentence in the Effects hook page in the current non-Beta documentation.

> The Effect Hook lets you perform side effects in function components:

https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-effect.html

I completely agree that useEffect should not be used for side effects. The concept of using it to sync with an external system makes far more sense.

But this is a very different and new understanding of what useEffect is. The React team, for whatever reason, does not present it as that. They do not point out that, yes, this was originally supposed to be for effects but they realized that this was a bad idea and have refined how they believe it should be used.

Instead, the documentation and commentary around such changes never point out they are changes and just present them as how things are. Which leads to a tremendous amount of confusion among new developers learning React, because it’s never clear what the actual correct approach is, since you rarely come across commentary in a temporally ordered way.

If the Beta docs included the statement “we used to recommend this for side effects, but now don’t”, any newbie reading that will forever understand why the highly upvoted SO answer from 3 years ago recommends using useEffect for a certain side effect but today, that is probably not the right solution.
