My grandson was sleep trained and I was a skeptic at first. But it basically took less than 48 hours before he learned to self soothe and was on a schedule with never more than about 15 mins of fussing in that initial training phase.

After he was trained and got on his sleep schedule he was the happiest baby I have ever been around and I raised 3 kids myself and have 3 other grandchildren. He never has issues with overtiredness and basically will only fuss if diaper needs changed or was hungry. Now he just flat out tells you when he is tired (“nigh-nigh”) at 18 months and it’s almost always nearly to the minute of when it is his bed or nap time and within a minute or two of being in bed…he is zonked.

Everyone I know who has done it sings it’s praises and in our own observation it’s simply amazing. I am no longer a skeptic. Also I will say this, if the crying is the stressful and damaging situation to babies, then in our experience the net result is less stress for the child with sleep training.

I don't know how true it is, but I remember learning back in elementary school there were cases of Europeans dying from food poisoning after eating some Inuit dishes without proper "training".
> You've got filter, map, reduce, and recursion.

Right, and you can implement a recursive function in Haskell, OCaml, or Scheme that looks more or less identical in all 3 languages, and is only a recursion-transformation away from the for-loop version seen in Python, Ruby, Java, etc. So all the functional recursion-based implementations will look similar, and all the imperative loop-based implementations will look similar, and the two classes of implementations will also have a lot of overarching similarity.

The basic pattern of "obtain system state, do thing, set up next system state, proceed to next thing" is the same. The differences between languages (read: sets of tools that you are given for expressing algorithms) tend not to become apparent until you've spent a little while working with them.

I can't speak specifically to Erlang because I haven't used it, but from what I've seen the story should be the same.
I really want to thank you for your reply. You took the time to point me to what you think is the right direction, i.e., the current meaning of the word.

However, I know I didn't mention this before, but my point was more subtle, even to me at the time as I was not totally aware on why I even bothered to point out the origin of the word.

Today, looking at your reply, I had it more clear. Here we have an article telling us about a terrible thing, that is, the destruction of an unrecoverable piece of history. And in that same article, the writer engages in a language that is just the result of a prejudice against an old group of people, namely the Vandals.

Why are the Vandals vandals? Because they destroyed parts of the Roman empire. So the Romans and their ways stand for what is considered correct, civilized, the apex of civilization, while all other peoples including the Vandals are not. The Vandals vandalize in the sense that they go against the established order.

But hidden in this assumption is the very idea that Romans acted differently from the Vandals. That they, when they imposed themselves on others, were somewhat more polished, more sophisticated. They were not. They vandalized, or should I say _romanized_, the Vandals and all other peoples around them.

So by using this language, even when we are not thinking about it, we end up perpetuating these hidden assumptions. The same could be said about using other words, but this word in particular made me feel this way when I read the article.

Anyway, thanks again for your comment. If I wasn't aware of the new meaning of the word, your comment would definitely improve my understanding. Unfortunately, I was just too obscure to really get my point across at the time.

. Growing up in Portugal, and learning about the Vandals in school, gave me a kind of feeling of relating more closely to that group. Partly because of this, they are not just historic trivia. I feel somewhat connected to them, though this may not be a real biological connection. I hope you get the gist of it.

So, I'm in the middle of building a backend for the first time and I was evaluating PostgREST just yesterday.

Here's the value prop: Your database is the "source of truth" but can be accessed in many, MANY different ways. Usually via some kind of ORM system.

This can give you a head start on building a more carefully considered REST API - where it gives you the base CRUD routes for every table in an acceptable format and you can build on top of it. Or if you're accessing your DB through some other interface for your web app but need something quick to build a new face for the service like a mobile app.

I recently ditched building a traditional REST API in favor of just using what my ORM provides to interact with my DB. Something like this will come in handy if I ever need one.

I think you're really blowing this out of the water here and making a bigger deal than it is. I'm in a very liberal area and this hasn't come up at all.

To me it sounds like you're against discussing those things - which sounds like trying to suppress speech, imo.
I wonder if this was just lazy MVP development or a conscious strategy to get attention. I never would have heard of them without this controversy, and it's something very cheap for them to fix (just rename). Probably need to attract more than just HN, but if they can somehow turn this into a few mainstream press articles about "tiny Mastodon photo service attacked by Mark Zuckerberg, personally!", it's a win, especially since the remedy is renaming an internal product feature where the names themselves aren't even significant. (Probably doing a "community poll to come up with new names" would be a worthwhile growth hack, too.)
Agreed: it's not the concept alone, but the execution. BN, Borders, BAM!, and others all tried the same strategy.

Borders is already out of business, and BAM! looks like it's on its way (it's no longer public so financials are difficult to know, but part time employees report that they get more or fewer hours based on how many gift cards they sell, which indicates cash flow problems).

BN is the only one doing well, and it's my opinion that this is due to being a comfortable place to buy and read books. By contrast, book selection at BAM! is atrocious, and the cafes all seem cold, uninviting, and surrounded by gimmicks and toys.
But do they cry more or less if they are sleep trained vs co-sleeping? Varies I am sure, but in our case at least our children slept soundly whenever not nursing while co-sleeping but for our ill-fated attempt at sleep training just cried and cried and cried (a mistake we tried only with our eldest). To each their own - I say do whatever works!

This is mostly down to a marketing choice by Tesla; they have very, very few models, and only one brand. VW Group normally sells more EVs than Tesla in Europe today in any given time period, but they have about 10 brands, each of which has a couple of EVs and lots of non-EVs.
> so the NUC are being sold at obscene prices....

A question I keep asking is what happened to the cheap NUC's?

This question has been bothering me since the $199 J1900 NUC disappeared years back and was never replaced by a comparative low power and low cost NUC. Instead we got $400+ i3/5/7 NUC's and some silly $1200 NUC with a skull on it for gaming. They were at one point cost effective but that suddenly stopped.

Few weeks back I picked up an i5 NUC on sale for $300 from Newegg which is the lowest I've seen a quad core NUC in a long time (maybe I'm not looking hard enough). It's hooked to my TV and is just another desktop that also happens to play Hulu.

Have you looked into CRDTs (Conflict Free Replicated Data Types)? Here is a paper on them: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1805.06358.pdf

With CRDTs, it becomes much easier to perform concurrent updates in a distributed system and decouples each replica from each other, since state can always merge to reach the same state.

This Rust crate has good documentation with more explanation (even if you don’t use Rust): https://crates.io/crates/crdts

Intimations of a New World Worldview with Tom Morgan and Brett Andersen
Something that has fascinated, and please correct me if I'm wrong, is that the Romans so successfully eradicated a local history in that some cases and places there is virtually no knowledge of what was before Rome. The greatest example is of Romania, which clearly wasn't called that - it was Dacia. But we don't know a great deal about Dacia or the post-Greek kingdoms that were in this region before Dacia because of just how effectively Rome could erase a history after conquering the region.

We know only what was totally destroyed. But elsewhere there is a richer history that was passed down and survived. In the lands where Rome wanted to impose themselves, pottery and ruins is all that remains.
Putting the government question aside, what prevents Google and advertisers from using your own data to your disadvantage?

For example: personalizing pricing based on how much you’re likely to be willing to pay.

I’m flying to a tropical destination in a couple weeks, I live in a cold climate, and I just ordered a bunch of new warm weather clothes and some swim suits for my trip.

Any corporation with access to my email would know about my trip, my home address, any previous online clothing purchases, and how much I paid for given articles of clothing.

Using that, they can make a decent estimate of how elastic my demand is for the new clothes, and how much I’m willing to pay — especially if they leverage detailed financial information that’s readily available from data brokers.

How much would retailers by willing to pay for that kind of pricing insight?

How much would you overpay for goods and services thanks to that massive information asymmetry, in exchange for free e-mail hosting?

That’s not a far-fetched future; giving corporations, data brokers, and the government access to the most intricate inner-most details of your life hastens its arrival, and is dangerously and willfully naive.
Yeah this is true, cutoff is probably 4 or so.
What's being skipped over in a lot of reporting is that Southwest has serious issues maintaining ground staff staffing, and has been struggling with that the entire pandemic because they refuse to pay market rate. This means that planes can't be unloaded and turned around in any reasonable amount of time. I gave up completely on southwest after I was stuck on a plane for 4 hours this summer, because of lack of ground crew to unload the planes, and thus planes were stuck on the tarmac.

Add on to that the latest technology woes, the storm was just the thing that tipped over a company that had cut operational capacity to the bone.

Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats are fine, but saturated fat (plant or animal), besides increasing your risk of CVD, also decreases insulin sensitivity, something people who flock to faddish fat-heavy diets like keto should be concerned about:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5291812/

BTW, your body can make all of the saturated fat it needs from the essential unsaturated (o3/o6) fats you consume. It's strange how people say things like "there's no such thing as an essential dietary carbohydrate," but don't acknowledge the same about saturated fat. Also wild game meat isn't nearly as fatty as domesticated meat, and the fat is much less saturated:

Fats in products were gradually replaced with sugars, so it really is cut and dry. It doesn’t imply that fats are healthy but obesity is exclusively carb related in the overwhelming majority.
It is not a lease though. A lease has a specified time. "Buying" in this context has an unspecified time. I have movies I "bought" on these platforms which have been accessible for well over a decade. If this was forced to be a lease which specified a time (say, 1 year? 5 years?) I would have already lost access to it, massively reducing its value to me.
I'm not a dietary expert but have you not gone on a Atkins / South Beach / keto / whatever we're calling it this year diet? It's pretty telling. I shed excess weight, I feel amazing and most allergy / autoimmune stuff disappears from my life. The hard part is eating like that the rest of your life.

Even if it did increase risk of heart disease, which I think it most likely does not, I'd rather live a life feeling amazing and die at 75 than feeling subpar all the time living until 95.
Completely agreed. If the children and parents are happy and healthy, whatever is happening in their home is working for them and it's absolutely not my place to question it. Everybody is different.

There are definitely ways to export passwords from what I have read though I don't think there are convenient ways to import.

I use LastPass families with my wife so my rough plan is to:

1. Evaluate 1password, bitwarden, etc. for feature parity
2. Rotate highest value passwords like email, financial, critical things without MFA, etc.
3. Prune and unused junk
4. Export from LP and import into it's replacement
5. Cancel LP

I guess maybe 2 will come after 4 since I'd like to avoid adding any new PWs into LP.

I am not even that angry they got hacked but mostly angry about how they handled the encryption cycles of legacy users (5000 vs the current 100100) and that hackers were in their systems for many months and could exfiltrate customer vaults without them noticing.

I'm in my 40s, unattached. Strong introvert. I didn't realize how much I missed going into the office until a few of us had half day in person meeting at office.

I wanted to do more of it. Sadly, the office was still mostly empty, so there was no point going in. I left the job. There were other reasons of course, but I want my next job to be at least in-person 3 days a week.

Remote work is definitely not going to be universal. My company (in Seattle) shifted away from remote work starting in July 2021, and formally went back to 5 days in the office per week as the norm July 2022. My friends on the east coast report that their companies are also moving back to in-person work at least 3 days a week.

I do like that COVID has normalized WFH when I have an appointment or something else I need to get done during the day. But I do think that working in person is better and I'm glad it's returning.

I'm finding myself in a similar situation. Moved across the country to an LA tech job for a mostly in-person team less than a year ago. We had a reorg and now most of the new team is remote, manager in eastern time, office empty most days etc. Unsure what to do now to balance career goals.
Also, children are wildly different! My elder slept terribly for about 3 months, until we gave up on trying to cosleep, and slept for almost 6 hours straight when we put him down by himself for the first time. The younger liked co-sleeping and transitioning to a separate room was much harder.

Yes. I'm a very frequent flyer, and used to be far more frequent. No one, and I mean no one, flys southwest because it's their choice. "Southwest is the greyhound of the sky" is a well known phrase. You fly southwest because it's slightly better than being cramped on 3 legs of a 50-60 seat commuter jet. Your home airport dictates which airline you take. Unless another airline steps up and takes some of the routes & provides better planes, you're stuck with SWA.
