As a father of two boys, yes every baby and parent is different. You not only have to take care of baby but also your partner. That is a mistake that a lot of people ignore.

In my case, both of my kids slept a lot during first 6 months or so. First baby was easier as we didn't had another child to take care of.

Second baby, was a lot more work. We felt exhausted all the time during our parental leaves. After 6 months, we both worked from home as pandemic was still happening. Then we used one of my company's benefit to hire babysitters for really cheap for a few weeks. (Check with your company if they offer subsidized emergency childcare benefit). This way we had some time to adjust to both of us working at the same time.

In the mornings, I was responsible for kids. Later in afternoon, mom was. It helped with focused work and scheduling meetings. Of course, emergencies will happen and you will have to take a meeting while feeding the baby.
Rich countries only manage sewage and garbage to the extent that it's out of sight and out of mind. Arguably nobody is "responsible enough."
> And vengeance clearly is a motive in a lot of punishment, or the pushback against treating prisoners nicer or shortening sentences where the evidence shows both works just fine would focus on the evidence rather than the emotions relating to whether prisoners deserve to be treated a certain way.

That too can be chalked up to deterrence. If prison were not unpleasant, why would it be a deterrent? Edit: unpleasantness has limits of course.

> I'm not remotely compelled by the notion that Frankfurts arguments against PAP makes any difference whatsoever here, because the point is that a strict determinism makes the very concept of moral responsibility meaningless, in that if one accepts determinism then no entity had any ability to deliver another outcome, and the person holding the gun had no more control over the outcome than the gun or the bullet.

This isn't the point of the Frankfurt cases. The point was that they are still responsible if they wanted to make that choice, regardless of whether or not they effectively had no other choice in terms of outcomes. That's exactly the case under Compatibilism.

> What then makes the person and not the gun or bullet, or any other entity that was a part of the cause and effect chain more morally responsible?

The simple fact that the person can learn to do better and make a different choice in the same circumstances in the future, where the bullet and the gun cannot. This is why mental competence is a factor in moral responsibility. Systems with minds that process moral content can and should be held morally responsible.
You mean that AI would strive to create a capitalist libertarian utopia, where healthcare is a privilege, guns an absolute right, abortion a crime, and dark money in politics widespread?

Sounds like we are half-way there, anyway.
What’s wrong with that? I once read the plot of a horror movie on that page and it haunted me for months. And that was even though I fully expected the article to be unpleasant.
Arch itself has install script (archinstall) these days which streamlines the install process a ton. Not sure how stable it is though (I hear it is still considered experimental) but it certainly made my recent install on my thinkpad a breeze.
the point of the CTRL key is to send CONTROL messages

anyway, this is just a coincidence, CS was a Windows only exclusive-full-screen game where those combinations had no possible conflict

no one thought we would be playing CS in a browser in the future

on Macs the CMD key is simply a poor man's CTRL key, except when you are in a terminal, where you have to use CTRL again...

doesn't sound so well thought.
A compiler that makes incorrect assumptions is a bad compiler.

In fact, in the rationale of the original spec., I remember reading that the C standard was expressly designed to be a minimal spec, and that just being compliant with the spec was insufficient for the resulting compiler to be fit for purpose.

And of course the original spec did specify a range of acceptable behaviors, and that language is, in fact, still in the standard. It was just made non-binding. However, it is still there, and pretending it is not seems disingenuous at best.
Yes, I've heard that, but in my personal experience I find high doses (relative to the 0.3mg or whatever prescription quantity) effective, with no negative side effects, and I have suffered no loss of efficacy with habitual usage (years). YMMV, but it's certainly worth trying vs continuing to only sleep for four hours every night.
Just because something goes way back, doesn't mean one shouldn't complain about it.

It was crass 1000 years ago and it's still crass now.

Not as bad as your story, but my wife drove to our local community center parking lot, with our infant in the back. She got out of the car and started talking to a friend about 20 feet from the car (windows down, not hot). Another woman called the police complaining that the kid was in the car unattended. They came and threatened to get CPS involved. In the end nothing happened, but it was scary how the situation escalated so quickly.

TBH a bunch of speakers seems like it would be much worse.

If you had an infinite matrix of speakers located at every possible point relative to your head, then you could play each sound from the exact speaker representing the correct direction, and get perfect 3D audio. Maybe it would even be sufficient to have a sphere of speakers around you, or even a circle if elevation isn't relevant in most games.

But in practice we don't have any of those. We have 4 or 5 speakers roughly arranged around the player. If one of those 4 or 5 directions happens to be exactly what you need, then great, play the sound from that speaker and you're good. But if not, then what?

The brain decides the direction of sound based primarily on the relative latency between when it is heard in each ear [0]. How do you create a precise time difference when you have 4-5 different speakers each of which can be heard by both ears?

Plus the game doesn't even usually know exactly where the speakers are located relative to the player's head. Exactly how far away are they? Are the front speakers closer than the back?

With headphones, none of this is a problem. The game can precisely control exactly what the person hears, including precisely controlling interaural time difference.

This takeover will be basically like the Great Depression where big farm came in and swiped all the land and mechanized it so one large corporation can farm thousands of acres of land with no care for those they displaced. Jobs all over the economic spectrum are going to be automated, and rapidly. Vast amounts of people are going to be jobless until we somehow figure out our next move. You can bet regular lives won't be improved by any of these technological gains. A toaster makes making toast easier, but automated burger flipping won't make anything easier for anyone other than the franchise owner and the parent corp.

The 50s sold us on industrialized farming as making food cheaper, we'd work less, and have more free time. This sort of worked for the middle class suburbanites (single income earner, two cars, and leisure time), but over the next two decades all that went away.

Today you can't hope to make it through a middle class family life without both parents working, and prices of food, housing, energy all represent that. Meanwhile energy, pharma, commerce, tech are all making billions in surplus profit. Two incomes have replaced one, double the workforce but economically rewarded with half the mobility. Wages have not had to go up because we just added another earner to the picture.
I remember being blindfolded in high school science class and testing this by having someone clap two sticks together around my head. Surprisingly difficult to tell if something is in front or behind you.
Thank you for elaborating. I think part of where we differ here is in how we defined 'exploitation'. Your useage requires grooming or intent, mine does not. Treating some one as a means to an end does not require ill will, it works best when you do not consider their humanity at all. I think the kind of conduct you are describing I would probably label as abusive.

To your 'would not otherwise do' point I think its important to note the context of a decision - agreeing to poverty wages because it is the best of your bad options is still exploitation without anyone having to mislead anyone else, for example. If you were on equal footing with the employers in the labour market you would not accept such wages. Similarly huge power imbalances also lead naturally to exploitation - the weaker party has no room to bargain, essentially cannot treat with the other person as equals.

Yes, I think you broadly understand. We can recognize capitalism as being broadly exploitative, and I think you have highlighted how well intentioned organizations can become harmful for the community they sought to champion.

It does seem a little like you are seeing unpleasant conclusions and assuming they are false instead of, well, just ugly. Reality can be mucky and full of tradeoffs.

Oh, side note, I think a fair test for the exploitation criticism is 'what would happen if one group just disappeared'. In this case the answer is 'go along pretty much how they were before'. Contrast that with say, retail. If the unskilled labor pool had serious competition arise there would be a lot of businesses that would just fail because they are predicated on the ability to exploit their bargaining power in the labor market.
I want to say no, I don't care about my karma. But I do to a certain extent.

Even though I know it doesn't mean this, I feel like at least it shows I'm not a complete outsider. It's kind of sad, but it's probably one for the biggest "accomplishments" I have.

It doesn't stop me from posting unpopular opinions though. I do tend to edit to ask why it's unpopular if there aren't any explainations.
desire is not at all worthless, it's very important, its just that i find it hard to claim that my conscious self is the cause of that desire.
Just shows how irrational and jumpy the stock market is. It’s the same company and the fundamentals haven’t really changed, but some people sold the stocks for 40-50% less just a few months ago. Now they are buying it back.
Yep. If you haven't tried it yet and confirmed it doesn't work for you, though, it's worth trying.

No one thinks this person passed a hard hiring bar and we need google to filter candidates. They wonder if this person was so good why did google let them go? Why are they not working there now? Could they not cut it? The other question is how much are they expecting? Will they bolt for another faang if opportunity presents itself.

It's like hiring someone with a phd. Expensive and often the skills are not a fit
I think statistics do not support this fear. This is in Brazil that probably has been running thousands of this equipments over decades, with this one significant incident. Also runs two nuclear power plants and enriches uranium locally without any relevant incident. I think this irrational fear of atomic poses more danger because it's something we need , oil kill much more people and renewables alone won't cut it. Even Brazil that runs a lot of hidro eventually needs to run fossil fuel thermoelectric because of low volume of rains.

Yeah, agreed. The mistake a lot of individuals make when they fall in the intellectual trap of Libertarianism is that power doesn't care about labels. Sure the state "has a monopoly on violence" but that is not an intrinsic thing. A weak state quickly finds violence being adopted by other centers of power within a society (just look at Haiti). We attempt to concentrate certain powers in government because it's the easiest way to keep those powers in check. In the end you don't want any center of power to get too powerful as it makes systems overall less stable. The best counter for a strong government is strong civic engagement and democratic norms as government is need to act as a counter to private centralized power (both legal and extralegal).

> the legal alternative to gay sex was heterosexual sex

Unless you're subscribing to a unscientific "people choose to be gay" philosophy, having sex with a gender you're not attracted to is not at all an alternative.

> the legal alternative to pirating games was to buy them

You mentioned surviving today, currently a lot of those games cannot be bought legally, which is what I meant with no alternative. Back then also a lot of people didn't pirate, and a lot of people who did did so because they had little money. I would count that situation as having no available alternative.

We were discussing a hypothetical chat application which currently are offered for free, so money is not an issue there.

In my experience this really depends on the type of the team. If it is a product team it is likely to have a lot of junior developers and not too many senior ones. If it is some deep Infra/backend team you can have a team that is mainly >L5. I was surprised when picking a team in FAANG the choices were you either join as a tl of a very large team of junior ish devs or you join as TL of a small team with mainly senior devs.

You'll find that the newspaper will criticize one much more than the other.
Formats like this sort of reenforce Steve Albini's claim that he only records to tape because he's more certain people will be able to play it back hundreds of years from now than any other (digital) format. The tech is super simple and requires no proprietary anything. He believes that even the most open digital formats will become obscure and forgotten eventually and no one will really be able to playback lots of music that was only recorded that way.
Like Discord but with like 10ms latency to your friends in the area and no fancy pancy filters adding group delay when you speak.

Overall a way superior experience to what we have today.

I remember having actual effortless conversations on Ventrilo. Nowadays speaking in Discord or MS Teams or what ever is exhausting since you interrupt each other due to the delay.

Phones have also gotten worse. It would be interesting to see a number of round trip "ping" for different Voip providers and phone systems ...
> The wokism/political correctness is pretty much in every part of our lifes and everyone seems to be terrorized by it.

I see no evidence of this.

Partly because "woke" means different things to different people in the last 10 years despite the preceding 80 being solely about the systemic institutional discrimination against black Americans.

But also partly because that "woke" became "everything $speaker doesn't like" (and thus exactly the same meaning "political correctness" had when I was a kid), and therefore people who "hate PC" come across not so much terrified as petulant.

> Can we just agree that we're all thinking adults and we understand that this is an algorithm, it does not mean to offend anyone...

No.

What you're describing is how humans like to see themselves, not how humans really function.

> There are much more interesting problems to solve than tip-toeing around all the snowflakes.

We can't just tip-toe around snowflakes.

To give a real example, some gay furry American conservative snowflakes got apoplectically upset when the furry convention they wanted go to to reminded all attendees that as the con is based in Germany they had always banned Nazis.

I still don't know why those particular snowflakes chose to believe that "Nazi" was literally just a dog-whistle for "conservative".

And now there are some American conservative politicians are now making up random nonsense about furries which is weirdly somehow getting conflated with transgender issues (don't know how or why, American politics isn't that interesting, merely invasive like Japanese knotweed).
What's missing here is an Ienumerable from c#. That's basically anything that can be iterated like a list.
So a function could take this enumerable and convert it to a list but should probably reject everything else.

If you don't find the original Seinfeld funny, then you won't find this funny too, and that's ok. It is definitely a type of humor that you gotta be attuned to and/or like it already, with many people never getting around to liking it.

Did they only teach the shortcuts? It seems just as likely to me that they taught all the way through, but the parents only started complaining because, without seeing the whole development, they weren’t able to come up with the shortcuts on their own.

The solution of course is for the parent to read, like, a paragraph from their kid’s textbook.
The kind of damage a few malicious or negligent individuals can cause in an afternoon from nuclear operations can't be matched by fossil fuels. Fossil fuels have caused damage through the effort of billions of people over centuries.

The history of fossil fuels also shows us that humans are negligent over time, which seems to me a good argument against building a large infrastructure of nuclear operations.
Literally just had this situation come up in a recent 1:1 with one of our junior devs.

He asked about being able to work on greenfield projects focusing on AWS technologies.

I had to go into a historical context data dump on the value of addressing technical debt (the project she is being assigned to), and how that frees us up to work on the cool and shiny projects.

I think it landed, but I could see some of the fire slightly snuffed out of him.

Physics Is Everywhere (Flying Circus of Physics)
Show HN: IDE Like Terminal
Terminal built with Tauri (Rust+Svelte).

I got this idea of creating a terminal that is more user friendly having autocomplete suggestions. I couldn’t create a suggestions engine that would work for all commands. But I defined a structure (a state machine in src/cli/library/library.ts) that can be used to determine the next suggestions. The good part with this approach is that it is possible to have custom script based suggestions. For example if we write in the terminal “git checkout” and after we press Space, a dropdown will appear with all available branches. The bad part is that it will take some time to add more supported commands in this “library”.

Another feature is that in the bottom bar of the terminal we can have custom script based information. In .manter.json we can define a script that will generate this information. The script will be executed each time the prompt appears.

On the front-end are used web technologies which offer a flexibility to add any feature and style that we want.

No. Not multiple viewpoints. Merely an opposing view. Of the station's choosing. So if your station's views are correct, and why wouldn't they be, then the best choice of opposing view is some crackpot, ideally not too offensive for the middle of the night.
