> It was wild to go to a marriage prep event and see couples right next to us start yelling at each other "what do you mean you want kids?" or "why would I quit my job?" I don't know how you get engaged without knowing these things already.

Put marriage aside, I don't know how couples avoid talking about this in general. I've been with my partner over a decade, not married, and obviously we talked about our feelings about children in the first two years. I don't see how it's possible to have a serious relationship and not do that. The same goes for virtually every other issue. We've had combined finances for most of our relationship now, for example.

If it's awkward or uncomfortable to talk about things like this with your (potential) life partner, that's a feeling it's absolutely vital to work through very early. You don't want to go through life with someone feeling that you can't broach any serious topic.

Seems like a solution looking for a problem. We don't need food delivery robots, people are happy to do the same thing (just look at Uber eats, DoorDash, postmates, etc). And since the robots already charge you a delivery fee, you may as well pay that money to an actual person rather than a company.
I absolutely object to this phrasing. No, the software glitch itself did not ruin lives. It was management choosing to conduct a witch hunt instead of a thorough investigation that ruined lives.

This is an "I have no idea what the hell I'm doing" level of incompetence.

Isn't it accepted security knowledge, that about 99% of everybody is at a "should not be doing it myself" level of security/crypto incompetence? I'm not saying that the example isn't particularly bad. It is.

Requiring competence would appear to be the wrong way to do it, here.
Phil Foglio (Girl Genius, Buck GoDot, etc) had drawn the first version prior to Lasseter's
Here in Finland one retail chain (of the whole multitude of two that operate nationwide) is experimenting with scan-as-you-go approach in a few of their largest stores, and it's awesome. You scan your bonus/discount/client card at the terminal near the entrance, which then lets you take one of barcode scanners from a charging stand (it's only for customers that have said card, but most households have at least one already). Then you put your reusable shopping bag(s) into a cart or basket, and go collect your items and throw them straight into your bags after beeping with the scanner. The carts even have a nice holder for the scanner so your hands can stay free. When you're done, return the scanner to another charging stand near the exit, go to the self-checkout terminal and pay - it will match you using the same client card, which in my case is also linked to my primary bank account (yep, the retail chain runs its own bank, it's a standard Visa and works with GPay). If there are age-restricted items, it will take about 20 seconds for the store employee to come look at my ID and beep their card to allow the purchase to go through (there are also a few other common non-error cases when a human is called). Once in a blue moon they can do a spot check, beeping a few random items from the top of my bag, though that happened to me just twice in two years of shopping there weekly, one of the occasions was at 4AM when I was the only customer in the entire store.

The biggest convenience for me is that I only have to handle the items twice: when I pick them from the shelves, and when I unpack the bags at home. Going to any other store that doesn't have this system now feels like there is a lot of redundant and unergonomic operations.
>>> 2. Network protocols like HTTP and MIME only understand files

Love when someone says something that makes my brain work!

For the most part you're spot on. HTTP has multipart messages that in theory could be extended to be composite of anything. So we could have those bundles! Oddly we can send to the server with a multipart message (forms)!!

I think that MIME is an interesting slice the OTHER way. You could store versions of the same document in a directory so HTML and JSON and XML OR a video or image in two formats and serve them up based on the MIME request.

Now if we could make one of those a multi part message...

How else will you search for stuff on the internet without sending your query to the internet?
Low voltage circuits have constant draws attached to them. Simple circuits like keeping clocks ticking, and more complex circuits that listen for wireless keys or alarm sensors. Ideally, they can last for months with those draws, but when the battery is old and cold, it can die in weeks or even days.

FWIW, the high voltage circuits (the one with the Li batteries) are physically disconnected with a contactor (a high voltage relay) once the car is turned off. You can literally hear the clicks inside the car as you turn it on and off.

All that said, I have heard of some cars which can charge the low voltage battery using the high voltage circuit, but I know nothing of those those are connected.

Can't say I disagree it was inevitable but could have been legislated for, which seems to be years behind the times as always. My main concern is just unique content that is adequately rewarded that isn't siphoned off by large platforms that can viralise said content, or along those lines.

Maybe even if the big tech could pass on some (most) of the proceeds because of the (content share), it'd be far less a thing. Otherwise, 90% of people being made aware of an idea see it somewhere beyond the original source and those secondary sources capitalise because... simply because it's the norm.
Teaching how to debug is craft. Teaching how debuggers work can be science (human computer interaction, abstraction, state machines...). Teaching craft is vocational training. Teaching science is university-level stuff.

When I hire developers fresh from univeristy, I hope they have a solid foundation in how things work. I want them to know the science. I'll train them on craft.

Pretty straightforward these days! Though I've been doing it for awhile. There a lot of little gotcha's like tubing choice and fittings but once you get the hang of the options it's pretty fun.

Though cooling 4090s even with water is hard - you need a good flow rate to dissipate 450W. They'll hit near 70C during training if the fans are kept below audible, which works for me. 55-60C with fans at 50%. This is with 2x420mm (3x 140mm fan) rads and one 280mm rad (2x 140mm fans).

The stock heatsinks actually were actually able to cool them just as well, just they where much louder doing so!

Power is the other tricky bit. The computer is living on the dedicated AC circuit for now... 1600W is a lot. When it was on the single outlet circuit in my house, I could see each iteration as the lights dimmed in sync with the power draw surging.
I was looking for the same recently, would be especially nice for vacations and remote working periods. It feels like the best method is still a paper wall calendar and a marker which is a bit surprising. If someone has any suggestions I'd be excited to give them a try!

> It can make getting shared custody of a child easier

Not in PA. I've never seen a law that gives preferential treatment to married fathers vs unmarried fathers.

On the other hand, keeping hold of your assets and not assuming your partners debt puts you in a way better position to hire a lawyer and prove to the court that you have the means to provide for them.

If you are in India and want to marry a US citizen for citizenship, that's a pretty big pro, however women rarely marry "down" like that so it won't apply to most men.

Absolutely you can save a few percent on tax, in return for a fifty percent chance you lose half your assets.
No, but media companies like Disney, Warner Bros, and Paramount might find it a useful lever to squeeze independent creators even further than they already are.
The repeating part is about you saying basically the same thing to the previous commenter, I don't get how you do not intuitively understand that?

It's not exactly clear to me what you are asking but you seem to be making the traditional nature vs nurture argument, and you seem to think the environment is important enough to impact the IQ of an individual and more largely its abilities.

It's not clear what you mean by people's "environments are heritable" but from my point of view it was barely true in another era but nowadays with increased mobility it is just not true. Most people are very likely to have kids in a very different environment than they grew up in. And that is the case for 4 generations now, so I don't think there is any heritability there appart for a few privileged rich, I guess (then again, they have largely been replaced in the last century or two).

I have to say, I don't understand where you are going because we have a number of twin studies that clearly show that the environmental impact is not very large, at least for a single generation.
There are also plenty of various fields, related to animals or plants that directly work with genetics, to change stuff regardless of the environment. GMO would not be viable if genetics weren't more important than environnement...
I do think environment plays a role and is important for the very long term. But on the human scale, it takes multiple generations to have a significant change in the average so compared to the outsized influence of the base genetic material.

With everything we know about genetics, while there is no guarantee, children are largely a mix of their parents' traits, including intelligence. The higher the parents' intelligence, the higher the chance of this intelligence showing up more in the children (because intelligence is not localized at a single place in the ADN, but is spread out all other).
I really don't understand people contesting that kind of thing, since it never bothers anyone when historically tall people, make, you guess it, taller people than the average. How surprising!

When it comes to the allocation of ressource, it is pretty simple: the humans who get more ressource thrive better, are allowed much more influence on the environment directly and indirectly wich can have large impact.
It is not a hard argument to make that to benefit society the most, you want those ressource to go to the smartest humans available. If you do not, you dilute your benefits and may actually prevent those individuals from taking over because of poor ressource distribution. In the long term your society ends up dumber and worse off.
This is basically where we are and exactly why society is getting restless in some places, it is not a tenable situation in the long term, because even though it may not look like at first glance, everyone is guaranteed to be worse off over time.

This is true, a lot of people say a business' purpose is to maximize profit for shareholders. The truth is a business' purpose is whatever the owners of the business want. If you go and raise money from a bunch of people who's literal job is to make more money then the purpose of your business will become to make more money for the new owners (stakeholders) of the business.

I agree with you. If the exact page was deleted, it may not be the best experience for the user to just redirect them to the closest match. However, you could solve this in the UI by telling them that they were redirected because the original page was not found. Showing just 404 page is not a great experience either. You could also adjust this behavior based on the score of the match – anything that's 90% match should be good enough.

For what it is worth, I opted to showing 404 page and suggest the URL they were most likely looking for, e.g. https://aimd.app/blog/2023-12-27-programmatic-seo-what-is-it...

I would be surprised if there were a significant number of couples who go through this preparation program and then say, "Welp, guess that won't work. Nice to have known you!"

But there are probably an appreciable number of couples who come to realize that they are not quite as prepared as they would like to be and decide to either extend the engagement process or to focus more attention to working these things out before their vows.
You are saying "leads to" but the data just say "is correlated with". As the article points out, assuming causality can't really be justified, because of selection effects. For example, it may be that having lots of different sex partners before marriage doesn't "lead to" a worse marriage, rather perhaps those who tend to have lots of different partners may just be less happy with an exclusive arrangement.
> Your blog or website software should really be setting up those redirects for page moves automatically.

There is theory and there is practice. Keeping URLs tidy is a simple task for a small site, but as the application/blog grows in scope, it becomes almost an impossible/full-time job. Anyone who managed a platform with thousands of pages (I've had the luck to do that), will tell you that 404s are not avoidable. Feature flags, geofenching, and many more edge cases will inevitably lead to users experiencing 404s. This tactics is more mitigating the impact of those edge cases.
Yes? Have you never used a call center?
> you can't find the benefit to you, reconsider, don't just do it beacuse you are "supposed to".

Because they want to? I really don't get this attitude of rationalizing everything in terms of pros vs cons. It just teaches people to disregard how they feel

Also interesting that when you give examples of pros and cons, you only give examples of them for you as an individual. If you were to take them for society at large, marriage would be a net positive
Given that the password hasn't changed, I'd assume that there are exactly 0 sysadmins or software engineers working at this insurance company.

Angel investor here. I've had startups ask me about a $10mm exit. The team was tired. I'm not running a professional portfolio. I said go for it. I approximately 2x'd my money over as many years, while the founders became millionaires. (To be clear, I was being asked for advice. The founders had complete agency.)

None of those businesses, mind you, were compatible with bootstrapping. (And to the extent a business can be bootstrapped, I won't invest in it. Because that reflects its barriers to entry.)

It's interesting how quickly we forget about how things used to be. My grandparents were subsistence farmers in my lifetime, and they did not use horses to get around town. I don't think they ever owned a horse.

For regular everyday travel, they walked.

They'd sometimes need to go work out in a field. On those days, they'd hitch up the cows to the wagon and spend the day working there. This is a slow process, so they'd need to have enough work to spend the whole day there.

Horses were never a transportation method, except for the extremely rich. They were agricultural tools. Looking at France, because data is easy to get there, the population of France was about 40 million in 1900[2]. Around that time, France also had about 3 million horses, or about a horse for every 13 people. Of these 3 million horses, 2.5 million were "draft horses" used for pulling plows.
