Maybe take a look at Dr. Spock's Baby and Child Care (latest edition). Great book with good advice. My personal experience:

1. Prepare to be exhausted for a long time (about 2 years) - you can't do much about it, this is just the way it is. After 18 months it will get better.

2. Support your partner as much as possible - she's proably even more exhausted and keep watching the emotions (postpartum depression is underestimated)

3. Try to involve the grandparents to help you as much as they can, if possible.

4. Don't force your child too sleep or try to apply techniques that sound weird (like leaving your child crying until it sleeps or put it into another room). This is not the right way... some children do sleep well and some don't. Hope for the best and take care as much as possible.

5. Hold your child as much as possible, skin to skin. It will improve the relationship. Best case cuddle together with every member of the family.

6. Listen to your heart. If something doesn't feel right (even if everybody is telling you to do so), it's probably wrong.

7. If it's possible, breastfeeding is the best a child can get. Don't force the child into stopping after 6 months... just keep going as long as you (or your partner can).

7b. Later, try to cook healthy (oat flakes, vegetables, a few fruits) - as little sugar as possible.

8. Prevent stress wherever you can. Cook more than one meal at a time, organise your day to have breaks.

9. Spend time with your family. Work may be fulfilling, but you can never go back in time to see your child grow up. Try to get some time with your partner alone - this is more important than you may notice.

10. Don't be to hard to yourself. There will be times you can't follow all these rules. You will be angry, scream, argue, etc. It's ok as long as it is not too much.
What a philosophical conundrum!

Obviously, a match with the chemical coating on the head has a wooden part that we call a matchstick.

Does removing this coating and leaving only the wood make that object no longer a matchstick? It seems the community has decided it does not.

But is any piece of wood a matchstick? I'd argue it is not, it's just a piece of wood. It's the addition of the chemical head that turns it from lumber into a match, if that hasn't happened yet - or doesn't happen ever, then there's nothing match-like about it.

Otherwise I could argue that my 2-story house is built of matchsticks, they're just still in 2x4 form 8 feet long, having not been sawn down yet, and (to comply with fire code) not yet coated.

Before Theseus departed on his journey, were the trees that would eventually be used to repair his ship considered to be already the Ship of Theseus, planks and spars still hidden in trees like a statue in marble that hadn't even been quarried yet?

Maybe after, but not before!
These C-suite successful companies were at least built and designed by successful people, who succeeded by being moral human beings at least more moral than most scummy politicians. Even if the C-suite companies are no longer directed by them, which some of them are, their culture of being moral human beings tend to live on.

Politicians on the other hand, like Mr. Trump, are usually born-rich buffoons who do anything to win, and after they win, many of them exercise their power with intolerance and arrogance. Politicians climb the ranks using their money and power, not by developing technical skills, or learning important crafts.
The kernel modules problem really highlights why the push to do more in userspace in recent years increasingly makes sense. Hope to see more kernel changes to support this push.
Bottles of wine are not separately incorporated. A “vintage” of wine is just one product put out by a winery. If one somehow went really bad (like it killed people and lost a big judgement or something else far fetched) it would bankrupt the vintner and the other wines would stop being made.

Perhaps a better way to phrase it is that each firm is like a real estate patent corporation and each fund is its own separate but owned corporation, the way commercial real estate companies incorporate every building.

If one VC fund lost money, only the LPs would suffer, the firms other funds would still operate independently.

Yeah, for example just yesterday I was driving and an alarm went off for the phone in my pocket. I told Google Assistant to silence the alarm... and it refused, insisting no alarms were active. How the hell can such a simple use-case be failing so badly?

I suppose it doesn't matter, because they're going to disable the functionality entirely, [0] and setting ephemeral alarms is the literally the most common thing I ever ask it to do!

Part of what makes all the assistant-stuff so damn frustrating is that it's an opaque "try something random and hope for the best" box, and whenever it fails there's usually zero information about why and no resolution path. (In a way you can generalize that to a lot of "AI", which is depressing.)

I think that there is separation between intentional knowledge transfer and accidental. It's great as an opportunity for accidental knowledge transfer, where one developer didn't know she could ask for help by another developer. Or that task can be picked up because it hasnt changes the status yet( not released) but other can start working if needed.
Actions speak louder than words.

It is cheap to be activist on social media but much harder to be one in the physical non-anonymous world where you stand to really risk something.

I've liked all of those books.

Biggest takeaway is that you'll be worst off if you try to figure out how to sell well. Just start selling.

If you have a target market and a product to sell, pick up the phone and start dialing. Get a LinkedIn Sales Navigator Account and start doing outreach.

You're not going to get good at sales by any way other than trying and failing.

> What annoys me about Context is there's no way to tell if it's honored by the callee.

On the occasions where I've needed that I've used a WaitGroup and done wg.Add(1) at the point where I start goroutines and then have a defer wg.Done() as the first thing in the goroutine. I don't think the functionality belongs in Context. And if you put it there, you'd just end up complicating things.

> And when I'm accepting Context I'm annoyed at having to write handlers for it all through the stack having no idea how/if people will use it.

How would you propose you do it instead?
I've had great success with Demand-Side Sales 101: Stop Selling and Help Your Customers Make Progress

"For a lot of us, selling feels icky. Our stomachs tighten at the thought of reciting features and benefits, or pressuring customers into purchasing. It's really not our fault. We weren't taught how to sell, plus we've been sold before, leaving us with a bitter taste.

Here's the truth: sales does not have to feel icky for you or your customers. In fact, with the right approach, sales can be an empowering experience for all.

Bob Moesta, lifelong innovator and coarchitect of the "Jobs to be Done" theory, shares his approach for flipping the lens on sales. Bob shifts the focus of sales from selling, to helping people buy and make progress in their lives--demand-side sales.

Now, in Demand-Side Sales 101, you'll learn to really see what your customers see, hear what they hear, and understand what they mean. You'll not only be a more effective and innovative salesperson--you'll want to help people make progress."

He said there needed to be a different approach to frontline management, mobilisation and recruitment.

That's a rather remarkable leap to make. I hope he's right about it. There is no doubt that the existing leadership was unexpectedly good and staved off a widely-expected loss.

Having accomplished that, it's reasonable that a different phase would require a different approach. They do seem to have reached something of a stalemate, and maybe different tactics can break that. But hoo boy is that a big gamble to take, when there is also the possibility of making it much, much worse if you're wrong.

Yes, however there is a much simpler approach to removing left recursion. For example, a left recursive additive expression grammar:

additive-expression
<multiplicative-expression>
<additive-expression> + <multiplicative-expression>
<additive-expression> - <multiplicative-expression>

Left recursion removed from this grammar is:

additive-expression
<multiplicative-expression> <additive-expression2>

additive-expression2
+ <multiplicative-expression> <additive-expression2>
- <multiplicative-expression> <additive-expression2>
<null>

Then implement additive-expression2 as a simple loop. No need for Pratt and implementation follows more closely with BNF.
Why does your staff tell you right away that the timeline has been pushed because of this and why do you need to be told daily?

The international monetary system isn't a deflationary system per se. It can accommodate a variety of monetary policies, including deflationary policies.

As far as bitcoin being a hard asset, this isn't entirely correct either. Not only does bitcoin not generate income, but it consumes income. You see, the bitcoin network is extremely expensive to maintain, and the owners of bitcoins are the ones who bear the cost. Either they pay with fees -unlikely-, or they'll pay by losing value in their investment -most likely. There's no way around it.
If we mitigated just the warming issue through geo engineering, how severe are carbon emissions impacts on our environment?

Would we be able to go back to emissions increasing, or is this causing loss of other biodiversity?
What I think could potentially be done is allow threshold-based alternate plans. For a pseudo example, “if subquery A returns 8 records or fewer, use this plan for subquery B, else use that plan.” It’s an explicit admission that the query planner doesn’t have enough information to make a good decision up front, but can easily be made at a later point in time while in the middle of execution.
Ignore advice and trust your gut (and your wife's gut) on most things. Most of the parenting decisions I regretted were the ones where other people or books told me I "should" do something, but where my gut said otherwise. Knowing when to trust your gut is key, but my general rule is as long as I'm not acting out of urgency or stress, then I almost always trust my gut.

Nicely put. PoS is still around a million times more wasteful than the effective work it does, though.
"And you'll need to be earning enough to at least partly offset the raid on your savings to give you time to think through sales strategies."

This has been my strategy so far. I got laid off 9 months ago and I've barely touched my severance, but I'm also making way less than before and not really saving any money. Could be worse I suppose.
> My thinking goes like this, with some simplifying assumptions. Let's say you have a monolith with 99% uptime that you rearchitect into 5 microservices, each with 99% uptime, and if any one of those services goes down your whole system is down. Let's also assume for the sake of simplicity that these microservices are completely independent, although they are almost assuredly not.

I've worked on Microservices at HBO. IIRC over 2 years my team's multiple services only had 1 complete outage, and 2 or 3 impactful incidents.

Also a nice benefit of Microservices is that you can shove queues and retry logic between services, and replay messages later on when a service is back up. Obviously not appropriate for anything that needs to give real time results, but there are a surprising number of features that don't mind a 30 second or even 5 minute delay so long as success is guaranteed eventually.

That is all well and good, but high CO2 causes other issues than just warming. The only real fix is doing the hard thing, limit CO2.

A transpiler is a sort of compiler. A single compiler might emit LLVM, C, or JavaScript, depending on the target. That doesn't mean that it's only a compiler sometimes, it means that some of the modes of the compiler transpile.
I know you're looking for a book recommendation (my recommendation would perhaps be a bit too socializing-weighted with Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazzi) — but I also wanted to reiterate what others have said here already. It's a two-step process — you need to get in front of a potential client, and then you need to convert them into a sale (project). I personally think that most books focus on the latter, whereas the former is arguably the hardest part: finding leads.

It's the same problem most indie devs and startups have (without VC-infused Adwords budgets) — getting their product in front of other people.

I have been consulting in a self-employed capacity for 13 years now, next to doing other things, and 100% of my leads have come through friends, exclusively. This is not to show how great my friends are (debatable), but how I have been completely unable to attract business outside of my network, even in 13 years!

Marketing yourself to even be considered a point of contact for whatever it is you're offering is - in my opinion — by far, the hardest nut to crack.

I'd love to hear suggestions by others who've been successful on this front, especially how you attract out-of-network leads. It seems next to impossible at times, except for those rare (serendipitous) moments when someone reaches out after a newspaper article or being featured online somewhere.

Reading is social! And having physical books and libraries allows you to share with your friends what you are reading in a concrete, physical, albeit arguably performative way. And it also allows you to share the book itself with others.

Sharing a good book with a friend who I know will appreciate it, is one of the loveliest things. I love my ebook too, but my e-library does not lend itself to organically sharing books after I've finished them. In this loneliness epidemic, book sharing is perhaps one of many social activities we should strive to not leave behind. Even just seeing a stranger on the bus reading a book that you have read and loved can be a special catalyst for connection and community in the physical world.

Granted, none of that applies to showing off books on tiktok for the clout/likes. Like many things on tiktok, I also feel a little cynical about that.
A massive reason why I, a consumer of Apple products, continue to consume them, new or used, is that I can trust that a repair will be genuine, be calibrated, and be as close to new as possible. After many years of Android phones that broke and needed repair or replacement, I got tired of shitty refurbed devices among other things. A used iPhone is way more likely to be mostly still an iPhone than a used android phone.

I do think right to repair is important. I think companies should be forced to produce and sell repair parts. I don’t think we want to force 3rd party compatibility. It’s different with a car IMO - a non OEM suspension component better meet whatever specification, there is liability(maybe?) if that fails. A cheap screen with 80% sRGB just looks bad, but won’t kill you. No manufacturer incentive to care about quality at all!
> "would you like to discuss pricing?"

Nobody likes to discuss pricing!

Early on in the call, tell them your price to see if they object. If they do, then get off the call. If there's objections, raise them early and either overcome them or figure out that they can't be overcome.
Yeah! And this one's only 24 feet tall; the real thing is at least twice as tall.
Look on a map. There is nothing (in the US) that is close to there that would consume the ~500MW of power the dam produces and sends to the plant.

The plant was shut down and nobody made an effort to direct the power elsewhere.

Transmission is insanely expensive at scale. I've seen their power bills and I talked to their head electrician who worked at the plant when it was operational. That's the best citation I can give you, sorry.

> Can entities inside the simulation get info about your CPU architecture? Not really, not unless you really messed up (let's assume you don't make any gross concessions to performance over correctness).

I would consider it magnitudes more likely to assume we would really mess it up than to assume there are no information leaks, and I think it's wildly unrealistic to assume we wouldn't make gross concessions to performance over correctness.

> If you have the ability to simulate anything close to our universe, I just don't think it's that hard to make it actually correct and therefore inescapable.

I think it's naive to assume that increased ability create complex systems correlate with increased ability to predict all possible ways of exploiting those systems.

But even more so, I consider it naive to assume we would even if we could.

> and suddenly the manager walks on to the pitch and says, “OK, gather around! Where did you kick the ball yesterday? Where are you planning on kicking it today? Any blockers?”

There are sports, like handball, where each coach can call a very short timeout at more or less any time during the game for exactly this purpose. The team and coach gets to spend a minute together to adjust their tactics on the fly, based on what is working, and what isn't.

Otherwise, I agree with the conclusion of this piece, that a manager/leader should tailor their meeting(s) to what is required for their specific team to work best. If the team consists of people that all pro-actively communicate, then the meeting might not be needed. If the team has problems with making deliveries on time, then slightly more shepherding is perhaps needed.
About 7 months in the first run. I recently switched things to a more efficient TPS63020-based voltage converter though, which has an extremely low operating quiescent current of only 25uA in low power mode (1/4 of the MT3608 I previously used). I'm hoping for more in the next!

The comparison will also be apples-to-oranges though since I also switched it to a 3500 mAh 18650 during that revision ... self-drain and therefore the battery make itself now become a big factor ... ask me in a few years how it went? :-)

That looks like something I wouldn't wanna use, all imperative
Space-based geoengineering is technically superior to stratospheric aerosol injection, but the latter is practical almost immediately, and is likely to be much cheaper no matter what. In my view that outweighs concerns about the ozone layer.

It has also been pointed out that launching enough space-shades with chemical rockets would itself deposit a considerable amount of particulate matter in the upper atmosphere, so to be really atmospherically 'clean', one would need to complement geoengineering with a radical new launch technology.

I've begun to believe that all of this ceremony is driven from an unspoken belief that well functioning software teams are a myth.

sure it would be great if people raised issues themselves instead of skulking. were proactive, took pride in their work, engaged joyfully with their collaborators, and developed real consensus and velocity.

but that's just a fairy tale. developers are generally useless, stubborn, lazy, petty, and fundamentally disorganized. lets not shoot for the moon and try to get them to work together. lets just dumb the whole thing down to try to get _something_ out of them.

There’s trade, and then there’s investing in strategic initiatives designed to have China overtake the world. China is willing to decouple where it makes sense for them - eg make Facebook, Google, etc inaccessible so that local alternatives can flourish.

It's the reverse of this which is the concern. The company supports "Right to Repair" when the details are that it isn't effective and repairs remain expensive enough to pressure people to buy new devices instead, uses that "support" in their PR, then withdraws their support when the proposal is something that might be more effective.
