Every baby is different and you should take all advice with a huge grain of salt, including the ones listed here.

Don't be afraid to ask for help. Everyone pays attention to the child but you and your partner will need help too managing this new life transition. Even if you're not the birthing parent, you too have also gone through this massive change in time, mental space, and life meaning.

Also, unless there's extenuating circumstances, don't make any big life changes (new job, divorce, new house) in the first year. You aren't in the right headspace.

What would you have used instead?
If he is dropping the kid off, he already knows where you live, so having him figure it out via a phone number is kind of a moot point.

The example given was child support, which is financial, not visitation. I’m assuming this person would be an ex-husband, and that abuse, leading to assurance that he can’t track you down, means visitation with the kid is off the table.
Nobody does what you describe. When someone has a genuine need for local admin access, they are given two accounts - an unprivileged account to log in with, and a privileged account to enter into UAC when needed. It would indeed be an unbelievable waste of time to make your IT staff sit next to users to enter admin credentials, which is why nobody does it.

And for the record, "don't log in with a local admin account" is a very commonly recommended best practice for Windows environments. It's unusual that you've never encountered it.

Your kids will model their behavior after yours. If you want them to be kind, show them kindness. If you want them to value reading, read to them, and read in front of them.

Their sleep schedule is sacred, for their well being, and yours. Plan your social life around making sure they are in bed at their scheduled bed time, every time. When your child is able to sleep through the night it is one of the first milestones that dramatically improves your quality of life. Allow them to keep their mid day nap as long as they will take it. These are key productivity hours for you and your significant other for the next several years!

Kids can potty train earlier than you may think. I potty trained mine at 20 months, over an extended weekend. When your kid is potty trained it is another milestone that dramatically improves your quality of life, and saves a lot of money you were spending on diapers.

No worries, I didn't interpret your comment as belittlement. I agree the project was over-ambitious and overly complex, but it was also visionary and influential.
> > I understand that consumer stuff is all about dumbing down the experience so that an idiot can do the thing

> Linux is maintained by power users that want to give the same power to every users

Look at the assumptions behind "UX is dumbing down" and "idiots". Good UX is about making the same power more consistent to waste less of your finite brain power to use it, leaving more free for other things. Good UX is about keeping the same power but making it easier for intelligent people without experience to come in and pick it up and predict how it will work. Good UX is about making the abstractions cleaner and the tools more extensible to allow the same power to be used in more situations. Good UX is about settling the existing tools to allow even more power to be added, or built on top of them, without them collapsing. Good UX is about making the same power lower activation effort to use so you can focus less on setting up the tooling and more on the problem space. Good UX is about making it easier for idiots to use it, but not at the expense of experts. Good UX is about making a problem go away completely so nobody needs any tooling or to waste any time on it.

> "I know that whenever a site "can't be found", it's been blocked by my pihole. But to anyone else connected on my network, it's "the internet is down"."

That's a terrible UX. There's nobody helped by you feeling clever for understanding an inaccurate error message and looking down on people who don't understand it. Putting a clear and accurate error isn't "dumbing down". That's the fear that you would feel dumb if you didn't have to work hard and know secret incantations to achieve results.
Or just rip the streams (StreamFab etc).

There's no rational reason to respect property rights of people who don't respect yours.
I heard that advice many times, agreed with it, but still didn't really feel the weight of it until now, as my kids reach that range. It's bittersweet -- you see them blossoming into ever more amazing and beautiful versions of themselves, and you realize that you have even less time to be around them.
Vista..? The Windows start page was introduced in version 8, not Vista. Vista had a bog-standard, pre-8 menu.
Yes, which is why it's silly for people to act like there's something wrong with MS doing the same. Some people will grasp at any straw to bash MS.
> I'm still shocked to this day that we managed to ship this at all

Why?
Doesn't matter much, really, as long as it's something with a big ecosystem.
Problem with physical is that all things degrade. Digital can be reproduced ad infinitum with error correcting code
It also ships with an openai-compatible server implementation as well now that you could point your UI at (if you wanted to run leaner w/out ollama).

Rebuilding an existing codebase in any other language would fit that argument as well.
Perhaps, as long as you have a computer with access to chat AI, there is no reason to memorize the whole language.

Without chat AI, or an expert Q&A forum, it is difficult to search for the best solution for a complex problem articulated in its entirety.

What will end up happening is that you will convert your Y problem into multiple smaller X problems and search for how to solve those. You will design the solution to the problem in the abstract language of your mind using these smaller steps, and then map those steps to the programming language. You can much more easily look up smaller steps such as "find the index of a character in a string".

By the time you get to these small steps, you're imagining a detailed solution, whereas the language could offer something more direct.

One tell tale sign of this is code that contains functions which have exact equivalents in the standard library.

When you ask the programmer why they didn't use the library functions or built in syntax they will often say, oh I looked for something like that, but didn't find it; it was faster to just write the code than to look for it.

the current court solidified itself as an activist court by taking on a litany of controversial, yet already decided cases one after another that were all lined up by the same organization that not only lobbied for their placement on the court, but even went so far as to line up a billionaire buddy system to make them more comfortable financially so they wouldn't retire from the court during a democratic administration.
2023 Mac Mini 10 Core M2 Pro – A Beast for Xcode Compilation
A performance benchmark examined compilation times in seconds for a large XCode data set.
Surprisingly, the 2023 Mac Mini 10 core M2 Pro with only 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage (~$1,900 CAD or ~$1,300 USD) performed extremely well (85 seconds in the test).

The machine even went toe to toe with 10 core M1 Max/M2 Pro Macbooks containing 32-64GB of RAM and 1-2TB of storage.

An interesting result that has me taking a very close look at the 2023 Mac Mini M2 Pro with 16GB / 512GB.

Seems like a very good performance to price ratio for a new machine.

Note - I am scoping the use case down to Xcode compilation only to keep things simple.

Also - if one is willing to get an 8 core machine instead, for $100 CAD more you can get M2 8 core with 24GB RAM and 1TB SSD for $2,000, which also seems like great value (though XCode compilation in the test took 20-30 seconds longer).

Thoughts? What is your experience with XCode development and compilation using the M1/M2/M2 Pro Mac Mini?
Well, I don’t agree with your opinion of Science News, but that’s OK. What I was pointing out is that she was indeed referring to Science News (and also Science Perspectives) as sources for her reading and understanding of a paper.
Mozilla was created by Netscape itself, before its "deathbed". They were possibly the first "open-core" project of significant scale: they wanted to do a Big Rewrite (Netscape 4 code was unmanageable and crusty), and hoped that doing it as opensource would speed things up. The original Mozilla suite was supposed to be the experimental/rough version, which Netscape would then polish and sell as its own. Unfortunately, by the time this happened (and it did happen - Netscape released a few Mozilla-based versions), the browser market was entirely commoditized and there was no path to profitability for Netscape (which had been absorbed by AOL by then). The Big Rewrite took way longer than expected, and the open setup introduced even more development friction.

The Mozilla suite never got anything else beyond browser/mail/editor. I think the AOL version shipped a bunch of extra bookmarks and that's it. They had already built some infrastructure for extensions and themes though, and that's effectively what Firefox took to extreme consequences: a skunkwork group of Mozilla devs stripped the suite down to the lone browser, and forced everything else to be an extension. That was Phoenix (rebirth and all that), which became Firebird (because people can't spell Phoenix, and the other surviving products could be aligned as Thunderbird and Sunbird), which became Firefox (because oops in IT there's a Firebird already, a database with angry lawyers).
Leaving aside small business, are there (m)any larger organizations where the CEO makes >1% of revenue?

Mitchell making $6.9M in cash compensation of a $600M revenue company is the equivalent of:

- Chuck Robbins of Cisco making $655M/year

- Mark Benioff of Salesforce making $360M/year

Maybe let's look smaller:

- Fidji Simo of Instacart making $29M/year

- Patrick Collison of Stripe making $166M/year

When you look at it like that, Baker's compensation is quite absurd.

(And for more comedic value than anything serious, similar to Tim Apple making $4.4B/year...)
What makes you say that?

I think, once you learn both frameworks, they’re just about as productive as the other.
Agreed. Switching to formula made things significantly easier.

When a baby is first born there may be a "let's suffer together" mentality. Get that out of your head and focus on maximizing your collective energy.

You say that like Microsoft isn't an incredibly deeply dysfunctional company with absurd turf wars and conflicting interests between all the teams. You'd think it should be sufficiently integrated, but it's likely office politics made that impossible. How about be glad we got this at all as a first step, then maybe it will build momentum towards a better integrated solution?
Very very very cool! The UX is intuitive.
Agree, tho it can also be good to have a more narrowly defined & catchy concept handle [1] to discuss specific phenomena, even if it's just a name that represents a bundle of things we already understand. Can make discussion move a bit quicker and bring some more people to understanding.

I do like the reframe focused on evidence as the object since it gets us to think more about how those objects move about and come to us, which moves us toward the concrete realm of how products work. Personally I think it's much easier to change products than people, so ways to frame problems in terms of product can be helpful.

That's like saying (in a Linux context) "sudo is dumb because you can just use su". The two tools have different use cases.
Sorry, have you never read anything about Microsoft before? I'm not sure why people are being so critical of OP.
Based on a day's worth of kicking tires, I'd say no -- once you have a mix that supports your workflow the cool developments will probably be in new models.

I just played around with this tool and it works as advertised, which is cool but I'm up and running already. (For anyone reading this though who, like me, doesn't want to learn all the optimization work... I might see which one is faster on your machine)
When and if you have a second one, let the older one choose a middle name for the new kid.

Trader Joes just doesn’t really compete on price except for a few loss leaders like milk and eggs. Most people I know who go to TJs treat it as their default store because of the shopping experience. The stores are smaller but well staffed, have a well curated and consistent product selection, and are just more pleasant than other grocery stores.

Gemini the chatbot will still need to compete with ChatGPT on raw performance/intelligence/SOTA. Gemini should first be considered the undisputed winner of AI chatbots. Right now ChatGPT 4 is the "winner" in mindshare and I am not sure what Google needs to do except for OpenAI to bungle their own releases.

Gemini integration with Google's apps will compete with Microsoft's app on integration.

And the condition for Gemini to win: Google has to go all-in. and that means creating an AI that will eventually phase out their cash-cow Google Search. Microsoft and OpenAI does not have that kind of internal conflict.

It really is Google's to lose this AI race from now on. - We have heard this so many times and it seems like they are always getting behind by the day.

I'm genuinely curious how much doing heavy aerobic exercise (cycling) right next to a road with a bunch of cars affects my life expectancy. Especially since we're starting to discover that things like the tire dust from car tires wearing down while driving also has a huge impact on areas near roads.

I know a singer that avoids doing any heavy exercise near major roads because it affects their performance after even just after a short exposure.

> So what solution are you proposing?

To the problem of human beings receiving way too much money for the time they spend doing their job?

Easy: crazy taxes. If the company really wants to increase the salary up to some limit, knowing that 95% of that increase will go into taxes, then good for them. Otherwise they can do something else, like increasing other salaries or hiring people.

Also if you ask me, there should be laws for the difference between the lowest and the highest salary in a company. I.e. "the highest salary cannot be more than X times the lowest salary". Which means that if the CEO wants to earn more, they need to raise the lowest salaries.
I wonder if they'll work on the little things. Like text reflow for their mobile browser.

We have a massive aging population, and text reflow helps immensely, and only Opera does jt well.

Does this ruling make IVR systems illegal, too? I applaud the effort because this really could curb a lot of spam, but I am curious because AI generated voices in phone calls are already ubiquitous and have been for decades. Do they have a specific line they're drawing on quality of the voice?

What common physical space keeps people from interrupting you?

- I had my own room as a kid. My parents and brother banged on the door whenever they pleased.

- I worked at a tech company, had my own desk, and wore headphones. Coworkers still sent me Slack messages and tapped me on my shoulder.

- I've lived in a home in the burbs. People came to my home and rang the bell.

None of them were hard for the interruptor to do, and all of them happened frequently. In fact, I would argue that they are more frequent than the number of phone calls I get nowadays, which are actually easy much easier to screen/ignore than any of the above interruptions.

As a long-time Elixir Developer who has gladly used it to bootstrap many applications and companies, I have to say I think this article is actively harmful to the community.

It's an extremely thinly veiled sales pitch for their "Petal Pro" paid boilerplate.

At the same time, it does nothing to address the tradeoffs of certain features like Live View. Which for the record is a poor fit if your app suffers from client-side latency or requires any kind of offline-enabled features.

They've done it with curl: they made an alias to their own program not supporting the same feature set and it inevitably backfired [1]. sudo is a complex program with a lot of different options [2] and as people from MS said here, it's never going to be compatible because of how Windows works differently.

While I understand picking a familiar name, sudo is certainly not the only player, there's also doas. This shows people can adapt to another name and another name would have seemed more appropriate.

At the last company I started, a b2b saas, as of 5 years in, there were under 10 logged-in pageviews from Firefox. Ever. It's dead; the coyote is 50 feet past the cliff; and we're just waiting for gravity to appear.

Mozilla has also clearly given up on Firefox, though people get mad on here when you point that out. I just don't know why they're operating under the delusion that anyone will listen to Mozilla about privacy when everyone realizes they no longer build a browser that matters.
>Congress should have gotten off their hands and written something by now, same with Crypto legislation. “Chevron Deference” breeds tyranny through legislative apathy

It would be literally impossible for congress to rule on every nuanced thing that Chevron allows agencies to do. Saying "congress should take care of it" shows either an intentional disregard for the roles agencies and their experts play, or a complete misunderstanding of the power it grants to federal agencies.

"It breeds tyranny" is absolutely ridiculous. When agencies rule in a manner people find unjust, they sue and win or lose in a court of law based on the content of the policy. It also gives congress a chance to rule on "big ticket" things that do need addressing without causing an absolute standstill having to rule on something as mundane as what the legal weight and length limit should be each season for catching a salmon from federal land in Montana.
