> I arrived to the conclusion that this "risk-aversion" in child rearing is basically the result of smaller families.

This seems unlikely. I had only one sibling, but way back when I was young we were given free rein. And we were latchkey kids, because both parents were working. The only rule was that you had to be home in time for dinner, but otherwise we were completely unsupervised after school and could roam anywhere our feet or bicycles could take us. Everyone was like this at the time, all of the kids, regardless of family size. My next door neighbor and good friend was an only child. IIRC most of my friends had one sibling at most.

I think what's changed is the media fearmongering about the dangers to kids. Crap like America's Most Wanted freaked out parents, massively damaging our collective psyche. Also, the rise of the internet has given ultra-judgmental cranks a platform to spread their opinions about child rearing and tut-tut any parent who isn't a helicopter. Indeed, ultra-judgmental internet cranks have practically taken over every aspect of society now.
Oh, that's simple, just predict the future with 100% accuracy.
Same here, and I try to let my kids do the same, but they don't seem to want it. My youngest is 9 and still wants me to bring him to school and pick him up. My oldest has a Swiss army knife, but I don't think he's ever used it. They almost never want to play outside, hang with their friends or anything like that. Maybe I should kick them out of the house, but that gets a lot of resistance and feels like punishment to them. And they're invariably back in 15 minutes.

At least they learned how to cross the street safely at a young age. That's the one bit of independence that stuck.
Doom Running on a Toothbrush
I agree it is a nuisance and I also am looking back to Keyconfig days with ton of nostalgia, but I've learnt to somehow overcome this in general with third party key remapping, in my case pretty basic AutoHotkey directives that simply translates "my" key combinations to "theirs" keyboard shortcuts. Can be possibly "scoped" only for given app, yet I have ended up leaving these mappings global, since they mostly make sense for any application in general.

For example I like to be able to have two distinct "close tab and focus left" and "..right" shortcuts, so I set every app to ditch MRU switching of tabs and always "close to right" (Ctrl+W, not remapped) and then have other (Ctrl+Shift+W) combination set to fire up Ctrl+Shift+PgUp (what moves active tab to the left in most apps) and then Ctrl+W what closes it natively, so new active tab is the closed one's former left neighbour.

; Firefox "close tab to the left"
; relies on about:config browser.tabs.selectOwnerOnClose=false
; (that ensures ^w will always select → RIGHT
; #IfWinActive, ahk_class MozillaWindowClass
; close to left
; this will effectively override the dreaded ctrl+shift+w close window
^+q::
^+w::
sendInput,^+{pgUp} ; = swap current tab with left neighbour
sleep,5
sendInput,^w ; = close current tab
return
; close to right (default)
;^w::
;sendInput,^w ; = close current tab
return
; #IfWinActive

The same shenanigan is doing (also global) mouse gesture for me (StrokesPlus, the olden one).

I find it interesting how the older person who hasn't had to hunt for opportunities in the current regime is wrong, but it's taken for granted that the younger person who hasn't had to hunt for opportunities in the old regime is right.

As well as everything else, I'd also suggest using GCC 14. GCC 12 is 2 years old, so whatever optimizations it does or doesn't do aren't that relevant.

Red Hat is scoping work upstream to make GCC perform better on RISC-V code.
Ah, so in that case it looks like reliability and durability are not exactly important or desired features for that kind of missions. Did I get it right?
Oh that's probably why then. I'm allergic to anything popular. I'm blind to it like ad blindness. When I see it I'm like the way my cat slinks under the couch when the mail lady arrives. I like to use Twitter to hang out with ordinary developers and thinkers like myself. If I wanted celebrities I'd watch TV which I don't. When my own tweets go viral, I get a lot of "great job" or "real nice!" kind of replies. But I don't see why those wouldn't be real people.

What is the difference between cloud and robot?
Seems like a wholesome venture to me. After all the very foundations of computing rely on the ability to differentiate between two states. It is only by convention we call them "1" and "0", and historical circumstance that we (mostly) use vast arrays of nanoscale transistors in SRAM and DRAM to represent almost all modern states. But any system that has (at least) two distinguishable states is a valid basis for computation. So projects like this are not just fun but remind us of the fundamental arbitrariness of our interpretations.

The next project I'd like to see from him (assuming he's not serious about quitting!) is the use of checkboxes to represent the layout of RAM in a simplified computer, and the state of a CPU registers and pc, such that the grid represents an input and a sequence of binary-encoded instructions. Might be simpler to define your own architecture, or pick a simple one like ARM. Using this, implement a simple, ideally recursive, algorithm like finding the gcd of two inputs. (Hopefully the state is actually stored in the checkboxes and not just treated as a rendering of some other more conventionally modeled internal state, such that if you slowed down execution and started clicking you'd get...interesting results.)

If monthly price won't increase than this appears to be a good change. But their dedicated servers have an "installation fee", so it won't be cost-effective to rent them for short periods, and VMs are billed on hourly basis already, to my knowledge. Not sure which products this change covers.
And later, Github could start selling these blue ticks. What could possibly go wrong? /s

(I do agree with your point that Github should be better at displaying which repo is the official one for a project.)

You might roll your eyes but I think there is a real qualitative difference in risk between walking in the park and swimming in the ocean. People walk through the park all the time, so if a tree branch does fall on your head there is a good chance someone might happen upon you before you are dead. And while you are waiting there, unconscious and hemorrhaging blood into your cranial cavity, at least you will be breathing in air instead of brackish seawater.

I have lived 15 minutes from the ocean my entire life and I have never gone swimming in it alone.

I'm not an absolutist either, each situation has to be assessed on its own merits. If the kids are all strong swimmers and they want to go to the pool without an adult, that's fine with me. I might even let them go together into the sea depending on which beach they're headed to. But if they're taking the 3-year-old in water wings out to the open ocean I'm going to be tagging along.

Likewise, if you want to walk alone in the park I think you'll probably be all right, but if you're hiking 10 miles out into the wilderness I'm going to strongly suggest you bring a buddy, whatever your age.

This sounds solvable with some kind of painful to write and test heuristic tool.

Something like "find other repos with similar product names and similar code but no forking audit trail" ... If you do an automated code diff and find it's involving say, posting stuff to a server, you can become suspicious. All these signals can become rather shallow with the right tooling

centralizing this would make it a bit more efficient because you can just cache things and respond fairly immediately
> Like riding a minibike without a helmet is stupidity.

It's what kind of risk we're talking about. When I'm supervising my 4-year-old, I definitely want to prevent him from getting life-altering brain trauma. But if he falls and breaks his arm? Certainly worth warning him about, but in the end he'll be fine, and giving him the choice to take that risk is part of his development.

I let him use the battery-powered electric drill (under close supervision), because he's shown that he's careful, and the worst that can could happen is he get some skin abrasions. He's not getting anywhere near the circular saw until he's a lot older.
Daft: Distributed DataFrame for Python
The aeroplane takes off from an airport, lands back in the airport, turned around ready to go in half an hour (this is assuming a multistage arrangement where only the first stage is a plane; if you're talking SSTO it's a different story, but that's always been a _bit_ of a pipe dream).
As a parent, I have found that raising a child without risk, fear and the occasional smaller painful accident is not possible. My daughter is 4, and we can not convince her that something she does is dangerous until she has empirically proven it. Exceptions are obvious things where it is clear that you will die or you "will become a skeleton" (crossing the road without looking, playing around train tracks, playing with electricity).

Examples:

"Don't sit on the backrest of that chair, it will topple over". "No, that's not true at all, you're wrong!!!" 5 minutes later: Crash. Quiet. Cry. Never done again.

"You cannot build bridges out of sofa cushions between the sofa and the coffee table, it won't support you". "No! I am small! It will hold!" 5 minutes later: Crash. Quiet. Cry. Never done again.

On bicycle: "Drive slower, you have to break!". "No, I like it fast! I cannot fall, my tires are big!" Seconds later: Crash against fence. Quiet. Cry. Now she drives carefully.

In winter: "Be careful on that ice!". "But my new shoes have rubber, dad, they won't slip, don't you know that?!?" Seconds later: Slip. Bamm. Quiet. Cry. Now she knows rubber soles slip on ice.

As long as there is no risk of a serious, life-threatening accident, I have become pretty relaxed. I remember that I constantly had scraped knees and bruises as a child. When I was 7, my grandparents regularly send me to a gas station nearby to buy the paper, and my mother would send me to the supermarket with my 4 year old brother to get groceries. I walked to kindergarten by myself when I was 5.
I think that'll get way more common with time, eg no one would acknowledge September 11th at first but now I think if you watched a tv show set in the year 2020-2024 they'd acknowledge that as part of the history. There's 2 reasons I can think why you wouldn't want to include a recent event, the biggest one obviously is that TV is escapism and people don't want to see their troubles highlighted in their escapism story (and also advertisers might not want their products displayed on anything mentioning traumatic recent events), but another is that when you're writing for a tv show in the modern worlds, you don't really expect to do as much creative worldbuilding as you would for a fantasy show. But if you include recent events that are going to cause a huge geopolitical ripple, you won't be able to predict as well what happens next.

Thank you for posting this. I was thinking of going for a vacation to Korea _with kids_, and now I don’t think I will.

With so many people deciding to go childless i am not so sure.
> I can only assume that if a kid doesn't have an older sibling "to keep an eye on them" the parents take this role, and parents tend to be more risk-adverse and responsible caretakers than siblings.

This hypothesis doesn't make sense, because all children were treated differently many decades ago, and by pure math the most common type of child is the first born. Every family no matter the size has a firstborn child, who by definition has no older sibling to keep an eye on them. The fact is that parents were just less hovering helicopters in the past. I can attest to this as firstborn myself.

Just guessing but I believe they run their own colocated infraestruture and don't have much or anything that autoscales, so if they're not overprovisioned enough and there's a lot of threads that have too many comments it happens. I also saw they are hiring for an infra engineer role so they might also be understaffed.
iirc the os needs to have processor specific task switching code in assembly, Freertos must have tons of ports already. Nim supposedly has nice FFI for C. The niceness of freertos is then mostly about it's.. system call design. If it's good, then you could probably progressively rewrite freertos in nim.

Never used nim and been a while since I did any embedded.

China Has Navalnys, Hidden from the Public
Large animals have substantial carbon emissions.

A horse emits an average of two tonnes of carbon emissions a year [1], comparable to that of a car [2].

The full picture gets complicated when you account for vehicle fuel, horse diet, age of vehicle/horse, land use, storage etc. But in general it's fair to say that horses are broadly similar to cars in carbon impact.

Compare both with pedal bicycles, where impacts are effectively negligible [3]

Yes, and they achieve that by routing the data through the integrated GPU.

I had a problem with Windows and AMD drivers where in this configuration the integrated GPU would run full throttle despite not doing anything serious, making the system run hot.

I "solved" it by using the DisplayPort - 10°C difference on the CPU and, more importantly, no throttling.

It is not often down, but it's very easy to hit its rate limiter when upvoting or commenting. Waiting a minute usually fixes it.

The rate limiter is even stricter when not logged in — for a period I wanted to take a break with getting into online arguments, so I stayed logged out, which would cause my IP to be banned after a day or two (a bit annoying, though easily unbanned with the self-service system: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4761102) — IIRC dang confirmed that it would be better to stay logged in to avoid this anti-bot measure.
