Well, the people who don't have kids won't pass their values on to their kids.

Much of the value system of the liberal west and the westernized world (i.e. what we call the modern world these days) is, if not explicitly anti-natalist, implicitly anti-natal. That is it values other things, like personal achievement and self-actualization over having children and all that entails (e.g. self sacrifice). This is the value system I grew up in, and I see the result. My dad had 35 first cousins, and the seven total cousins (including my siblings and me), have produced only seven offspring.

I really think we're in an interesting situation with current falling fertility worldwide and the prospect of declining world population. In a world with a shrinking, graying population, tight-knit subcultures with pro-natal value systems will be in a very strong position. They will grow rapidly as a share of population.

Furthermore, they will be youthful and vibrant when the rest of the world is old and getting older, which should afford better protection against youth attrition than they have today. In 2124, a young person leaving their, Mormon, or Traditionalist Catholic, or Ultra-orthodox Jewish community for the secular world may feel less like a small town kid moving to the city and more like a kid leaving the city to live in a an economically depressed small town.

In democratic societies these communities will also have growing political power. We see this today in Israel, where secular women's total fertility rate is 1.9, while Haredi (ultra-orthodox) women's TFR is around 6. The Haredim was a microscopic minority at the founding of Israel and now they are a voting bloc big enough to topple governments.
It's worth noting is that at the time the EPA's position was _in favor_ of Chevron, while the agencies right now tend to be a lot less corporation-friendly (hence the need to overturn the precedent, some say).

Also worth noting is that the head of the EPA at the time was Anne Gorsuch, mother of Justice Neil Gorsuch.
Perhaps you thought you were being ironic. You weren't. "Common knowledge" is seriously behind the state of the science.
One of the ways I make myself relax and fall asleep is visualizing a countdown from 1000 to 0. Actually visualizing the shapes of the numbers, to occupy that part of my brain, and then mentally saying the numbers as well.

I'm absolutely terrible with faces and names, though, but I think that's mostly due to poor social conditioning.
That's kind of hilarious. I guess he's using the HTTP "referer" tag

Building tools for others is a competency that is under rewarded at Google. They would never.
> (though as far as I understand, "just turn it into a string" is not idiomatic Go)

Sadly while I’ve seen many argue that it’s not idiomatic go, I’ve yet to see more than a handful of projects in the wild that don’t simply `return nil, err` because anything more than that is excruciating given the number of those lines in any given project.
because the tooling for VS code extensions to be part of the VS code UI is lackluster. It shoehorns people and prevents the development of something like a fully integrated SQL workbench. Or a form editor. Or reusable property panes, editor widget UI. If vscode had those things, it would be a proper IDE.
Take for example this outline view: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eclipse-theia/theia/master... - not something that would be easy to integrate into VS code as an extension. Very nice work. Why VS code doesn't have it is probably related to cannibalizing other MS products.
FINALLY. Chevron is the bedrock of bureaucracy, and it provides a layer of opacity. It's fundamentally anti-democratic and anti-republic--note the lack of capitalization.
Not a perfect comparison, but probably closer to mycotoxin exposure than smoking.

Use the next several years to build as much muscle as you can without damaging your joints. It gets extraordinarily difficult to add new muscle as you enter your mid-30s, but fortunately you still have time. I work out 3-4 days per week for ~90 minutes each.

If you've never done strength training before, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn how much extra mass you can add, while remaining on a typical diet, with zero chemical assistance. Your trainer will be able to help you.
CouchDB's HTTP API used to fit in just one file (less than 1k lines of Erlang), and it was a great jumping-off point for learning databases and web programming: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/0.8.1/src/couchdb/cou...

It was written by one engineer, and then later refactored by a team to look like this (and many other files): https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/main/src/chttpd/src/c...

It's an interesting exercise to see how something grows and changes as it transitions from inspiration to real-world usage.
I faced a similar problem as my wife had a chorionangioma, a placenta tumor. Or it was my son, it’s even hard to tell who had it as placenta is external to both. In the hospital where we were, they were doing their best to keep the baby alive despite all the issues with the rupture of the amniotic sac and body damages that he already had, which I understand. What I didn’t understand, and still don’t, is how they were getting ready to try and keep him alive once he would be born, most probably at the 6th month and with probable brain and other physical damages. I respect doctors who can’t choose between their patients life and death, and most of all parents who love their to be born kids so much that they are ready to face a life or hardship. I just think that medicine should not just focus on keeping patients alive, but also consider the quality of their life before taking a decision together with the relatives.
>Its' a very weak claim to having any skin in the game.

The government is the only entity that can legally take away my liberties, possessions, and life. By falling under its rule, all residents literally have their skins in the game.

Your starting point of money transfers could be read as an argument for better economic equality. If, for a person with a socially necessary and full-time job, taking more in taxes than they receive in benefits will financially ruin them, I won't blame the worker.
>Well, that's the implicit argument of the people who are saying they should continue to be allowed to act as the arbiters of their own authority, without judicial oversight.

No, that's no my implicit argument so you're wrong on the facts. And you keep saying they are the arbiters of their own authority.

Congress is.
Exactly. I came here to say that. The amazing thing is Lancaster wrote that book before there was a pc of any kind to hook up to. But he showed very clearly how to generate NTSC monochrome video with a bucket of TTL chips. Such good times and good memories. SWTPC sold a kit of that TV Typewriter that I built. Not only Apple and SWTPC but Sol and mo doubt others basically cloned Lancaster’s design.
Yup. A plane should feel "normal" even at terminal velocity, as the acceleration the majority of the time would be zero, with three exceptions:

1. The start of the drop. This will feel briefly like freefall.

2. The end of the drop. You recognized the gravity (pun intended) of this.

3. Turbulence. The plane will be experiencing terminal velocity wind. I assume this will shake stuff up a bit more than usual inside the cabin.
You probably don’t go anywhere, because I travel a lot and trying to only use cash would’ve been a huge burden.

The Order of the Good Death has loads of resources on how to have these conversations, what your options for advanced directives etc. are, and guides on how to set everything up.

They also do a lot of advocacy around green burial, alkaline hydrolysis, and whatnot as well.

Caitlin Doughty (who founded the Order of the Good Death) Ask a Mortician channel on youtube covers this stuff too, but the older videos might be out of date.
This isn't an effect name but if I see this in a bug report I'd tag it a 'works for me' / 'unable to repro'
Well, that’s just like, your opinion, man. (Big Lebowski, i think).
I feel like having a kid is one of the final milestone in adult maturity. That isn’t to say that you can’t be a mature adult without kids, but the act of having them sort of fast tracks you - and you either rise to the occasion or you don’t.

I don’t really have a point, just reflecting.
Just watched a video on the healthy fertility rate of Kazakhstan. People need to go there and find out what's different.

Can we have links to "the state of science"?
Wow, gamespot still exists.
This. When the electorate is sufficiently divided or otherwise in the process of debate that there is no consensus, it is proper that the legislative bodies representing the electorate also likewise have no consensus with which to pass new legislation.

Also, this feature also works the other way: If Congress were to pass, say, abortion guarantees or Chevron Deference into law, then good luck trying to get them repealed. See also Obamacare, which hasn't been repealed after it was passed despite hell being raised.
Had a pretty close childhood friend choose assisted suicide (in California) a few years ago after a year long battle with blood cancer. It's not easy to do, I think his biggest fear was losing his ability to consent as his mental condition declined rapidly. The link below outlines the process. He was getting home hospice care staying at an Aunt's house hear the hospital he was treated at. I don't think it is the right choice for everybody, but I certainly think in my friends case it was.

If you have money, a lot of things are free in the US. Ironic, I know.
Where, so I can take a look for more details.

Natural iron minerals are made of oxizized iron, that includes oxigen or sulfur.

The chemical process to deoxidize iron requires a lot of energy.
I don't know a lot of advanced physics or quantum mechanics, but black holes also confuse me.

I would imagine that black holes show the limit of modern physics, there are still things to learn, and models of physics will probably be adjusted in the future.

I guess there are physicists who are able to predict how a black hole works and appears, and how it can be explained, but I haven't read about it.
At some point you can't say hi to everyone, which is very normal. I walk by a hundred coworkers a day, and don't greet all of them, it isn't anything personal if I don't.

That said, you better believe I Do take the extra 5 seconds to say hi to my bosses when I pass them.

I really enjoyed the write up. As father to a 2y/o as well I relate so hard to much of it.

This line sticks out to me:

you see life as a collection of experiences to be sampled

...because I feel like that was my hardest adjustment to becoming a parent while the vast majority of my friend circles are either single or DINKs. You very quickly become a sideline to many people. You get invitations to join the pint after work, to go hit up the trails each weekend, to travel, to do frivolous things on a whim but you just...can't anymore. I think I struggled with that transition for a long time. Partially worried I would lose my friends and become isolated, partially the FOMO of no longer being able to partake on all the things that were most enjoyable to me.

But thinking about it at this point? I've lost a few friends (not in a breakup sort of way, they just slowly faded out) but the ones who stick around were always those I was closest to. I do miss out on a lot more of the hobbies I once loved but at the same time I've traded those for experiences that are new, different, and fulfilling in their own ways. I've truly been a believer that the best reward always comes after a period of suffering or struggle. In the same way that cold glass of water feels like heaven after a strenuous workout that immense feeling of reward when your kid takes first steps, first words, first sentence just crush all other emotions and swell you with joy and love. Is 2 years of hard work worth that immense wash of emotion? Arguably yes. And I hope to keep getting hit with those experiences.

I've never been shy to say it isn't something for everyone. You sacrifice a lot to have kids. Financially, physically, emotionally, mentally, it all takes a toll, but the rewards are also so much deeper than anything else.
This feeling is interesting, and very new. During the Baby Boom, people married young (women at 22 or 23) and had kids young, not as a "capstone" to a developed life.

Do you have any insight into why you feel that way?
`__builtin_dynamic_object_size` has been buggy since it was first implemented, breaking programs that relied on the previously-documented behavior of `malloc_usable_size`.

Instead of fixing the bug, the developers decided to remove the documentation and replace it with something else, breaking backwards compatibility.

Now, it's not that we can't ever break backwards compatibility - but it needs to be done with great deliberation and a transition period, and an alternative needs to be provided. I gave an example of an alternative.
I saw the film A Serious Man[0] at a cinema in Amsterdam when it came out. There's an opening scene with Yiddisch dialogue and it had no subtitles but judging from the laughs everyone understood it.

I saw company being killed by failed backup system. One unfortunate hardware failure, bad backups and company service goes offline with no way to recover in timely manner. Big clients require big compensation, company goes bankrupt. One shell script put in crontab could have prevented that, but nobody cared enough. It was not a big company, though. But consequences of one simple overlook were dire.
> Since this seems otherwise unrelated to the desktop Eclipse IDE, does anyone have positive feelings about the Eclipse brand?

I do.

It was used as the basis for code-sourcery, which was the foundation for many a vendors embedded toolkit.

More recently, I used it for ESP development, and I was absolutely floored that Eclipse is, in 2024, a lightweight and featureful alternative to VSCode.

My prior memories of Eclipse was that, once started, it would slow my machine to a crawl. Now it runs lighter than the most popular "modern" editors; after doing the ESP project, I noticed just how laggy VSCode is.

It could do with a few plugins, though. Copilot, and things like that.
It is completely normal human behavior when you work with many people.
> Shouldn't that require a Constitutional Amendment?

No, Article III § 1 explicitly vests judicial power “in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish” [1].

Maybe I have a different perspective, but I find both platforms to be absolutely awful. I had to find a car with CL years ago ... uggh, what a shite platform.

Now - FB is decidedly worse though. These walled gardens, I swear the spartan simplicity of Usenet was better than these.
Yeah, but they were identified and enough evidence to make the arrest, yet decided to wait. that is the puzzling part. how long would they have waited.
If I check a parent task with an already-checked child task, the check is removed from the child task. That doesn't seem right.
I've seen enough code bases that I feel like I have a good spectrum from truly exceptional to horrific.

The best code bases had these things in common:

1. Consistency: they had clear patterns that were followed. It doesn't matter what the pattern was; some were strictly object-oriented, some were purely functional, some used RESTful API, and others leveraged gRPC or GraphQL. The important thing was that it was all consistent across the codebase so even if you were looking at a part you'd never seen before you could still orient yourself and reason about it quickly.

2. Ownership: there was always a single individual person who was ultimately responsible for each section of code. That doesn't mean they wrote all the code themselves; they were the final arbiter on the rare occasion a truly contentious conflict arose. They also had the unilateral power to make changes within their section of the code if they felt it was needed. This was always a rarely exercised power but they could, if they had to, push a change through. There could be many such people spread out across the codebase but for each discrete part the number was always one.

3. Clear Boundaries: it was clear what each part of the codebase's purpose was, and the boundaries were rigidly enforced. Things were never tightly coupled across these boundaries. Business logic was always isolated from things like serialization/deserialization, each system was forced to maintain its own models of the world that it cared about.

The worst code bases had these things in common:

1. Lack of Eng Representation: Product controlling development schedules and insisting everything is high priority and needs done right now! Project managers who always wonder, "yes but what if 9 women could make a baby in a month. Why don't we try adding more resources? Can we just try?" Business types who see software as a cost center not a profit driver. This can also happen if your engineer leadership didn't come up through software engineering but rather QA or IT or started out in academia or is just plain and MBA type with no eng background.

2. "Time saving" Tech: We don't need a database schema, we can just go NoSQL and have JSON blobs, it will save so much time! We can share models between the front end and back end, it will save so much time! Don't write SQL, use this ORM, it will save so much time! Don't think about DevOps, just use this all in one hosting solution, it will save so much time! What about this low code/no code solution? It will save so much time!

3. Misaligned Incentives: This could be because they were contractors with no stake in the company or this could be because it was a large company and there was no realistic way they'd ever be fired. Either way there were no consequences for writing bad code.
I don't think this is the "gotcha" you think it is.

I'm sure those private landowners don't want to lose a huge revenue stream. I expect that nature conservation is going to take a back seat to that.
LLMs are deterministic. We inject randomness after the fact, just because we don't like our text being deterministic. Turn temperature to 0 and you're good.
Yes, I've never really felt like I found a place in the world - I might be doing ok these days, but I feel I didn't so much climb the ladder as much as I held on for dear life as it was pulled up. I can't imagine being a child these days and trying to find my way.
Isn't it expensive to build underground?
To be clear, that paper is not arguing Jewish ethnic groups were intermixing with European locals since prehistoric times, it is arguing that the Ashkenazi Jews (or perhaps it would be better to say: the proto-Asheknazi Jews) assimilated lots of European converts with ancestry in Europe dating back to prehistoric times.
Hi, I'm on the Stripe Atlas team and would like to look into this asap. Mind emailing me with your Stripe account ID at pparthasarathy@stripe.com?
And how does this farce of a rule help you child? Not at all!

You think that somehow this will make sesame-free bread. Nope, that's too expensive. They responded to the FDA's garbage by throwing a pinch of sesame in. Apparently some manufacturers didn't manage to throw enough in, or perhaps the detect threshold isn't sensitive enough. Throw that pinch of sesame into enough bread and it might not be detected even though it's there.

If there was an adequate market for sesame-free bread you would already see it. Nothing is stopping a manufacturer from opening a sesame-free bread factory--that is, nothing but a lack of demand.
Believe it or not, but the legitimacy of our institutions aren't in question after a ruling you dislike.

And I will enjoy my park. Maybe the rate at which I have been hearing stories about children getting pricked with dirty needles will lessen with this ruling.
It's true that both parties take part in it, however Democrats feel forced into it and would rather not. Democrats have repeatedly put forth efforts to end the practice. They have little choice but to play by the rules as they are until they manage to finally put a stop to it.

Sure. I think our disconnect is that I don't think it's appropriate to use the word "share" to describe this. Exchanging something for money is not "sharing", it's business. So when you said "the primary purpose of [imaginary property] law is to encourage sharing", I took that to be referencing when a work enters the public domain after the exclusive copyright term.

And my overall point is that a work that has been compiled/DRMed/etc will never enter (be shared with) the public domain even after the copyright term expires - rather it will still remain subject to the technical protections. And so I don't think it's at all appropriate to use the word "sharing" to describe such works.
It’s not really a separate power. Courts express their understanding of the law. Some laws are statutes, some are the constitution itself. If there are conflicts then the court will express its opinion on which is authoritative. What the Executive and Legislative branches choose to do after the fact are things those branches may do.
His blogs (LiveJournal, and later on, his own WordPress instance) and website has content going all the way back to 1993. I remember finding it as a teenager and reading all the stories and being enchanted by them.
