Parent of triplets on a throwaway account here. Some of this may come across as rude, sorry.

- You have one baby, you truly don't know the meaning of stress.

- Talk with and listen to other good parents at work/in your life.

- The What To Expect... books were gold for us as first-time (x3) parents.

- Your kid will be perfectly okay if they're on formula (but definitely give as much breast milk as you can).

- Alternate night-feeding duties between you and your wife. Then be glad you don't have two hands and three babies to feed by yourself on that shift.

- While doing all of this and the night shifts, I still had to work 40-50 hours a week at a job. I was mostly unproductive for 6 months.

- Man up and support your wife. All I hear is me, me, me. Your wife is under way more stress than you and her body is still recovering (physically/hormonally). Our situation was compounded by a serious episode of post-partum depression. Fortunately, we got through that intact.

- This time will be over quickly and some day you will actually look back and miss it.

> Last night, my wife was almost yelling at the baby because she won't drink the milk and it was really frustrating. This needs to change.

Try to be understanding of her stress and do anything you can to alleviate it.

> Our baby wakes up every 3 hours on average for milk and her mother is pumping milk.

She can pump during the day and put the milk in the fridge.

> Our own relationship (wife and I) seems shaky suddenly and she has started resenting me.

You need to communicate. You need to understand your wife is healing and under the stress of much more responsibility than you. Try not to take the resenting personally. Support her any way you can.

And yes, I learned all of this the hard way by making a lot of the above mistakes.
Why the fuck is this community so against indie developers from monetizing their desktop software? Nobody complains when SAAS products or mobile apps are monetized. Hypocrisy is astounding here.
I suggest you read "It's too hard" when written by other developers as, "It's too hard [given that I spend N hours a week on this and would rather actually accomplish something in the next two months than learn the 'right' API]." Or, "It's too hard [given various constraints that I'm not going to explain to you but are valid to me.]" It'll save you having to give speeches about shitty excuses.

That said, if it makes sense for your project, make it happen! :)
This is also true for getting attacked personally on the Internet. If you're getting hit hard by say, 4chan, because they think you did something terrible or whatever, completely ignoring the personal attacks goes a long way towards stopping them.

That article, at least in part, explains that the Go Regexp engine handles regexps that would cause pathological behavior in backtracking implementations. From the article:

"Some might argue that this test is unfair to the backtracking implementations, since it focuses on an uncommon corner case. This argument misses the point: given a choice between an implementation with a predictable, consistent, fast running time on all inputs or one that usually runs quickly but can take years of CPU time (or more) on some inputs, the decision should be easy. Also, while examples as dramatic as this one rarely occur in practice, less dramatic ones do occur. Examples include using (.) (.) (.) (.) (.*) to split five space-separated fields, or using alternations where the common cases are not listed first. As a result, programmers often learn which constructs are expensive and avoid them, or they turn to so-called optimizers. Using Thompson's NFA simulation does not require such adaptation: there are no expensive regular expressions."

Since the Go Regexp implementation trades off speed for predictability in performance, I'm wondering if in the real world the performance hit is noticeable.
My usage of the term lawsuit is in the context of consequences or rather, punishment. The actions of the mass at online medium was certainly "wrong" (hence there is an apology). How does one correct the wrong in the future? Either through self-conscious actions based on the past experience, or through the consequence/punishment. In this example, there is no person but there is a whole mass of people. So obviously this is more complicated situation.

The policy makers and the law probably have old-fashioned ideas on how this issue can be corrected, but can the online mass come up with their own solution, so the same type of issue is eliminated from repeating in the future?
I am a woman and I feel disadvantaged compared to men in two ways when it comes to family life:

Just a completely ridiculous attitude and an example of the article.

Very few men, especially in this day and age" get to say "I want to have 5 kids" or "let's stop at 2 kids" or "I do not want to be a parent".

You are not disadvantaged compared to men in this way, you are incredibly advantaged. Literally have authority over this in a zillion ways men do not.

And the extra decade without family responsibilities without limiting your options for spouses, I would argue, is the biggest differentiator in the workplace successes.

And that's the reason for the article. Women have been told they can have it all: 5 kids and workplace success.

>Would add to what you've written above that "house husbands" are not necessarily revered in a positive way by popular culture (like business titans, celebrities, athletes etc.) as important high achievers.

Would you say that "house wives" are? Plenty of popular culture now portrays the woman who stays home to raise her children as a traitor to her gender who should instead be serving as an example to young girls by climbing the corporate ladder and achieving income equality with her husband.

>Women in general want men who can slay the dragon and bring home the meal and make a comfortable life (which of course varies greatly on the woman).

I think it would be more accurate to say that women want both, and when that doesn't obtain and it comes down to a choice between "has a stable well-paying job" and "never has to stay late for work" the man standing on the unemployment line tends to lose. Which modern society has caused to be increasingly the case for women as well -- hence the increase in demand for daycare but not the increase in demand for homemakers of either gender.

The City (or Manhattan at least) can be locked down and have checkpoints at the choke-point entrances; not so much for the rest of the nation. For citizens used to security in their office and apartment buildings, having some security personnel check people "at the door" to the city is just a natural extension.

The hard truth is that in an expanding security bureaucracy, the weak point becomes the bureaucracy; no need to sneak past security if you can sneak people into the security role who are on your side. Subversion is harder to do when the security bureaucracy is smaller.

The disagreeable anecdote shows that the scale upon which memory efficiency matters is significantly greater than that of the example where the issue is raised. It matters for "very large number[s]" not when a template is used to overload a function for numeric types - it matters when memory constraints appear on the back of the envelop...or in the profile.

Wrong.

It is true that computers are fast enough that lack of performance will not be an issue unless the volume of work to be done is very, very large. However once you look at performance, you find that memory access patterns in the small matter a great deal.

For instance take a recent Intel Sandy Bridge CPU has, per core, 64KB L1 cache, 256 KB L2 cache, and 1 to 8 MB L3 cache. Half of each cache is available for code, the other half for data. If hyperthreading is turned on, these caches may be split by two concurrent processes. So if either the data accessed in, or the code for, a particular loop exceeds 32KB, you will experience a noticeable slowdown, and if possible you'd like to keep it under 16 KB. So it is better to do sequential access of large data structures, and avoid random access.

Note that is KB, not MB. Memory efficiency matters on very small data structures. You won't notice until you have a lot of data. But when you have to fix it, you have to think at multiple scales.

Templates are syntactic sugar. Cancer of the semicolon I can understand. But, why would one be fearful that a standard feature of C++ is grossly memory inefficient?

There historically have been a lot of complaints floating around about how nice templated code blew up into monstrosities when compiled. Given that, rumor control does not seem unwarranted.
It sounds like a major source of tension is breast feeding. Have you looked into hiring a breast feeding coach?

Another note is that babies in my experience are oddly perceptive to the parents being stressed out or tense (not in any sort of damaging way). Try to do anything you guys possibly can to relax... massage, walks, whatever, etc etc and you may find she feeds better and is generally easier on you guys.

Lastly your situation is more common than unique. At the worst you'll muddle through it and look back and say thank god thats over. It feels like torture now but you guys will be fine - every couple Ive known in your situation goes through some form of this with a new child.
It's just HTML that Mailchimp gave me that I stuck in the post.

Maybe for fire-fighting? Seems a little close for that though, if something went wrong it could be in the middle of it. I can't think of anything else though.

Edit: Maybe it feeds some sort of un-manned fire suppression system? That would be pretty smart.
there are a lot of new features! Beyond distributing data across multiple machines in a cluster, there's more SQL surface area, multiple levels of redundancy for HA, and a distributed query optimizer. Some cool stuff with bi-directional lock-free skiplists too w.r.t. indexes
I'd say this is at least in part a side effect of a) vague wording ("general welfare") and b) unanticipated situations ("interstate commerce" between CA and NY in milliseconds).
Their resource estimator starts off at 1640 cores [1] and even the bottom most tick on the scale represents 500 cores. For people who can dedicate that amount of hardware to their database the licensing cost is probably not a major component.

This seems ideal for the enterprise use case, in particular because it's extremely performant, secure, and doesn't require a central/third-party server (e.g. AWS). The 'must always be online' requirement is actually a plus, not a minus for that crowd. Enterprises are generally very concerned about being able to revoke access to a given resource instantaneously. Any app that stores local copies complicates that quite a bit.

People will dismiss this as 'a toy that geeks use', but as Chris Dixon has noted, 'what the smartest people do on the weekend is what everyone else will do during the week in ten years' [1]

She's speaking theoretically. But it's the cold fact for women: have kids before you're 40 and disrupt your career (if you're going for an intensive career where goals must be met) or don't have (your own) kids. I'm a woman and whatever way I look at it, it sums up to that.

While you're true, it's only takes 5 seconds to change the config. Plus some security certifications (eg PCI) check those signatures during their automated scans.

My problem is when people think hiding their signatures makes their systems more secure rather than equally secure but with less garbage broadcast
Yeah, I've got to agree with the others here. There's nothing inherent with the JS community that dictates a good actor should automatically open source something they've done. He's free to assign whatever exchange of value he wants for the work that he's done, just as everyone else is free to choose whether they want to give the amount he's chosen in exchange for access to the software.
Well they could use a larger protective stack than just sync:

Some of the screenshots hark back to the good ol' days of homepages like iGoogle or Yahoo's customizable homepage. It's been a while since I ever had my browser go to one page when I start it up or open a new tab, so I'm guessing the integration would only be a complement to the main browser/card integration.
When making art, there is tremendous value
in doing what has been done before.
It's called practice, and the value is having
the experience of having done something yourself.

This is so true, and so often overlooked in the rush to "innovate" or "disrupt" or compete with those around us. The most creative creations are an act of play, and it takes a lot of practice to get that good at playing.
You're partially correct.

Yes, our corporate attorney was useless. We had been under investigation for a year prior to formal charges being filed. He made a variety of changes to our contracts in an effort to make the company compliant with CA law, (mostly indemnifying us against any loss that may come as a result of a person placing their vehicles in our program.) He failed. I was sentenced to state prison.

Our "proper legal structure" mattered little in lieu of the circumstances that led to the company's (and my freedom's) demise.
How about we make something people need?
I'm an iOS developer in Dallas too. Without going into too much bagging on our terrible developer community, I will say that you have a couple of choices:

1. Bag a few freelance gigs. Build up your skills and confidence.

2. Try to get your foot in the door with a creative agency. Dallas has a lot of agencies and they generally are always looking for iOS developers for projects. The work is usually pretty simple.

3. Get in touch with Bottle Rocket. They're a local iOS development shop and may have need of junior developers.

So now you have in place all the bits you need for a "members only" netnews feed, someone should go dig up the code and create a 'news' sync'd document. If you played your cards right you could use off the shelf news readers that look into a local repo of the news.

With just a tiny bit of crypto code you could add a repudiation feature (keys signed by the secret vs the secret itself) and control access to both individual groups and individual users.

"reading the comments here you would think those who view NYC from the outside think we live in some totalitarian state. Nothing could be further from the truth, in fact"

I spent the first 18 years of my life in NYC. I still go back to visit family several times each year.

I can tell you that the only place in America where people are less free than they are in NYC is at the airports. Here are some things to think about:

1. The NYPD is basically an army. Sure, you have officers who are only armed with a handgun, but every time I have visited NYC in the past few years I have encountered at least one paramilitary team. We are talking about soldiers whose uniforms say "POLICE" standing guard in the village, or Times Square, or in front of a bank in some uninteresting neighborhood.

2. I carry a small pocket knife. When I went to NYC with it, I was stopped by the police, threatened with 2 weeks in jail, and then politely told to hide the knife so that a less "friendly" officer would not arrest me.

3. I was given a $50 fine for walking between subway cars while a train was sitting in a station.

4. I watched as dozens of cops closed in around a handful of protesters.

5. I have had the police tell me that either they will inspect my bag or I will not be allowed to ride the subway.

6. Cameras are confiscated or damaged at the Ground Zero memorial.

7. Even hunting rifles are hard to get permission to own in NYC.

8. Stop and frisk -- need I say more?

Plants don't just "reproduce themselves". Nor do they "infect" other plants. This is not a "infectious" trait. If you cross pollinate (a.k.a. 'breeding plants'), the active genes responsible for glowing in the dark may or may not even be passed down.

Though your concerns are well noted--see Monsanto's 'terminator' crops cross pollinating with neighboring 'normal' crops and making their seeds also sterile.
Why are you so against people giving their opinions? It doesn't read like they are saying that free and open source is the only path, just that they would prefer that it was.
