According to her, all women who give birth can and will produce enough breast milk and she had the evidence to prove that.

Bullshit (not you; her). The only way to prove that, given that humans are messy biologicals and not a mathematical equation, is to line up every woman who ever gave birth and demonstrate that each of them produces enough milk to feed said child. A single counter-example (of which there are many) demonstrates that she's talking rot.

> In your text, you'll have to mark specifically which part are in Japanese and which part are in Chinese and use different font for them. If you don't, the characters look wrong.

Most non-trivial text-rendering systems need to know the language of the text in order to properly render it. This is not only an issue for Japanese/Chinese but also e.g. English/German with different hyphenation rules[0], different rules for ligatures[1] and different rules/preferences for spacing after punctuation[2]. None of these can sensibly be solved by Unicode.

[0] ‘backen’ (to bake) becomes bak-ken when hyphenated at the end of a line, ‘airlock’ can’t be hyphenated at all between c and k.

[1] ‘Schiff’ (ship) should be rendered with a ligature ff, ‘Dampfflut’ (~ steam flow?) shouldn’t. ‘afferent’ probably should have it.

[2] Single space after ‘.’ and ‘,’ in German, whereas French tends to prefer more space after ‘.’.

It's been suggested that this change guarantees that the ads can be louder than the content. After all, from Google's point of view the ads are the important thing that make money.
I would love to see that evidence, since I have plenty of anecdotal evidence that it is bullshit.

And what's even worse, all the people pushing this nonsense do a lot of damage to all the women who cannot produce enough milk, since all it does is make them feel like failures as mothers. Which is not a good state of mind to be in when someone just dumped a new born baby in your lap and basically says "here you go, this human being lives or dies based solely on your actions".
The most important thing is that it teaches you what is and isn't important in life, or at least it did for me. I used to panic when a server or website died at work. For me, now, it's nothing. Of course, it's still urgent and I fix but it actually gets done faster as I'm not stressing about it. The most important thing for me is having healthy and happy children. Work is now a means to that end.

A big thank you for sharing that insight here.
See the comments elsewhere in the thread about HN a a whole gradually changing focus from a more education/opinion site to a news site.

A rule-of-thumb to distinguish the two is that a news article is the kind of thing you read right away, an educational article is something you deliberately bookmark to read later when you have some time to reflect on its content.

The early issues of HN are full of articles that are as valid today as they were then. You may not have minded waiting for them.

It's very rare that you'd need to read the difference between x :+ y and x +: y, or x :: y and x ::: y. All of those give very similar results (a list of x followed by y), so it's good that they look similar. If you know one and not the others, the very fact that they look similar is a big hint that they're doing something similar.

As a fellow Dvorak typer I'm a bit surprised that you've had such a negative experience with it. Therefore I'd like to share my own biased experience.

I'll agree with you on the issues with key-rebinding for gaming and copy/paste becoming more difficult. Going back to typing Azerty/Qwerty becomes a real hurdle and this might be a problem depending on your situation.

But the pain (tendinitis or carpal, I did not check with a doctor) that I experienced after only 2 hours of typing disappeared completely. That being the goal of my change I consider the change a successful one.

I managed to learn Dvorak in 2 months, with the keyboard feeling more natural and logical during the learning period. While it took me years to become proficient with Azerty (the Belgian keyboard-standard). I accelerated my learning process with a simple CLI based typing-trainer.

TL;DR: Dvorak is more difficult in regular life but it can solve pain issues. So I recommend changing to the layout for that purpose.

It's noticeable on almost every track basically as soon as the drums kick in. (About ten seconds into "A Proper Story", for example). It's depressing that this has occurred even on a piece of indie content for which so much care has otherwise been taken— Darren Korb was the sound designer for the game and gave a terrific presentation at GDC 2012.

That is absolutely horrible, sorry you had that experience.

My wife was in the same situation with our first, basically she anatomically did not have enough tissue to generate the volume of milk required.
Luckily we were able to get donor milk and rely on this technology: http://www.lact-aid.com/. Amazingly she was able to build enough tissue so that by our 3rd kid we have not used any donor milk at all.

I would be interested to see if this phenomenon is more prevalent among US based companies. I worked for a company with offices in Cupertino and Cambridge UK and the difference in culture was noticeable. The american office seemed to demand a lot more devotion from their workers, this didn't seem the case with the brits.

There was a distinction for me between coding for somebody and coding for myself. The latter always being more enjoyable. This is why I think so many programmers work on side and open-source projects.

> Testosterone-related differences in aggression in the non-delinquent sample
were studied as well. None were statistically significant. The only difference
manifested was that adolescents with higher testosterone were more likely to
respond more vigorously in response to challenges from teachers and peers.
The vigorous response finding is consistent with our assertion that testosterone
is linked with aggression only when it is part of dominance behavior.

> Using measures that incorporated self, peer and teacher ratings, Tremblay and his
colleagues discovered that testosterone levels at the start of puberty were linked
to social dominance a year later but not to physical aggression. Dominance was
not related to current aggression or aggression over the previous three years.
On the other hand, body mass was a predictor of physical

> Although research provides considerable evidence that testosterone is
associated with dominant behavior, correlation does not prove causation. If
the administration of testosterone was followed by an increase in dominant
behavior, we would have a stronger case for asserting a causal relationship.
Two experiments support the idea that the link is causal. In one study with a
double-blind, randomized, crossover design, young men were given doses of
testosterone or a placebo. Subjects were paired with a fictitious subject and told
that each member of the pair could, by pushing a button, reduce the cash flowing
to the other member. The subject was told that the other individual was reducing
the cash that was flowing to the subject. Subjects receiving testosterone rather
than the placebo pushed the button significantly more times (Kouri, Lukas, Pope
and Oliva 1995). A second study with the same design was conducted with
men aged 20 to 50 years (Pope, Kouri and Hudson 2000). This time testosterone
was administered over a six-week period. Subjects participated in the same
experiment. Results indicated that those who had had the treatment pushed the
button many more times. These studies put us in a much stronger position to
claim that testosterone stimulates dominant behavior.

That's just one study, but there are a lot more.

And, using common sense, how many cultures do you know, where women play team sports, and men don't? Where girl play war and boys play home?

I'm all for allowing to ignore social roles, I'm not good example of stereotypical men myself, but let's not ignore evidence that's all around us. It would be enormously unlikely, that biological differences between sexes, and behavior differences were just accident.

Of course social influences have big part, but they don't explain everything.

And there's a reason that men made games, and women didn't, when both were present at first in programming. I doubt it's just because of social reasons.

Sure. The question is, do the rest of us treat those incidents as mistakes where somebody went over the line and behaved poorly, or do we defend the behaviour and even try to argue that it's a sign of good project management that should be emulated because it 'tells it like it is' and keeps away the 'idiots'? Sadly the latter is a common attitude, as seen in other comments in this thread.

Testmunk Is Hiring Full Stack Engineer
I had a similar beliefs about diamonds and wasn't really sure how to talk about this to my (then) girlfriend. She's very progressive and would not interpret what I was saying as being a cheapskate (I'm the spendy one), but it seemed like the whole 'actual' value / marketing / cartel / theoretical human rights angles were all very rationally convincing, but pale in comparison to the cultural significance and century of visceral marketing. To compete on an emotional level it would mean watching blood diamond movies and/or being exposed to diamond industry scumbags for long periods of time. Not really how I wanted to start discussing a 'symbol of our love', and I didn't really want to be that guy.

So I just stated that I wanted any future theoretical ring to have real significance, not just a purchase. I preferred there to be some history behind it. This opened a door to rework a family heirloom (with a great story) into an engagement ring. It happened to be a diamond, but this process was so much better than diamond shopping that I'm pretty sure if it had been a sapphire it would have done the trick.
A "safe mode" in C++ is completely impossible in practice, because C++ does not have a module system but an automated text copy-and-paste mechanism (the preprocessor). Hence your "strict" mode would refuse to compile any unsafe constructs in your standard C++ library headers, boost headers, Qt headers, libc headers, or any other headers of popular and mature libraries that made you choose the C++ language in the first place. If you can't re-use any code anyway, why not pick a sane language?
Yes, that transcription approach is familiar; here the result of German-Swedish-Finnish equivalency of "ä" is sometimes not so good.

For instance, in skiing competitions, the start lists are for some reason made with transcriptions to ASCII. It's quite okay that Schröder becomes Schroeder, but it is less desirable that Söderström becomes Soederstroem and quite infuriating that Hämäläinen becomes Haemaelaeinen. We'd like it to be Hamalainen, just drop the dots.
>makes it seem like parents who formula-feed are harming their children

Well, if the studies are to be believed, then that's exactly what is happening. I completely understand the "pressure on mothers" argument, but I'm not sure that really flies, especially given the (albeit more subtle these days due to legislation) opposite pressure put on mothers by Nestlé and the rest.

I also find the fact that initial breastfeeding rates vary so wildly by country (from 98% in Sweden though to 57% in the US) interesting, and again more likely to do with commercial and social pressures of the same kind than to do with physical differences between mothers worldwide. While-ever the argument is presented as "Breast is Best" rather than "Artificial is Worst", I suspect this will continue.

Same thing applies to programming interviews I guess. If you know the minutiae off by heart, then you will be able to make decisions and proceed with your coding immediately rather than take a diversion to research the details. Obviously being able to quickly research is also a very useful skill, but I think it's reasonable to expect a certain level of 'memorized knowledge' from a professional programmer.

These issues are complicated to navigate for the midwives as well -- it's hard for them to know exactly who's hoping for more support, and who's really in need of an alternative option.

> More importantly, some mothers just cannot produce enough milk.

I'd guess this would be vanishingly rare, just due to evolutionary pressures over a long period of time, and there are other factors that just make nursing really difficult for many mothers. But I don't know for sure, and nowadays babies that would have simply died, or have killed the mother as well as died, can survive as a matter of course; so that changes the equation as well.

Breastfeeding (the first time around, especially) is quite a bit harder than most people realize -- it's partly a process of teaching the newborn what to do. They may be eager but default to a bad latch, they may be convinced their hand also needs to be in their mouth while they feed, or they may quickly pick up the habit of feeding for 20 seconds then taking a 2 minute nap, or they may decide they can only sleep while latched on. And those are just the problems we saw with our own two daughters!

But it is worth some serious effort (even if just for convenience, once it's working, among other benefits) -- it's just not worth destructive effort, and if it doesn't work out it's not worth remorse.

> She's also on the gifted and talented programme at her school now, so I don't think Formula did her any harm.

Right -- it's just so hard to predict. She might have been breastfed and yet be having difficulty in school as well; there are so very many factors involved, but many parents fix on a few (and torment themselves with guilt, or pride themselves on a choice well-made...).

But there are so many paths to a happy & healthy child who grows up to be a happy & healthy adult, and so many that go elsewhere, and many factors are totally out of our control.

My understanding is that dynamic soaring takes advantage of a cliffside or a ridge to provide upward air current. This project seems to be working on flat ground, so as far as I understand, it's not really using dynamic soaring.

I think it works more like regular stunt and power kites, just relying on the "trim" of the airfoil to produce lift and thrust (and the tether's pull) to make it go upwards and then "fall" down.

Just my €0.02, but i think it's precisely the "new ones" that should be treated carefully. The kernel (or whatever other FOSS project) won't develop itself, so it's purely economically bad strategy to scare off newcomers who might well turn out to be very talented devs. Aside from the economics, it's also simple civility to not shout at people if (you believe) they're idiots.
Absolutely. This is a combination of tongue-in-cheek and a revealing view into his introspective nature.
Humans like loud music, so louder music sounds better and sell more. So, how do you make your music MAXIMUM LOUD? Well, our digital formats have a setting for how loud any given sound is, but you can't just set it to the maximum value because then all sounds in your track will be equally loud. Or can you? Not all parts of a cymbal "phish" is equally loud, so setting it all to max will distort the sound (sacrifice dynamic range), but will consumers really care?

Youtube, by adjusting all tracks to have the same average loudness, is basically saying "to those of you who would give up essential dynamic range, to purchase a little temporary loudness, you deserve neither dynamic range nor loudness"

The hope is that eventually labels will quit sacrificing dynamic range for loudness if all our digital music sources set the average loudness to be the same for all tracks.

For one, static typing is optional in Lisp -- if it's even there at all.

If you want to write maintainable code and catch bugs early, that pretty much rules out dynamically typed languages.
