  • Irreligious people, what's it like having kids when your parents are religious?

    Jump

  • If you want to entertain having kids, you need to be ready for a radical shift in your life priorities. Your kids will take priority over just about everything -- often even yourself. They'll take priority over your parents entirely, let alone your personal relationship with them.

    First, are the practical and logistical aspects of your life at all dependent on your parents? I.e. are you fully independent? You will need to be and then some, you're going to entertain having kids.

    Once you're fully independent and additionally have resources to spare (time, effort, money, space, etc, usually b/c you're with a partner you can trust and rely on), then choosing to have kids means starting your own family -- not your parents' family.

    If the grandparents are supportive and helpful, that's great! They're extremely welcome to contribute to your kids' lives (and lighten some of your parenting load!)

    However, if they're negatively impacting you or esp your kids, then they can lose that privilege. Again, your priority will be your kids. If this is a real concern for you, you'll need to factor it into your "ready to have a kid" considerations.

  • Bad abstraction is worse than no abstraction

    If the code is going to poorly organized, I'd prefer it to just be one single gigantic standalone script than some wrong and misleading arrangement of objects or functions that adds more complexity than they solve

  • If people were really smart, particularly in the USA, What do you think they'd stop doing by now?

    Jump

  • That depends, people can be smart but malicious, non-coorperative, or selfish.

    The prisoner's dilemma shows that there are systems where individually, the "smart" individual thing to do is globally non-optimal.

    Even smartness and altruism alone isn't enough. Medical professionals are smart and out to help others, but any ER doc/nurse will tell you they have limited trust in their patients (rightly so in the real world).

    Does "everyone is smart" also include both "altruism and cooperative trust in others"?

  • "never see addressed"? What do you think currently happens in (real, non-hypothetical) cities with good bike infrastructure?

    Oh look, emergency vehicles work even better on bike infrastructure than on car infrastructure

    Bicylists and pedestrians can't hard block a firetruck the way car traffic can

  • inheritance to avoid code duplication

    What no, inheritance is not for code sharing

    Sound bite aside, inheritance is a higher level concept. That it "shares code" is one of several effects.

    The simple, plain, decoupled way to share code is the humble function call, i.e. static method in certain langs.

  • TIFU by not using objects in my object-oriented programming coursework

    Jump

  • If you used good objects, you'll only have to make the change in one place

    IMO that's generally a retroactive statement because in practice have to be lucky for that to be true. An abstraction along one dimension -- even a good one, will limit flexibility in some other dimension.

    Occasionally, everything comes into alignment and an opportunity appears to reliably-ish predict the correct abstraction the future will need.

    Most every other time, you're better off avoiding the possibility of the really costly bad abstraction by resisting the urge to abstract preemptively.

  • Striking New York Times tech workers ask people not to play Wordle or other NYT games

  • How does playing the game bring revenue? Ads?

    Also, I would think that the business would be in a tougher situation if game popularity increased while tech workers weren't around to maintain it

  • It's the difference between knowing you'll grow and graduate together with your classmates vs knowing you're only going to see them for that one month before you move away.

    Jump

  • Distributing power across a group of communities over the same topic (e.g. like seats in a congress/parliament) is a nice thought.

    However, my second thought was how vulnerable that is in a fediverse. To continue the analogy, an adversary could create new states (server/communities) of arbitrary population (accounts) at will.

  • I've often been able to alias drun='docker compose run --rm --build' and simplify down to:

    Should be able to encode all those wayward args into docker-compose.yml or Dockerfile and only use vanilla docker commands -- that's the whole point of containerization

  • How would you teach digital literacy to 13-18 year old students?

    Jump

  • I think your ideas are too non-practical/specialized/advanced/low-level for your stated goal of 'digital literacy". They read more like college intro/followup course material and are too esoteric to be readily absorbed, esp by generic teenagers, even if they've self-selected to be "lightly interested".
