Co-sleeping in an attached cot is encouraged in some European countries AFAIK. And I know families that have used the same bed; even we did that on some days, it can be quite nice :-) It’s important to never drink alcohol or go to bed impai

If it doesn’t work then it doesn’t work, ok, use formula. But if those sacrifices are things like being tired, sore breasts, etc there are normal and there are solutions available.

The diving in your story is more like working on a computer than like programming itself. Otherwise the claim would be that we’re paid 0 to program which is easily disproven. I think many people are overthinking this and coming up with a pr

There are cots which attach to the parent’s bed and special blouses which allow for easy breastfeeding without undressing. The whole process is as simple as dragging the baby over, taking one breast out and bringing them near to it. The bab

The WHO and any local health org worth its salt cares. Parents that want the best for their baby do. The more appropriate question is who wants to ignore the medical consensus and why. Of course some women can’t breastfeed and they deserve

These discussions happen when people don’t give consideration to the fact that reliability is an architectural concern and error handling is part of that. There’s certainly a minimum of error handling that has to be done in order for code t

This catch and ignore seems to be straight out of the (sadly not real) Visual Basic design patterns book :-)

In C++ for example there’s an exception hierarchy and several classes of errors similar to what you enumerated, so the handler might catch a specific exception as a more generic one. There’s also … which catches all exceptions. This is fine

The father can do everything except breastfeeding, so there’s no reason (except illness) to divide labour on exactly the thing that evolution built the mother to do.

The idea of reaching mastery at anything within a year is highly dubious.

Christ what an embarassing message. Here’s a quote from Galeotti about modern Russia to help get you out of the dark place you’re in: “According to some more hostile foreign commentators, Russia is near enough an earthly Mordor, North Korea

Syria’s far away from Europe and in reality no refugees from there have the right to protection from Europe. The EU being the moral superpower that it is helped them anyway, so I think it deserves praise, not criticism. Well, at least deser

I find these accusations quite interesting. There’s 150+ comments, most thoroughly following what’s the official EU/US stance and there’s probably less than 5 people here slightly diverging from that, without even supporting Russia. An

With the amount of online and offline inquisitors ready to pounce at the slightest divergence from the official EU and US party line, those trolls and nerds stand no chance. Just like truth, neutrality, free speech, etc don’t either.

To be fair, if somebody warned me of something for 40 years and that something would not happen, I’d be tempted to dismiss such warnings.

My car has the acoustic/visual warning, but I have to enable it manually. It’s less useful than one would think… I basically only turn it on in cities where the limit is 30km/h, which was typically enacted to reduce noise or pollu

The fact that it persisted for decades and increased in capacity is proof that it benefited Germany and the other European countries. And you’ve noticed yourself that the benefits accrued in the EU and the costs were incurred in Ukraine. Bu

Theoretically you’re right. Practically you’re not though, because as history attests, the USSR dissolved peacefully and thorough all the ups and downs the economic relationship survived. This is perhaps why the warnings from the US were ig

Having a relationship based on mutually beneficial economic exchanges is an important reason why one would treat their economic partner nicely. It’s perhaps not the reason, but it is a reason. Given how peacefully it collapsed and the h

Why does everyone attribute to deception what could just as easily be attributed to this relationship being beneficial for Germany (and a lot of other EU countries which are conveniently omitted from this discussion)? Energy is at the core

Dependence on the Soviet Union and later Russia worked for 50 years. This partnership, which was being undermined by the US from the beginning, is attributed to establishing a basis for cooperation between the Soviet Union and Western Europ

It seems unlikely that the US would allow two of its satellites to fight each-other.

Most countries have better things to do than perpetually going to war and meddling in the affairs of other countries. So on the contrary, there is no reason - inherent or otherwise - why Western Europe would get at all involved in this war.

I agree with the other poster saying that learning programming languages doesn’t make you a better coder, just as learning natural languages doesn’t make you a better communicator. It’s much more efficient to pick a flexible programming lan

That’s a heuristic which like all heuristics will fail to work in some cases. This is one of them - we’ve never had private hostile organizations with immense budgets trying to manipulate and help themselves to the private information of re

Germany and EE (which btw does not include Russia) are economical allies first and foremost, but have different geopolitical concerns and goals. Although here we have to differentiate, because Romania and Bulgaria seem to mind their own bus

This would be a good plan if Eastern Europe were less corrupt than Western Europe. It’s not and WE itself is on a downward path.

Eastern Europe and the US aren’t and weren’t prophetic. Yes, it made total sense to secure alternative energy sources, but nobody predicted this war, unless you want to call those that were always saying that Russia will attack X,Y,Z prop

Germany and the EU are on a collision course with reality. In the minds of EU politicians, it’s a moral imperative to punish Russia, but they apparently didn’t stop to consider that Russia can punish back. Nor did they actually form a plan
