Raising kids is no special incredibly demanding mission, it's the normal thing people do in their adult life. It includes some responsibilities but no sacrifice. Becoming parent is not like entering the cloitre to become a monk for lif

By getting drunk I didn't mean getting drunk at noon with kids around, I did mean go out with friends in the bar sometimes. And if you sacrifice your life to your kids you're putting a potential culpability on their shoulders, and

I think exactly the opposite. Education is the only important thing, and the genes are a minor thing. After all with enough water one can grow nice vegetation on almost any kind of soil.

Yes, good advices. I'll add this most important one: don't believe you owe your kids your life. Continue to see friends and get drunk if it's something you do now. If you can't bear stupid cartoons or books (and who does

I thought it was already clear that we come from some cells, a storm and some luck, and that we're going nowhere. We're on our own, and I bet no science or discoveries will change this.

What's easy to predict, though, is who will benefit from the burst: Chinese big four will likely be the winners. (Protected on their back by the gov, they also have the lucrative commerce in their hands, and they'll harvest all th

Would it be so different with a good friend? If there if someone you are attached to, and if this someone is heading full steam toward a cliff or a dead end, you'll tell them, no? Or do whatever you can to help them. Or maybe you belie

I thought about using git notes for this and didn't how it is better than adding issues, comments and wiki inside the repo itself. We are used to put documentation and tests alongside the code in our repo, why not add wiki and issues?

I don't know for Chinese gov but I know for sure that Chinese families are not used to buy expensive things with money they don't have, so no, I don't agree: China as a whole has a lot of real money in the pockets.

I have been living in China for ten years now, and every time I go to some forgotten fourth tier city or to remote suburbs, I am amazed that so many people live there in a relative harmony and strangers and foreigner can walk around without

I wonder if the premices are correct here. For me at least, if I am listening to, say, Kraftwerk, a good suggestion for next artist to listen to is not necessarily the artists most people who like Kraftwerk like. Kraftwerk is very old techn

Another related problem is how to auto generate playlists. I tried it with many acoustic metrics and found nothing working well for my taste. I want something that plays my music the way a good generalist radio would play it. Following a ge

Why don't they eat them? Deer meat is excellent, much better than this industrial red and humid plastic sold as beef in the U.S. In France I heard boars are too many, and destroy the crops. Let's make a new trend in haute cuisine:
