So what? Javascript is like 20 years old but there is definitely hype for Lisp now.

by mac_was 7y ago
I can see Lisp is the ‘new’ React. Two years ago there were loads of articles about React, prior to that it was just Javascript. I can see people got enough of Javascript.

Nope the person confusing communism and socialism is the person I am replying to hence my usage of word socialism.

That is funny looking at history where it actually never worked, you can have starving people in North Korea vs China which is a not socilism anymore from market perspective... I come from a post-socialist country, and when growing up in th

I waited all my life to be interrupted every 10 minutes... jokes aside , this is a bit pointless, at least from a dev perspective, when you are finally in the zone to let a tool constantly interrupt

Maybe just most women aren’t interested in STEM, like most men aren’t interested in hairdressing? Those who are, both men and women, can get jobs as I see women being very good programmers and men being very good hair dressers

Did you read the article at all? A game says it is for 3 years old and above and it uses trickery to manipulate a 5 year old into thinking that real money is just game coins. How are you supposed to control that?

Exactly I don't want to in couple years time regret that I've missed time with my kids! Looks like I need to wait a bit and in the meantime focus on my kids :-)

I wonder, did you start your YC startup when your kids were little?

by mac_was 7y ago
Will definitely try waking up earlier but when the little one is older so I do not wake up several times during the night when she cries for food. I managed to do it just before she was born and absolutely loved the quiet house and possibil

That is a wise advise! I do not want to cause damage to our relationship as well and struggling with my interests and hobbies as most times choose wife and kids than my own interests.

And 4 hours it is as the young one wakes up around 12 for a feed. A hard bed time is a good start but as you say it takes an hour or more sometimes

Oh definitely! It is not that I do not enjoy spending time and playing with them, it is the contrary to be honest.

I wosh I had time to learn new languages as I used to... but with 2 kids, one being 4 months it is nearly impossible. How do others devs hungry for knowledge deal with situations like this one?

“It’s worth noting how much easier it is to successfully solve ReCAPTCHAs when the user is logged into their Google account”. Well to me it makes absolute sense as Google knows that the logged in user is a human. This article is just follo
