I've been using a Lenovo Carbon X1 4th Gen with Ubuntu installed for the last 5+ years and love it. My next laptop will almost certainly be another X1 Carbon.

I think he probably means middle childhood ages not "middle aged" in the normal sense of the phrase.

I really don't think Neil Young cares about lost Spotify revenue at all. He's already wealthy and at 76 years old and this is more about publicity for something he believes in.

Neil Young has sold over 75 million records and is likely wealthy beyond most peoples dream. He probably doesn't care a lick about lost Spotify revenue and "cashing in" in is likely raising awareness for a cause he believes

"Did Young really think that Spotify would drop Rogan over him?" I don't want to speak for Neil Young, but I imagine he knew for certain Spotify would choose Rogan. But there's no such thing as bad press right? He knew

"Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End" was the most impactful book I read this year. It explores dying and illness and how we can treat the terminally ill and dying better and more compassionately.

You've likely already read it at this point, but "Endurance: Shackletons Incredible Voyage" by Lansing is an amazing survival story.

Doesn't removing the risk from debtees still encourage reckless investing/lending? edit: apparently littlestymaar and I are operating on the same wavelength this morning.

Py2exe/pyinstaller is what I've always done as well. It works really well for distributing Python apps on Windows in my experience. Have been using that combo for many years now and while it's not perfect it is still the bes

"This matters because what's more interesting is the general case, not the exceptions." That may be true, but in this case we were specifically discussing an exception where gender was not relevant.

He specifically said that it is likely impossible if both parents are working normal hours. So if there is one parent looking after the kids and the other parent is still being interrupted constantly then I don't think it's unrea

"b- someone in the couple is a stay at home parent (usually the mother) who watches the children. " Also, these comments about "mother" are irksome to me since it feels like you're accusing me (or OP) of implying so

I don't really understand this POV. If you have a trusted partner looking after your child, then the situation should be (at worst) no different than if your child was away at school or daycare right?

The boundary that the OP needs to enforce is actually with the caregiver more than the children (although even young children are capable of learning and respecting boundaries). The caregiver needs to buy into the fact that it's benef

I'm not sure why, but this feels like an accusatory response and uncharitable take on their statement. Establishing boundaries like "don't interrupt the person who's working" needs to be a discussion that happens be

Guido is no longer the BDF and spoke fairly positively about this change in the mailing list thread[1]. "To be clear, Sam’s basic approach is a bit slower for single-threaded code, and he admits that. But to sweeten the pot he has also

Roughly 0% of Windows users have Python installed.

At least for me after FF updates itself it won't let you open a new tab or anything until it restarts. According to this Reddit post this is due to it being updated by the package manger so maybe it's a Linux only issue?: https:&
