I don't get the sense they hate compilers at all. The writing describes work they seem to love doing. It's just clickbait.

And it may not have crossed their mind that the clang behavior is a bug after finding a workaround. I'd also assume compilers do things "no mere mortal can fully comprehend on their own".

Clearing up the mix-up here. Children of Time is the first book in the series that centers on a spider civilization while Children of Ruin is about octopus.

I haven't read Children of Ruin yet, but I've consistently heard from people that they enjoyed Children of Time more.

Yep, I missed that the archive link doesn't have video.

Thanks! I didn't realize the static archive was missing the video. These are better than what's on Santon's site.

The article claims an 80% reduction in injections, but they must only be counting the injections prior to egg retrieval. After the 2 weeks of injections before the egg retrieval, there's another 8-10 weeks of intramuscular injections after the embryo transfer.

Still, this is a great development to lessen the entire ordeal for women undergoing IVF.

A well-meaning but frustrated parent might try that move in the moment but not consider what it could mean from their child's perspective. "My parent could leave me" should never be a potential consequence for misbehaving.

They're probably more aware of it because of worse things they've endured like it. A severe example is kicking your kid out of the car and driving off without them. Or packing them a bag and forcing them out of the apartment.

It can also involve deviations in strategy based on the count, particularly with borderline hands.

Right associative! It's just one of the many rites of passage for people working with PHP to get bitten by its left associative ternaries. Naked nested ternaries are deprecated now, but maybe one day, PHP can have right associative ternaries.

Fasting as a healthy person is very different from someone nearing the end of their life. Many people suffering from sickness lose most of their appetite already and have little energy to bring themselves to eat.

What other professions do you have in mind with better ROI?

That's cool to know. It's definitely not what I expected! I made the assumption a markdown-based tool would primarily be used amongst tech workers for tech-related knowledge. All that being said, the cost for a license is nothing compared to other tools I use daily like JetBrains products.

From their licensing: "You need to pay for Obsidian if and only if you use it to contribute, directly or indirectly, to revenue-generating, work-related activities in a company that has two or more people."

I imagine that applies to many of us. How many people are looking to use Obsidian purely for personal use?
