I recall listening fondly to his music as a child. The Elements and New Math stand out in particular.

A few days ago I played them for my children on a whim.

The universe is weird some times.

This is #2 and our 3 year old sleeps through the night almost every night now!

We’ve been disruptive to the little one’s sleep so far due to some home renovations causing a lack of consistency for just about her whole life. I’m confident we will figure it out eventually.

Sort of along the lines of sleeping as a group, I theorize that some of the (modern) human datapoints are due to the gradual isolation of humanity combined with the sleeplessness that comes with the first few years of child rearing.

Historically, child rearing was supported by a tribe of people. Nowadays, we have isolated ourselves to the point of one or two parents and maybe a grandparent or two. Babies can take years to get to consistently sleep through the night. So we have taught ourselves to be more “self sufficient” and just deal with it.

Or maybe I just think this because my 6 month old woke up four times last night and I’m losing my mind.

I agree. I think the article takes a simplistic view of the use cases in an effort to make the post consumable but in doing so, misses some of the point behind the syntax.

I just clicked the “next page” link and it looked to start loading a new content in the same style as the one I was on, and then redirected to GitHub. Was just a little jarring UX.

Your “get started” page didn’t load for me, and your dev docs did some redirect to GitHub after I clicked “Python”.

Love the intent though.

Isn't this the Matrix? I suppose fighting climate change is a good stand-in for deadly AI.

Of course! It's the way users can alert us to issues and provide feedback. That's why I feel stuck in the middle -- overwhelmed from the incoming issues and unable to move the needle by myself or with whatever support were allocated from corporate.

My experience is clearly different from the author's, who seems to have complaints about solo project maintenance. I just wanted to share my perspective.

If only it was that simple. But obviously the corporation has an incentive in open source as most do. There is pressure to present as open but internally the priority is not on reported issues, unless they are security related or something is broken.

Is there a decent alternative for open source projects?

As a maintainer for an open source repo that is "owned" by a big corporation I feel this but on both ends. I empathize with reporters and I would love to be able to help them all (when sufficiently detailed reports come in) but the reality is that simply ingesting the issue and queueing for prioritization still means it'll likely sit for many months before someone gets to it. I suppose my point is that whether you're running an open source repo for a personal project or for a corporation, the problems persist.

I wish more people saw documentation and source code as a gift rather than cause for free, on-demand support.

Perhaps people should preface everything with "in my opinion"...

Jeez.
