    Lol, people can’t afford to have kids by 30.

    I can guarantee you

    1. People have kids whether they can afford them or not
    2. Different levels of social integration lead to different support structures for child-rearing which leads to different life stages when people can/do have kids at different financial points.

  • help me. I am stuck working in SDET and my job makes me do a cert every 6 months that’s “no code” and I need to transition to writing code.

    I’ve been SDET since 2013, in c# and java. I am so fucking sick of selenium and getting manual testing dumped on my lap. I led a test team for a fortune 500 company as a contractor for a project. I can also program in the useless salesforce stack (apex, LWC).

    I am the sole breadwinner for my household. I have no fucking idea what to do.

    Let’s say she wants to play with crayons when it’s time to eat. If she starts throwing a tantrum, I lie her down on the ground and don’t pay attention to her, except to say “we will hug and go get your fruit when you are calm”. When the tantrum is finished, I ask her “are you calm?” and if she says yes, we hug, I clean her up, and give her the fruit.

    Until she calms down, I don’t pay attention to her, except to re-iterate that she will have more stiumulus once she is calm.

    I looked it up because your comment prompted me, and you know what, while it’s still not MC Escher, he’s made a lot of improvements from the 00s/10s.

    It’s still not very original, but at least he’s pushing his ideas further and using a mixture of techniques and achieving higher fidelity images.





  • well, when you know how to pronounce a word, or are told a word through speech, you are familiar with it as a sound. being able to take characters and turn them into sounds is a transformative process that has rules and such, yes, but when they are encoded into sounds, trying to get them into text doesn’t necesarily have the same amount of information. The distinction between c,s , k and q just turn into s and k sounds, which need to be sorted into c,s,k and q letters.

    Quota and Cualquier have data loss. you need to choose which letter the K sound turns into, and the rules are gone at that point.

    Otherwise you would never need a dictionary to spell things, because it would be orthographically perfect. If you knew how a word sounded, it would be a 1 to 1 mapping.

    There are non-romance languages that work like this, turkish, germanic languages, and I assume, Indonesian and Malay. Ironically, despite being the source of romance languages none of them (maybe romanian?) are able to have orthographic consistency.




  • Just because you can pronounce s and c the same and c and k the same doesn’t make it bad orthography.

    yes it does

    Source : Turkish speaker.

    EDIT : It’s not just s c and k, q also gets involved. LL and Y and some variations having J and G enter into it, the constant H letters that don’t get pronounced, etc etc.

    No romance language can say anything about being “regular” from an orthographic sense.
