erwan , 2 months ago to Technology in Google layoffs: Sundar Pichai-led company fires entire Python team for ‘cheaper labour’

You get that working for Google in Bay Area if you're senior, no matter the language.

Those guys were participating in Python itself, maintaining the Python tooling for the whole company, served as a help desk for everything Python... Yeah I'm pretty sure they had a big salary.

It's not your little "glue libraries together" Python coding.

I know it sucks to have to discard some manufacturers because of their poor Linux support but that's where we are.

I prefer to pick manufacturers that support Linux than having to go back to Windows.

The problem with this approach is that you might be cutting off your kids from their friends.

Smartphone messaging apps are the way kids communicate nowadays, and if your kid is not in the group chat he/she is isolated.

The vast majority of games already run on Linux, even without Linux binaries.

erwan , 2 months ago to Technology in What is screen time doing to children? Demands grow to restrict young people’s access to phones and social media.

That's the problem that everyone shouting "parents need to parent better" here is ignoring.

If you cut off access to the group chat, her friends are not going to call her daily on your landline (that maybe you don't have) to exchange gossips. What will happen is that she'll be out of the loop, isolated from the group. When they're planning an afternoon out they might forget to tell her.

You can't make your kids live in a 90's bubble, because when we were kids in the 90's we had friends living like us. Cut off your kid from messenging and you cut them from their friends and isolate to them from their age class.

That's absolutely not good for them, and it's not good parenting.

(Not talking about you comment parent BTW, your parenting is fine, I'm just responding to your comment to address all those saying it's just parents' fault)

The problem is those family sets the standard for everyone.
