Travel by land/sea is WAY more expensive and WAAAAAY more time-consuming than flying. If you can’t deal with a relatively short flight where there’s a chance that a child might make some noise, I’d recommend YOU take the land or sea route. Much more comfortable, please enjoy.

What the hell? You don’t know me or my kids, why are you coming at me about my parenting? You’re talking out of your ass about raising kids. They don’t go straight from babies to adults, there is a lot of in-between, trial-and-error. Sometimes they cry, in public even (gasp), and we handle it. Sometimes they misbehave and we handle it. They’re not going to learn anything by being locked away from society. And if being out in public with other people who might have children with them is so hard for you, maybe you should order in and watch Netflix.

You’re assuming a lot about a person’s situation who would be traveling internationally with a baby. They may not have a choice. In general, babies and their parents have as much right to exist in public as you do. Of course the courteous thing to do when your child is being disruptive is to try and calm them or remove them from the situation, but that’s not always possible. I’ve gone into a restaurant with a very happy baby that only turns sour after the food is ordered. All you can do sometimes is just try to mitigate it until you can get your food in to-go boxes and get out. Also worth noting that the main issue with flying for babies is the pressure change and not being able to deal with it. People will often yawn or chew gum to relieve it, and for babies you can give them a bottle or something chewy (depending on age) and it does the same thing.

“Sorry, it’s a two week voyage. Hope you brought plenty of diapers.”

This is why I use a bidet

Still pronounced “Senner Siddee”. The T is silent, so you can really put it anywhere.

Legumes, actually.

They also both had sons named George.

Well not entirely different. They’re both named George.

It is actually true, just the portrait they’ve chosen for the article is highly stylized and didn’t really look like him.

We must all come together or we will all come separately.

No, this is Patrick.

Some of this is probably just getting to know your tools. Learn the language, look at others’ code and interrogate what they did and why. The higher-order functions (scary-sounding term, but they’re not actually scary) you mentioned are useful, go learn them and use them.

Some of it might also be (I haven’t seen your code) getting a better understanding of the problem you’re trying to solve. Figure out what all the separate pieces you need are, and then break those pieces into their pieces and so on, until you’ve got simple, self-contained chunks of functionality that you can give simple names to. Some of those might be functions, or you may find that they’re simple enough that they don’t need to be. Refactor and think about how to make the problem simpler. I think a lot of it is just staring at your work and dreaming of ways the make it simpler and easier to read.

If you really want to optimize for performance, that can come later once you really have a feel for it.

I don’t think that’s how phantom limbs work.

What do you do with the other 3/4 of an apple?

I got super sick from this. It probably didn’t help that I was trying soothe my upset stomach with more peanut butter.

Not rude. Per the article, this is North Korea’s response to groups in South Korea sending balloons with propaganda leaflets and stuff (unsolicited care packages, basically) north. It seems they feel the south isn’t doing enough to prevent these.

It seems more childish than diabolical, but I would do the same probably as a last resort. Like throwing somebody’s McDonald’s bag back into their car.

Is this sarcasm? They’re TPing each other’s houses.

There’s plenty of heavy jazz. Maybe try some late Coltrane or Peter Brötzmann. Tigran Hamasyan brings the djent influence, as well.

It’s a joke site. Click anywhere on the page. It used to play music, but I don’t know if it still does.
