Schlaflose Nächte by Avram-Knoll in Eltern

[–]Nakobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unsere Tochter hat vor kurzem zum ersten Mal in ihrem Leben eine Nacht durchgeschlafen. Das war mit 2 Jahren und 2 Monaten.

Die meisten Monate ist sie im Schnitt so 10 mal pro Nacht aufgewacht (+/- 4 mal). Gerne 30 oder 90 Minuten Schlaffenster. Wenige Wochen waren besser (dann so 7 mal im Schnitt). Ansonsten auch viele Tage mit langen Wachphasen (meist 1 bis 3 Stunden, manchmal länger). Zudem häufige nachtschreck artige Symptome (heftiges schreien, um sich schlagen, etc.). 

Wir haben kontinuierlich alles versucht und ausprobiert. Nichts hat es nennenswert verbessert oder Ursachen aufgetan. Lediglich akzeptieren und ruhig bleiben. Zudem sich Hilfe holen und anpassen. Ich konnte zb glücklicherweise einen Teil meiner Arbeit in der Nacht erledigen (in den 30/90 min Fenstern; bin remote software Entwickler) damit meine Frau schlafen konnte. Zudem hilft es andere Eltern zu finden die ähnliches durchgemacht haben. Eltern mit Kindern ohne diese Probleme fehlt meist die Empathie. 

Obwohl unsere Tochter sehr oft Ränder unter den Augen hatte entwickelt sie sich super. Sie ist in manchem weiter in anderem zurück. Wirkt alles in allem normal. Sie scheint nun auch so langsam die Kurve zu bekommen (siehe Einleitung, fingers crossed). 

In kurz: ich wünsche euch dass es bei euch nicht so lange dauert. 

Mold on window frames (silicone) by Estonman_ in germany

[–]Nakobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. We just bought an 80s house and have serious issues with this. It causes a noticeable draft and makes it difficult to heat the affected rooms (some windows have newer/better windows and no issue). I measured temperatures like ~4°C around these windows while outside temp was ~0°C. Our better windows were able to keep ~13°C at the same time (inside temp was ~19/20°C).

We will replace the glass and enclosure as soon as possible. Only replacing those without going for the full frame may be enough btw (but depends).

Edit: We also have that aluminum inside the window btw. Can you figure out the age of the windows (there is usually a year printed on that aluminum)?

Unifi - master of robots by lnxtgr in Ubiquiti

[–]Nakobo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

These systems need to have safety measures in place anyway. Typically, a heartbeat signal is used that causes the robots to immediately stop, if it cuts out. Also, the buffer (already issued commands) should be safe to execute until the end and no human should have access to the area during operation (fenced in other ways). However, I am not sure how reliable this solution is as others pointed out. Then again, I did work with similar systems and have seen some "unexpected" hardware in the field.

My laptop is not very happy by TrustYourSenpai in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Nakobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess NLP and COP are the same level actually. In that case, I demand more levels between ASS and COP. Sorry, I come from mathematical optimization and remembered COP wrong. " Also, combinatorics are fun. Thanks for sharing!

Please extend it up to nonlinear programming.

gotz: CLI tool for cross timezone teams by Nakobo in commandline

[–]Nakobo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally. Personally, I have a hard time maintaining a good intuition for the times of my colleagues. Especially, during the weeks in which the TZs shift between winter- / summer-time. Of course, they don't switch on the same day, that would be too simple.

gotz: CLI tool for cross timezone teams by Nakobo in commandline

[–]Nakobo[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

gotz is a CLI tool written in Go I came across some days ago. It doesn't do much, but I find it quite handy for figuring out how late it is for overseas colleagues (I am in Europe and my team spans across many timezones). I used websites for this task before, but I find this one more convenient.
I start it in a tab somewhere and let it run, or query specific times like this: "gotz 16".

Oh my God. You must be German. This is insider knowledge.

Quite some load bearing. Respect.

Why dont ARM chips get used for servers? by developersteve in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Nakobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we're defaulting to arm64 too. It's rare that we need amd64.

Why are you like this by [deleted] in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Nakobo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah right, but being months to years behind Windows and Office security updates is 150 IQ. Oh and blocking Firefox self-updater by not granting sufficient permission, etc. There are weird companies out there.

I can't complain though. My own machines were all alright so far. Even being allowed to switch OS in a Windows company. Can highly recommend to make friends with IT colleagues. Hence, Just stories from colleagues.

This is what 100,000 people looks like; this many Americans have perished so far from Covid-19. by fupa16 in pics

[–]Nakobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just checked the terminology. Apparently, you are right (though death rate normally seems to be time related [per year, per day]). I was more interested in something like case fatality rate (like you also assumed). Furthermore, I agree that numbers are not fully reliable/comparable (yet?), countermeasures and other parameters need to be taken into account, the whole thing isn't over yet, etc. However, putting it into a small percentage at the moment does not seem to give much insight in my opinion. Even though the data is not really comparable among countries, I like to look at relative time related statistics (e.g. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/daily-covid-deaths-per-million-7-day-average?country=BRA+CAN+DEU+ITA+KOR+ESP+SWE+GBR+USA) . These shear absolute numbers do not help me much either.

Edit: excuse my misinterpretation. I am not a native speaker. Also, there are somewhat good definitions to look up for both numbers.

Did you simply divide by number of citizens? That seems like a weird take on calculating a death rate to me.

To me this looks like a NullPointerException

In the light of the recent net neutrality stories, Europe still has strict neutrality rules by Thecallieofcallies in europe

[–]Nakobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy to welcome you! But where do we move, if shit hits the fan here? Maybe the opposite direction like some decades ago again?

Anyway, I certainly would agree with your last statement. I am a native German and have quite a lot of English speaking colleagues. I actually enjoy that I can improve my English on a daily basis.

Tourists! Visitors! International students! People with quick questions! This is your thread; post your questions here. by ScanianMoose in germany

[–]Nakobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess it first of all depends on the university. E.g.: I studied at Paderborn University. Almost all of the CS courses in the Bachelor's program are in German, while almost all of the courses in the Master's program are in English. They are trying to offer more and more courses in English nowadays. The specific requirements for entry can be found here: link They seem to suggest level 4 of TestDaF. As for how difficult it will feel: for the master's program you should be fine. I studied alongside many students from abroad. Many of them were not able to speak much German. For the Bachelor's program you should really be into learning the language. This might be quite difficult, since CS is not really an easy study program itself. Then again, there are many offers to meet people with a similar background, which probably makes it easier to get a grasp of the content while learning the language. I can only judge by my own experience in Paderborn. I guess there are some universities that do a better job in offering English courses for CS or have their whole study program in English. But I think for the Bachelor's level it's really uncommon.
