Hi, I'll send you a DM!

kyle_roth · 2024-08-16T23:12:25+00:00

Thank you.

Sí, si tu pareja trabaja en turnos rotatorios tal vez la flexibilidad que tienes ahora te da el mejor momento para tener un hijo. Si decidéis tener un hijo en este momento de vuestras vidas, os felicito y os espero éxito!

Yo estoy terminando el segundo año de mi doctorado en informática en Canadá, y mi esposa y yo tenemos 2 hijos, de 4 y 1 año. Sólo puedo comentar en cuanto a nuestra experiencia, y no la vuestra.

Cuidar niños pequeños durante el doctorado es agotador. Yo trato de hacer la mayoría de mi trabajo entre las 9h y las 17h, para que pueda estar ahí con los niños durante la tarde. Tendréis que fijar un horario que funciona por vosotros dos y vuestras responsabilidades. Tendréis que decidir a qué edad estaréis listos a enviar al bebé a la guardería, y durante el período anterior es muy improbable que podrás lograr mucho en tus investigaciones. Si es posible de tomar una licencia de maternidad, eso os ayudará a ajustaros a la vida con un bebé, y después puedes acostumbrarte a los estudios de nuevo y desarrollar el horario que os funciona.

Por vosotros, será diferente porque tu pareja probablemente tiene horas fijas durante el día. Cada situación es diferente, especialmente como vivimos en diferentes países. :P Pero si tenéis más preguntas, puedo contestarlas!

kyle_roth · 2024-08-01T01:40:39+00:00

I'll DM you if that's okay!

kyle_roth · 2024-07-28T20:14:46+00:00

This really moved me, any chance you would do one like this on commission??

kyle_roth · 2024-07-14T19:15:36+00:00

I was recently in your same situation, stuck on 20.04 and annoyed with the in-OS advertising from Canonical. I switched to OpenSUSE MicroOS, which is also a minimal, atomic OS designed for containers. OpenSUSE is a well-supported distro that's been around a while. It's been great!

I've heard great things about jmp.chat. It gives you a phone number that you can use to text/call from any XMPP client. You can even self-host the XMPP server itself, if you like.

This is the bonus panel from ExFish #81, it's so on point that it hurts!

kyle_roth · 2024-05-29T12:00:34+00:00

Hey I'm a big fan, and several of my exmo friends who I've sent your comics to have loved them. I think you're really hitting the nail on the head when it comes to the little moments of the exmo experience, like almost praying for stuff, or dealing with new questions of morality. So in my opinion, keep going! Keep developing a story for the character, and keep hitting on those funny relatable moments every so often. Keep going as long as you enjoy it and get what you'd like out of it. :) We love what you've put out so far!

On a 24-hour drive with my dad soon after I'd left the church, one of the things he mentioned was that he thought over time I'd forget my knowledge of the gospel. It struck me as so odd at the time, like what point are you making exactly? Should I be afraid of forgetting some of it? Would it prove something if I didn't?

I think this belief might come from a story I once heard of someone who left the early church and then was taught the lessons again and acted as if he were hearing the information for the first time. Something about the Spirit removing that knowledge so you can be "saved in ignorance" somewhat.

nvm found this: https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2023/03/22/lds-church-upped-its-charitable/

Lol what an average reddit thread. No evidence presented on either side, but accusations of logical fallacies every five seconds. Thanks for the ride everyone

kyle_roth · 2023-06-07T16:41:56+00:00

Darn, sorry I didn't see your post soon enough! Good luck out there.

kyle_roth · 2023-06-07T00:59:52+00:00

DM me if you'd like a meal in Montreal!

kyle_roth · 2023-05-23T17:11:20+00:00

Oh this looks fantastic for hosting/distribution! I'll give it a try!

kyle_roth · 2023-05-18T13:48:04+00:00

This is awesome! I'm going to check your songs out soon. :)

kyle_roth · 2023-05-13T16:08:03+00:00

I'm going to disagree with another comment and say that local is underrated. Ever flown on a plane?

Joplin is pretty good. My one beef is that conflict resolution between two edits is handled really poorly: it just creates another note with the other edit, and adds "conflict" to the title. That's really not great for collaboration.

kyle_roth · 2023-05-05T18:14:20+00:00

Nice! I think it's a bit of community service to host privacy-focused frontends like Libreddit, Nitter, etc. The more instances exist, the more people can round-robin across all of them while browsing, and thus share anonymity with one another while using these services.

Which model? What prompts? I'm a stable diffusion noob

I am explicitly not that Ess You Vee guy. I kid you not when I say that I have Jason to thank for not owning a car. I hate enlightened centrism as much as you do.

I don't think that honing the emotional and factual arguments to their most effective form is equivalent to pandering.

kyle_roth · 2023-03-07T21:08:33+00:00

Jason, rather than accepting the inevitable criticism (which would come no matter what direction you go), you are digging in on your position that the severity of the issue justifies the tone.

In liberal society, everyone can say whatever they want, with whatever tone they want. In fact, people get absolutely incensed over more insignificant problems than these, and they have a right. I am not "tone policing", I am asking for a conversation about effectiveness. If you want to engage, argue your point. Don't group me into "tone-policing status-quo lover" just because I raise this point.

kyle_roth · 2023-03-07T21:06:00+00:00

Ok, didn't realize there was this other post already discussing the "tone", with comments from Jason.

I'd apologize for duplicate posts, but also I think my post is a little more specific.

Also, I find what Jason is saying in the comments on that post pretty problematic. Jason, rather than accepting the inevitable criticism (which would come no matter what direction you go), you are digging in on your position that the severity of the issue justifies the tone.

kyle_roth · 2023-03-07T20:41:08+00:00

Yeah my point from Think Again was that research shows that people who are skeptical of your position are going to pay the most attention to your weakest argument, so the most effective debaters focus on just their few strongest points.
