Is Sleep Training Harmful?
  • When my partner and I started discussing sleep training, we were wondering whether it was a neutral choice for our son (like using formula or a pacifier)

    What a strange thing to say. Both have been shown to have a number of disadvantages.

    The fact that there's not a lot of data supporting the notion of sleep training being harmful is interesting, but still: What a way to start an article about scientific thinking.

  • Chamberlain shuts off access to MyQ’s APIs, breaking smart home integrations
  • Companies should be held accountable for bullshit like that.

    My idea goes like this: In order to be able to sell some device you need to deposit its source code and the sources for all updates with the proper authorities.

    If you then don't provide updates maintaining a) security and b) functionality of said device, because for example you go bankrupt, financially, or like in this very case morally, all of those sources are released and from then on are open source.

  • Totally logical and expected functionality
  • Thanks for your input. I think there's some software bug causing this, the same hardware worked without issues for years and now, not all of us are affected (all devs are using the same laptop) Anyways, I won't waste too much time analyzing this, I'm doing mostly home office as a workaround and the ops guys are going to take a look next week.

  • Totally logical and expected functionality
  • I'm having the same issue at work at the moment. When I connect to my dual monitor setup at work, all my usb devices stop working. Mouse, keyboard, the internal camera, monitors... All dead till you reboot, then they work for 10 Minutes again.

    Now i have the same Monitor setup at home, no issues here. Mind you, it's a Lenovo ThinkPad with Lenovo monitors and it worked for years without issues.

    The Lenovo technician told our IT guy that's because my monitor setup at home is another generation with a different chipset in the usb hub/switch. After giving us a few tips that didn't work, like disconnecting the Monitors from power for a minute or using a different port on the notebook they defaulted to "You're shit out of luck because the support ends after 4 years" - The monitors are 4 years old.

  • Totally logical and expected functionality
  • Well, that's because they probably know one of the ports is Thunderbolt one plain USB.

    USB-C only appears to make things easier, actually it's all fucked up, sure the ports are the same, but you have no chance of determining what's behind it by just looking at it.

    But surely there's the advantage of only needing one type of cable? Well, only if you're willing to spend extraordinary amounts on your cables, there's a reason for the extreme price differences. You don't know if all the pins are connected, the shielding may be different and if you choose wrong power rating, your cable may overheat. So to sum up: you still need different cables, but now they're undistinguishable.

    Welcome to the world of tomorrow!

  • Why? There is enough space on the parking lot
  • While we can't unasshole everyone we can start ticketing ppl who park outside the lines. In most cities there's traffic wardens anyways, so that should be cheaper than installing bumpers on every parking spot.
