That sounds like an awful experience and I’m sorry your wife had to go through that.

I just wanted to add that when my wife gave birth in the UK on the NHS last year she had an amazing experience and the level of support before during and after was incredible.

In general all my experiences with the nhs have been positive. In comparison the only other country I have experience with is Hong Kong where I had a dr laugh in my face when I enquired about a genetic condition I may have inherited.

The nhs is far from perfect and could use improvement. I think it’s just that most other countries are even worse.


Just to clarify yocto is not a distro but a project that allows you to create your own custom distro. Two yocto builds could be completely different from one another even using different package managers.


Yocto and various derivatives can be used to "build software" in the same way that Dockerfiles can be used to "build software" but using yocto is a much worse experience.


I think a hybrid model would be my ideal setup. Something like flextime core hours but extended to days of the week.


I would be happy to pay Google a monthly fee for all their services. Mainly just so I feel like a customer instead of a product and to give me the peace of mind that if something goes wrong I can talk to a person that can help me.

At the moment I'm looking out for whatever service provider will let me have the equivalent of email, drive, calendar, docs and sheets all in one place.

Does anyone know of any that might have slipped under my radar?

Edit: anything comming up that is I can't see anything on the list that does everything. My best bet at the moment is proton will come up with something.


Then why don't you? GSuite is a thing.


Huh I guess I assumed that was only for businesses and not personal use. Thanks I'll take a look!


> email, drive, calendar, docs and sheets all in one place.

Try iCloud.com

I think you can only sign up from an Apple device but otherwise it's all free (except for extra storage) and doesn't spread your data around.


Office 365?


There's https://gsuite.google.com/pricing.html which even lets you have email@yourdomain.com running under Gmail.

To get rid of ads and get Spotify-like music on Youtube there's: https://www.youtube.com/premium


Just to add to the list. My favorite manga was written by a woman (Full Metal Alchemist).

Some mind blowingly creative stuff!

Wholesome.


March comes in like a lion blew me away!


If you liked that, you shoud also check out monogatari series, tatami galaxy.


Huh, learn something new (about author). I never read the manga, but I really liked the "Silver Spoon" anime. Something about people opening new chapters and discovering new interest/passions really satisfies me.


The best use I found for it was making a kind of granola. I can't remember the exact recipie I used but a bunch come up when searching.


I always feel like I have to point out that something like 80% of soya world wide goes to animal feed(I think the oil may be extracted first as well).


Huh this reminds me of the TacTip from the Bristol Robotics Lab. I'm guessing the sensor works in a pretty similar way.

Oh it seems there are some instructions on how to build one yourself: https://softroboticstoolkit.com/tactip


Wow this sounds incredible. Part of me would love to try something like this. The Wikipedia article has more information on their struggles and is a fascinating read.

I think a lot of people underestimate how difficult it is to move manufacturing out of China. Manufacturing isn't all unskilled labour that can be moved to whatever the cheapest country is. There is a lot of expertise needed in modern manufacturing and these days China has most of the experts. I'm not saying it won't happen but it will be a more gradual shift over time than a sudden change.


This is correct. And China isn’t really interested in low quality sweat-labor manufacturing anymore. This brings in very little added value, and it damages the environment. But these jobs keep the lesser educated people from the villages occupied, and it gives them a chance to get their children a formal education.

Instead, they want massive robotic, automated, and mechanized manufacturing. Where a technician is standing by, and just watching the robots, for quality control.

All those assembly line technicians at Foxconn can go to college and train to be a Computer Scientist or Engineer. Then in another 10 years, China will have a massive amount of computer programmers, engineers, and AI scientists.
