This is cool but also remember the practicalities of Fusion make it not much better than nuclear:

There's lots of developers contributing to the wifi drivers, there's just no "lead maintainer" now
Nope, there's only a few on-call childcare services and they're very expensive and booked way out in advance. You also have to do interviews with the care provider.
Same.
Japan doesn't have babysitters. It suuuuuucks.
curious if you have somewhere/someone you can trust the toddler with while you do those hobbies.
I found that having a support network (either personal through friends family, or socialized through the government) has a big effect on how miserable parents are early on.
Ooooo you're about to re-enter the shitty zone in like 4 years when they turn into teens and start calling you Hitler for not letting them shoot fireworks out of the car sunroof.
According to this study, after adjusting for income, having children is actually associated with higher happiness and well-being.
From a Psychology Today article that summarizes it:
However, household income may not be a good indicator of financial stress. A family with low income that lives in an area with a low cost of living might experience less financial stress than a family with a higher income that lives in an area with a much higher cost of living. Therefore, the researchers conducted an additional analysis in which they included a direct measure of whether or not the family experienced difficulties in paying bills in the last year. This analysis showed that difficulties in paying bills represented a central influence factor for the relation of having children and parental well-being. When the researchers statistically controlled for financial difficulties, having children was actually related to greater well-being in parents.
The first 3-5 years is incredibly stressful but it gets better as the kids are able to do more things for themselves and aren't trying to kill themselves 24/7.
and I see it when I'm forced to write fucking YAML for fucking Ansible. I let the GPTs do that for me, without worrying that I won't learn to code YAML for Ansible. Coding YAML for Ansible is NEVER going to be on my list of things I want to remember.
Feels like this is the attitude towards programming in general nowadays.
Having lived in like 7 different countries for long periods of time I'm convinced there is no objective measure of the quality of food, art, or music.
There are things that have measures if high quality in Japan that American would find absolutely foul, and the same in the other direction.
The leadership response to this and the subsequent backlash is starting to remind me of the NixOS debacle from about a year ago.
That resulted in the project being split and like 30% of the community moving off and creating Lix.
I would be disappointed, but not surprised, if we see something similar in the Kernel sometime in the next year or two...
Yea one of the most interesting applications of fusion reactor research is the requirements in advancements for material science also benefits fission and even solar power generation, so the research bears fruit well and above the stated goals.
