    You are not alone. I'll share some resources I've found useful or informative.

    • Hyperfixed podcast: Kristin Has Doubts

    • NPR's Life Kit: "There's never a 'right' time for a baby — but these questions can help you decide"

    • Listened to interview with Ann Davidman in the past that was pretty illuminating just from the ad-hoc discussion

      • The website is kinda meh, but there is some some free stuff and the on-demand courses are $500, which honestly is not horrible for a life-altering decision if you're truly on the fence
      • Not an ad, no affiliation, and I haven't taken these courses, but I do encourage some more formal digging into the "what ifs," fears, and how your own experiences growing up factor into things

    I'd also encourage you to consider alternatives that are often not discussed. Some ones that come to mind are foster care, volunteering as a CASA, Big Brothers Big Sisters, "reading buddy" programs to help boost literacy, or simply seeking out a closer relationship with people you know who have kids. It really does take a village, so choosing not to have your own doesn't have to be a closed door for regular interactions with kids.

    I've heard the advice the first credit card you get should only be used at gas stations for the first several years. Helps you build credit with small-ish transactions and a clear boundary.

    Lack of (easy to install) drivers for Mac trackpad gestures. Seems like a waste to put it on an old laptop when you lose that functionality.

    It has hallmarks of an AI-generated website

    I've seen this claim a lot on various websites recently, and the overlaps seem small to me. It's starting to feel a lot like New York accents; many New Yorkers claims the boroughs have different accents. But when quizzed, many fail miserably.

    Even if such "hallmarks" exist, wouldn't the reliable detection make it undesirable and immediately changes the meta?

    Tapo from TP-Link prioritizes local data and control. From the Tapo RV50 Omni page...

    Wi-Fi is required for initial setup. After setup, the robot can still perform whole-home cleaning without Wi-Fi. The Tapo app is recommended for features such as scheduling, map management, and cleaning zones.

    I can't speak to how good their vacuums are though. I have one from Dreamehome, which can actually work locally with its buttons, but then you lose access to all the adjustments and features offered through the app.

    Generally speaking, you'll want to look for ones that support Home Assistant, since that's full local control. Looks like Ecovacs is one such brand.

    This seems to make the (large) assumption that an identification system works as expected today and continues working in the future. It will be a perpetual arms race.

    Also, there are frequent accusations that Spotify itself produces music (both AI and human) and promotes those artists via their official playlists to keep more of the payout pot for themselves. Reportedly there are ones for things like "deep focus electronic" that have entirely been taken over by AI under the direct purview of Spotify... so what's going to happen with those?

    Typescript is pretty the de-facto default in JavaScript world these days.

    I've yet to work at a company that uses it. I've had exactly two coworkers that loved it. Both didn't last long because they tried shoehorning it in and no one else liked working with it. It's awful for readability.
