> Why would we ask that? Not ideal for what? It just is.

I'm pretty sure GP was using "ideal" in the sense of "made up of ideas", as in the philosophical concept of idealism, which is essentially the opposite of materialism: idealism is the position that the real world is that of the mind, and physics and the physical world is an emergent property of our minds, not the other way around.

Not that I think this is a real coherent position worth discussing.
> People who are irresponsible probably aren't calculating the costs..or they don't care.

Are you saying that poor people who have children are implicitly irresponsible for having had children? That seems to be what you are saying.

As a general rule, don't we want everyone to have kids—including poor people? What do poor people have to do to have kids "responsibly", in your view?

I watched a video from a woman talking about her aphantasia. I was struck by the fact that she is an avid reader and enjoys fiction. She said she processes descriptive text as facts. Like, if she read, "Raindrops glistened in the afternoon light as they rolled off the red maple leafs, falling peacefully to the lush green grass, below," she would just have a list of facts in her head and no visualization. It makes me wonder what such a person would write, themselves. How could they put together a scene?
What about a bunch?
As recommended by michaelsbradley below, I installed https://github.com/nim-lang/langserver. I'm using coc.nvim (https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim) so I followed the instructions here from nim langserver https://github.com/nim-lang/langserver#vimneovim and seems to be working well!
I lived in Phoenix for 18 years and New York for nearly 8 now, and I really don’t think it’s radical. You can find decent food from most world cuisines in Phoenix. In New York you can find 100 examples of each of them, as well as some less common ones. But it’s not fundamentally different.

I've been told by multiple Indians the best place to get Indian food is in London. Even compared to India itself in some ways it's better, as you can get food from all the different regions in one place.

An Australian here.

"A couple" is exactly 2, excepting very specific downward exaggeration ("I'll only have a couple of beers.")

"Several" is always more than 2 but always a small number - say 3, 4, or 5.

"A few" is always more than 2 and probably more than several.

"Many" would normally exceed several, probably by quite a bit.

And of course "one" is always 1, excepting downwards exaggeration similar to a couple.
IANALawyer (AI or otherwise) but I reached for the nearest visible thing they might have sicced their own allegedly pro-consumer legal-bot on... Their own terms of service.

The ToS makes me feel nervous, even by the already dismal standards of most sites.

> [16] You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless DoNotPay from and against any and all losses and threatened losses arising from, in connection with, or based on allegations whenever made of, any of the following: your breach of these Terms, your use of the Service, any claim that your use of the Service violates any applicable law, or any claim arising out of your negligent acts or omissions.

This sounds a bit like a "you agree that if anybody sues us for anything you'll pay all the bills--even if you're the one suing us."

> [19] Any comments or materials sent to DoNotPay or posted on the Site, including feedback data, such as questions, comments, suggestions or the like regarding the content of any such documents (collectively "Feedback"), shall be deemed to be the property of DoNotPay.

WTF? It's common to demand a license to reproduce the text users write, but what kind of company needs the power to sue me if I duplicate my own opinions on my own blog?

> [21] If there is any inconsistency between these Terms and any additional terms we may add, the additional terms will prevail.

So does this mean they can (or claim the power to) retroactively change the contract without my consent?
How exactly did they come here? Who paid for their flight or ship voyage? That is the "relatively rich" I'm talking about. My parents (and I) also came here on not much money, but I can realize that having the ability to come to the country in the first place as well as secure a job cannot be understated.
What a topic. The most disappointing thing for me coming back to the US from abroad is the food. We have a lot of immigrants but for whatever reason the food here just doesn't stand up to where it comes from.

American food it self is pretty underwhelming. It lacks flavor. Americans won't eat the flavorful parts of meat, wont eat anything with a head. Even boring Britain eats blood in blood sausage, you cant get out side specialty butchers in the US. It tastes great. Why can't we get fresh shrimp with their heads and shells on? The parts with all of the flavor. There are no spices or intense flavors. Even the sub cuisines the US does do OK in doesn't have intense flavors. BBQ got brought up which often relies on sweet sauces.

NYC pizza is a close to other countries ime of what food is like. It can be fast and good. It can be high end if desired. It's iconic and almost every likes it. Halal trucks also. Food trucks seemed to have potential, where people could experiment but they have gotten expensive, basically sit down restaurant prices.

Singapore has the best food culture imo. If you want an example what to strive for. Where there is good food at all price levels and experiences. People expect good food. To many places in the US get away with bullshit.

Part of the issue with the US i think is that its to hard to run a restaurant. There is to much overhead, regulation, hiring i suspect. So food quality suffers to keep a profit. There are to many mid tier burger places serving that same things. You cant just run a grill on the side of the road in the US with some seating.

IDK what with these comments acting like food in France is only baguettes and cheese? One of the popular food places in la marais is a falaffel place.

Damn I keep going, US has so much potential but its just wasted.
Counterpoint - I've had several people including vietnamese americans say that the pho you get in the US is better than what's in Vietnam because of the food inspectors and other government systems that ensure a safe food supply line and cooking preparation area etc versus Vietnam. I'll tell you I lived in Colombia and the best bandeja paisa is in texas versus the places in Colombia. I've spent years in Mexico and I can find mexican food that is almost as good. Nothing beats ramen in japan or sushi for that matter but some of the best sushi i ever ate was in a large city in the middle east and I've done several trips to Japan.

Americans aren't as stupid as you assume we are. We know often food like Chinese and Mexican is catered to us but the same happens all over. It's not like we're some special lazy garbage people. If you go to Spain and order Chinese, it's made to accomdate their tastes.
A friend from rural France visited me in Seattle a few years ago, and we went to a farmers’ market. I explained that the market was only open on weekends. He seemed genuinely confused and asked “where do people get their food the rest of the week?”
Housing is artificially expensive: zoning limits the construction of denser housing thus leading to a supply shortage and high prices. Most of America is under-built and the housing problem would go away if American cities were upzoned to a gentle six-story, mixed-use density.

Your points about how we must do better to make having kids less financially risky are excellent however. Better parental leave and tax incentives would help.
Which would be the third time in nearly 4 billion years. Still pretty unlikely. Both second and third examples are with an organism that already achieved the eukaryotic stage. It's still not clear if the original shift was a likely event.

I think there's room for reasonable people to disagree about specific national cuisines. Where I don't think there's much room for disagreement is that if you looked at the rankings for all the world's national/major regional cuisines, the USA would have the lowest total by a healthy margin.
As an author of open source software, you must expect people to use their system's toolchain. You can define minimum versions sure, but if you use Clang 16, you really ought to not break when a user tries to compile with Clang 17, unless your build system actually automatically downloads and uses the right clang version automatically. Most of us aren't using such a build system.
Yeah, it really wouldn’t be that hard to implement though. I think I’ll take a stab at something like this using GitHub cli tomorrow or Monday
You need a immigrant community large enough to be cooking for their own palate.
Los Angeles, for example, has a population of ~30K Thai, ~180K Japanese, and ~5M Mexican origin (numbers from Pew).

Plenty of options in LA for northern, Isaan, central and southern Thai between Western Ave and Thai Town, and pretty good ramen, soba, and sushi in Sawtelle, Little Tokyo or Torrance. Perhaps not best in the world, but not at all catering to American tastes and could rank above average in the origin country.
> There's just no room for Olive Garden.

This is just so untrue. There's tons of fast food restaurants all across Europe. There's a McDonalds in most historic city centers in Europe, and often a Burger King and a KFC as well. You picked Olive Garden as an example, and it's correct that they don't have any franchise locations in Europe, but there's plenty of American fast food (and fast casual to some extent) in Europe from other brands.
It's the fresh ingredients that make the difference my friend.

The fish, the veggies, the fresh garlic, whatever. That's what you are eating. You are not eating all the crap you put on it.

That's the point I'm trying to make. In America it's all about whatever nonsense we put on the dish. In France and much of Europe it's about the quality of the ingredients of the dish themselves, with minimal other stuff. Some olive oil, some butter. Here it's like the most complicated sauces slathered all over sub par main ingredients.

I'd much rather have some high quality (yet not expensive) pasta simply cooked with some olive oil and a bit of real parmesean cheese than a complicated sauce on low quality pasta.
At this point, why not just use the exact number of items discussed? This system is more complex without any improved precision.

Stable Diffusion (XL) already has many prompt expansion implementations. Some are straight up Llama finetunes, others are small models just for this purpose, and I think there was at least one research paper more directly hooking up an LLM into existing diffusion models.

...Ironically, the problem with SD is accessibility. There are hundreds of little barebones paid APIs/websites that don't implement the augmentations that make SD powerful, and there are a handful of janky, understaffed and tragically underfunded community projects that implement subsets of these reasonably well, that you need to be a Python dev with a GPU to figure out how to install and bugfix them.
No I don't. I just have to be aware of the horrifying reality of what is happening in China.
Depends of which European food. I'd rather eat US food than Dutch or English food. We kept eating in Chinatown in London because their food was both shitty and expensive. And we bought stuff from Indian grocery shops. I can't thank the Chinese and Indian immigrants enough for this. Germany was a bit better in this regard.
I am not Western in origin, but live in the West and grew up in a socialist state drinking socialist CCP friendly propaganda. Let me tell you this: China is definitely the bad guy.

India, Taiwan, SK, Japan, Phillippines, Vietnam etc. All these countries can't be wrong and the last time I glanced at a world map, they weren't in the West.

> But Americans have drank so much anti-China propaganda that they consider anyone who isn't saying "China bad" is automatically a paid CCP shill

No, they don't. If you think US propaganda is bad, you haven't faced Chinese propaganda. Within China and its subjugated colonies (Tibet, HK, etc), it is so common you won't even notice it.

Like fish not noticing water in the ocean.
Yes, I take your meaning :)
You have to swallow a lot of Chinese propaganda to feel compelled to post this.

See, it is easy to play this game.
That is the case in a lot of places for arrests, but wrong convictions are a thing too and those get reported. Plus, there are situations where someone posted a presumably funny picture of someone else, which you should absolutely have the right to not be found. It has an impact on your life for no good reason.
This is literally anything for any place. There are surely articles in Japan by Japanese people that criticize a certain aspect of their culture and then reassuring contrarians that cherry pick things to tell people what they want to hear because it sells newspapers gets ratings etc. But yeah, jump on the F america bandwagon on hacker news and act like we're unique in these things. This is literally all humans.

I do a lot of Linux + macOS + Windows support. Yeah third-party libraries are effectively a lost cause. It's ok if it's limited to cpp files. If it's in headers it's annoying.

We vendor all third-party dependencies but would probably bias towards fixing the warning. It just spirals out of control too fast if you don't. Ancient toolchains for embedded or similar is definitely tough.

If you can use modern toolchains then the combination of warnings across GCC + Clang + MSVC is probably a win.

Creole food is amazing, and is French inspired, but I think it would upset some folks to straight up call it French.
You kind of proved the OP point since a poor french would probably eat a baguette with butter and a vegetable soup.
RFCs are not legally binding. Most politicians have no idea what a RFC is. They don't care about the actual technical details. They will just order a result without being aware of how unrealistic and harmful it is. You might be an educated technical citizen, but when you don't comply then there will be all kinds of legal trouble.

Currently living in Melbourne and it’s so hard to bother cooking at home because I can go on a 5 minute walk and find somewhere that will serve an absolutely delicious meal that looks like it could be put on display in an art gallery and it costs only a little more than cooking yourself.

I have tons of computer magazines from the 80's and 90's in the attic, including many years of Byte. A monthly trek to a nearby city to grab the mags was part of nerd culture back in the day as it was the near only way to get computer info back in the days before the www.

Think about it like in the case of computers. The claim we are making is that our thoughts are essentially the same kind of things as the states that arise in a piece of software. And we already know that there exists today computer software which can be asked to modify itself through its own APIs.

Basically the way we view this is that CBT works kind of similarly to using the JVM APIs to modify some pieces of the running Java program to try to fix a bug. In this analogy, Psychiatric medicine would then be more like directly modifying the bits in RAM that represent a certain piece of executable code. They are both physical modifications ultimately, just working at different levels of abstraction.
I am not a native speaker, but my feeling is that several can also be used to insist on non-uniqueness. E.g. "Most rich families own several cars" or "Jupiter has several moons" (= not one). I'm surprised that it is not mentioned in the article.

Agree. This is precisely why they have stopped attacking cryptography itself like in the previous crypto wars. Now they aim for bypassing cryptography so that they can still claim that the data is kind of end-to-end encrypted.
> It'd be a useful thing to import without having to bring in the whole charade of using email and mailing lists (which most mail clients tend to be very unfavorable of in general nowadays)

This is a misconception. git itself has commands (git-format-patch and git-send-email) that automate the creation of patches and sending changeset email threads to the mailing list. The only thing one needs to do is set the appropriate configuration settings in their git config (which is a one time operation like setting your name and email address).

The actual interaction on the mailing list (responding to those who review patches and changesets can be done in any email client of one's choosing (though it's helpful to use an email client that supports threading using the Message-Id, In-Reply-To and Reference headers rather than one that only handles conversation view style replies).

> As an American I feel like it's common knowledge that we have shit food options.

If you live in a medium to large city in the United States you have great food options, but most people ignore them and go for the easy stuff.

> I don't know who is supposed to be shocked by the assertion that American food is worse than European food.

The article was probably intended more to play to the “America bad, Europe good” meme that permeates social media, not to shock people into some revelation.

The reality is that America does have good food options if you go looking for it, but it also has large amounts of convenient and processed foods for people to choose from. Turning this into another culture war topic isn’t really helpful.
The premise is more optimistic than you are suggesting:

1. Mass spying is unpopular. The only reliable support base is a small-ish group of unlikable busybodies.

2. Reducing civil liberties tends to come back to bite the people who implement it. The best part of the Trump backlash is watching the intelligence apparatus come down on the Republicans. Karma in a nutshell, they were one of the major enablers of all that stuff after 9/11. All these ideas like free speech and private communication are ultimately to protect politicians.

3. It is practically difficult to stop. Any country that tries to stop encrypted messengers would have to cripple their own economy by bringing in such limited computers that they can't do anything. And they'd be hopelessly vulnerable to foreign espionage.

This is not that hard of a political fight. They tried to ban strong encryption back in the PGP era and look how that went - SSL is everywhere, encrypted protocols are everywhere, we have cryptographically based assets and every company is encrypting everything they can lay their hands on at rest. The ban-encryption camp has a track record of complete failure. And The Children have been Thought Of and are living in the best era ever to be children.

When I was consulting on some government programs, I consciously kept my resume off the Internet.

I didn't have access to anything useful to spies, but some of the keywords might look to someone like I did. Like how some recruiters seem to spam all keyword search hits on LinkedIn.

I knew I'd have to report any kind of security incident, and I thought that might interrupt my contracts and income, while a cautious bureaucracy processes the incident. So, no resume online. Also, measures to try to prevent a random burglar from inadvertently stealing the work laptop.

(Now that I'm away from that work, I get to enjoy LinkedIn recruiter spams for Junior Python Leetcode Hazing Engineer roles, like everyone else.)

First, I don't know why this is going grey at my time of writing because it's true and if that's unsexy I guess me and a lot of Americans are just not meant for a life in France because bouncing around small specialty stores sounds like hell. Second, I honestly don't get the hate for super markets. You might not find high-end wagyu beef at Wal-Mart but you'll find basically any spice you want, a few different varieties of fish, lamb, beef, basically the same staple meats as any other country, and lots of regional 'niche' things from around the world. If the variety was bad it'd defeat the whole point of going to a supermarket. Yeah I guess you might miss out on the "opportunity" to buy a twelve dollar loaf of bread but if you can't make at least ten different good meals out of what's available in a supermarket your issue is frankly skill and not ingredients.
