if you keep posting the same thing in every reply to everyone in this thread, it won’t help.

we can have a nuanced conversation about how you support making thought-crimes illegal, and how we alreasy know videogames dont cause violence, but somehow because children are involved we have to ban every single thing possible
Thalidomide as a substance has a wide range of beneficial medical applications.

Cigarettes is interesting, growing tobacco certainly help some poor communities, it had cultural significance etc. Not easy.
If finances weren't an issue most couples would have more children. It's very practical to have them. I had an an awesome childhood because holidays were so much fun because my parents generation were so many and had lots of children too. We have a huge extended family. It's great/practical to have a huge family / clan regardless if its the 1800s or now.
I make pickles like these, but I've never seen them that old. Generally we make them and eat them within several months, then make more. Mango pickle is my favorite as it has just the right spiciness, while lemon pickles are often too sour for my taste. If you want to try them, they are usually at your local Indian grocery store.

These pickles are mainly eaten with rice or dishes like dosas and idlis, often when you have nothing else at home to eat, as it provides a quick and cheap meal, combining carbs with some flavor as to not make them bland. They are also quite good in yogurt rice to provide some spice.

No it is not. You are mistaken. The comment I was replying to was talking about software bugs.

It might be the case that the problem is a hardware issue but the article is extremely unclear about what the problem really is (maybe nobody knows?) and they claim to have fixed it with a software patch.
If I had been posed this question I could imagine it having gone two different ways. First, I could approach it as remembering, maybe not a car I saw yesterday, but a generic idea of some type of car. For example if I thought about a Japanese pickup or a Lamborghini, I would probably answer the following color question with "white" and "orange", because for me those are stereotypic colors that "come with" the memory. Perhaps many people think in this way and thus assume the color obviously is there.

The second way would be to abstractly build a car in my mind. Start with four tires, put a rough shape of a frame on it — lets make it a sedan. If I proceed this way, I probably would not choose a color, at least not early on. Like many in this thread, this is how I usually imagine things, as "wireframes". The color/texture is not there because I have not assigned it. I can't vividly see the things I imagine, but they can still have color just like they can have shape.
I came here for this comment :)
I think it's important to separate rural and suburbia.

I agree that the sense of community can be high in rural areas. People who live there can be very strongly rooted in the place.
Depopulation is taking its toll though.

Suburbia on the other hand...
No, I wouldn't get behind it either. The median income (individual but I'd be fine with household) in an area should be enough to buy a starter home in that area. Until then, the area is underbuilt. The Bay Area pretending an apocalyptic flood of poor people will descend upon them when professionals making a (extremely sarcastic voice) _mere_ 100k stand a chance of buying is and will always be laughable.
Yeah, probably.

But if, as hotpotamus suggests, "consent" is a useful way to look at this, then that's not good enough. You can't randomly do surgery on people just because you believe there's a 90% chance they'll be happy with the results.
Yes that's an obvious fundamental limitation of the entire design - it isn't remotely fail safe. You can't really fix that. You can reduce the chances of failure with redundant hardware and formal verification of the software.

It's not at all clear what the actual problem is here but in this thread we were discussing writing bug free software.
The U.S. Constitution refers to "the several States" in various places (e.g., Article I, Section 2).

Under U.S. law, therefore, several can mean 13 (the original number of states) or possibly 50 (the current number).
At some point the population will level off. Either it'll be by choice, or due to some resource limit. The voluntary option seems strongly preferable, as it doesn't involve vast numbers of people starving.
Oh please offer a rebuttal. The HN community is one of the most well-informed and logical communities. If you are right and I am just spewing propaganda on behalf of Palestinian refugees then they will support you and you will have helped advance the truth! JS Mills will be proud of you.
> I'm a Sunni Muslim who is fairly well-versed in the religion, and I can tell you it isn't an "obligation". Marriage is strongly encouraged, but usually without mention of children, though that's generally expected (probably more from a cultural angle). Islam is also generally (to my knowledge) accepting of contraception.

Sunni Islam is very diverse. I am sure there are many millions of Muslims out there who would agree with everything you said. But there are other Sunnis who disagree. Here are some quotes from the Salafist website IslamQA:

"it is permissible to temporarily stop having children, with the aim of spacing pregnancies or stopping them for a specific length of time, if there is a legitimate shar‘i need for that, according to the view of both spouses with mutual consultation and agreement, on condition that this will not lead to any harm..." (my emphasis) [0]

"If the decision to delay having children is widespread, at the societal, national or ummah-wide level, then in this case it becomes a destructive and negative choice, and in that case the ruling is that it is not allowed, because it has moved from being a permissible and natural matter to one that is imposed from without and will lead to negative consequences, and is therefore blameworthy" (my emphasis) [1]

"...having children is a right of both spouses, and it is not permissible for one of them to refuse with no excuse or good reason" [1]

"If the motive for delaying having children, or ceasing to do so, is to follow the cultural norms of non-Muslims and imitate them blindly, out of admiration for their culture and infatuation with their way of life, then undoubtedly the ruling in this case is that it is not allowed" [1]

IslamQA does say "not one of the scholars said that it is obligatory for a couple to produce children" [1] - however, read in the context of the rest of what they say, that seems to mean that married couples who have no children due to infertility or difficult circumstances do not sin - not that a married couple being "childfree by choice" is acceptable in Salafi Islam.

My impression is that IslamQA's position on this is the standard Salafi position. If some segments of Islam – such as the Salafis – view having children as highly encouraged, even quasi-obligatory, then (all else being equal) those segments of Islam are going to grow faster than segments of Islam who view having children as more optional.

It really bugs me when people say "one of the only" instead of "one of the few", I feel like there's a subtle semantic difference in there (everything is one of the only / it doesn't necessarily imply rarity, or anything really).
Interesting, glad I'm not alone here. We had a similar capstone for SE, mine was building out a scavenger hunt game in AR. That was pretty cool, even though, again, getting group members to contribute was difficult.

Thanks for sharing
Mistakenly? Couple literally means two, as in, the people there look like a nice couple.
Housing is expensive because of stupid regulations that prevent new constructions and NIMBY communities with too much power.
> Are you saying that poor people who have children are implicitly irresponsible for having had children? That seems to be what you are saying.

I am not sure how this is a controversial point? If you cannot properly take care your children, don't have one. It doesn't matter if its poverty, mental health or anything out of your control. Obviously, that is not to say that poverty is their fault but we have better standard of how much suffering a child should suffer.
> That's hard to put into words in the middle of the night. In the end, I tend to recall my dreams quite well, many of which have a permanent place among other episodic real life events.

Yeah I found that when I start losing the ability to recall that if I just try to remember. That's the point of the journal anyways. But yeah, it is crazy the dreams I had and how real they were. Entire lives. And even the lessons you learn from choices you make. The emotions and how things even feel real to the though.

> and the dream noticing what you're up to, eventually booting you from the matrix.

This kept happening to me! The first time I did it started to fly but then just kept going up and up and it got brighter and I woke up haha.

> Take a moment to really appreciate the extreme level of graphics, and other senses the mind can render.

It really is insane and makes me think of the computation that the brain can do so efficiently. Like it doesn't get everything right -- which is why you're really able to get lucid (e.g. you can read something 2 times and it'll be different) -- but it is very real regardless. I'm sure there is a lot of compression going on and some tricks being played but it is often convincing. But what is also insane is that we know even pretty small animals dream in at least some realistic way. My cat tries to run in her sleep, meows, chirps like she does at birds, and wakes up with different emotions. I've had a pet rat do some similar things, at least the feet. It begs the question why this evolved, how important it is (essentially simulating your environment. Like learning from synthetic data, but shower thoughts on steroids), and how this relates to consciousness. And I wonder if we'll push harder to make machines do these incredible feats in much smaller packages and without nearly the same training or energy requirements. And I wonder how convincing these simulations are to the smaller creatures.
I can't agree more with this post! As a middle eastern producer trying to incorporate maqam, the workflow is custom...and frustrating...and funnily still better on a workstation. And CV control is not viable as a control for acoustic sampled vsts.

> Can’t complain about less kids

People had nothing after ww2 yet had a lot more kids. We are way richer now in comparison so the cost of kids is really a bad argument to make.
I don't think so. Generative AI is pretty good at interpolating between data points; generalization is the goal in training a model. When you have input which is a continuum of ages, body sizes, body featues and so on, the model can triangulate to hypothecate things it has never seen.
Bad guy for whom?

I don't think there are universally good and bad guys in this game. There are interests. If you live in the west your interest is for western economy to be the first which means for other economies to be, well, not first. If you live elsewhere the same applies.

As for me, I hate all of my overlords with passion. US EU Russia China, you are all the same to me. Not people, of course. Governments, armies and corporations. Well, almost the same. US and EU dropped bombs on me during my lifetime, Russia and China did not.
Your experience is quite limited. Too limited to have a meaningful opinion on this subject frankly.
Maybe if you’re like me, you might prefer to meet people in the flesh. A good way to do that I find is to join a club, or some other group hobby where you’re more likely to meet people - and also meet people who like doing similar stuff to you which is a nice, neutral way to make new friends and maybe even find a significant other.
Maybe we should start using tuple in common parlance more.
Don’t think of consumerism as consumer products. Think of it as “consumption”, rather than creation. A focus on consuming and experiencing things in the world, not building them - of which a family with children is a prime example.
No government has to have the power to punish corporations for speaking out against a policy or to regulate a company because they think they aren’t getting the coverage they deserve.
>you must expect people to use their system's toolchain

Why? I don't expect people to build against their system libraries.

>unless your build system actually automatically downloads and uses the right clang version automatically

Nix, bazel, buck, etc all support defining the toolchain for your build. Reproducable builds are useful. You are supporting a known configuration. Crashes can all be collected an easily analyzed. You can be sure you have a properly compiled version by verifying the hash.

>Most of us aren't using such a build system.

That's okay. You can just ingest a prebuilt artifact if you aren't capable of tying it into your build system.
Anf brainwashing that everyone should have a career while in reality most people end up simply with jobs and not careers. Believing lies has a societal cost.
Just that it's set up in a particular way, I suspect. A long running project/organization will accrete plenty of tools, scripts, configurations, etc that make their environment different than another using a similar stack.
Are you claiming that the main target of the protests, police, or their allies aren't prime suspects?
Yes, building and releasing a game that turns a profit is, in reality, a success.
As a programmer, you can absolutely make more money more reliably by getting a job or working freelance.

The problem the article is addressing (I think) is that this reality does not seem to inform the popularly held beliefs and expectations of (inexperienced?) indie game developers, and the effects of that.
Yes because absolutely nothing has changed since the 1800s.
So, one is conditioned to “not have kid”, but having them is perfectly natural and there is absolutely no conditioning in wanting them?

When my partner in a childless relationship gets asked “but why?” when she says she doesn’t want children, her answer is this: “would you have asked the same question, had I said I want them?”
Strip clubs and illicit drugs go hand in hand IME. It's not strictly a look and don't touch scene. Sure there's plenty of that going on, but it's kind of a front for the real business that gets discussed once you're in private and deemed trustworthy.
But I build a lot. Most of my hobbies involve creativity and making of things like electronics and 3D printing.

I don't think having a family would be as valuable even.
Try reading the article without an adblocker. It's basically one long ad for packing machines and extras. "Build cool thing with cardboard" is to get people in the door.

> every recruiter I’ve worked with had a guarantee period

Maybe I was not told about it, I was not the person who denied the application - but at most it was a "6 months at work" guarantee, where the fee has to be paid as soon as the person has been 6 months employed at the company.

> There’s also the option to do contract to hire. If the fee to hire someone is a deterrent, it doesn’t feel like a great sign of the company’s financial situation or how they view money. $10k extra for someone who may work out is not gonna break the bank when hiring employees that are paid well north of 100k.

I agree (I'm no longer working for the company), but I made this experience more than once. In edge cases or cases where the application is about < 60k, > 10k (!) can be pretty much for a smaller company / startup, when the person is a "job hopper" that is only looking for a time filler job and leaves after a year.

> Employees typically cost the company around 1.5-2x the salary for all other overhead, so 10k is a drop in the bucket.

The fee was actually higher than 10k (I wrote >10k), but 10k was the fee, that would have been acceptable for the new applicant, that was denied.

All in all I think recruiters are maybe an option for jobs >60k, but in most cases it is better to look for a job yourself. In my experience Recruiters are intrusive (I got nonsense emails all the time), don't provide jobs that aren't already there, don't do much research about the company, they have no "early access", they don't do much "work" you couldn't do yourself besides souping up your curriculum vitae. They are PAID for pleasing the companies, so they mostly don't care about your needs or if you fit the company. Pretty often they call you after a year in the new job they offered and tell you about this new absolutely unique application they now have for you... So NO, I don't like recruiters :-)
You couldn't observe that around you growing up? It's was clear to me growing up that big families and children with siblings were mostly happier. It didn't matter if the family was rich or barely getting by.
So the traditional way to make boiled peanuts in GA is to put them in a big pot over a fire and boil them for many hours on the side of the road. You see old men doing it and you pull over and pay them about $5 for a giant cup of them.

I don't have time for that so I pressure cook them and they turned out pretty good but nothing ever beats the flavor of the road ones haha

I’m sat here with a bunch of metal in my shoulder and a brain full of analgesia after coming off my mountain bike. I crashed at about a tenth of the speed I’d normally be going.

My helmet was trashed and definitely saved my life. I’m wondering whether extra padding would have saved me from weeks of pain, a surgery and months of immobilisation followed by months of rehab.

The thought of blasting down the road on a One wheel in T-shirt and jeans gives me chills now.
Well I don’t want to be too harsh, but from my point of view, the idea that your hobbies are more important than the creation of life is a very shallow consumeristic one. It’s a very limited, self-focused way of being in the world.

That’s not even mentioning the fact that you can share your hobbies with your children.
Honestly, I think it's simply that people have much more interesting lives these days. Babies and entertainment are substitute goods.
It's not an obligation in the sense that it's not strictly mandatory.

I'd love to see a histogram of all game budgets for every game on Steam. I think the missing middle would be immediately apparent. We'd see the AAA games in the $250-500 million range, a few scattered games below that, and then an absolutely huge mass in the <$10,000 range. I don't know why people don't make more games in the $100,000-$1,000,000 range. I suspect that it's hard to find investors for small projects like that.
I wish I could upvote you more. I too think that advertisements are at best unethical, at worst downright evil. Just like organized religion, the ads are designed to distort the perceived reality into something that it isn't and part the fool and their money.
After ww2 lots more women didn't work and so could provide childcare.

The problem today is a 2 full-time salaried income is required to be able to afford a decent standard of living for a family, whereas even as late as the 80s it was feasibly to raise a family on a single median income.
> No garlic, no onions, etc.

The no garlic and no onion are part of a much broader practice to avoid root vegetables. Anything that grows below the ground is not consumed. Jains (the people who follow Jainism) mostly follow this (I say “mostly” because even though they’re supposed to, many may not).

Orthodox Hindus may also follow similar practices. Hindu festivals and rituals also avoid onion and garlic.

There’s a lot more to say than can be contained in a comment. You can read about Jain food and Sattvic food to know more.
What I like about snowboarding is it feels fast, even when you're going not-that-fast (at least in my case). I once had a friend video me coming down the hill, and when I watched the video, I thought: wow, I thought I was going much faster than that!

I have a friend, one of the most unique individuals I've met, who proves that it's possible to have strong food culture in the US (SF at least). For him, food is an all-day event starting at 6:30am when he goes down to the docks to buy fresh fish. Then he'll go to an olive orchard to pick olives, which he takes to a friend who has the machinery to make olive oil. He picks cilantro from his garden to start the chimichurri as he peels garbanzo beans for the hummus. Etc etc.

When I was visiting him I wanted to stop by the Safeway a block from his house and he was fascinated by it because he had never been to a Safeway before.

It's amazing, and I respect it a lot, but here I am, I just ate some freeze dried french fries, and I'm OK with it. Most Americans are like me, and we're all OK with it. That's the point of the article. But, I will say, if you want to be a true foodie in America, the opportunity is there.
> They'll often be highly qualified, though not proficient in the host culture. That's how you see so many Pilipino in the medical field. Or Indian people in IT etc.

Immigrants with a certain heritage (MENAPT) are on average unqualified and are a burden on the host social system their whole life[1]. It's certainly what I can witness in Germany as well, however we actively seek to suppress any studies that could show this. Up until 2017 we had at least criminal statistics that showed that it's also a broader problem regarding crime[2], but we axed these statistics of course.
