Couldn’t go to Northern Ireland but could go walk around the world. Yeah, right.

There’s nothing that would make me not see my son short of imprisonment. If he wanted to be around his kid he would be.

Not really. He has never had any real legislative power to back him. The biggest scandal surrounding his party was paying off congressmen and heads of parties in order for them to vote for welfare policies. These policies never would've been voted in if that was not the case. A lot of parties gatekeep votes for important legislation until they get handouts.

Ironically (or not at all) the man who individually received the most money from that scheme is the head of Flavio Bolsonaro's party, and the party who received the most payoff as a whole was Jair Bolsonaro's party at the time.

Politics in Brazil require a great deal of consensus, obscure dealmaking and corruption.

Voting is mandatory but people aren't dragged to the polls. If they don't vote they get a small fine, the repercussions are tiny. So participation is still an issue, there were about 30 million people who didn't vote in the runoff, against 33 million in the first round.

3 terms. Lula left in 2010, came back in 2022.

Can you give some ideas of what you use it for? I'm amenable to the idea of automating some things I just don't know what I'm missing. Or using it for things I never thought of before.

Yes, Unabomber was a total psychopath. Thoreau and Emerson never killed anyone.

I don't know what people expect. Fully vibe coded projects will have fully vibe coded websites, isn't that obvious?

Layers is for organization.

You can always have different files for different things but without @layers you'll bump into specificity issues. You'd also have to arrange your imports correctly or you spend countless hours on "why is this style being applied and not that one?".

It's what makes modular CSS (with cascade) actually possible.

From an employment perspective those are irrelevant industries. Number of actors and professional athletes that can earn a good living while doing it is in the low thousands, and even then it may be for a couple of years only.

That's only for an extremely small set of professions, for most people their parent's professions were not lucrative by the time they grew up.

My dad was in a lucrative and booming industry: the printing press during the digital transformation. By the time I got to college it was a dying industry. I was in a lucrative and booming industry: programming during the 2000s. By the time my son is in college it might be dying too.

What you're talking about is mostly about timeless industries like health care, some types of engineering, finance, etc.

But all things aren't equal. Love is not a formula to see how one can improve their social status.

There are people who see it that way, who marry for money and clout. We call them the unhappy ones.

I can name quite a few in South America alone. Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, etc.

"Accepting" is different from "tolerating with a few instances of hate crimes and likelihood of incarceration". You have to include non-white people in the acceptance criteria.

Tesla did it to themselves. They have a long history of claiming stuff and never actually delivering. Or delivering a washed down version that never makes commercial difference.

Imagine how many wasted hours in peer review these AI math papers will cause for the 1% chance of reaching a transformative idea.

It's the other way around: they can't fly because they only lived in Mauritius. Its closest living relative can fly and colonized a good chunk of the world.

What the hell? You don't even know me.

The article also says Brazil's "problems look like Delhi’s 25 years ago", which is very incorrect from what they're describing. Almost none of what is described in the article happened in Brazil 20 years ago, let alone today. Energy theft, for instance, happens here but at a minuscule scale compared to what's on the article.

I also doubt Estonia has any of these issues whatsoever, like energy theft.

It really seems like a vibecoded article with numbers informing incorrect conclusions. Perhaps with a dash of nationalistic pride. Unfortunate from IEEE.

> Like who the fuck actually enjoys acquantainces' children's birthdays without a beer or two?

That's really just a personal trait. I love going to my kid's friend's birthdays because we get to talk to the other parents who have become good friends as well, plus we don't have to look after the kids as much. "Adult time" and we know they're having fun. I don't have to drink in those.

I guess not everyone is that outgoing and not every parent group is as friendly as mine but it's hard to see getting drunk as a necessary counter to that.

> Turns out people suck at socialising without alcohol, and if alcohol disappears, people just stay at home and play video games or something.

Again, a personal trait. It's extremely common here in Brazil to drink but it's also very common to just not drink and have as much fun. Someone saying they need to have alcohol to enjoy themselves at a gathering is not going to be looked at very kindly, as if everyone else was just so boring they had to intoxicate themselves to bear through it.

Yeah, it’s not a good comparison. Give me endless parts and a maintenance window of 6 months every so often and I can make any server last a century.

Overbooked children or just mathematical combination? If you have 5 friends each with 1 kid and the kid only does 2 things a week chances are you won’t ever get them all together.

Seems like these parents are prioritizing their kids and probably encouraging things they enjoy doing rather than wine night. Chances are the kids are enjoying life.

It genuinely makes some searches that were impossible, possible. I was looking for a website that had a similar name and character to another but had an adjective at the start, I had forgotten the name. I just searched something to the effect of "site similar to X but has an adjective that starts with A" and it actually found what I wanted.

Literally impossible before. When it works it's like magic.

Isn’t this exactly why the Go team recommended vendoring deps for years and years before go modules came up? Even now it takes one simple command to vendor them.

True. But it’s not like they planned some vengeance against the VIM backup file.

People are making it sound like this is a huge company with a product and not a grouping of curious people with a couple hours of free time on a Sunday.

Most likely they never thought about it, then it broke, then it was not impactful enough to fix on their free time compared to other stuff.

Insane? Abhorrent?

Relax for a second. Get some perspective.

> the attitude that just because something is a persistent file on your filesystem that contains data that you might want is no reason for their program not to delete it meant they had no concept of a duty of care to their users.

That's the wrong way to look at it. NeoVIM has a different concept of care for their users. They're optimizing for another kind of care, more in line with modern expectations, which VIM did not care about (hence the fork).

It's not better or worse, just different.

This same article could've been written about how VIM has no native LSP integration or autocomplete and they don't have duty or care for their users.

I wasn't comparing Go to every language ever, just the ones people are most likely to pick. In that group Go (and Elixir) have more unique concurrency models.

That's just not what is referred to as green threads.

No. Preemptive scheduling plus M:N mapping combination that Go has is not common in other major implementations.

Other languages and their implementations of green threads usually have cooperative scheduling or M:1 mapping

Bhutan is for almost all effects an autonomous state in India, making it part of a larger heterogenous country.

If they wanted to be a more independent country with an independent economy they'd need to revise some of their policies.

You can't just "borrow" some of the things from China without China politics. Regional concentration there is directly tied with their hukou system. No democratic government is able to implement that system without collapsing.

Most of China development is sui generis and not replicable elsewhere.
